On the Solvability of Mixed-Type Fractional-Order Non-Linear Functional Integral Equations in the Banach Space <i>C</i>(<i>I</i>)

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the existence of the solution to mixed-type non-linear fractional functional integral equations involving generalized proportional (κ,ϕ)-Riemann–Liouville along with Erdélyi–Kober fractional operators on a Banach space C([1,T]) arising in biological population dynamics. The key findings of the article are based on theoretical concepts pertaining to the fractional calculus and the Hausdorff measure of non-compactness (MNC). To obtain this goal, we employ Darbo’s fixed-point theorem (DFPT) in the Banach space. In addition, we provide two numerical examples to demonstrate the applicability of our findings to the theory of fractional integral equations.
