Positive solutions depending on parameters for a nonlinear fractional system with \(p\)-Laplacian operators (Q2246146)

Summary: This paper considers a system of fractional differential equations involving \(p\)-Laplacian operators and two parameters \[ \begin{cases} D_{0^+}^{\alpha_1} (\varphi_{p_1} (D_{0^+}^{\beta_1} u(t))) + \lambda f(t, u (t), \;v(t)) = 0,\, 0 < t < 1, \\ D_{0^+}^{\alpha_2} (\varphi_{p_2} (D_{0^+}^{\beta_2} v(t))) + \mu g(t , u(t),\; v(t)) = 0, \,0 < t < 1, \\ u (0) = u(1) = u^\prime(0) = u^\prime(1) = 0, \;D_{0^+}^{\beta_1} u (0) = 0, \;D_{0^+}^{\beta_1} u(1) = b_1 D_{0^+}^{\beta_1} u(\eta_1), \\ v(0) = v(1) = v^\prime(0) = v^\prime(1) = 0, \;D_{0^+}^{\beta_2} v(0) = 0, \;D_{0^+}^{\beta_2} v(1) = b_2 D_{0^+}^{\beta_2} v(\eta_2), \end{cases} \] where \(\alpha_i\in(1, 2]\), \(\beta_i\in( 3 , 4]\), \(D_{0^+}^{\alpha_i}\) and \(D_{0^+}^{\beta_i}\) are the standard Riemann-Liouville derivatives, \(\varphi_{p_i}(s)= |s|^{p_i-2}s\), \(p_i>1\), \(\varphi_{p_i}^{-1}= \varphi_{q_i}\), \((1/p_i)+(1/q_i)=1\), \(\eta_i\in(0, 1)\), \(b_i\in(0, \eta_i^{( 1 - \alpha_i)/(p_i - 1)})\), \(i=1,2\), and \(f,g\in C([0, 1] \times [0, +\infty) \times [0, +\infty), [0, +\infty))\) and \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) are two positive parameters. We obtain the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions depending on parameters for the system by utilizing a recent fixed point theorem. Furthermore, an example is present to illustrate our main result.
