# On a nonlinear mixed-order coupled fractional differential system with new integral boundary conditions

• Received: 12 December 2020 Accepted: 22 March 2021 Published: 26 March 2021
• MSC : 34A08, 34B15

• We present the criteria for the existence of solutions for a nonlinear mixed-order coupled fractional differential system equipped with a new set of integral boundary conditions on an arbitrary domain. The modern tools of the fixed point theory are employed to obtain the desired results, which are well-illustrated by numerical examples. A variant problem dealing with the case of nonlinearities depending on the cross-variables (unknown functions) is also briefly described.
