Existence and boundary behaviour of positive solutions for a coupled fractional system (Q2084133)

Summary: We consider the following semilinear fractional system \[ \begin{cases} D^\alpha u = p(t) u^a v^r \text{in }(0, 1),\\ D^\beta v = q(t) u^s v^b \text{in }(0, 1), \\ \lim\limits_{t \to 0^+} t^{1 - \alpha} u(t) = \lim\limits_{t \to 0^+} t^{1 - \beta} v(t) = 0, \end{cases} \] where \(\alpha\), \(\beta \in (0,1)\), \(a\), \(b \in (-1, 1)\), \(r\), \(s \in \mathbb{R}\) such that \((1 -|a|)(1-|b|) - |rs| > 0\), \(D^\alpha\), \(D^\beta\) are the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives of orders \(\alpha\), \(\beta\) and the nonlinearities \(p\), \(q\) are positive measurable functions on \((0,1)\). Applying the Schäuder fixed point theorem, we establish the existence and the boundary behaviour of positive solutions in the space of weighted continuous functions.
