Positive solutions of nonlinear eigenvalue problems for a nonlocal fractional differential equation (Q410520)

Summary: By using the fixed point theorem, positive solutions of nonlinear eigenvalue problems for a nonlocal fractional differential equation \(D^\alpha_{0+} u(t) + \lambda a(t)f(t, u(t)) = 0\), \(0 < t < 1\), \(u(0) = 0, u(1) = \sum^\infty_{i=1} \alpha_i u(\xi_i)\) are considered, where \(1 < \alpha \leq 2\) is a real number, \(\lambda\) is a positive parameter, \(D^\alpha_{0+}\) is the standard Riemann-Liouville differentiation, and \(\xi_i \in (0, 1), \alpha_i \in [0, \infty)\) with \(\sum^\infty_{i=1} \alpha_i \xi^{\alpha -1}_i < 1, a(t) \in C([0, 1], [0, \infty)), f(t, u) \in C([0, \infty), [0, \infty))\).
