Three-point boundary value problems of fractional functional differential equations with delay (Q2436179)

This work is concerned with the existence of three point boundary value problems involving fractional derivatives \[ {}^C D^\alpha u(t) = f(t,u_t,{}^C D^\beta u(t)),~~0<t<1, \] \[ u'(0) = 0,~u'(1)=\lambda u'(\eta), \] where \({}^CD^\alpha\), \({}^C D^\beta\) are Caputo fractional derivatives, \(2<\alpha<3\), \(0<\beta<1\). The boundary value problem is reformulated into an abstract Fredholm integral equation by means of the Green function. Then two existence results are given by using Schauder's fixed point theorem and the Banach contraction principle.
