Abstract

This paper is concerned with a class of fractional differential inclusions whose multivalued term depends on lower-order fractional derivative with fractional (non)separated boundary conditions. The cases of convex-valued and non-convex-valued right-hand sides are considered. Some existence results are obtained by using standard fixed point theorems. A possible generalization for the inclusion problem with integral boundary conditions is also discussed. Examples are given to illustrate the results.
