Abstract.   The existence of positive solution for a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations are investigated by the method of upper and lower solutions and using Schauder and Banach fixed point theorems.

Keywords:  fractional differential equations; positive solution; upper and lower solutions; existence and uniqueness; Banach and Schauder fixed point theorems.
