Monotone iterative technique for conformable fractional differential equations with deviating arguments (Q2213410)

Summary: This paper is concerned with the existence of extremal solutions for periodic boundary value problems for conformable fractional differential equations with deviating arguments. We first build two comparison principles for the corresponding linear equation with deviating arguments. With the help of new comparison principles, some sufficient conditions for the existence of extremal solutions are established by combining the method of lower and upper solutions and the monotone iterative technique. As an application, an example is presented to enrich the main results of this article.
