Eigenvalue intervals for nonlocal fractional order differential equations involving derivatives

Abstract

In this paper, we firstly consider the nonlocal fractional order differential equations involving derivatives. By means of a fixed-point theorem on a cone, the eigenvalue intervals of the above problem are established. Then by using a fixed point theorem for operators on a cone, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple (at least three) positive solutions to the nonlocal boundary value problem.
