Positive solutions for mixed problems of singular fractional differential equations

We investigate the existence of positive solutions to the singular fractional boundary value problem: , u′(0) = 0, u(1) = 0, where 1 < α < 2, 0 < μ < 1, f is a Lq-Caratheodory function, , and f(t, x, y, z) may be singular at the value 0 of its space variables x, y, z. Here stands for the Caputo fractional derivative. The results are based on combining regularization and sequential techniques with a fixed point theorem on cones.
