Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the following system of nonlinear singular boundary value problems(BVPs) on time scale $\mathbb{T}$ $$\{{{{{{x^{\bigtriangleup\bigtriangleup}(t)+f(t,\;y(t))=0,\;t{\in}(a,\;b)_{\mathbb{T}},}\atop{y^{\bigtriangleup\bigtriangleup}(t)+g(t,\;x(t))=0,\;t{\in}(a,\;b)_{\mathbb{T}},}}\atop{\alpha_1x(a)-\beta_1x^{\bigtriangleup}(a)=\gamma_1x(\sigma(b))+\delta_1x^{\bigtriangleup}(\sigma(b))=0,}}\atop{\alpha_2y(a)-\beta_2y^{\bigtriangleup}(a)=\gamma_2y(\sigma(b))+\delta_2y^{\bigtriangleup}(\sigma(b))=0,}}$$ where $\alpha_i$, $\beta_i$, $\gamma_i\;{\geq}\;0$ and $\rho_i=\alpha_i\gamma_i(\sigma(b)-a)+\alpha_i\delta_i+\gamma_i\beta_i$ > 0(i = 1, 2), f(t, y) may be singular at t = a, y = 0, and g(t, x) may be singular at t = a. The arguments are based upon a fixed-point theorem for mappings that are decreasing with respect to a cone. We also obtain the analogous existence results for the related nonlinear systems $x^{\bigtriangledown\bigtriangledown}(t)$ + f(t, y(t)) = 0, $y^{\bigtriangledown\bigtriangledown}(t)$ + g(t, x(t)) = 0, $x^{\bigtriangleup\bigtriangledown}(t)$ + f(t, y(t)) = 0, $y^{\bigtriangleup\bigtriangledown}(t)$ + g(t, x(t)) = 0, and $x^{\bigtriangledown\bigtriangleup}(t)$ + f(t, y(t)) = 0, $y^{\bigtriangledown\bigtriangleup}(t)$ + g(t, x(t)) = 0 satisfying similar boundary conditions.
