Abstract

This paper is concerned with the existence of positive solutions for three point boundary value problems of Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations with p-Laplacian operator. By means of the properties of the Green’s function and Avery-Peterson fixed point theorem, we establish a condition ensuring the existence of at least three positive solutions for the problem.
