Existence of Triple Positive Solutions to a Four-Point Boundary Value Problem of a Fractional Differential Equations

Abstract

In this paper, the existence result of at least triple positive solutions to a boundary value problem of a fractional differential equations is achieved by means of the Avery-Peterson fixed point theorem and the careful analysis of the associate Green's function in which the derivative of unknown function is involved in the nonlinear term explicitly. An example illustrating our main result is given. Our results complement the previous work in the area of the positive solutions of fractional differential equations.
