This paper discusses a kind of coupled nonlocal Laplacian evolution equation with Caputo time-fractional derivatives and proportional delays. Green function and mild solution are firstly established by employing the approach of eigenvalues’ expansions and Fourier analysis technique. By the properties of eigenvalues and Mittag–Leffler functions, several vital estimations of Green functions are presented. In view of these estimations and some appropriate assumptions, the existence and uniqueness of the mild solution are studied by utilizing the Leray–Schauder fixed-point theorem and the Banach fixed-point theorem. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our main results.
