Abstract
In this article, we investigate the existence and multiplicity of concave positive solutions for a boundary value problem for two-sided fractional differential equations involving the Caputo derivative. By means of the Leggett–Williams fixed point theorem, we obtain the existence of at least three solutions. Some illustrative examples are given in the last section.
