Multiple positive solutions for singular higher-order semipositone fractional differential equations with p-Laplacian

Abstract

In this article, together with Leggett–Williams and Guo–Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorems, height functions on special bounded sets are constructed to obtain the existence of at least three positive solutions for some higher-order fractional differential equations with p-Laplacian. The nonlinearity permits singularities both on the time and the space variables, and it also may change its sign.
