Description
Summary:We explore the existence and uniqueness of solutions to nonlinear fractional differential equations (FDEs), defined in the sense of RL-fractional derivatives of order <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>η</mi><mo>∈</mo><mo>(</mo><mn>1</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>2</mn><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>. The nonlinear term is assumed to have a discontinuity at zero. By employing techniques from Lebesgue spaces, including Holder’s inequality, we establish uniqueness theorems for this problem, analogous to Nagumo, Krasnoselskii–Krein, and Osgood-type results. These findings provide a fundamental framework for understanding the properties of solutions to nonlinear FDEs with discontinuous nonlinearities.
