It is widely used in differential equations to describe physical phenomena, population dynamics, and biological genetic memory problems. In this article, we mainly study the 4m+2-point symmetric integral boundary value problem of nonlinear (k,\u03c8)-fractional differential coupled Laplacian equations. The existence and uniqueness of solutions are obtained by the Krasnosel\u2019skii fixed-point theorem and Banach\u2019s contraction mapping principle. Furthermore, we also apply the calculus inequality techniques to discuss the stability of this system. Finally, three interesting examples and numerical simulations are given to further verify the correctness and effectiveness of the conclusions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17030472","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,21]],"date-time":"2025-03-21T07:25:00Z","timestamp":1742541900000},"page":"472","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Study of Stability and Simulation for Nonlinear (k, \u03c8)-Fractional Differential Coupled Laplacian Equations with Multi-Point Mixed (k, \u03c8)-Derivative and Symmetric Integral Boundary Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4248-1442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaojun","family":"Lv","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Technology College, Soochow University, Suzhou 215325, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2236-3016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaihong","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, School of Electronics & Information Engineering, Taizhou University, Taizhou 318000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110472","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chaos.2020.110472","article-title":"A discussion on the approximate controllability of Hilfer fractional neutral stochastic integro-differential systems","volume":"142","author":"Dineshkumar","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chaos Solitons Fractals"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109705","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chaos.2020.109705","article-title":"A new study on the mathematical modelling of human liver with Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative","volume":"134","author":"Baleanu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chaos Solitons Fractals"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lv, X., Zhao, K., and Xie, H.
