A generalized Lyapunov's inequality for a fractional boundary value problem

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2016-10-19 v2

Abstract

We prove existence of positive solutions to a nonlinear fractional boundary value problem. Then, under some mild assumptions on the nonlinear term, we obtain a smart generalization of Lyapunov's inequality. The new results are illustrated through examples.
