Description
Summary:We are concerned with the following nonlinear three-point fractional boundary value problem: D0+αut+λatft,ut=0, 0<t<1, u0=0, and u1=βuη, where 1<α≤2, 0<β<1, 0<η<1, D0+α is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, at>0 is continuous for 0≤t≤1, and f≥0 is continuous on 0,1×0,∞. By using Krasnoesel'skii's fixed-point theorem and the corresponding Green function, we obtain some results for the existence of positive solutions. At the end of this paper, we give an example to illustrate our main results.
