Application of Fixed-Point Theory for a Nonlinear Fractional Three-Point Boundary-Value Problem
Throughout this paper, via the Schauder fixed-point theorem, a generalization of Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorem in a cone, as well as some inequalities relevant to Green’s function, we study the existence of positive solutions of a nonlinear, fractional three-point boundary-value problem with a term of the first order derivative ( a C D α x ) ( t ) = f ( t , x ( t ) , x ′ ( t ) ) , a < t < b , 1 < α < 2 , x ( a ) = 0 , x ( b ) = μ x ( η ) , a < η < b , μ > λ , where λ = b − a η − a and a C D α denotes the Caputo’s fractional derivative, and f : [ a , b ] × R × R → R is a continuous function satisfying the certain conditions.
