1. Introduction
It is a fact supported by many researchers that fractional calculus (FC) establishes a flexible extension for the classical one to arbitrary orders. FC has attracted particular attention from many researchers of mathematics, applied sciences, and engineering because of the various important applications of this field in modeling certain scientific phenomena and complex physical systems. Modeling systems using fractional derivatives can provide a good interpretation of the physical behavior of the studied systems due to the nonlocality and memory effects that have been exhibited in some systems. Some studies have been conducted on the mathematical analysis of FC and its applications such as European option pricing models [], p-Laplacian nonperiodic nonlinear boundary value problem [], nonlocal Cauchy problem [], economic models involving time fractal [], complex integral [], incompressible second-grade fluid models [], complex-valued functions of a real variable [], and separated homotopy method []. Likewise, quantum calculus is a corresponding field of the standard infinitesimal one without the concept of limits. In spite of the long history that they already have, both theories are in the field of mathematical analysis, the investigation of their properties has emerged not so long ago. The quantum fractional calculus (q-fractional calculus), considered as the fractional correspondence of the q-calculus, was initially proposed by Jackson [,,]. Researchers such as Al-Salam [] and Agarwal [] gave a great boost to the fractional q-calculus and obtained important theoretical results. Based on these results, the fractional q-calculus has emerged as an instrument with great potential in the field of applications [,,,]. Even in recent years, many articles have been appeared on quantum integro-difference boundary value problems (BVPs), which are valuable abstract tools for modeling many phenomena in various fields of science [,,,,,,,,,,,,].
Asawasamrit et al. [] provided a multi-term q-integro-difference equation subject to nonlocal multi-quantum integral conditions displayed as
where , , , and . The approach implemented by them to arrive at the existence property of solutions for the suggested q-BVP is based on the fixed-point techniques []. After that in 2015, Etemad, Ettefagh and Rezapour [] concerned the three-term q-difference FBVP
with four-point q-integro-difference conditions
where , , , , and with . Ntouyas and Samei [] turned to studying the solutions’ existence for the q-integro-difference FBVP
via boundary conditions and , in which , , , with , , are defined by the rule for and is assumed to be continuous with respect to all variables [].
Stimulated by the above research studies, the following proposed nonlinear Caputo fractional quantum BVP is furnished with the fractional quantum integro-conditions:

where , , and . Two operators and represent the Caputo quantum derivative (CpQD) and the Riemann-Liouville quantum integral (RLQI). Furthermore, continuous single-valued function and multi-valued function are assumed to be arbitrary equipped with some required specifications that will be explained subsequently. In comparison to other researches on the quantum difference BVPs that were published in the literature, we here deal with two abstract and extended structures of new fractional quantum difference equations/inclusions via q-integro-difference conditions in which the existing property of the relevant solutions is derived by terms of new notions of the functional analysis such as the condensing maps and the measure of noncompactness and the approximate endpoint criterion. These procedures on the suggested q-difference-BVPs (1) and (2) have been implemented in a limited range of research studies on the quantum fractional modelings. This yields the novelty and our main motivation to finalize this manuscript.
This research scheme is outlined as follows: We present the main concepts of the quantum calculus in Section 2. Our main results caused by new fixed-point approaches about solutions’ existence of quantum BVP (1) and (2) will be obtained in Section 3. In Section 4, two numerical examples will be provided to support and validate our obtained results. A conclusion about our research work will be stated in Section 5.

3. Main Results
We regard the family of continuous functions on by and the defined sup-norm , for all members , confirms that the space becomes a Banach space. In the sequel, we will establish the existence results for quantum BVP (1) and (2). Before moving to the existence results, the following proposition will play an essential role:
Proposition 1.
Let , , , , and . Then, the function satisfies as a solution for the given quantum integro-difference FBVP (CpQFP) formulated by

Proof.
Firstly, the given function is regarded as a solution for (8). By virtue of , taking the integral in the RL-settings of order to (8), we arrive at

Remark 1.
Note that for simplicity in the subsequent computations, we set the following upper bounds by virtue of the functions displayed in (12):
Theorem 3.
Let be continuous. In addition, assume that there exists a continuous along with a nondecreasing continuous map such that for each and ,
We suppose that there exists a function such that for each bounded set and ,
Then, at least one solution of the given Caputo fractional quantum BVP (1) exists on if
where .
Proof.
Introduce the mapping defined as:
where and is classified as a convex bounded closed space. Obviously, the fixed point of the proposed operator is the quantum fractional BVP’s solution (1).
Firstly, we verify the continuity of on . Take the sequence in such that for each . Since is continuous on , so we can write . Now, with the aid of Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, we obtain:
for each . Thus, we get . Hence, the continuity of on is proved. Now, we want to examine uniform boundedness of on . To accomplish this goal, consider . In view of inequalities (13) and (14), we have:
Set
Consequently, we can declare that , and this implies uniform boundedness of on . Next, we ensure the equi-continuity of . In order to check this, consider such that and . Then, we get:
Note that the above inequality’s right hand side goes to zero as (independent of ℏ). Hence, it is evident that as , and this confirms that is an equi-continuous. Consequently, we conclude that is a compact operator on in view of the famous Arzela–Ascoli theorem.
At this point, we will check that is condensing operator on . By Lemma 3, it is obvious that a countable set exists for each bounded subset such that holds. Hence, in the light of Lemmas 2, 4 and 5, the following is obtained
Hence,
By applying condition (16), we get . This clearly implies that is condensing operator on . Ultimately, by employing Theorem 1, we can infer that the map possesses one fixed point leastwise in . Thus, it is found at least one solution for the supposed quantum-integro-difference FBVP (1) and finally the proof process is terminated. □
Now, we set up an existence criterion for the given fractional quantum inclusion BVP (2). The inclusion problem’s solution (2) is determined by an absolutely continuous function whenever it satisfies the given fractional quantum integro-difference conditions, and a function exists such that the inclusion holds for almost all , and we have:

Then, a solution is found for the given quantum-difference inclusion FBVP (2).
Proof.
We are going to determine that an endpoint exists for the multifunction given by (21). Since the map is measurable and closed-valued set-valued mappingl therefore, it has a measurable selection. As a result, . Firstly, we show that is closed for every . Consider the sequence in such that converges to ℏ. For each n, there exists such that
for almost all . Since the multi-valued function is compact, we have a subsequence converging to . Thus, and
for almost all . This indicates that and therefore, is closed-valued. Since is compact multi-valued function, it is simple to check that is bounded for all . At last, we prove that holds. Let and . Select such that

5. Conclusions
The proposed nonlinear Caputo quantum-difference FBVP with fractional quantum integro-conditions along with its fractional quantum-difference inclusion BVP has been studied in this work. In this direction, we proved the existence of a solution for the first quantum-difference Equation (1) with the help of some notions in topological degree theory. In other words, we defined a new operator and checked its properties and finally showed that it is a condensing function. The existence of a fixed point for this operator ensured the existence of a solution for the mentioned quantum-difference Equation (1). In the next step, we considered the inclusion version of the above FBVP which had a form as (2). To arrive at the main purpose this time for confirming the existence of solutions of (2), we used new techniques based on the approximate endpoint property and the existence of endpoints for a newly-defined multifunction. Numerical illustrative examples have been provided to display the validity and potentiality of our main results to be applied in future research works. We recommend that other researchers can study different generalizations of the proposed q-difference-FBVPs by using novel fractional difference-operators such as -difference ones.
