Abstract

We discuss the existence and uniqueness of positive solution for a fractional boundary value problem by the help of some fixed point theorems and using the method of upper and lower solutions. An example is also given to illustrat the obtained results.

Keywords

Fractional boundary value problem, positivity of solution, fixed point theorem
