description In this paper, we investigate the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for a system of Riemann–Liouville fractional differential equations with <i>r</i>-Laplacian operators, subject to nonlocal uncoupled boundary conditions that contain Riemann–Stieltjes integrals, various fractional derivatives and positive parameters. We first change the unknown functions such that the new boundary conditions have no positive parameters, and then, by using the corresponding Green functions, we equivalently write this new problem as a system of nonlinear integral equations. By constructing an appropriate operator <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="script">A</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>, the solutions of the integral system are the fixed points of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="script">A</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>. Following some assumptions regarding the nonlinearities of the system, we show (by applying the Schauder fixed-point theorem) that operator <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="script">A</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> has at least one fixed point, which is a positive solution of our problem, when the positive parameters belong to some intervals. Then, we present intervals for the parameters for which our problem has no positive solution.
