Existence of Positive Solutions to the Singular Initial Value Problems of Fractional Differential Equations

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we consider the existence of positive solutions for the initial value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equations where and is the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. By using the Nonlinear Alternative of Leray and Schauder theorem, some sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one positive solution for the initial value problem are established.
