Existence of solutions for fractional differential equations of order \(q \in (2,3]\) with anti-periodic boundary conditions (Q711531)

The authors consider a fractional order differential equation of order \(q\), which lies between 2 and 3, with anti-periodic boundary conditions. They establish existence and uniqueness of solutions to fractional order differential equations with anti-periodic boundary conditions and for the two-point boundary value problem by using contraction mapping principal. They also prove the existence of at least one positive solution for the two-point fractional boundary value problem by using Krasnosel'skii's fixed point theorem. Finally, the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the anti periodic boundary value problem is explained by an example.
