Abstract

We develop the theory of hybrid fractional differential equations with the complex order $\theta\in \mathbb{C}$, $\theta=m+i\alpha$, $0<m\leq 1$, $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$, in Caputo sense. Using Dhage's type fixed point theorem for the product of abstract nonlinear operators in Banach algebra; one of the operators is $\mathfrak{D}$- Lipschitzian and the other one is completely continuous, we prove the existence of mild solutions of initial value problems for hybrid fractional differential equations. Finally, an application to solve one-variable linear fractional Schr\"odinger equation with complex order is given.
