EXISTENCE AND MULTIPLE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO SYSTEMS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF FRACTIONAL ORDER

Abstract

We show under some conditions the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a system of dierential equations of fractional order, subject to two-point boundary conditions by applying the xed point index theory in cones.

Keywords

• systems of dierential equations of fractional order,the xed point index theory,positive solutions,Greens' function,cone.
