The existence of solutions to boundary value problems of fractional differential equations at resonance (Q629313)

The author obtains a solution of the Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equation \[ D_{0+}^{\alpha}u(t) = f(t,u(t), D_{0+}^{\alpha-1}u(t)) \quad \mathrm{a. \, e.} \quad t \in (0,1) \] satisfying the non-local conditions \[ u(0) = 0, \quad D_{0+}^{\alpha-1}u(0) = \sum_{i=1}^m a_i D_{0+}^{\alpha-1}u(\xi_i), \quad D_{0+}^{\alpha-2}u(1) = \sum_{i=1}^n b_i D_{0+}^{\alpha-2}u(\eta_i). \] It is assumed that \(2 < \alpha < 3\), \(0 < \xi_1 < \dots < \xi_m < 1\), \(0 < \eta_1 < \dots < \eta_n < 1\), \( \sum_{i=1}^m a_i = 1\), and \(\sum_{i=1}^n b_i \eta_i =1\). The existence of a solution at resonance follows from the coincidence degree theorem of Mawhin.
