Abstract
This research paper is dedicated to the study of a class of boundary value problems for a nonlinear, implicit, hybrid, fractional, differential equation, supplemented with boundary conditions involving general fractional derivatives, known as the -Hilfer and -Riemann–Liouville fractional operators. The existence of solutions to the mentioned problem is obtained by some auxiliary conditions and applied Dhage’s fixed point theorem on Banach algebras. The considered problem covers some symmetry cases, with respect to a function. Moreover, we present a pertinent example to corroborate the reported results.
1. Introduction
Fractional calculus theory is an extension and expansion of integer calculus theory. Because of its good heritability and memory, it has received wide attention from more and more scholars. It is used in optical and thermal systems, rheology and material mechanics systems, signal processing and system identification, as well as control and robotics and has a wide range of applications [1,2,3,4,5]. Fractional theory concepts are used in modern studies to describe the state of complex physical systems with self-similarity properties, complex scaling, and heredity. The methods of fractal and multifractal analysis of images and time series are presented as mathematical tools, allowing the specification of irregular objects and dynamic properties of processes. As a fractal formalism (or independent scientific theory), fractional calculus is one of the recent analytical directions. The most used fractional operators are the Riemann–Liouville and Caputo types [1,2]. Recently, many generalizations of these fractional operators have appeared, one such general category is the class of fractional operators involving analytic kernels, introduced by Fernandez et al. [6]. Another, more broad, class of fractional operators, sometimes referred to as -fractional calculus, is described by fractional differentiation and the integration of one function, regarding another function. These generalizations are a useful method for generalizing many kinds of fractional calculus, which have been intensely considered over the most recent few years. We mention here a simple survey within this class, which will be a significant subject of this paper, namely developed fractional calculus, which has likewise been called -fractional calculus. The thought previously emerged in a 1964 research paper by Erdelyi [7], in which he examined the fractional calculus regarding a power function ; a similar operator was proposed by Katugampola in 2011 [8]. Generality, this category was first proposed and inspired by Osler in 1970 [9], and it was mentioned briefly in the 1974 textbook [10]; it was then taken up extensively in the monograph of Kilbas et al. 2006 [1]. As of late, Almeida [11] and Sousa et al. [12] have used fractional operators to generalize Caputo and Hilfer types, respectively, with respect to another function. Additionally, Jarad and Thabet, in [13], presented fascinating properties of this generalized operator, including the generalized Laplace transform.
On the other hand, there has been a great deal of interest in the field of the qualitative analysis of fractional differential equations (FDEs), with multiple boundary conditions involving the generalized Hilfer operator. For more details, see [14,15,16,17,18]. For the recent works regarding to proposed problem, see [19,20,21,22,23,24].
Wang and Zhang [22] investigated some existence results of the following IVP, for a nonlocal FDE under the Hilfer derivative:
Derbazi et al. [23] proved the existence and uniqueness results of the following BVP, for a hybrid FDE under Caputo derivatives:
Salim et al. [24] established the existence results of the following IVP for a nonlocal implicit hybrid FDE under the Katugampola Hilfer derivative:
Motivated by recent developments in the topic of generalized fractional calculus (and according to the available ideas in the above studies), in the present study, we intend to address a general extension of these works by performing existence analysis on the following BVPs for a nonlinear implicit hybrid FDE with mixed integro-derivative boundary conditions:
where and are the -Hilfer fractional derivatives (-Hilfer FDs for short) of order and , respectively; type , is the -Riemann–Liouville fractional integral of order , ; and the non-linear functions , , and are continuous, such that .
Observe that the problem (4) is new to the literature on implicit hybrid FDEs and includes a hybrid FDE (2) for and Moreover, our current problem generates many problems associated with different values of and as special cases. The proposed problem covers some symmetry cases, with respect to the function and parameter . For instance, in the case of and our problem (4) symmetries the Hilfer type hybrid problem and Hilfer–Hadamard type hybrid problem. Besides, if and then the conditions of Equation (4) become the symmetry conditions for the values of a,b with and for the fractional derivative of order of the unknown function .
The structure of our paper is provided as follows. Section 2 contains the definitions and preliminary results to prove our main findings. In Section 3, we present an assistive lemma that extracts the representation for the solutions of the problem (4) and we establish the existence of the solutions by taking advantage of the Dhage fixed point theorem for the proposed problem. The last section gives an illustrative example to support and justify the acquired results.

Substituting the value of and in Equation (32), we get the Equation (12). Conversly, assume that u is a solution of Equation (12). Then, we get
Taking the operator on both sides of above equation, with the help of Definition 1 and Lemmas 1–3, we get:
On the other hand, applying the operator on both sides of Equation (12), with replace by we get:
Next, replace by a in Equation (12), we get

Then, the Equation (32) can be written as:
Now, we need to show that the operators , , and agree with the assumptions of Dhage’s Theorem 1.
Step-I: We first show that and are Lipschitzian on , with Lipschitz constants and , respectively. Let . Then, using (2), we have:

5. Conclusions
Nowadays, we need to develop and refine our capabilities, in order to generalize some recent results directly related to the subject of FDEs, for the purpose of expanding new trends in the area of these equations and their real-world applications.
Many authors have generalized some of the various fractional operators, utilizing traditional operators in fractional calculus. One of these operators is the generalized Hilfer fractional derivative, introduced by Sousa and Oliveira [12]. In this paper, we have successfully investigated the existence of solution for the -Hilfer type nonlinear implicit hybrid FDE. The main result was obtained by applying Dhage’s hybrid fixed point theorem for three operators in a Banach algebra [26,27,28]. The main results are illustrated with a numerical example. Further, our current problem was a general extension of the previous standard cases of implicit hybrid FDEs by assigning different values for all existing orders and parameters or defining the function in the aforesaid problem (4). The supposed problem (4), with given mixed integro-derivative boundary conditions, can describe some mathematical models of real and physical processes, in which some parameters are frequently acclimated to appropriate circumstances. So, the value of these parameters can change the impacts of fractional integrals and derivatives.
