Abstract

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of a positive solution for the singular nonlinear fractional differential equation boundary value problem , , , , where is a real number, is the standard Riemann-Liouville differentiation and , with . Our analysis relies on a fixed-point theorem in partially ordered set. As an application, an example is presented to illustrate the main result. MSC:26A33, 34B15, 34K37.

Summary

Introduction

Fractional differential equations have gained considerable importance due to their application in various sciences, such as physics, mechanics, chemistry, engineering, etc. There are few papers, which have considered the singular boundary value problems of fractional differential equations; see [ – ]. Delbosco and Rodino [ ] considered the existence of a solution for the nonlinear fractional differential equation Dα +u = f (t, u), where < α < and f : [ , a] × R → R, < a ≤ +∞ is a given continuous function in ( , a) × R.
