Abstract

In this paper, we study a coupled system of nonlinear fractional differential equations involving m nonlinear terms, m*. We begin by introducing a new Banach space. Then, we establish new existence and uniqueness results using the Banach contraction principle. We also prove an existence result using the Schaefer fixed point theorem. Finally, we give some illustrative examples.
