Positive solutions for fractional differential equation at resonance under integral boundary conditions (Q2162663)

In the last few decades, there have been large number of results in the study of the existence of solutions for boundary value problems of fractional differential equations. Many authors focused on the study of existence of positive solutions to non-resonant fractional boundary value problems. It is well known that the existence of positive solutions to nonlinear fractional boundary value problems is very difficult when the resonant case is considered. In the article, the authors study a class of integral boundary value problems of Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations under resonance conditions. Some results of uniqueness of nonnegative solution and existence of positive solutions for the boundary value problems are established by using the fixed point index theory. Finally, an example is given to show the main results obtained in the paper.
