Abstract
We consider the following semilinear fractional initial value problem
D alpha u(x) = a(x)u(sigma) (x), x is an element of (0, 1) and lim(x -> 0) x(1-alpha)u(x) = 0,
where and a is a positive measurable function on (0, 1). We establish the existence and the uniqueness of a positive solution in the space of weighted continuous functions. We also give the boundary behavior of such solution.
