Uniqueness of positive solutions for a class of fractional boundary value problems.
(English)
[J] Appl. Math. Lett. 25, No. 3, 590-593 (2012). ISSN 0893-9659

Summary: The work is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for the following fractional boundary value problem: $$\cases \bold D^\nu_0+u(t)+h(t)f(t,u(t))=0, \quad 0<t<1,n-1<\nu\leq n, &\\ u(0)=u'(0)=\cdots=u^{(n-2)}(0)=0, &\\ [\bold D^\alpha_{0+}u(t)]_{t=1}=0, \quad 1\leq \alpha \leq n-2, \endcases$$ where $n \in \Bbb N$ and $\bold D^\nu_0+$ is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order $\nu$. Our main results are formulated in terms of spectral radii of some related linear integral operators, and the nonlinearity $f$ is considered to grow only sublinearly.
