Abstract
In this paper, we consider the existence of extremal solutions for a type of fractional compartment models. By use of a new comparison result, some new sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions are established by combining the monotone iterative technique and the methods of lower and upper solutions. Finally, an example is presented to illustrate the validity of our main results.
