Résumé

In this paper, we consider a boundary value problem for differential equations of Langevin type with the Caputo fractional derivative in a Banach space. It is assumed that the nonlinear part of the equation is a Caratheodory type map. Equations of this type generalize equations of motion in various kinds of media, for example, viscoelastic media or in media where a drag force is expressed using a fractional derivative. We will use the theory of fractional mathematical analysis, the properties of the Mittag–Leffler function, as well as the theory of measures of non-compactness and condensing operators to solve the problem. The initial problem is reduced to the problem of the existence of fixed points of the corresponding resolving integral operator in the space of continuous functions. We will use Sadovskii type fixed point theorem to prove the existence of fixed points of the resolving operator. We will show that the resolving integral operator is condensing with respect to the vector measure of non-compactness in the space of continuous functions and transforms a closed ball in this space into itself.
