Abstract

This paper deals with the existence and numerical estimates of solutions for a class of fractional differential equations, while the nonlinear part of the problem admits some Special hypotheses. In particular, for a precise localization of the parameter, the existence of a non-zero solution is established requiring the sublinearity of nonlinear part at origin and infinity. Moreover, theoretical and numerical examples of applications are provided.
