Abstract
In the theory of Banach algebras, we use the Schauder fixed-point theorem to obtain some results that concern the existence property for mild solutions of fractional Cauchy problems that involve the Lie bracket operator, the almost sectorial operator, and the
Hilfer derivative operator. For any Banach algebra and in two types of non-compact associated semigroups and compact associated semigroups, we prove some properties of the existence of these mild solutions using the Hausdorff measure of a non-compact associated semigroup in the collection of bounded sets. That is, we obtain the existence property of mild solutions when the semigroup associated with an almost sectorial operator is compact as well as non-compact. Some examples are introduced as applications for our results in commutative real Banach algebra
and commutative Banach algebra of the collection of continuous functions in
.

1. Introduction
In the 17th century, fractional calculus was introduced as an extension of ordinary calculus; that is, it gives us the derivatives and the integrals for functions of any real order. The Riemann–Liouville fractional differential and integral operators are the oldest of theses fractional differential operators. For these operators in fractional calculus, we have several integrals operators and fractional derivatives that have been developed by many researchers, such as the notions of Riemann-Liouville fractional differentials and integral operators, to introduce some fractional differentials and integral operators such as the Caputo derivative, Hilfer fractional derivative, Hilfer–Katugampola fractional derivative, Katugampola fractional integral, and Hadamard fractional integral. For more details about fractional differential and integral operators, see [,,,,,]. Recall that in [], Hilfer introduced a fractional differential operator that involves the Riemann–Liouville fractional differential operator and Caputo fractional derivative opeartor. The Hilfer operator plays an important role in several applications such as in polymer science, rheological constitutive modeling, engineering, conceptual simulations of dielectric relaxation in crystal materials, and other fields. The theory of classical integer-order partial differential equations and fractional-order partial differential equations is considered a good representation for several models such as in describing issues in fluid flow, finance, fluid mechanics, engineering, polymer science, physics, and other areas of application [,,,,,,,]. Periago and B. Straub [] introduced new spaces and developed a functional calculus concept; that is, they explored the properties of both the mild and classic semigroups, as well as possible explanations for their existence. Wang et al. [] used functional calculus to construct two sets of operators and used the Caputo derivative to solve various fractional Cauchy problems; that is, they obtained the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions and classical solutions to the Cauchy problems. Shu and Shi [] and Shu et al. [] used the formula of mild solutions for impulsive fractional evolution equations and investigated the existence of mild solutions for fractional differential evolution systems with impulse employing sectorial operators.
In recent years, several operators and results have appeared supporting mathematical modeling using fractional calculus to describe the hereditary properties of various materials and processes. For the fractional Cauchy problem, many researchers solved this problem for different types depending on the used fractional differential operator in the theory of Banach spaces; for example, Karthikeyan et al. [] introduced some solution of a
Hilfer fractional Cauchy problem (Equation (1)):

, and
. Zhou et al. [] investigated the existence of attractive solutions of Hilfer fractional evolution, Equation (2). Their methods depend on Schauder’s fixed-point theorem, the generalized Ascoli–Arzela theorem, Kuratowski’s measure of non-compactness, and the Wright function. Varun Bose et al. [] introduced the approximate controllability of a Hilfer fractional neutral Volterra integro-differential problem (Equation (3)), which involves almost sectorial operators, using the Leray–Schauder fixed-point theorem:

All existing studies have introduced some solutions for Hilfer fractional Cauchy problems with an almost sectorial operator in the theory of Banach spaces. Motivated by these studies, in this paper, we further develop these studies under the theory of Banach algebras as follows: Firstly, we construct the classification problem using a Lie bracket operator and almost sectorial operator to give the general
Hilfer fractional Cauchy problem. Secondly, we introduce and investigate the existence property of this problem. So, Section 2 of this paper presents some background and necessary information for Banach algebra, Lie bracket operators, almost sectorial operators, the
Hilfer derivative, measures of non-compactness, and some results from previous studies. Section 3 proves the existence of some mild solutions of the
Hilfer fractional Cauchy problem (Equation (6)) in the cases that associated semigroups are compact or non-compact. Section 4 presents some examples as applications for our main results. The discussion and conclusions are presented in Section 5.
2. Preliminaries
In this section, we first recall the definitions of three operators that will be used in our work, such as the
-Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator
, the
-Hilfer fractional differential operator
, and the Hausdorff measure of non-compactness
. Let

where the derivative
is continuous on
. The
-Riemann–Liouville operator
of order
, for a function
[], is given by
The
-Hilfer fractional derivative of order
for a function
[] is given by
where
. The Hausdorff measures of non-compactness are used to obtain numbers associated with non-compact sets and compact sets where the compact sets have measure 0. That is, the main idea for this measure can be recalled as follows: All bounded sets can be covered by a single ball of some radius. Sometimes, these sets can be covered by many balls of a smaller radius. Since all compact sets are totally bounded sets, then they can be covered by finitely many balls of an arbitrarily small radius. In all cases, the Hausdorff measures of the compact set or non-compact set is the smallest radius that allows us to cover this set with finitely many balls. For a Banach space
, the Hausdorff measure of the non-compactness
of bounded set
[] is given by

with the topology induced by metric function

4. Some Examples

5. Conclusions
It is clear that the
Hilfer fractional problem in the theory of Banach algebras is the extension of the
Hilfer fractional problem in the theory of Banach spaces. In this work, we introduced some extensions in Banach algebra theory for the existence of some mild solutions of the
Hilfer fractional Cauchy problem that involves a Lie bracket operator and almost sectorial operators. This extension was fpr the cases of a non-compact associated semigroup and the measurement of a compact associated semigroup. We used the Arzela–Ascoli theorem to satisfy the desired conditions in Schauder’s fixed-point theorem, which is used to examine the possibility of mild solutions for the
Hilfer fractional problem via almost sectorial operators. For future work, we suggest studying the
Hilfer fractional problem under the theory of Banach algebras in the class of weak topologies and the Hausdorff measure of weak non-compactness. In this case, the Leray–Schauder-type fixed-point theorem can be used in the examination of the possibility of mild solutions for the
Hilfer fractional problem via almost sectorial operators.
