On the existence of solutions of fractional differential equations in Banach spaces

TL;DR
This work develops a local existence theory for fractional differential equations in Banach spaces by combining measures of non-compactness with Kamke functions of order $\alpha$. It establishes a local solvability result under a Kamke-type bound on the non-compactness measure and a singleton property, and it also provides a Lipschitz-based uniqueness theorem. The results are then specialized to Banach sequence spaces, yielding local solutions for countable systems arising from semi-discretisations of fractional PDEs with a $p$-Laplacian, including an explicit treatment in the space $c_0$. The paper further demonstrates Kamke-function constructions and discusses avenues for extending the framework to broader settings and higher-order fractional dynamics.
Abstract
Utilising the notion of measures of non-compactness and Kamke function of order $α$, we address the question of solvability of fractional differential equations in Banach spaces. In particular, we provide sufficient conditions ensuring the existence of a local solution. Our main existence theorem is then applied on countable systems of fractional differential equations arising from semi-discretisation of fractional PDEs with $p$-Laplacian.
