On a fractional-order p-Laplacian boundary value problem at resonance on the half-line with two dimensional kernel

Abstract In this work, we consider the solvability of a fractional-order p-Laplacian boundary value problem on the half-line where the fractional differential operator is nonlinear and has a kernel dimension equal to two. Due to the nonlinearity of the fractional differential operator, the Ge and Ren extension of Mawhin’s coincidence degree theory is applied to obtain existence results for the boundary value problem at resonance. Two examples are used to validate the established results.
