Abstract

We study the existence of positive solutions of a nonlinear fractional heat equation with nonlocal boundary conditions depending on a positive parameter. Our results extend the second-order thermostat model to the non-integer case. We base our analysis on the known Guo-Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorem on cones.

Highlights

  • Fractional calculus has been studied for centuries mainly as a pure theoretical mathematical discipline, but recently, there has been a lot of interest in its practical applications

  • Fractional differential equations have arisen in mathematical models of systems and processes in various fields such as aerodynamics, acoustics, mechanics, electromagnetism, signal processing, control theory, robotics, population dynamics, finance, etc. [ – ]

  • Using fixed point index theory and some results on their work on Hammerstein integral equations [, ], they obtained results on the existence of positive solutions of the boundary value problem. They have shown that if β ≥ – η, positive solutions exist under suitable conditions on f

Introduction

Fractional calculus has been studied for centuries mainly as a pure theoretical mathematical discipline, but recently, there has been a lot of interest in its practical applications. Using fixed point index theory and some results on their work on Hammerstein integral equations [ , ], they obtained results on the existence of positive solutions of the boundary value problem. They have shown that if β ≥ – η, positive solutions exist under suitable conditions on f. The Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order α > of a function g : ( , ∞) → R is given by. The Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order α > of a function g : ( , ∞) → R is given by.
