1. Introduction
Fractional calculus is an extension of the ordinary differentiation and integration to arbitrary non-integer order. In recent years, this theory has become an important object of investigations due to its demonstrated applications in different areas of physics and engineering (see, for example, [1,2] and the references therein). In particular, time fractional differential equations are used when attempting to describe transport processes with long memory. Recently, the study of time fractional ordinary and partial differential equations has received great attention from many researchers, both in theory and in applications; we refer the reader to the monographs of Abbas et al. [3,4,5], Samko et al. [6], and Kilbas et al. [7], and the papers [8,9,10,11,12,13,14] and the references therein. On the other hand, the existence of solutions of initial and boundary value problems for fractional differential equations with the Hilfer fractional derivative have started to draw attention. For the related works, see for example [1,15,16,17,18,19,20] and the references therein.
Functional differential equations with random effects are differential equations with a stochastic process in their vector field [21,22,23,24,25]. They play a fundamental role in the theory of random dynamical systems.
Consider the following coupled system of Hilfer fractional differential equations:
with the following initial conditions:
where , is a measurable space, are given functions, is the left-sided mixed Riemann–Liouville integral of order and is the generalized Riemann–Liouville derivative (Hilfer) operator of order and type Next, we discuss the following coupled system of Hilfer–Hadamard fractional differential equations:

This new fractional derivative (9) may be viewed as interpolating the Hadamard fractional derivative and the Caputo–Hadamard fractional derivative. Indeed, for , this derivative reduces to the Hadamard fractional derivative, and when we recover the Caputo–Hadamard fractional derivative.
From [31], we conclude the following lemma.
