This paper investigates the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of higher-order nonlinear fractional differential equations with integral boundary conditions. The results are established by converting the problem into an equivalent integral equation and applying Krasnoselskii s fixed-point theorem in cones. The nonexistence of positive solutions is also studied. 1. Introduction Fractional differential equations arise in many engineering and scientific disciplines as the mathematical modelling of systems and processes in the fields of physics chemistry aerodynamics electrodynamics of complex medium polymer rheology Bode s analysis of feedback amplifiers capacitor theory electrical circuits electron-analytical chemistry biology control theory fitting of experimental data and so forth and involves derivatives of fractional order. Fractional derivatives provide an excellent tool for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials and .
