We consider the model of a Caputo -fractional boundary value problem involving -Laplacian operator. By using the Banach contraction mapping principle, we prove that, under some conditions, the suggested model of the Caputo -fractional boundary value problem involving -Laplacian operator has a unique solution for both cases of and . It is interesting that in both cases solvability conditions obtained here depend on , , and the order of the Caputo -fractional differential equation. Finally, we illustrate our results with some examples.
