  Abstract:
 

We consider a cooperative system of equations involving the fractional Laplacian operator with zero Dirichlet external condition on a ball. We prove that nonnegative solutions of such problems, with semipositone nonlinearities, are positive and hence radially symmetric. We use the method of moving planes to establish our result.
