Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions for a class of higher-order nonlinear fractional differential equations with integral boundary conditions and a parameter. By using the properties of the Green’s function, u 0-positive function and the fixed point index theory, we obtain some existence results of positive solution under some conditions concerning the first eigenvalue with respect to the relevant linear operator. The method of this paper is a unified method for establishing the existence of multiple positive solutions for a large number of nonlinear differential equations of arbitrary order with any allowed number of non-local boundary conditions.
