In this paper, we examine the existence of solutions of p-Laplacian fractional differential equations with instantaneous and non-instantaneous impulses. New criteria guaranteeing the existence of infinitely many solutions are established for the considered problem. The problem is reduced to an equivalent form such that the weak solutions of the problem are defined as the critical points of an energy functional. The main result of the present work is established by using a variational approach and a mountain pass lemma. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our main result.
