Abstract. This paper studies existence and uniqueness of solutions for system of fractional differential equations involving Caputo derivative with anti periodic boundary conditions of order a Î (0.3). We obtain the result by using Banach fixed point theorem.

 Keywords. Caputo fractional derivative, fractional differential equations, anti-periodic boundary conditions, Banach fixed point theorem.

 1 Introduction

 In recent years the subject of fractional calculus gained much momentum and attracted many researchers and mathematicians. Considerable interest in field of fractional calculus has been developed by the applications to different areas of applied science and engineering like physics, biophysics, aerodynamics, control theory, visco-elasticity, capacitor theory, electrical circuit, description of memory and hereditary properties etc.

Anti periodic boundary value problems constitute an important class of boundary value problems and have recently received considerable attention. Anti periodic boundary conditions occur in mathematical modeling of many physical processes, see [6] – [10] and references therein.

The Banach fixed point theorems is used [11] to investigate existence and uniqueness of for integro differential equations of fractional order a Î(1,2) with antiperiodic boundary conditions. In [7] the author investigated existence problem of anti periodic boundary value problem to fractional differential equation for    a Î (2,3) by using Banach fixed point. Motivated by these works we study in this paper the existence of solution to fractional differential equation when a Î (0,3] with anti periodic boundary conditions.
