Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solution to boundary value problems for a class of nonlinear fuzzy factional differential equations involving the fuzzy gH- fractional Caputo derivative. By means of the Schauder fixed point theorem in semi-linear spaces and integral inequality technique, some qualitative results of solutions are obtained. An example is provided from which new results are found.

Keywords

Fuzzy fractional differential equations, generalized Hukuhara differentiability, boundary value problems, Schauder fixed point theorem, generalized Gronwall inequality.
