Abstract We present here a new type of three-point nonlinear fractional
boundary value problem of arbitrary order of the form
\begin{align*}
&^{c}D^{q}u(t) = f(t,u(t)),\ \ t \in [0,1],\\
&u(\eta) = u^{\prime}(0)= u^{\prime\prime}(0) = \dots = u^{n-2}(0)
= 0,\ I^{p}u(1) = 0,\ \ \ \ 0 < \eta < 1,
\end{align*}
where $n-1 < q \leq n$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $n \geq 3$ and
$^{c}D^{q}$ denotes the Caputo fractional derivative of order $q$,
$I^{p}$ is the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order $p$,
$f : [0,1] \times \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a
continuous function and $\eta^{n-1} \neq
\frac{\Gamma(n)}{(p+n-1)(p+n-2)\dots(p+1)}$. We give new existence
and uniqueness results using Banach contraction principle,
Krasnoselskii, Scheafer's fixed point theorem and Leray-Schauder
degree theory. To justify the results, we give some illustrative
examples.
