Abstract
In this research paper, we dedicate our interest to an investigation of the sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of two new types of a coupled systems of hybrid fractional differential equations involving -Hilfer fractional derivatives. The existence results are established in the weighted space of functions using Dhage’s hybrid fixed point theorem for three operators in a Banach algebra and Dhage’s helpful generalization of Krasnoselskii fixed- point theorem. Finally, simulated examples are provided to demonstrate the obtained results.
1. Introduction
Fractional differential equations (FDEs) have a profound physical background and rich theoretical connotations and have been particularly eye-catching in recent years. Several-order differential equations refer to equations that contain fractional derivatives or fractional integrals. Currently, fractional derivatives and fractions order integrals have a wide range of applications in many disciplines such as physics, biology, chemistry, etc. For more information see [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10].
Several concepts about fractional derivatives such as Liouville, Caputo, Hadamard, Caputo–Fabrizio and Hilfer derivatives have been proposed in recent years. As a result, a wide range of arbitrary order differential equation designs based on these fractional operators have emerged. The qualitative properties of solutions (existence, uniqueness, and stability) have been studied by several researchers. For the applications and latest work regarding to these operators, we suggest readers to [11,12,13,14,15].
On the other hand, fractional hybrid differential equations emerge from a wide range of spaces of applied and physical sciences, this class of equations can be used to model and describe non-homogeneous physical events, e.g., in the deflections of a curved beam with a constant or varying cross-section, electromagnétic waves, or gravity-driven streams, etc. Many researchers have recently become interested in a novel class of mathematical modelings based on hybrid fractional differential equations with hybrid or non-hybrid boundary value conditions [16,17,18,19].
Coupled systems, including FDEs, are important to study because they appear in a wide range of practical applications. We refer to a collection of papers for some theoretical approaches on coupled systems [20,21,22,23]. Recent works related to our work were done by [24,25]. Sitho et. al. [24] studied the existence of hybrid fractional integrodifferential equations described as follows
and
where denotes the Caputo fractional derivatives of order and denotes the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order The functions and are continuous functions. Boutiara et. al. in [25] studied the existence of solutions for the following coupled system in the sense of -Caputo fractional operators
Motivated by the novel advancements of hybrid fractional integrodifferential equations and their applications, also by the above argumentations, by means of Dhage’s hybrid fixed point theorem for three operators in a Banach algebra [26] and Dhage’s helpful generalization of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem [27], we investigate the existence of a solution for two classes of coupled hybrid fractional integrodifferential equations. The first class described by
where is the -Hilfer fractional derivative of order and type with respect to an increasing function with , for all are the -Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order . The functions with are continuous functions. We prove an existence result for the -Hilfer hybrid system (1) using Dhage’s hybrid fixed point theorem for three operators in a Banach algebra [26].
We will also look at the necessary conditions for the existence of a solution for -Hilfer hybrid system which described as follows
where is the -Hilfer fractional derivative of order such that and types with respect to an increasing function with , for all are the -Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order . The functions with are continuous functions that meet certain standards that will be mentioned later. We prove an existence result for the -Hilfer hybrid system (2) using a useful generalization of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theory due to Dhage [27].
- We discuss two types of hybrid systems with generalized Hilfer fractional operator with respect to another increasing function with .
- The results obtained in this work includes the results of Sitho et al. [24], Boutiara et al. [25] and cover many problems which do not study yet.
The remainder of the paper is laid out as follows: We will go through some helpful preliminaries in Section 2. The existence of the solutions for -Hilfer hybrid system (1) has been investigated in Section 3, whereas the existence of the solutions for -Hilfer hybrid system (2) has been addressed in Section 4. We provide a relevant examples in Section 5 to demonstrate our findings. In the last section, we will provide some last observations about our findings.

6. Conclusions
Recently, the theory of fractional differential equations has attracted the interest of several researchers in different filed due to its various applications. In particular, those involving generalized fractional operators. It is important that we investigate the fractional systems with generalized Hilfer derivatives since these derivatives cover many systems in the literature and they contain a kernel with different values that generate many special cases.
The existence of solutions for two class -Hilfer hybrid fractional integrodifferential equations was investigated in this study. The first result was obtained by applying Dhage’s hybrid fixed point theorem for three operators in a Banach algebra [26], while the second result was reached by applying Dhage’s helpful generalization of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem [27]. The main conclusions are well-illustrated with examples. The results obtained in this work includes the results of Sitho et al. [24], Boutiara et al. [25] and cover many problems which do not study yet.
