China Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract This paper is concerned with the existence of positive solutions for integral boundary value problems of Caputo fractional differential equations with p-laplacian operator. By means of the properties of the Green s function, Avery-Peterson fixed point theorems, we establish conditions ensuring the existence of positive solutions for the problem. As an application, an example is given to demonstrate the main result. Keywords: fractional differential equations; Caputo derivative; p-laplacian operator; integral boundary conditions; positive solutions 1 Introduction Recently, fractional differential equations have been proved to be valuable tools in the modeling of many phenomena in various fields of science and engineering, such as rheology, dynamical processes in self-similar and porous structures, heat conduction, control theory, electroanalytical chemistry, chemical physics, economics, etc. Many researchers have shown their interest in fractional differential equations. The motivation for this work stems from both the intensive development of the theory of fractional calculus itself and the applications. Many papers and books have appeared on fractional calculus and fractional differential equations see [1 1]. It is well known that the p-laplacian operator is also used in analyzing mechanics, physics, and dynamic systems, and the related fields of mathematical modeling. However, there are few studies of the existence of positive solution of fractional differential equations with the p-laplacian operator;see [11 18] and the references therein. In [11], Liu et al. studied the solvability of the Caputo fractional differential equation with boundary value conditions involving the p-laplacian operator. The existence and uniqueness of the problem is found by the Banach fixed point theorem. The problem is given in the following: ϕ p D α + xt = f t, xt, for t, 1, x = r x1, x = r 1 x 1, x j =, The Authors 217.

Advances in Difference Equations :36 Page 2 of 19 where i =2,3,...,[α] 1.Here,ϕ p is the p-laplacian operator and D α + is the Caputo fractional derivative, 1 < α R, and the nonlinear function f C[, 1] R, Risgiven. In [12], Lu et al. studied the existence of non-negative solutions of a nonlinear fractional boundary value problem with the p-laplacianoperator D β + ϕ pd α + ut = f t, ut, for < t <1, u = u = u 1 =, D α + u = Dα + u1 =, where 2 < α 3, 1 < β 3, and D α +, Dβ + are the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives. Green s functions, the Guo-Krasnoselskii theorem, and the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorems are used. Boundary value problems with integral boundary conditions for ordinary differential equations represent a very interesting and important class of problems. They include two-point, three-point and multi-point boundary value problems as special cases. For an overview of the literature on integral boundary value problems and symmetric solutions, see [19 26] and the references therein. In [24], Zhi et al. studied the existence of positive solutions for nonlocal boundary value problem of the fractional differential equations with p-laplacian operator. The problem is given in the following: ϕ p D α + ut = f t, ut, D β + ut, for < t <1, u = u =, u1 = gsus ds, ϕ p D α + u = λ 1 ϕ p D α + uξ 1, ϕ p D α + u1 = λ 2ϕ p D α + uξ 2, where < ξ 1 ξ 2 <1,2<α <3,1<β < α 1<2, λ 1, λ 2 <1.D α + is the Caputo fractional derivative of order α. In [26], Mahmudov and Unul studied the existence of the solutions of the fractional differential equation with p-laplacian operator and integral conditions is discussed. The problem is given in the following: D β + φ pd α + ut = f t, ut, Dγ + ut, 1 u + μ 1 u1 = σ 1 gs, us ds, u + μ 2 u 1 1 = σ 2 hs, us ds, D α + u =, D α + u1 = υdα + uη, where D α +, Dβ + are the Caputo fractional derivative operators with 1 < α <2,1<β <2.μ 1, σ i i = 1, 2 are non-negative constants. f, g, h are continuous functions. Motivated by the above work, we investigate the following integral boundary value problems for short, BVP of fractional differential equations with p-laplacian: D β + ϕ pd α + xt = f t, xt, Dβ + xt, t, 1 ϕ p D α + xi = ϕ p D α + x1 =, i =1,2,...,m 1, x1 = g 1sxs ds, x = g 2sxs ds, x j =, j =2,3,...,n 1, 1.1

Definition 2.3 see [4] Let E be a real Banach space. A nonempty, closed, and convex set P E is a cone if the following two conditions are satisfied: 1 if x P and μ,thenμx P; 2 if x P and x P,thenx =. Every cone P E induces the ordering in E given by x 1 x 2 if and only if x 2 x 1 P. Definition 2.4 see [4] The map γ is said to be a continuous non-negative convex concavefunctiononaconep of a real Banach space E provided that γ : P [, + is continuous and γ tx +1 ty tγ x+1 tγ y, x, y P, t [, 1].

Proof 1 From 2.3, it is easy to show that Ht, s is continuous on [, 1] [, 1] and obviously, Ht, s, for s t. For s t 1, we have 1 s β 1 t s β 1 =1 s β 1 1 t s β 1. 1 s By 2.3, we know Ht, s, t, s [, 1], and Ht, s>,t, s, 1. 2 For s t 1, we have Ht, s=1 s β 1 t s β 1 1 s β 1 = Hs, s and for s t, Ht, s=hs, s, so that Ht, s Hs, s, for all t, s [, 1]. 3 From 2.9, we know Gt, s=g 1 t, s+g 2 t, s. Firstly, from 2.1, similarly, we can obtain G 1 t, s, t, s [, 1], and G 1 t, s>,t, s, 1. On the other hand, from L, we know, for t, 1, g 1 t>tg 1 t>tg 2 t and 1> 1> g 1 s ds > g 1 s ds > sg 1 s ds > g 2 s ds > sg 2 s ds >, sg 2 s ds >. That implies 1>M 1 > M 2 > N 2 >, 1>M 1 > N 1 > N 2 > Therefore δ 1 =1 M 1 1 N 2 +N 1 1 M 2 >. From L andg 1 t, s, we know G 2 t, s t = δ N 1 g 1 τg 1 τ, s dτ +1 M 1 g 2 τg 1 τ, s dτ >, 2.27 which implies that G 2 t, s is a monotone increasing function with respect to t [, 1]. So, from 2.11, we have G 2 t, s G 2, s=δ P = δ 1 N 2 g 1 τg 1 τ, s dτ + Q g 2 τg 1 τ, s dτ g 1 τg 1 τ, s dτ +M 2 1 g 2 τg 1 τ, s dτ

12 Zhangetal.Advances in Difference Equations :36 Page 12 of 19 3 Main results In this section we deduce the existence of positive solutions to BVP 1.1 by using the wellknown Avery-Peterson fixed point theorem; see [4]. Let γ and θ be non-negative continuous convex functionals on P, ϕ be a non-negative continuous concave functional on P,andψ be a non-negative continuous functional on P. For a, b, c, d >, we define the following convex set: Pγ ; d= { x P : γ x<d }, Pγ, ϕ; b, d= { x P : b ϕx, γ x d }, Pγ, θ, ϕ; b, c, d= { x P : b ϕx, θx c, γ x d }, and a closed set Pγ, ψ; a, d= { x P : a ψx, γ x d }. Lemma 3.1 see [4] Let P be a cone in a real Banach space E. Let γ and θ be non-negative continuous convex functionals on P, ϕ be a non-negative continuous concave functional on P, and ψ be a non-negative continuous functional on P satisfying ψλx λψx for λ 1, such that, for some positive numbers M and d, ϕx ψx, x Mγ x 3.1 for all x Pγ ; d. Suppose T : Pγ ; d Pγ ; d is completely continuous and there exist positive numbers a, b, and c with a < bsuchthat H1 {x Pγ, θ, ϕ; b, c, d:ϕx>b} Ø, and ϕx>b for x Pγ, θ, ϕ; b, c, d; H2 ϕtx>b for x Pγ, ϕ; b, d with θtx>c; H3 / Pγ, ψ; a, d and ψtx<a for x Pγ, ψ; a, d with ψx=a. Then T has at least three fixed point x 1, x 2, x 3 Pγ ; d such that γ x i d, i =1,2,3; ϕx 1 >b, a < ϕx 2, ψx 2 <b; ψx 3 <a. Let E = {x C[, 1] : D β + x C[, 1], x = g 2sxs ds, x j =, j =2,3,...,m 1} be endowed with the norm { x = max max xt, max D β + xt }, t [,1] then E is a Banach space. We define a set P E by t [,1] { } P = x E : xt, D β + xt, min xt ρ max xt. t [,1]

Then we have the following conclusion. Lemma 3.2 Assume L holds, then T : P P is a completely continuous operator.

Since Gt, s is continuous on [, 1] [, 1], it is uniformly continuous on [, 1] [, 1]. Thus, for any ɛ >, there exists a constant δ 1 >,suchthat Gt1, s Gt 2, s < ɛ ϕ q M ϕ q Hs, τ dτ ds for t 1, t 2 [, 1] with t 1, t 2 < δ 1.

Hence, T is equicontinuous. AccordingtotheArzelà-Ascolitheorem,T is a completely continuous operator. The proof is completed. Denote the positive constants J 1 = J 2 = Hs, τ dτ ds, 1 s α β 1 ϕ q Hs, τ dτ ds, G1 s, s+g 2 1, s ϕ q 1 Ɣα β and J 3 = G1 s, s+g 2 1, s ϕ q η Hs, τ dτ ds. Define the functionals as follows: γ x= x, θx=ψx= max xt, t [,1] ϕx=min xt, then γ and θ are continuous non-negative convex functionals, ϕ is a continuous nonnegative concave functional, ψ is a continuous non-negative functional, and ρθx ϕx θx=ψx, x Mγ x, where M = 1. Therefore, condition 3.1 in Lemma 3.1 is satisfied.
16 Zhangetal.Advances in Difference Equations :36 Page 16 of 19 Theorem 3.1 Suppose L holds, and there exist constants <a, b, dwitha< b < ρd min{ J 3 J1, J 3 J2 } and c = b, such that ρ L 1 f t, x, y min{ϕ p d J 1, ϕ p d J 2 }, t, x, y [, 1] [, d] [ d,]; L 2 f t, x, y>ϕ p b ρj 3, t, x, y [, η] [b, b ρ ] [ d,]; L 3 f t, x, y<ϕ p a J 1, t, x, y [, 1] [, a] [ d,]. Then BVP 1.1 has at least three positive solutions x 1, x 2, x 3, satisfying x i d i =1,2,3, 3.2 min x1 t > b, a < minx2 t, max x2 t < b, max x3 t < a. 3.3 t [,1] t [,1] Proof It is clear that the fixed points of operator T are equivalent the solutions of BVP 1.1. For x Pγ ; d, we have γ x= x d, this implies max xt d, t [,1] max D β + xt d, t [,1] then xt d, d D β + xt.

Let xt= b ρ, xt Pγ, θ, ϕ; b, c, dandϕ b >b, which implies that ρ { } x Pγ, θ, ϕ; b, c, d:ϕx>b. For x Pγ, θ, ϕ; b, c, d, we know that b xt c = b ρ for t I η and d D β + xt.

Hence, the condition H1 of Lemma 3.1 is satisfied. By 3.2, for all x Pγ, ϕ; b, dwithθtx>c = b ρ,wehave ϕtx ρθtx>ρc = ρ b ρ = b. Thus, the condition H2 of Lemma 3.1 holds. Because of ψ = < a, then/ Pγ, ψ; a, d. For x Pγ, ψ; a, d withψx =a, we know γ x d.itmeansthatmax t [,1] xt=a and d D β + xt.

18 Zhangetal.Advances in Difference Equations :36 Page 18 of 19 To sum up, the conditions of Lemma 3.1 are all verified. Hence, BVP 1.1 has at least three positive solutions x 1, x 2, x 3 satisfying 3.2and3.3. The proof is completed. 4 Example In this section, we present an example to illustrate the main result. Consider the following boundary value problems: 4 D ϕ 3 D xt = f t, xt, D 5 + xt, t, 1, 2 ϕ 3 D x 2 = ϕ 3 D x1 =, x1 = sxs ds, x = s2 xs ds, x =, 4.1 where α = 5 2, β = 5 4, p = 3 2, g 1t=t, g 2 t=t 2,and f t, x, y= { tan.6t+.1e x/5 x 2 + siny, x 18, tan.6t+siny+92, 18<x 5,. 4.2 Choose a =8,b =18,d = 5,, η = 1. By a simple computation, we have 3 ρ 1 = 1 2, ρ 2 = 1 13, ρ = 1 13, r =1, M 1 = 1 2, M 2 = 1 3, N 1 = 1 3, N 2 = 1 4, δ = 72 43, J 1 =.26227, J 2 = , J 3 = We can check that the nonlinear term f t, x, ysatisfies L 1 f t, x, y min{ϕ p d J 1, ϕ p d J 2 } , t, x, y [, 1] [, 5,] [ 5,,]; L 2 f t, x, y>ϕ p b ρj , t, x, y [, 1 ] [18, 234] [ 5,,]; 3 L 3 f t, x, y<ϕ p a J , t, x, y [, 1] [, 8] [ 5,,]. Then all assumptions of Theorem 3.1 are satisfied. Thus, BVP 4.1 hasat leastthree positive solutions x 1, x 2, x 3,satisfying x i 5, i =1,2,3, 4.3 min x 1 >18, 8<min x 2, max x 2 <18, t [,1] max x 3 < t [,1] Competing interests The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
