Positive Green's functions for some fractional-order boundary value problems

We use the newly introduced conformable fractional derivative, which is different from the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives, to reformulate several common boundary value problems, including those with conjugate, right-focal, and Lidstone conditions. With the fractional differential equation and fractional boundary conditions established, we find the corresponding Green’s functions and prove their positivity under appropriate assumptions.
