Abstract

This paper reports the investigation of eigenvalue problems for two classes of nonlinear fractional differential equations with generalized p-Laplacian operator involving both Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives and Caputo fractional derivatives. By means of fixed point theorem on cones, some sufficient conditions are derived for the existence, multiplicity and nonexistence of positive solutions to the boundary value problems. Finally, an example is presented to further verify the correctness of the main theoretical results and illustrate the wide range of their potential applications.

Summary

Introduction

Eigenvalue problem is a class of homogeneous boundary value problems for differential equations with parameters. In [8], Eloe et al used the theory of u0-positive operators to study boundary value problem for a class of linear fractional differential equations. In [12], eigenvalue comparison results of boundary value problems for linear fractional differential equations with the Caputo fractional derivative were obtained. In [11], Han et al investigated the existence of positive solutions to the following eigenvalue problem for nonlinear fractional differential equation with generalized p-Laplacian operator: D0β+ φ D0α+ u(t) = λf u(t) , 0 < t < 1, u(0) = u (0) = u (1) = 0, φ D0α+ u(0) = φ D0α+ u(1) = 0, Nonlinear Anal.
