Abstract
We study the existence of solutions for a system of nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equations with coupled boundary conditions involving Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals, by using the Schauder fixed point theorem and the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type. Two examples are given to support our main results.
