Existence of mild solutions for fractional nonautonomous evolution equations of Sobolev type with delay

Abstract

In this paper, we deal with a class of nonlinear fractional nonautonomous evolution equations with delay by using Hilfer fractional derivative, which generalizes the famous Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. The definition of mild solutions for the studied problem was given based on an operator family generated by the operator pair (A, B) and probability density function. Combining the techniques of fractional calculus, measure of noncompactness, and fixed point theorem with respect to k-set-contractive, we obtain a new existence result of mild solutions. The results obtained improve and extend some related conclusions on this topic. At last, we present an application that illustrates the abstract results.
