Existence results for a new class of boundary value problems of nonlinear fractional differential equations (Q272129): Difference between revisions

Summary: We study the following fractional boundary value problem \[ \begin{aligned} ^cD_{0^+}^\alpha & u(t)+2r\,^cD_{0^+}^{\alpha-1} u(t)+r^2\,^cD_{0^+}^{\alpha-2}u(t)=f(t,u(t)),\quad r>0,\quad 0<t<1,\\ & u(0)=u(1),\quad u'(0)=u'(1),\quad u'(\xi)+ru(\xi)=\eta,\quad \xi\in(0,1),\end{aligned} \] where \(2\leqslant\alpha<3\), \(^cD_{0^+}^{\alpha-i}(i=0,1,2)\) are the standard Caputo derivative and \(\eta\) is a positive real number. Some new existence results are obtained by means of the contraction mapping principle and Schauder's fixed point theorem. Some illustrative examples are also presented.
