The Existence of Solutions to a Class of Multi-point Boundary Value Problem of Fractional Differential Equation

Abstract:

      In this paper, we consider the following multi-point boundary value problem of fractional differential equation $$\align &D^{\alpha}_{0+}u(t) = f(t, u(t),~D^{\alpha-1}_{0+}u(t), D^{\alpha-2}_{0+}u(t), D^{\alpha-3}_{0+}u(t)),~~t\in(0,1), \\&I^{4-\alpha}_{0+}u(0) = 0, ~D^{\alpha-1}_{0+}u(0)=\displaystyle{\sum_{i=1}^{m}}\alpha_{i}D^{\alpha-1}_{0+}u(\xi_{i}),\\&D^{\alpha-2}_{0+}u(1)=\sum\limits_ {j=1}^{n}\beta_{j} D^{\alpha-2}_{0+}u(\eta_{j}),~D^{\alpha-3}_{0+}u(1)-D^{\alpha-3}_{0+}u(0)=D^{\alpha-2}_{0+}u(\frac{1}{2}),\endalign$$ where $3<\alpha \leq 4$ is a real number. By applying Mawhin coincidence degree theory and constructing suitable operators, some existence results of solutions can be established.
