Introduction and preliminaries In recent studies, the theory of fractional differential equations and inclusions has been into the focus of many of them. This is due to its extensive applications in numerous branches of applied sciences such as, physics, economics, and engineering sciences [2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13]. Fractional differential equations and their applications make it possible to find appropriate models for describing real-world problems which cannot be described by using classical integral-order differential equations. Some recent contributions to the subject can be found in [1] and references therein. It has been noticed that most of the work on the topic is based ∗ Corresponding author Email addresses: qutaibeh@just.edu.jo (Qutaibeh Katatbeh), omarimutah1@yahoo.com (Ahmad Al-Omari) Received 2015-08-17 Q. Katatbeh, A. Al-Omari, J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl. 9 (2016), 827–835 828 on Riemann–Liouville and Caputo-type fractional differential equations. However, there are other kinds of fractional derivatives that appears side by side with Riemann–Liouville and Caputo derivatives. The fractional derivative is due to Hadamard who introduced it in 1892 [7], but which differs from the preceding ones, in the sense that the kernel of the integral (in the definition of the Hadamard derivative) contains a logarithmic function of arbitrary exponent. The details and properties of the Hadamard fractional derivative and integral can be found in [4, 6, 9]. In this paper, we study a boundary value problem of Hadamard-type fractional differential inclusions. Our aim is to study the existence and uniqueness of the mild and classical solutions to impulsive nonlocalconditions fractional Cauchy problem on Hadamard-type fractional differential inclusions. Throughout the paper we shall use the notation: Ω = {(t, s) : 1 ≤ s ≤ t ≤ T }, M = sup{kS(t)k , t ∈ [1, T ]}, and X = C([1, T ], R). Dα u(t) + A u(t) = f (t, u(t), u(b1 (t)), . . . , u(br (t))) + Z t Z 1+ f1 (t, s, u(s)) ds + 1 f2 (t, s, u(s)) ds, (1.1) 1 ∆u|tk = Ik (u(t− k )), k = 1, 2, . . . m. u(1) + g(u) = u0 , where t ∈ J \ {t1 , t2 , . . . , tm } ⊆ [1, T ] = J and 1 < t1 < · · · < tm < T where 0 < α ≤ 1. The operator −A generates an analytic compact semigroup (S(t))t≥0 of uniformly bounded linear operators on a Banach space R. Dα is a Hadamard-type fractional derivative operator and f : C([1, T ] × Rr+1 → R, fi : Ω × R → R (i = 1, 2), g : X → R, bi : J → J (i = 1, . . . , r) are function satisfying some assumptions, and u0 ∈ R and − + − ∆u|t=tk = u(t+ k ) − u(tk ), where u(tk ) and u(tk ), represent the right and left limits of u(t) at t = tk ; Ik (k = 1, 2, . . . , m) are functions to be specified later. Definition 1.1 ([9]). The Hadamard derivative of fractional order α for a function g : [1, ∞) → R is defined by n Z t 1 d t n−α−1 g(s) Dα g(t) = t log ds, Γ(n − α) dt s s 1 α ∈ (n − 1, n), n = [α] + 1, where [α] denotes the integer part of the real number α and log(.) = loge (.). Definition 1.2 ([9]). The Hadamard fractional integral of order α for a function g : [1, ∞) → R is defined as 1 I g(t) = Γ(α) for α > 0, provided the integral exists. α Z t 1 t log s α−1 g(s) ds s Let us recall the generalized Gronwall inequality, which can be found in [11], Lemma 1.3. Suppose α > 0, a(t) and u(t) are nonnegative function and locally integrable on 1 ≤ t < T and g(t) is a nonnegative, nondecreasing continuous function defined on 1 ≤ t < T , and g(t) ≤ M (constant).

Main result Theorem 2.1. The integrodifferential evolution impulsive nonlocal Cauchy problem (1.1) has a unique mild solution u, if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) f : J × Rm+1 → R is a continuous function with respect to the first variable in J, fi : Ω × R → R (i = 1, 2) are continuous functions with respect to the first and second variables in Ω; g : X → R, and bi : J → J (i = 1, . . . , m) are continuous functions on J and there exist positive constants L, Li (i = 1, 2) and K such that: ! m X (2.1) kf (s, z0 , z1 , . . . , zm ) − f (s, ze0 , ze1 , . . . , zem )k ≤ L kzi − zei k i=0 for s ∈ J, zi , zei ∈ R (i = 1, 2, . . . , m), kfi (s, τ, z) − fi (s, τ, ze)k ≤ Li (kz − zek) (i = 1, 2) (2.2) for (s, τ ) ∈ Ω, z, ze ∈ R and kg(u) − g(e u)k ≤ K ku − u ek∞ for u, u e ∈ X. (ii) (2.3) M logα T (mL + K)Γ(α + 1) log−α T + L(m + 1) + L1 T + L2 T < 1. Γ(α + 1) (iii) The functions Ik : R → R are continuous and there exists a ρ1 such that kIk (x)k ≤ ρ1 for all x ∈ R and k = 1, . . . , m and u0 ∈ R. Proof. Introduce the operator F : X → X by (F ω)(t) = S(t − 1)u0 − S(t − 1)g(ω) Z t h t 1 + S(t − s)(log )α−1 f (s, ω(s), ω(b1 (s)), . . . , ω(br (s))) Γ(α) 1 s Z s Z 1+ ds + f1 (s, τ, ω(τ )) dτ + f2 (s, τ, ω(τ )) dτ s 1 1 m X + S(t − tk )Ik (ω(t− t ∈ J. k )), k=1 (2.4) Q.

Γ(α + 1) Using the assumption, we get (mL + K)Γ(α + 1) log−α T + L(m + 1) + L1 T + L2 T M logα T < 1. Γ(α + 1) This implies that ||(F ω)(t) − (F ω̂)(t)|| ≤ ||ω − ω̂||∞ and hence F is a contraction on X. The following theorem gives the conditions for the existence of a unique classical solution for fractional implicit nonlocal conditions with fractional order Hadamard-type. Q. Katatbeh, A. Al-Omari, J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl. 9 (2016), 827–835 831 Theorem 2.2. Assume that: (i) R is a reflexive Banach space and u0 ∈ R. (ii) f : J × Rm+1 → R fi : Ω × R → R (i = 1, 2), are continuous function with respect to the second variable in J; g : X → R, bi : J → J (i = 1, . . . , m) are continuous function on J and there exist positive constants C, Ci (i = 1, 2) and K such that: ! m X kf (s, z0 , z1 , . . . , zm ) − f (e s, ze0 , ze1 , . . . , zem )k ≤ C |s − se| + kzi − zei k (2.5) i=0 for s, se ∈ J, zi , zei ∈ R (i = 1, 2, . . . , m), kfi (s, τ, z) − fi (e s, τ, ze)k ≤ Ci (|s − se| + kz − zek) (i = 1, 2) (2.6) for (s, τ ), (e s, τ ) ∈ Ω, z, ze ∈ R and kg(u) − g(e u)k ≤ K ku − u ek∞ for u, u e ∈ X. (2.7) M logα T < 1. (iii) (mC + K)Γ(α + 1) log−α T + C(m + 1) + T (C1 + C2 ) Γ(α + 1) (iv) The functions Ik : R → R are continuous and there exists a ρ1 such that kIk (x)k ≤ ρ1 for all x ∈ R and k = 1, . . . , m. Then the integrodifferential evolution impulsive nonlocal Cauchy problem (1.1) has a unique mild solution u. Moreover, if u0 ∈ D(A), g(u) ∈ D(A), and if there is a positive constant κ such that ku(bi (s)) − u(bi (e s))k ≤ κ ku(s) − u(e s)k for s, se ∈ J (i = 1, . . . , m), (2.8) then u is a unique classical solution to problem (1.1). Proof. Since all the assumptions of Theorem 2.1 are satisfied, it is easy to see that the presented problem possesses a unique mild solution u. Now, we shall show that u is a classical solution to the problem.

Hence u is Lipschitz continuous on J. The Lipschitz continuity of u on J combined with the Lipschitz continuity of f on J × Rm+1 and fi (i = 1, 2) in J imply that the function Z t Z 1+ J 3 t → f (t, u(t), u(b1 (t)), . . . , u(br (t))) + f1 (t, s, u(s)) ds + f2 (t, s, u(s)) ds where Eα is the Mittag-Leffler function defined by Eα (t) = 1 ∞ P 1 is Lipschitz continuous on J. This property of f , together with assumptions and by Theorem 2.1 implies that u is a unique classical solution to the present problem. 3.
