Abstract

Using the iterative method, this paper investigates the existence of a unique solution to systems of nonlinear fractional differential equations, which involve the right-handed Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives DqTx and DqTy. Systems of linear fractional differential equations are also discussed. Two examples are added to illustrate the results.
