Abstract
In this paper, we present some new results concerning positive solutions for the singular fractional boundary value problem with p-Laplacian. By imposing some suitable conditions on the nonlinear term f, existence results of positive solutions are obtained. The proof is based upon theory of Leray–Schauder degree. The interesting point is the nonlinear term f(t, u) may be singular at \(u=0\).
