Abstract:
We consider a system of boundary value problems for fractional differential equation given by D-0+(beta)phi(p)(d(0+)(alpha)u)(t) = lambda(1)a(1)(t)f(1)(u(t), v(t)), t is an element of (0, 1), D-0+(beta)phi(P)(D(0+)(alpha)v)(t) - lambda(2)a(2)(t)f(2)(u(t), v(t)), t is an element of (0, 1), where 1 < alpha, beta <= 2, 2 < alpha + beta <= 4, lambda(1), lambda(2) are eigenvalues, subject either to the boundary conditions D(0+)(alpha)u(0) = D(0+)(alpha)u(1) = 0, u(0) = 0, D(0+)(alpha)u(1) - Sigma(m-2)(i=1)a(1i) D(0+)(beta 1)u(xi(1i)) = 0, D(0+)(alpha)v(0) = D(0+)(alpha)v(1) =0, v(0) = 0, D(0+)(beta 1)v(1) - Sigma(m-2)(i=1)a(2i)D(0+)(beta 1)v(xi(2i)) = 0 or D(0+)(alpha)u(0) = D(0+)(alpha)u(1) = 0, u(0) = 0, D(0+)(beta 1)u(1) - Sigma(m-2)(i=1)a(1i)D(0+)(beta 1)u(xi(1i)) = psi(1)(u), D(0+)(alpha)v(0) = D(0+)(alpha)v(1) = 0, v(0) = 0, D(0+)(beta 1)v(1) - Sigma(m-2)(i=1)a(2i) D(0+)(beta 1)v(xi(2i)) = psi(2)(v) where 0 < beta(1) < 1, alpha - beta(1) - 1 > 0 and psi(1), psi(2) : C([0, 1]) -> [0, infinity) are continuous functions. The Krasnoselskiis fixed point theorem is applied to prove the existence of at least one positive solution for both fractional boundary value problems. As an application, an example is given to demonstrate some of main results.
