Existence Results for Nonlinear Coupled Hilfer Fractional Differential Equations with Nonlocal Riemann–Liouville and Hadamard-Type Iterated Integral Boundary Conditions

Abstract

We introduce and study a new class of nonlinear coupled Hilfer differential equations with nonlocal boundary conditions involving Riemann–Liouville and Hadamard-type iterated fractional integral operators. By applying the Leray–Schauder alternative and Krasnosel’skiĭ’s fixed point theorem, two results presenting different criteria for the existence of solutions to the given problem are proven. The third result provides a sufficient criterion for the existence of a unique solution to the problem at hand. Numerical examples are constructed to demonstrate the application of the results obtained. Two graphs show asymmetric solutions when a Hilfer parameter is varied. The work presented in this paper is novel and significantly enriches the literature on the topic.
