“…), FDE serve as an excellent instrument for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials and processes. During the last few decades, much attention has been paid to the study of boundary value problems (BVP for short) of fractional differential equation, such as the nonlocal BVP [1,3,7,13,18], singular BVP [6,8,11,19,20,25], semipositone BVP [14][15][16]23], resonant BVP [2,12], and impulsive BVP [10,27]. Since only positive solutions are meaningful in most practical problems, some work has been done to study the existence of positive solutions for fractional boundary value problems by using the techniques of nonlinear analysis.…”
