In this work, it is proved the existence of at least three weak solutions can be obtained for a new class of nonlinear fractional boundary value systems by using variational methods combined with a critical point theory due to Bonano and Marano while two examples in $% %TCIMACRO{\U{211d} }% %BeginExpansion \mathbb{R} %EndExpansion ^{3}$ and $% %TCIMACRO{\U{211d} }% %BeginExpansion \mathbb{R} %EndExpansion ^{4}$ are given to illustrate our main results applications.References
