Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution for a p-Laplacian differential equation containing left and right Caputo derivatives. By the help of the Guo–Krasnoselskii theorem, we prove the existence of at least one positive solution. The existence of a unique positive solution is established under the assumption that the corresponding operator is α-concave and increasing. Numerical examples are given to check the obtained results.
