Abstract
We study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for coupled Langevin differential equations of fractional order with multipoint boundary conditions involving generalized Liouville–Caputo fractional derivatives. Furthermore, we discuss Ulam–Hyers stability in the context of the problem at hand. The results are shown with examples. Results are asymmetric when a generalized Liouville–Caputo fractional derivative parameter is changed.

1. Introduction
The study of operators of fractional order, including integral and derivative, over either real or complex domains is the focus of fractional calculus. Due to its active development and applications in the fields of physics, mechanics, chemistry, engineering, etc., fractional differential equations (FDEs) have become a popular topic of study among scholars. The books [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] are recommended for readers interested in the systematic development of the topic. In mathematical physics, the Langevin equation (LE) is a potent tool for modelling anomalous diffusion and other phenomena in a systematic way. Harmonic oscillators, price index variations [8], and other related processes are examples of this type of process. The theory of critical dynamics also extensively makes use of a general Langevin equation for noise sources with correlations [9]. To comprehend the nature of the quantum noise, a generalized Langevin equation (GLE) [10] can be employed. The LE has a highly elegant and rich role in fractional systems, such as fractional reaction–diffusion systems [11,12]. It is suggested that the fractional analogue of the standard LE, also known as the stochastic differential equation, be used in cases where the separation between microscopic and macroscopic time scales is not obvious; see, for instance, [13]. For a GLE of fractional order of the Liouville–Caputo fractional derivative, the author of [14] investigated moments, variances, location, and velocity correlation. Comparisons were made between the outcomes and those obtained for the same GLE. The aforementioned papers [15,16,17,18,19,20,21] and their relevant references contain recent studies on the LE with varied boundary conditions. The study of fractional calculus has become a significant area of study because of the multiple applications it has in the technical sciences, social sciences, and engineering professions. Differential and integral operators based on a fractional order are thought to be more realistic and useful than their integer-order counterparts because they can show the history of ongoing phenomena and processes. Recently, the literature on the subject has included Hadamard, Caputo(Liouville–Caputo), Riemann–Liouville type derivatives, among others, as well as FDEs. See citations [22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30], as well as the references, for a few recent publications on the topic. The authors in [31] discussed the existence of solutions for Langevin FDEs using Liouville–Caputo derivatives:
where , denote the generalized Liouville–Caputo fractional derivatives (GLCFD), is the generalized fractional integral (GFI). The main results were proven using a fixed-point index theory. Applications to differential equations in science inevitably lead to multipoint boundary value problems. A dynamical system with m degrees of freedom, for instance, might have exactly m examples that are seen at m different times. An m-point boundary value problem is a mathematical representation of such problems. Multipoint problems for differential equations are a subset of interface problems and are therefore amenable to a variety of solutions. The study of fractional differential equations with multipoint boundary conditions has attracted the interest of numerous researchers (see [32,33,34,35] and the references given therein). We demonstrate the existence, uniqueness of solutions and Ulam–Hyers stability for the following generalized Langevin fractional differential system with multipoint boundary conditions, which was inspired by previous research, by utilizing the fixed-point theorems:
where , are the GLCFD of order , , and are continuous functions, . The requirement states that the unknown function’s value at the right endpoint of the specified interval, , must be proportional to its values on different multipoint values of unknown functions with , where are arbitrary constants. The GLCFD is converted into the differentially effective Caputo sense when . It should be noticed that the multipoint strip boundary condition in (4) is new in the context of generalized Liouville–Caputo fractional differential equations and can be understood as the value of a known function at being proportional to the discrete values of the unknown function at , . By employing the fixed-point technique, we investigate the existence and uniqueness solutions of nonlocal generalized Liouville–Caputo fractional boundary value problem with discrete boundary conditions (3) and (4). Differently from the above mentioned works, we obtain the Ulam–Hyers stability solutions of the nonlocal boundary value problem of the generalized Liouville–Caputo type fractional differential Equations (3) and (4) by using conventional functional analysis. To the best of our knowledge, boundary value problems’ (BVPs) stability analysis is still in its early development. The fundamental contribution of this research is to investigate the existence of Ulam–Hyers stability solutions. In addition, we show the problems (3) and (4) used by the fixed-point theorems of Leray–Schauder and Banach to demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of the solutions. The remainder of the paper is structured as follows: In Section 2, we review some fundamental ideas of fractional calculus and find the integral solutions to the given problems’ linear versions. The existence results for problems (3) and (4) derived by using Leray–Schauder’s nonlinear alternative and Banach’s contraction mapping principle are presented in Section 3. Section 4 looks at the Ulam–Hyers stability of the provided systems (3) and (4) under particular circumstances. Examples are provided in Section 6 to further clarify the study’s findings.
2. Preliminaries
This section begins with the fundamental definitions of fractional calculus.

8. Conclusions
We discussed the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a Langevin coupled system of fractional order involving generalised Liouville–Caputo type and multipoint boundary conditions in our contribution. To get at our result, we used the Leray–Schauder and Banach fixed-point theorems, and we included examples to help explain our study results. By using a conventional functional analysis, we demonstrated Ulam–Hyers stability. Our findings in this context are original and contribute to the body of knowledge on generalised fractional integral operators that are used to resolve generalised fractional differential equations of coupled Langevin systems with nonlocal multipoint boundary conditions. We highlighted the topic’s asymmetries in the remarks. The form of the solution in these kinds of statements can be used to conduct additional research on the positive solution and its asymmetry.
