Positive solutions of a system for nonlinear singular higher-order fractional differential equations with fractional multi-point boundary conditions. (English) Zbl 1342.34017

Summary: This paper deals with the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a system of nonlinear singular higher-order fractional differential equations with fractional multi-point boundary conditions. The main tool used in the proof is fixed point index theory. Some limit type conditions for ensuring the existence of positive solutions are given, and our conditions are suitable for more general functions.
