Abstract

In this paper, we establish the existence of solutions for the conformable fractional dynamic equations on time scales, with nonlinear functional boundary value conditions. We first obtain the exact expression of the fractional Green’s function related to the linear conformable fractional dynamic problem and then we study the nonlinear functional boundary problems, by means of the upper and lower solutions method together with Schauder’s fixed-point theorem.
