“…The monographs [30], [31], [32], and [33] provide excellent sources for the theory and applications of fractional calculus. Among all the topics, the existence of positive solutions of boundary value problems (BVPs) for fractional differential equations is currently undergoing active investigation; see for example, [3], [4], [5], [6], [12], [16], [21], [22], [27], [28], [29], [35], [36] and the references therein.…”
