Abstract

In this article, we study the existence of solutions for a coupled system of higher order nonlinear fractional differential equations with non-local integralboundaryconditionbyusing Schaefer’sfixedpointtheoremandthe uniqueness result is proved by the contraction mapping principle. Finally, examples are provided to the applicability our main results.
