Abstract

We study boundary value problems for differential equations involving Caputo derivative of order α∈(n−1,n) in Banach spaces. Existence and uniqueness results of solutions are established by virtue of the Hölder’s inequality, a suitable singular Gronwall’s inequality and fixed point theorem via a priori estimate method. At last, three examples are given to illustrate the results.
