Resonant mixed fractional-order \(p\)-Laplacian boundary value problem on the half-line (Q2078379)

In this paper, the authors study the following fractional-order \(p\)-Laplacian boundary value problem at resonance, involving both left Caputo and right Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives on the half-line, with nonlocal boundary conditions \[\begin{cases} D^{a}_{-}\phi_p(D^b_{0+}u(t))=e^{-t}w(t,u(t), D^b_{0+}u(t)), ~~~ t\in (0,\infty),\\ I^{1-b}_{0+}u(0)=0, ~ \phi_p(D^b_{0+}u(\infty))=\phi_p(D^b_{0+}u(0)), \end{cases} \] where \(D^{a}_{-}\) is the left Caputo fractional derivative on the half line and \(D^b_{0+}\) the right Riemann-Louville fractional derivative on the half-line, \(0<a, b\le 1,\) \(1<a+b\le 2,\) \(\phi_p(r)=|r|^{p-2},\) \(p\ne 2,\) with \(\phi_q=\phi_p^{-1},\) \(1/q+1/p=1,\) and \(w:[0,+\infty)\times \mathbb{R}^{2}\to \mathbb{R}\) is a continuous function. An existence result is obtained via Ge and Ren coincidence degree theory. An example illustrating the obtained result is also presented.
