Abstract
In this paper, we show the existence of solutions for nonlinear fractional q-difference inclusions involving convex as well as non-convex valued maps with nonlocal Robin (separated) conditions. Our results are new in the present configuration and are based on some standard principles for multivalued maps. A special case for q-difference inclusions in the given setting is also discussed. Some interesting observations are presented.
