We examine the condition to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for these contractions. As an application, we look for the solutions to fractional boundary value problems involving a generalized fractional derivative known as the fractional derivative with respect to another function.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBoundary Value ProblemGeneralized Fractional DerivativeFixed PointMeasure Of NoncompactnessArticle10.1186/s13662-021-03456-z2-s2.0-85108147537
