Abstract

In this article, by using the lower and upper solution method, we prove the existence of iterative solutions for a class of fractional initial value problem with non-monotone term Dα0+ u(t) = ƒ(t, u(t)), t ∈ (0, h), t1-α u(t)|t=0 = u0 ≠ 0, where 0 < h < +∞, ƒ ∈ C([0, h] x ℝ, ℝ), Dα0+ u(t) is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, 0 < α < 1. A new condition on the nonlinear term is given to guarantee the equivalence between the solution of the IVP and the fixed-point of the corresponding operator. Moreover, we show the existence of maximal and minimal solutions.
