A Study on Positive Solutions to Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (1)
- Our purpose in this paper is to give some existence results for positive solution to the problem (1).
- (2)
- The sublinear growth of the nonlinearity f are described by inequality conditions instead of the usual upper and lower limits conditions.
- (3)
- Our discussion is based on the fixed point index theory in cones. Some of our ideas are inspired by the give ones in the recent paper [13].
- (4)
- We use the inequality conditions to describe the growth of the nonlinearity f. Our inequality conditions are weaker than the usual conditions described by the upper and lower limits. Moreover, our conditions are easy to verify for some nonlinear terms.
