In this article, we consider the cooperative semi-linear fractional system
$ (-\Delta)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\vec {u}(x) = \vec {h}(x,\vec {u}(x)), $
where
$ 0<\alpha <2 $
,
$ \vec u $
 and
$ \vec h $
 stand for
$ k $
-dimentional vector-valued functions, and
$ \vec {h}(x,\vec {u}(x)) $
 is locally Lipschitz in
$ \vec {u} $
. We first establish two narrow region principles for different cases. Based on these principles, we use the direct method of moving spheres to prove the non-existence of positive solutions of the above system in bounded star-shaped domains and the whole space.
Keywords: Semi-linear fractional system, non-existence, narrow region principle, the direct method of moving spheres, bounded star-shaped domain.
