“…Using some standard fixed point theorems and the Picard iteration method, the existence and uniqueness results for problem () were established as well as results on the long‐term behavior of solutions. Most studies on the solutions of Caputo‐type FDEs were based on methods in the topological degree theory [
13–16, 20]. Recently, Khaliq et al first used the variational method to investigate the existence of solutions for the
‐Caputo fractional boundary value problem [
17]
this work is novel.…”
