Multiple positive solutions for nonlinear boundary value problem of fractional order differential equation with the Riemann-Liouville derivative. (English) Zbl 1353.34011

Summary: By means of the Avery-Peterson fixed point theorem, we establish the existence of a multiple positive solution of the boundary value problem for a nonlinear differential equation with Riemann-Liouville fractional order derivative. An example illustrating our main result is given. Our results complement previous work in the area of boundary value problems of nonlinear fractional differential equations [C. S. Goodrich, Appl. Math. Lett. 23, No. 9, 1050–1055 (2010; Zbl 1204.34007)].
