A coupled system of nonlinear fractional differential equations with multipoint fractional boundary conditions on an unbounded domain. (English) Zbl 1242.34010

Summary: This paper investigates the existence of solutions for a coupled system of nonlinear fractional differential equations with \(m\)-point fractional boundary conditions on an unbounded domain. Some standard fixed point theorems are applied to obtain the main results. The paper concludes with two illustrative examples.
