Published: 15 February 2012Abstract
In this article, the author investigates the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for boundary value problem of fractional differential equation with p-Laplacian operator
where 
and 
are the standard Riemann-Liouville derivatives with 1 < α ≤ 2, 0 < β ≤ 1, 0 < γ ≤ 1, 0 ≤ α - γ - 1, the constant σ is a positive number and p-Laplacian operator is defined as φp(s) = |s|p-2s, p > 1. By means of the fixed point theorem on cones, some existence and multiplicity
results of positive solutions are obtained.
