In this paper, positive solutions of fractional differential equations with nonlinear terms depending on lower-order derivatives on a half-line are investigated. The positive extremal solutions and iterative schemes for approximating them are obtained by applying a monotone iterative method. An example is presented to illustrate the main results.
