The existence of positive solutions for fractional differential equations with sign changing nonlinearities. (English) Zbl 1246.34008

Abstr. Appl. Anal. 2012, Article ID 180672, 13 p. (2012).
Summary: We investigate the existence of at least two positive solutions to eigenvalue problems of fractional differential equations with sign changing nonlinearities in more generalized boundary conditions. Our analysis relies on the Avery-Peterson fixed point theorem in a cone. Some examples are given for the illustration of main results.
