Positive solution for the nonlinear Hadamard type fractional differential equation with \(p\)-Laplacian (Q2443777)

Summary: We study the following nonlinear fractional differential equation involving the \(p\)-Laplacian operator \[ \begin{aligned} D^\beta(\varphi_p(D^\alpha u(t)))=f(t,u(t)), \, 1 < t < e,\\ u(1)=u'(1)=u'(e)=0, \, D^\alpha u(1)=D^\alpha u(e)=0,\end{aligned} \] where the continuous function \(f:[1,e]\times [0,+\infty)\to [0,+\infty)\), \(2<\alpha \leq 3\), \(1<\beta \leq 2\). \(D^\alpha\) denotes the standard Hadamard fractional derivative of the order \(\alpha\), the constant \(p>1\), and the \(p\)-Laplacian operator \(\varphi_p(s)=|s|^{p-2}s\). We show some results about the existence and the uniqueness of the positive solution by using fixed point theorems and the properties of Green's function and the \(p\)-Laplacian operator.
