Singular Positone and Semipositone Boundary Value Problems of Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations

We present some new existence results for singular positone and semipositone nonlinear fractional boundary value problem D0+αu(t)=μa(t)f(t,u(t)),  0<t<1, u(0)=u(1)=u′(0)=u′(1)=0, where μ>0, a, and f are continuous, α∈(3,4] is a real number, and D0+α is Riemann-Liouville fractional deri...

Description
Summary:We present some new existence results for singular positone and semipositone nonlinear fractional boundary value problem D0+αu(t)=μa(t)f(t,u(t)),  0<t<1, u(0)=u(1)=u′(0)=u′(1)=0, where μ>0, a, and f are continuous, α∈(3,4] is a real number, and D0+α is Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. Throughout our nonlinearity may be singular in its dependent variable. Two examples are also given to illustrate the main results.
