Cauchy problems involving a Hadamard-type fractional derivative

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate some Cauchy problems involving a left-sided Hadamard-type fractional derivative. A theorem on the existence of a unique solution to a nonlinear problem is proved. The main result is obtained using a fixed point theorem due to Banach, as well as the Bielecki norm. A Cauchy formula for the solution of the linear problem is derived.
