Existence Results for a Coupled System of Nonlinear Fractional Hybrid Differential Equations with Homogeneous Boundary Conditions
Abstract
We study an existence result for the following coupled system of nonlinear fractional hybrid differential equations with homogeneous boundary conditions D0+α[x(t)/f(t,x(t),y(t))]=g(t,x(t),y(t)),D0+αy(t)/f(t,y(t),x(t))=g(t,y(t),x(t)), 0<t<1, and x(0)=y(0)=0, where α∈(0,1) and D0+α denotes the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. The main tools in our study are the techniques associated to measures of noncompactness in the Banach algebras and a fixed point theorem of Darbo type.
