Existence of positive solutions for two-point boundary value problems of nonlinear fractional q-difference equation

Abstract This paper is concerned with the two-point boundary value problems of a nonlinear fractional q-difference equation with dependence on the first order q-derivative. We discuss some new properties of the Green function by using q-difference calculus. Furthermore, by means of Schauder’s fixed point theorem and an extension of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem in a cone, the existence of one positive solution and of at least one positive solution for the boundary value problem is established.
