Abstract
In this article, we study a nonlinear fractional integro-differential Langevin equation involving two fractional orders with three-point multi-term fractional integral boundary conditions. By using fixed point theorems and Leray-Schauder degree theory, some new existence results are obtained. Two examples illustrate our results.
