Degree theory and existence of positive solutions to coupled systems of multi-point boundary value problems (Q257319)

The authors consider coupled systems of multi-point boundary value problems for fractional order differential equations. The order is taken between one and two. The main aim is to prove the existence of positive periodic solution. To achieve the goal, the topological degree theory is used, which is a famous method to establish the existence of periodic solution for non-autonomous differential equations. An example is given to illustrate the analytical findings.
