On Multiple Positive Solutions for Singular Fractional Boundary Value Problems with Riemann-Stieltjes Integrals

Abstract

In this paper, the existence result of at least two positive solutions is obtained for a nonlinear Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equation subject to nonlocal boundary conditions, where fractional derivatives and Riemann-Stieltjes integrals are involved. The nonlinearity possesses singularities on both its time and space variables. The discussion is based on the fixed point index theory on cones.
