Abstract:
In this paper, our focus is on a specific class of non-linear ψ-Hilfer fractional generalized double phase-Choquard differential equations involving the p-Laplacian operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The equation is given by:
![]() |
with ℒγ,β;ψ is defined as:

where ????Tγ,β;ψ and ????0+γ,β;ψ are ψ-Hilfer fractional derivatives of order
< γ < 1
and type 0 ≤ β ≤ 1 and a(⋅) is non-negative weight function, and G(⋅) represents
Choquard nonlinearities satisfying a certain growth conditions. By employing the
mountain pass theorem without the Palais-Smale condition, along with the
Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, we establish the existence of a weak solution to
the aforementioned problem. Our main results are novel and contribute to the
literature on problems involving ψ-Hilfer derivatives with the p-Laplacian operator.
This investigation enhances the scope of understanding in this specific class of
problems.
Keywords:
