In the present manuscript, we develop and extend a qualitative analysis for two classes of boundary value problems for nonlinear
hybrid fractional differential equations with hybrid boundary conditions involving a ψ-Hilfer fractional order derivative
introduced by Sousa and de Oliveira (2018). First, we derive the equivalent fractional integral equations to the proposed
problems from some properties of the ψ-fractional calculus. Next, we establish the existence theorems in the weighted spaces
via equivalent fractional integral equations with the help of Dhage’s fixed-point theorem (2004). Besides, for an adequate
choice of the kernel ψ, we recover most of all the preceding results on fractional hybrid equations. Finally, two examples are
constructed to make our main findings effective.
1. Introduction
Recently, a lot of keen interest in the topic of fractional calcu-
lus (FC) has been shown by many researchers and investiga-
tors in view of its theoretical development and extensive
applications in the applied and natural sciences. Different
types of differential and integral operators of arbitrary orders
have been introduced by Kilbas et al. [1]. In the same regard,
Atangana and Baleanu [2] proposed a new fractional deriva-
tive (FD) based on a nonsingular and nonlocal kernel. On the
advanced improvement of the FC without a singular kernel
of the sinc function, the Yang-Gao-Machado-Baleanu FD
was introduced in [3]. Some properties of the FD without a
singular kernel were introduced by Lozada and Nieto [4].
Hilfer in [5] proposed a generalization of the Riemann-
Liouville fractional derivative (RLFD) and Caputo fractional
derivative (CFD) when the author deliberated fractional
time evolution in physical phenomena. The author named
it a generalized FD, whereas more recently, it was named
the Hilfer fractional derivative (HFD). This operator carries
two parameters (α, β) that may be decreased to the RLFD
and CFD definitions if β =0 and β =1, respectively. So, such
