Analysis of a System of Nonlinear Hadamard Type Fractional Boundary Value Problems

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze the existence of positive solutions for a coupled system of Hadamard type fractional boundary value problems. By using the five functional fixed point theorem, the conditions for the existence of positive solutions are derived. Finally, to show the applicability of the main result, an illustrative example is also involved.

Keywords

• Fixed-point theorem
