Abstract

In this paper, the existence of positive solutions of a class of nonlinear fractional boundary value problems is considered. Two fixed point theorems are used,
namely: Banach Contraction mapping principle and Leggett-Williams fixed point theorems. The former is used to prove the existence of a unique solution, whereas the latter is used to prove the existence of at least three positive solutions to the problem. Some examples
are provided to illustrate the two results.
