Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of a solution for the implicit two-order fractional integro-differential equation with m-point boundary conditions by applying the Banach fixed point theorem. Moreover, in the paper we establish the four different varieties of Ulam stability (Hyers–Ulam stability, generalized Hyers–Ulam stability, Hyers–Ulam-Rassias stability, and generalized Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability) for the given problem.

1. Introduction
The derivative and integral of a function are generalized to non-integer order in fractional calculus. Despite this calculus’s ancient origins, it has only recently been relevant in the fields of science and engineering (mathematical physics, hydrology, biology, and mechanics) [1,2,3,4,5]. The existence and singularity of solutions to differential equations with fractional derivatives have been discussed by some academics ([6,7,8] and references therein).
In 1940, Ulam delivered a lecture at Wisconsin University, introducing the concept of functional equations’ stability. Within this discussion, Ulam posed a question [9,10] that was initially addressed by Hyers in 1941 [11]. Consequently, this type of stability became known as Ulam–Hyers stability. Rassias significantly developed the concept of Ulam–Hyers stability in 1978 [12]. Since then, a functional equation’s stability has been extensively studied in a multitude of articles and through presentations delivered at various conferences [13,14,15].
The primary goal of this paper is to study the Ulam-type stability for the following fractional integro-differential problem with tow-orders (FIDP)
with the conditions

3. Existence and Uniqueness
In this section, by mentioning basic lemmas, we introduce conditions adequate for the existence and the uniqueness of solution to the FIDP (1) and (2) using Banach’s fixed point theorem.
Lemma 2.

6. Conclusions
This research study has a number of important contributions. First, we prove that the integration Equation (9) and FIDP (1) and (2) are equivalent. The focus of our investigation is this significant link. The existence and uniqueness of solutions for boundary value issues involving implicit two-order fractional integro-differential equations are then established. The use of the Banach fixed-point theorem forms the foundation of this accomplishment. Additionally, we learn about and investigate a number of stability characteristics, such as Hyers–Ulam stability, generalized Hyers–Ulam stability, Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability, and generalized Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability. If boundary conditions of the fractional integral type are added, implicit two-order fractional integro-differential equations of fractional order are also subject to these stability features. Last but not least, we wrap up the article with a concrete example that effectively illustrates the usefulness and applicability of the obtained results.
