Abstract

By using fixed-point theorem and under suitable conditions, we investigate the existence and multiplicity positive solutions to the following systems: 𝑒 ξ…ž ξ…ž ( 𝑑 ) + π‘Ž 𝑒 ( 𝑑 ) + 𝑏 𝑣 ( 𝑑 ) + πœ† β„Ž 1 ( 𝑑 ) 𝑓 ( 𝑒 ( 𝑑 ) , 𝑣 ( 𝑑 ) ) = 0 , 𝑑 ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] , 𝑣 ξ…ž ξ…ž ( 𝑑 ) + 𝑐 𝑒 ( 𝑑 ) + 𝑑 𝑣 ( 𝑑 ) + πœ‡ β„Ž 2 ( 𝑑 ) 𝑔 ( 𝑒 ( 𝑑 ) , 𝑣 ( 𝑑 ) ) = 0 , 𝑑 ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] , 𝑒 ( 0 ) = 𝑒 ( 1 ) = 0 , 𝑣 ( 0 ) = 𝑣 ( 1 ) = 0 , where π‘Ž , 𝑏 , 𝑐 , 𝑑 are four positive constants and πœ† > 0 , πœ‡ > 0 , 𝑓 ( 𝑒 , 𝑣 ) , 𝑔 ( 𝑒 , 𝑣 ) ∈ 𝐢 ( 𝑅 + Γ— 𝑅 + , 𝑅 + ) and β„Ž 1 , β„Ž 2 ∈ 𝐢 ( [ 0 , 1 ] , 𝑅 + ) . We derive two explicit intervals of πœ† and πœ‡ , such that the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the systems is guaranteed.
