Abstract

In this paper, we consider a coupled system of nonlinear fractional differential equations (FDEs), such that both equations have a particular perturbed terms. Using emph{Leray-Schauder} fixed point theorem, we investigate the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for this system.
