Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a system of nonlinear fractional multi-point boundary value problems with \(p\)-Laplacian operator. (English) Zbl 07905121

Summary: In this paper, we deal with a coupled system of nonlinear fractional multi-point boundary value problems with \(p\)-Laplacian operator. The existence and multiplicity of positive solutions are obtained by employing Leray-Schauder alternative theory, Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem and Avery-Henderson fixed point theorem. As an application, two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our main results.
