Positive solutions for boundary-value problems of nonlinear fractional differential equations

In this paper, we consider the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the nonlinear fractional differential equation boundary-value problem $$displaylines{ mathbf{D}_{0+}^alpha u(t)=f(t,u(t)),quad 0<t<1cr u(0)+u'(0)=0,quad u(1)+u'(1)=0 }$$ where $1<alphaleq...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we consider the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the nonlinear fractional differential equation boundary-value problem $$displaylines{ mathbf{D}_{0+}^alpha u(t)=f(t,u(t)),quad 0<t<1cr u(0)+u'(0)=0,quad u(1)+u'(1)=0 }$$ where $1<alphaleq 2$ is a real number, and $mathbf{D}_{0+}^alpha$ is the Caputo's fractional derivative, and $f:[0,1]imes[0,+infty)o [0,+infty)$ is continuous. By means of a fixed-point theorem on cones, some existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions are obtained.
