Abstract:

We consider boundary value problem for nonlinear fractional differential equation ð · ð ›¼ 0 + ð ‘¢ ( ð ‘¡ ) + ð ‘“ ( ð ‘¡ , ð ‘¢ ( ð ‘¡ ) ) = 0 , 0 < ð ‘¡ < 1 , ð ‘› − 1 < ð ›¼ ≤ ð ‘› , ð ‘› > 3 , ð ‘¢ ( 0 ) = ð ‘¢ ′ ( 1 ) = ð ‘¢ î…ž î…ž ( 0 ) = ⋯ = ð ‘¢ ( ð ‘› − 1 ) ( 0 ) = 0 , where ð · ð ›¼ 0 + denotes 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.
