Nonlinear boundary value problems for mixed-type fractional equations and Ulam-Hyers stability

Abstract

In this article, we discuss the nonlinear boundary value problems involving both left Riemann-Liouville and right Caputo-type fractional derivatives. By using some new techniques and properties of the Mittag-Leffler functions, we introduce a formula of the solutions for the aforementioned problems, which can be regarded as a novelty item. Moreover, we obtain the existence result of solutions for the aforementioned problems and present the Ulam-Hyers stability of the fractional differential equation involving two different fractional derivatives. An example is given to illustrate our theoretical result.
