We aim, in this work, to demonstrate the existence of minimal and maximal coupled quasi-solutions for nonlinear Caputo fractional differential systems with order q ∈ (1,2). Our approach is based on mixed monotone iterative techniques developed under the concept of lower and upper quasi-solutions. Our results extend those obtained for ordinary differential equations and fractional ones.
