In this paper, we consider the existence of positive solution for four‐point nonlocal boundary value problems of fractional order. By means of some fixed point theorems, some results on the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions are obtained. Furthermore, we provide a representative example to illustrate a possible application of the established results. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
