Abstract
This article deals with the solutions of the existence and uniqueness for a new class of boundary value problems (BVPs) involving nonlinear fractional differential equations (FDEs), inclusions, and boundary conditions involving the generalized fractional integral. The nonlinearity relies on the unknown function and its fractional derivatives in the lower order. We use fixed-point theorems with single-valued and multi-valued maps to obtain the desired results, through the support of illustrations, the main results are well explained. We also address some variants of the problem.
1. Introduction
The subject of the fractional boundary value problem (BVP) has been intensively discussed in recent years by several researchers and in the literature, for example [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19] and the references cited therein, where a variety of findings relevant to both the theoretical and implementation aspects of the topic can be found. It has improved the classic modeling of many significant materials and processes with the use of fractional calculus tools as a fractional-order operator can take the history of the phenomena involved into account. The extensive applications of fractional calculus can easily be seen in many engineering and technical sciences such as biology, environmental problems, aerodynamics, electron-analytic chemistry, etc. We direct the viewer to the article [20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28] and the references listed in it for examples and information. Recently, some authors analyzed the problems of fractional differential equations and inclusions. Ahmad et al. discussed in [29] the fractional differential equations (FDEs) and inclusions with nonlocal Erdelyi–Kober integral conditions:
and:
Ntouyas et al. [30] investigated the existence of solutions for fractional differential inclusion. Salem et al. [31] studied the FDEs and inclusions, under integral-multipoint conditions.
In this article, we examine a new BVP of FDEs and inclusions:
augmented with the boundary conditions given by:
where denotes the Caputo fractional derivatives (CFDs) of order , , denote the generalized Riemann–Liouville fractional integral (GRLFI) of order , is a continuous function, is a multivalued map, is all nonempty subsets of , and , is a real constant.
For , let denote the continuous function space of Banach endowed with the norm. For a normed space , let , , , and . Define the set of choices by each ,
The remaining part of the article is structured accordingly. We recall some definitions in Section 2 and establish a lemma regarding the linear problem variant (1)–(3). Section 3 and Section 4 include the consequences of existence. We emphasize that the techniques used in these sections in fixed-point theory are the standard. Finally, we glance at a new problem similar to (1)–(3) and discuss the approach to solving them.
2. Preliminaries
Here, we are reminded of some basic concepts in the fractional calculus [23,32,33] and of the results that we need to accomplish during the upcoming analysis.
Definition 1.
A continuous function is defined by the RLFI of order :
provided the right-hand side (RHS) is point-wise defined on .

Definition 4.
A multi-valued map is Caratheodory if:
- (i) is measurable for each ;

3. Single-Valued Maps for the Problem (1) and (3)
With respect to Lemma 1, the problem (1) and (3) is turned into a fixed point problem equivalent to:
where is defined by:
We represent it as suitable for computing:
Theorem 1.
Proof.
First, we demonstrate that operator Y is completely continuous. Let be a bounded set. Then, use the premise , ; we get:
which yields when taking the norm for ,
where ’s are given by (6). Similarly, we can obtain:
where and:
Likewise, we can obtain:
where and:
For and , we have:
Similarly, we can accomplish:
Likewise, we obtain:
The RHS of the inequalities (14)–(16) tends to zero as independently of y. Thus, Y is equicontinuous. Therefore, by the lemma (see Lemma 1.2 [21]), , , and are relatively compact in . Hence, is a relatively compact subset of . Next, we take the set , into consideration and prove it is bounded. Let . Then, , . For any , it follows from that:
This indicates that the set is bounded. Thus, operator Y has at least one fixed point by Theorem (see Theorem [20]) The problem (1) and (3) has at least one solution on . □
Theorem 2.
Let be a continuous function that holds the following conditions:
Proof.
Define , where with:
where , , and are defined by (10)–(12), respectively. In order to demonstrate the premise of Theorem (see Theorem 4.4.1 [20]), the operator Y provided by (9) is divided into by .
It can be easily shown that for , and using (17), , and , that means . Next, we are going to show that is a contraction. Let . Then, we use the statement ,
Similarly,
Likewise,
This follows from the observation that the operator is a contraction. Next we are going to show the is compact and continuous. The continuity of g means operator is continuous. is uniformly bounded on as , and . Furthermore, with and , we have:
Similarly, we can obtain:
Likewise, we obtain:
The RHS of the inequalities (18)–(20) tend to zero as independently of y. Thus, is relatively compact on . Hence, by the lemma (see Lemma 1.2 [21]), is compact on . Therefore, all the claims of the theorem (see Theorem 4.4.1 [20]) are fulfilled. Therefore, at least one solution exists (1) and (3) for the problem on . □
Theorem 3.
Proof.
We demonstrate that , where Y is described by (9), with , . For , , we have that:
which yields along with the given conditions:
Similarly, we can obtain:
Likewise, we obtain:
Therefore, we get , which means . Then, for , for each , we have:
Similarly,
Likewise,
Therefore, the operator Y is a contraction in the light of condition . Thus, Theorem (see Theorem 1.2.2 [20]) follows that the problem (1) and (3) has a unique solution on . □
4. Multi-Valued Maps for the Problem (2) and (3)
Theorem 4.
Assume that:

there exists a function , and a nondecreasing, sub-homogeneous function such that (i.e., ∀ and ):
for each ;
there exists a constant such that:
Then, there is at least one solution for the BVP (2) and (3) on .
Proof.
Define an operator by where:
We will prove that follows the theorem’s assumptions (see 8. Theorem 8.5 [22]). The proof requires multiple measures. First, we demonstrate that for every , is convex. This phase is evident as is convex, so we skip the proof. Next, we show that maps in bounded sets to bound sets. Let be a bounded ball in for a positive number ϵ. Then, for each , , there exists such that:
Then, we have for :
which yields on the norm for ,
Similarly, we have:
Likewise, we have:
As , is arbitrary, so we have:
Next, we demonstrate that maps bounded into equicontinuous sets of . Let with and . For each , we obtain:
Similarly, we can obtain:
Likewise, we obtain:
Clearly, the RHS of the above-mentioned inequalities tends to be zero as . As fulfills the premises, the lemma (see Lemma 1.2 [21]) follows that is completely continuous. We demonstrate that the is USC at the end. It is enough to prove that has a closed graph in the lemma (see Proposition 1.2 [32]). Let , , and . Then, we have to prove that ; there exists such that for each ,
Therefore, it is enough to prove that exists so that for each ,
Consider the linear operator provided by:
Observe that:
The lemma (see Lemma [34]) follows that is a closed graph operator. We also have . Therefore, since , we have:
Next, we demonstrate that an open set exists with for any and all . Let and . Then, there exists with such that for , we can obtain:
This ensures that . With regard to (C3), there exists such that . Let us set . Remember that operator is USC and completely continuous. There is no of the choice of such that for some . Therefore, we deduce from Theorem (see 8.Theorem 8.5 [22]) that has a fixed point to the problem (2) and (3). □
Theorem 5.
Assume that:
is such that is measurable for each ;
and with and . Then, the problem (2) and (3) has at least one solution for if:
Proof.
Consider operator defined in Theorem 4 at the beginning of the proof. Remember that for each , set is not empty by Hypothesis , so has a measurable range (see Theorem III.6 [35]). Now, we prove that the operator fulfills the lemma’s assumptions (see Lemma [36]). To show that for each , let be such that in . Then, , and there exists such that, for each ,
Since has compact values, we move a subsequence (if required) to get converging to p in . Therefore, , and for each , we have:
Thus, . Now, we demonstrate that there exists such that for each . Let and . Then, there exists such that, for each ,
By , we have:
Therefore, there exists such that:
Define by:
As the operator can be measurable (Proposition III.4 [35]), a function exists, which is a selection measurable for . Therefore, , and for each , we have . For each , define:
Thus,
which yields . Furthermore, we have:
In a similar manner, we have:
As a result, we get . Likewise, swap the positions of y and ; we can get . Since is a contraction by (21), it follows that it has a fixed point y by the lemma (see Lemma [36]), which is a solution of the problem (2) and (3). □

6. Discussion
We discussed the solutions of the existence and uniqueness for FDEs and inclusions supplemented by GRLFI boundary conditions. We used fixed point theorems for single-valued and multi-valued maps to evaluate the desired results. When we fixed the parameters involved in the problem (1)–(3), our results corresponded to certain specific problems. Suppose that taking in the results provided, we are given the problems (1) with the form:
while the results are:
followed by . When , we can obtain:
Concerning the problem (1) with (28) instead of (3), we obtained the operator defined by:
where:
Similarly, the problem (1) related to operator with conditions (29) rather than (3) is:
where:
Likewise, the problem (1) related to operator with conditions (30) rather than (3) is:
where:
The existence and uniqueness of solutions for the new problems can be defined by the , , and operators similar to those obtained for (1)–(3).
