Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the existence of solutions to a boundary value problem associated to a nonlinear fractional differential equation where the nonlinear term depends on a fractional derivative of lower order posed on the half-line. An appropriate compactness criterion and suitable Banach spaces are used and so a fixed point theorem is applied to obtain fixed points which are solutions of our problem.

Keywords
