In the work (Bouaouid et al. in Adv. Differ. Equ. 2019:21, 2019), the authors have used the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem for showing the existence of mild solutions of an abstract class of conformable fractional differential equations of the form: $\frac{d^{\alpha }}{dt^{\alpha }}[\frac{d^{\alpha }x(t)}{dt^{\alpha }}]=Ax(t)+f(t,x(t))$
