Abstract
Motivated by the \(\Psi \)-Riemann–Liouville \((\Psi -\mathrm{RL})\) fractional derivative and by the \(\Psi \)-Hilfer \((\Psi -\mathrm{H})\) fractional derivative, we introduced a new fractional operator the so-called \(\Psi \)-fractional integral. We present some important results by means of theorems and in particular, that the \(\Psi \)-fractional integration operator is limited. In this sense, we discuss some examples, in particular, involving the Mittag–Leffler \((\mathrm{M-L})\) function, of paramount importance in the solution of population growth problem, as approached. On the other hand, we realize a brief discussion on the uniqueness of nonlinear \(\Psi \)-fractional Volterra integral equation (\(\mathrm{VIE}\)) using \(\beta \)-distance functions.
