AbstractThe authors obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one and two positive solutions of a higher order semipositone fractional boundary value problem with a forcing term in the differential equation. Examples are included to illustrate the results.
In this paper using topological degree we study the existence of nontrivial solutions for a higher order nonlinear fractional boundary value problem involving Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives. Here, the nonlinearity can be sign-changing and can also depend on the derivatives of unknown functions.
We consider boundary value problem for nonlinear fractional differential equationD0+αu(t)+f(t,u(t))=0, 0<t<1, n-1<α≤n, n>3, u(0)=u'(1)=u′′(0)=⋯=u(n-1)(0)=0, whereD0+αdenotes the Caputo fractional derivative. By using fixed point theorem, we obtain some new results for the existence and multiplicity of solutions to a higher-order fractional boundary value problem. The interesting point lies in the fact that the solutions here are positive, monotone, and concave.
The aim of this paper is to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a boundary value problem associated with a fractional nonlinear differential equation with higher order posed on the half-line. An appropriate continuous embedding for suitable Banach spaces are proved and the Minty–Browder theorem for monotone operators is used in the proof of existence of solutions for a boundary value problem of fractional order posed on the half-line.
Abstract
In this paper, we derive some Hartman–Wintner type inequalities for a certain higher order fractional boundary value problem. As an application of our results, we obtain a lower bound for the eigenvalues of the corresponding fractional operator.
