In this paper, we consider a class of boundary value problems of nonlinear fractional differential equation with integral boundary conditions. By applying the monotone iterative method and some inequalities associated with Green’s function, we obtain the existence of minimal and maximal positive solutions and establish two iterative sequences for approximating the solutions to the above problem. It is worth mentioning that these iterative sequences start off with zero function or linear function, which is useful and feasible for computational purpose. An example is also included to illustrate the main result of this paper.
