We apply the Radu–Miheţ method derived from an alternative fixed-point theorem with a class of matrix-valued fuzzy controllers to approximate a fractional Volterra integro-differential equation with the -Hilfer fractional derivative in matrix-valued fuzzy k-normed spaces to obtain an approximation for this type of fractional equation.
Fractional calculus is considered as a branch of mathematical analysis that deals with the investigation and applications of integrals and derivatives of arbitrary order. Therefore, fractional calculus is an extension of the integer-order calculus that considers integrals and derivatives of any real or complex order [1], i.e., unifying and generalizing the notions of integer-order differentiation and n-fold integration. Various forms of fractional operators have been introduced over time, such as the Riemann–Liouville, Grünwald–Letnikov, Weyl, Caputo, Marchaud, or Hadamard fractional derivatives. The first approach is the Riemann–Liouville one, which is based on the iteration of the classical integral operator for n times and then considering Cauchy’s formula where is replaced by the Gamma function; hence, the fractional integral of non-integer order is defined. Results on the existence and stability of solutions of implicit fractional differential equations can be found in [2,3,4]. In this article, we study the fuzzy sets’ matrix valued with the generalized t-norms, to define a matrix-valued fuzzy k-Banach space (in short MV-k-FB-space) and introduce a new class of matrix-valued fuzzy controllers. We apply the Radu–Miheţ method to get an approximation for a class of -Hilfer fractional Volterra integro-differential equations [5] in the matrix-valued fuzzy k-normed spaces (MVF-k-N-spaces).
The paper is organized as follows. In the next section, we present the definition of the generalized t-norm and define the matrix-valued fuzzy k-normed space. Next, we introduce the matrix-valued fuzzy controllers and the concept of Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability. In Section 3, we apply the Radu–Miheţ method derived from the alternative fixed point theorem to study the Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of fractional Volterra integro-differential equations in MVF-k-B-spaces. In Section 4, we investigate the Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of fractional Volterra integral equations in MVF-k-B-spaces. In Section 5, we present some examples to illustrate our main results.

Using the properties (MVF-K-N2) and (MVF-K-N3) of Definition 2, (4)–(7), and (39), we have:

for every and , and .
Then:
and so:
Then, is a strictly contractive mapping with Lipschitz constant .

6. Conclusions
In this paper, we studied the concept of matrix-valued fuzzy k-normed spaces (MVF-k-N-spaces), and we applied the alternative fixed-point theorem to investigate the Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of some fractional equations in these spaces. We defined a class of matrix-valued fuzzy control functions for stabilizing fractional Volterra integro-differential equations with -Hilfer fractional derivative in the complete MVF-k-N-spaces, and we obtained the best approximation for this kind of fractional equations.
