Abstract

This paper focuses on the multiple positive solutions for a coupled system of nonlinear boundary value problems of fractional order. Our approach is based on a fixed point theorem due to Bai and Ge. Also, an example is given to demonstrate the applicability of our main result.

Keywords

multiple positive solution, fractional differential equation, fixed point theorem
