Smallest eigenvalues for boundary value problems of two term fractional differential operators depending on fractional boundary conditions

Paul W. Eloe, Jeffrey T. Neugebauer

Abstract:
Let n≥2 be an integer, and let n-1<α≤n. We consider eigenvalue problems for two point n-1 ,1 boundary value problems

where 0≤ β ≤n-1 and $D_{0+}^{\alpha}$ and $D_{0+}^{\beta}$ denote standard Riemann-Liouville differential operators. We prove the existence of smallest positive eigenvalues and then obtain comparisons of these smallest eigenvalues as functions of both p and β.
