EXISTENCE RESULTS FOR FRACTIONAL BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM VIA CRITICAL POINT THEORY

Abstract

In this paper, by the critical point theory, the boundary value problem is discussed for a fractional differential equation containing the left and right fractional derivative operators, and various criteria on the existence of solutions are obtained. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time, the existence of solutions to the fractional boundary value problem is dealt with by using critical point theory.
