Eigenvalue of fractional differential equations with \(p\)-Laplacian operator (Q1955996)

Summary: We investigate the existence of positive solutions for the fractional order eigenvalue problem with \(p\)-Laplacian operator \(-\mathcal D^\beta_t(\varphi_p(\mathcal D^\alpha_t x))(t) = \lambda f(t, x(t)), t \in (0, 1), x(0) = 0, \mathcal D^\alpha_t x(0) = 0, \mathcal D^\gamma_t x(1) = \sum^{m-2}_{j=1} a_j \mathcal D^\gamma_t x(\xi_j)\), where \(\mathcal D^\beta_t, \mathcal D^\alpha_t, \mathcal D^\gamma_t\) are the standard Riemann-Liouville derivatives and \(p\)-Laplacian operator is defined as \(\varphi_p(s) = |s|^{p-2}s, p > 1\). \(f : (0, 1) \times (0, +\infty) \to [0, +\infty)\) is continuous and \(f\) can be singular at \(t = 0, 1\) and \(x = 0\). By constructing upper and lower solutions, the existence of positive solutions for the eigenvalue problem of fractional differential equation is established.
