Abstract
In this paper, we consider a class of integral boundary value problems of fractional p-Laplacian equation, which involve both Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative and Caputo fractional derivative. By using the generalization of Leggett–Williams fixed point theorem, some new results on the existence of at least three positive solutions to the boundary value problems are obtained. Finally, some examples are presented to illustrate the extensive potential applications of our main results.
