We study the existence of multiple positive solutions for a nonlinear singular Riemann–Liouville fractional differential equation with sign-changing nonlinearity, subject to Riemann–Stieltjes boundary conditions which contain fractional derivatives. In the proof of our main theorem, we use various height functions of the nonlinearity of equation defined on special bounded sets, and two theorems from the fixed point index theory.
We investigate the existence of positive solutions of a Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equation with sequential derivatives, a positive parameter and a nonnegative singular nonlinearity, supplemented with integral-multipoint boundary conditions which contain fractional derivatives of various orders and Riemann-Stieltjes integrals. Our general boundary conditions cover some symmetry cases for the unknown function. In the proof of our main existence result, we use an application of the Krein-Rutman theorem and two theorems from the fixed point index theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
