Abstract
We study the existence of positive solutions for the system of nonlinear semipositone boundary value problems with RiemannLiouville fractional derivatives D(0+)(alpha)D(0+)(alpha)u = f(1)(t,u,u',v,v'), 0 < t < 1, D(0+)(alpha)D(0+)(alpha)v = f(2)(t,u,u',v,v'), 0 < t < 1, u(0) = u'(0) = u'(1) = D(0+)(alpha)u = D(0+)(alpha+1)u(0) = D(0+)(alpha+1)u(1) = 0, and v(0) = v'(0) = v'(1) = D(0+)(alpha+1)v(0) = D(0+)(alpha+1)v(1) = 0, where alpha is an element of (2,3] is a real number and D-0+(alpha) is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order alpha. Under some appropriate conditions for semipositone nonlinearities, we use the fixed point index to establish two existence theorems. Moreover, nonnegative concave and convex functions are used to depict the coupling behavior of our nonlinearities.
