Some fractional-order one-dimensional semi-linear problems under nonlocal integral boundary conditions (Q259759)

This paper is devoted to the study of the Caputo fractional differential equation \[ ^CD_q\,x(t) = f(t,x(t)), \, 1 < q \leq 2, \] coupled with two types of nonlocal and nonlinear integral boundary conditions. The results follow from fixed point theory methods. A first existence result is deduced from Schaefer's theorem. A second one is obtained by means of the Banach contraction fixed point theorem. Moreover, using a Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, a third existence result is proved. Some others existence results are obtained as application of the degree theory.
