Abstract: In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions of boundary value problems for systems of second-order differential equations with integral boundary condition on the half-line. By using the fixed-point theorem in cones, we show the existence of at least one positive solution with suitable growth conditions imposed on the nonlinear terms. Moreover, the associated integral kernels for the boundary value problems are given.
