Abstract
In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of nonnegative solutions of an initial value problem for Langevin equations involving two fractional orders:
where \(^c_0\!D^\alpha _t\) and \(^c_0\!D^\beta _t\) are the Caputo fractional derivatives, \(f:[0,1]\times {\mathbf {R}}\rightarrow R\) is a continuous function and \(0<\gamma <\Gamma (\alpha +1)\), \(m-1<\alpha \le m\), \(n-1<\beta \le n\), \(l=\max \{ m,n\}\), \({n,m}\in {\mathbf {N}}^+\), \(\mu _j\ge 0,\) \(\forall ~ j\in [0,m-1] \), \(\nu _i-\gamma \mu _i\ge 0,\) \(\forall ~i\in [0,n-1]\). The main tools are fixed point theorems in partially ordered metric spaces, which are different from methods used in literature. Moreover, two examples are given to illustrate the main results.
