Abstract
By using a class of aggregation control functions, we introduce the concept of multiple-HU--stability and get an optimum approximation for a nonlinear single fractional differential equation (NS-ABC-FDE) with a Mittag–Leffler kernel. We apply an alternative fixed-point theorem to prove the existence of a unique solution and the multiple-HU--stability for the NS-ABC-FDE in the symmetric matrix-valued FBS. Finally, with an example, we show the application of the obtained results.

The rest of this article is organized as follows. In the Section 2, we first state the basic concepts and theorems needed to prove the new results. To do so, we introduce the SMVFBS, the multiple control function and define the Mittag–Leffler function (M-L-F), the Wright function (W-F) and -Fox function (-F-F); then, we further consider the aggregation function (AG-F) as well as the optimal function which the minimum function as the control function. In Section 3, we state and prove the main theorem, the multiple-HU--stability of the NS-ABC-FDE, using the desired control function. At the end, we provide an example to demonstrate the application of the theorem.

Due to the occurrence of the factor in the integrand of (6). the function is, in general, multi-valued, but it can be made one-valued on the Riemann surface of by choosing a proper branch. We also note that when the σ and ϵ are equal to 1, we obtain the G-functions The above integral representation of the functions, by involving products and ratios of Gamma functions, is known to be of Mellin–Barnes integral type.
