Positive solutions of nonlocal boundary value problem for high-order nonlinear fractional \(q\)-difference equations (Q2319272)

Summary: We study the nonlinear \(q\)-difference equations of fractional order \((D_q^\alpha u)(t) + f(t, u(t)) = 0\), \(0 < t < 1\), \((D_q^i u)(0) = 0\), \((D_q^\beta u)(1) = a(D_q^\beta u)(\eta)\), \(0 \leq i \leq n - 2\), where \(D_q^\alpha\) is the fractional \(q\)-derivative of the Riemann-Liouville type of order \(\alpha\), \(n - 1 < \alpha \leq n\), \(\alpha > 2\), \(1 \leq \beta \leq n - 2\), and \(0 \leq a \leq 1\). We obtain the existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions by using some fixed point theorems. Finally, we give examples to illustrate the results.
