Abstract

The authors employs a hybrid fixed point theorem involving the multiplication of two operators for proving an existence result of locally attractive solutions of a nonlinear quadratic Volterra integral equation of fractional (arbitrary) order. Investigations will be carried out in the Banach space of real functions which are defined, continuous, and bounded on the real half axis + .
