Abstract

In this article we investigate some qualitative properties for a class of hybrid nonlinear fractional differential equations. The existence, uniqueness, monotonicity and positivity of the solution are studied by the method of upper and lower control functions and using Dhage fixed point theorem. Some examples are introduced to illustrate the applicability of the results.
