Abstract
We use the fixed point index theory of condensing mapping in cones discuss the existence of positive solutions for the following boundary value problem of fractional differential equations in a Banach space E
where both \(2<\beta \le 3\) and \(0<\rho <\beta \) are real numbers, \(J=[0,1]\), \(D^{\,\beta }_{0^{+}}\) is the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative, \(f : J\times K \rightarrow K\) is continuous, K is a normal cone in Banach space E, \(\theta \) is the zero element of E. Under more general conditions of growth and noncompactness measure about nonlinearity f, we obtain the existence of positive solutions.
