We introduce the delayed Mittag-Leffler type matrix functions, delayed fractional cosine, and delayed fractional sine and use the
Laplace transform to obtain an analytical solution to the IVP for a Hilfer type fractional linear time-delay system D

ðt Þ + Ωzðt − hÞ = f ðt Þ of order 1< μ <2 and type 0 ≤ ν ≤ 1, with nonpermutable matrices A and Ω. Moreover, we study Ulam-
Hyers stability of the Hilfer type fractional linear time-delay system. Obtained results extend those for Caputo and Riemann-
Liouville type fractional linear time-delay systems with permutable matrices and new even for these fractional delay systems.
1. Introduction
Khusainov et al. [1] studied the following Cauchy problem
for a second order linear differential equation with pure
delay:

xt − τ ð Þ = ft ðÞ, t ≥ 0, τ > 0,
xt ðÞ = φ t ðÞ, x ′ t ðÞ = φ′ t ðÞ, −τ ≤ t ≤ 0,

, Ω is a n × n nonsingular matrix, τ is
the time delay and φ is an arbitrary twice continuously dif-
ferentiable vector function. A solution of (1) has an explicit
representation of the form ([1], Theorem 2):

denote
the delayed matrix cosine of polynomial degree 2k on the
intervals ðk − 1Þτ ≤ t < kτ and the delayed matrix sine of
polynomial degree 2k +1 on the intervals ðk − 1Þτ ≤ t < kτ,
respectively.
It should be stressed out that pioneer works [1, 2] led to
many new results in integer and noninteger order time-delay
differential equations and discrete delayed system; see
[3–18]. These models have applications in spatially extended
fractional reaction-diffusion models [19], oscillating systems
[20, 21], numerical solutions [22], and so on.
Introducing the fractional analogue delayed matrices
cosine/sine of a polynomial degree, see Formulas (5) and
(6), Liang et al. [23] gave representation of a solution to
the initial value problem (3):
