Abstract

In the present paper, we deal with the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the following impulsive fractional boundary value problem

$$\begin{aligned} {_{t}}D_{T}^{\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right) + a(t)|u(t)|^{p-2}u(t)= & {} f(t,u(t)),\;\;t\ne t_j,\;\;\hbox {a.e.}\;\;t\in [0,T],\\ \Delta \left( {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j)\right) \right)= & {} I_j(u(t_j))\;\;j=1,2,\ldots ,n,\\ u(0)= & {} u(T) = 0. \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha \in (1/p, 1]\), \(1<p<\infty \), \(0 = t_0<t_1< t_2< \cdots< t_n < t_{n+1} = T\), \(f:[0,T]\times \mathbb {R} \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) and \(I_j : \mathbb {R} \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), \(j = 1, \ldots , n\), are continuous functions, \(a\in C[0,T]\) and

$$\begin{aligned} \Delta \left( {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j)\right) \right)= & {} {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^+\right) \right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^+\right) \right) \\&- {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j^-)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^-\right) \right) ,\\ {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^+\right) \right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^+\right) \right)= & {} \lim _{t \rightarrow t_j^+} {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right) ,\\ {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j^-)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j^-)\right)= & {} \lim _{t\rightarrow t_j^-}{_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right) . \end{aligned}$$

By using variational methods and critical point theory, we give some criteria to guarantee that the above-mentioned impulsive problems have at least one weak solution and a sequences of weak solutions.
