Existence of solutions for a coupled system of nonlinear fractional differential equations at resonance (Q2075737)

In this paper, the authors study the following three-point boundary value problem at resonance for the coupled system of nonlinear fractional differential equations \[ \begin{cases} D^{\alpha}_{0^+}u(t)=f(t,v(t), D^{\gamma}_{0^+}v(t)),\quad 0<t<1,\\ D^{\beta}_{0^+}v(t)=g(t,u(t), D^{\delta}_{0^+}u(t)),\quad 0<t<1,\\ u(0)=u'(0)=0, u'(1)=\mu_1 u'(\xi_1),\\ v(0)=v'(0)=0, v'(1)=\mu_2 v'(\xi_2), \end{cases} \] where \(2<\alpha,\beta\leq 3,\) \(1<\gamma,\delta\leq 2\) and \(\alpha-\delta\geq 1,\) \(\beta-\gamma\geq 1,\) \(\mu_1, \mu_2>0,\) \(0<\xi_1, \xi_2<1,\) \(\mu_1\xi_1^{\alpha-2}=\mu_2\xi_2^{\beta-2}=1.\) \( D^{\phi}_{0^+},\) \(\phi\in\{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta\}\) are the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and \(f, g: [0,1]\times \mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}\) are given continuous functions. Existence results are obtained via coincidence degree theory. An example illustrating the main results is also presented.
