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.
