Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to establish some results on the existence of positive solutions for a system of p-Laplacian fractional order boundary value problem. The main tool is a fixed point theorem of the cone expansion and compression of functional type due to Avery, Henderson and O’Regan. Some examples are also presented to illustrate the availability of the main results.
