Summary

Introduction

We consider the four-point coupled boundary value problem for nonlinear fractional differential equation involving the Riemann-Liouville’s derivative λf (t, u, v) u(i)(0) = v(i)(0) = 0, 0 ≤ i ≤ n − 2, u(1) = av(ξ), v(1) = bu(η), ξ, η ∈ (0, 1). Coupled boundary conditions arise in the study of reaction-diffusion equations and Sturm-Liouvillie problems, see [21, 22] and have wide applications in various fields of sciences and engineering, for example the heat equation [23, 24, 25] and mathematical biology [26, 27]. In [26], the authors study the blow-up properties of the positive solutions to the system of heat equations with nonlinear boundary conditions uit = △ui, i = l, · · · , k, uk+l := ul,. Our analysis relies on a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type and Krasnosel’skii’s fixed-point theorems
