On the Existence and Uniqueness of the Solution of a Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equation with Integral Boundary Condition

Abstract

Abstract This study focuses on investigating the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a specific type of high-order nonlinear fractional differential equations that include the Rieman-Liouville fractional derivative. The boundary condition is of integral type, which involves both the starting and ending points of the domain. Initially, the unique exact solution is derived using Green’s function for the linear fractional differential equation. Subsequently, the Banach contraction mapping theorem is employed to establish the main result for the general nonlinear source term case. Moreover, an illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the legitimacy and applicability of our main result.
