1 Introduction

The area of non-integer-order derivatives and integrals has emerged as important tools in the modeling of many biological phenomena and dynamical systems. The said type of operator is more reliable, and accurate, having a greater degree of freedom and non-locality in nature. Kee** the importance of such a type of differential operator in mind, the model formulated via the aforementioned operators has been investigated from different perspectives. In the previous few decades, the aforesaid area has become very popular, and large numbers of articles and books have been written in this area. Some interesting applications of fractional calculus have been used to study different phenomena and infectious diseases (see [6, 7]). Further, some qualitative results related to fractional differential equations (FDEs) have been derived in [21]. Researchers have studied various results for the existence of solutions to different problems of FDEs, we refer to some papers as [17, 23, 25, 29, 34]).

The analysis of the well-posedness of the model formulated via the fractional differential operator is another key part of the investigation of FDEs. In this regard, monotone iterative techniques [14,15,16,], the topological degree theory [22], the method of successive approximation [32], the fixed point index theory [24], and tools of the fixed point theory [28] have been utilized to obtain the conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solution. For more information, see the recent article cited as [5, 8, 12].

It is evident that many real-world problems modeled via FDEs are nonlinear. Therefore, obtaining the exact solution to such equations is impossible or very difficult. In this respect, various approximate techniques have been established. A good numerical procedure stability is an important aspect. So in such cases, the stability analysis plays a significant role in the investigation. In this connection, many stability concepts such as the Lyapunov stability, exponential stability, the asymptotic stability, and the Mittag-Leffler stability have been discussed [9]. In addition to the above, an interesting type of stability known as the H-U has got considerable attention from researchers. The aforementioned stability had been initiated by Ulam [30]. Later on, it was modified to generalized H-U by Hyers [16]. The said stability has been further expanded to the H-U-Rassias (H-U-R) stability by Rassias [27]. Moreover, results related to such types of stability have been derived for ordinary differential equations as well as for FDEs (for more detail see [4, 9, 11, 20, 25]).

It is remarkable that the fractional differential operator is not a unique definition. The first definition given by Riemann-Liouville has been very well used. After that, Hadamard, Hilfer, and Caputo defined the said derivative in their own way. It is remarkable that concepts of long and short memory terms are explained well using fractional derivatives. Due to this importance, researchers have worked very well in the said area from different aspects. The reader should see details in [10]. Furati et al. [13] studied a class of Hilfer FDEs with the initial condition for the existence theory using the fixed point theory. The said problem is described by

$$\left\{ \begin{aligned} \begin{aligned}&D_{a}^{\alpha ,\beta }{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)=f_1(t,{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)),\\ {}&I_{a}^{1-\gamma }{\mathbb {V}}_1(a^+) ={\mathbb {V}}_a. \end{aligned} \end{aligned}\right.$$
(1)

Here, \({\mathbb {V}}_a\) and \(a<b\in {\mathbf{R}}\), \(t\in (a,b],\) and the function \(f_1{:\,}(a,b]\,\times {\bf{R}} \mapsto {\bf{R}}\) is weighted continuously. The positive real numbers \(\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma\) should be chosen as \(0<\alpha <1\), \(\beta \in [0,1]\), and \(\gamma =\alpha +\beta -\alpha \beta\). Furthermore, \(D_{a}^{\alpha ,\beta }\) and \(I_{a}^{1-\gamma }\) represent the Hilfer fractional derivative and the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order \(\alpha\), type \(\beta\) and \(1-\gamma\), respectively. Via the fixed point theory, the aforesaid problem has been investigated.

Wang and Zhang [33] have analyzed the FDEs with the initial condition on the variables as

$$\left\{\begin{aligned} \begin{aligned}&D_{a}^{\alpha ,\beta }{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)=f_1(t,{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)),\\ {}&I_{a}^{1-\gamma }{\mathbb {V}}_1(a^+) =\sum _{i=1}^{m}b_i{\mathbb {V}}_1(\sigma _i). \end{aligned}\end{aligned}\right.$$
(2)

Here, \(a,b,b_i\,(i=1,2, \cdots ,m\in N)\), \(t\in (a,b],\) and the domain of the unknown functions is (ab], while the nonlinear function \(f_1{:}\,(a,b]\,\times (-\infty ,\infty ) \times \mapsto (-\infty ,\infty )\) falls in \(C_{1-\gamma }[a,b]\), which is the weighted space of the continuous function on the interval [ab]. The aforementioned FDEs utilized Hilfer fractional derivatives of order \(0<\alpha <1\) and type \(\beta \in [0,1]\) symbolized as \(D_{a}^{\alpha ,\beta }\). The parameter \(\gamma =\alpha +\beta -\alpha \beta \in [\alpha ,1).\) Furthermore, the arbitrary constant should be fixed in such a way that \(\Gamma (\gamma )-\sum _{i+1}^{m}b_i(\sigma _i-a)^{\gamma -1}\ne 0\). In this regard, the authors gave some assumptions on the given function and then converted the FDE containing Hilfer derivative into an integral equation. Furthermore, they have also shown that the obtained integral equation is equivalent to the underlying FDE. The qualitative aspects have been investigated using the fixed point theory as a strong tool. Afterward, conditions for the existence of a solution have been developed with the help of three well-known fixed point theorems of Krasnoselskii, Schauder, and Schaefer. Further, the required theory has been developed in the weighted space \(C_{1-\gamma }^{\alpha ,\beta }.\)

In the same fashion, Kamocki and Obczynski [18] in 2016 have investigated some linear and nonlinear FDEs under the Hilfer derivative with homogenous and inhomogeneous initial conditions as

$$\begin{aligned}&D_{a}^{\alpha ,\beta }{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)=f_1(t,{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)), \end{aligned}$$
(3)
$$\begin{aligned}&I_{a}^{1-\gamma }{\mathbb {V}}_1(a^+) =0, \end{aligned}$$
(4)
$$\begin{aligned}&I_{a}^{1-\gamma }{\mathbb {V}}_1(a^+) =b_a, \end{aligned}$$
(5)

and

$$\begin{aligned}&D_{a}^{\alpha ,\beta }{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)=A{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)+g(t), \end{aligned}$$
(6)
$$\begin{aligned}&I_{a}^{1-\gamma }{\mathbb {V}}_1(a^+) =0, \end{aligned}$$
(7)
$$\begin{aligned}&I_{a}^{1-\gamma }{\mathbb {V}}_1(a^+) =b_a. \end{aligned}$$
(8)

Here \(t\in [a,b]\), where \(a<b\in {\bf{R}},\) the function \(f_1{:}\,[a,b]\times {\bf{R}}^n\mapsto {\bf{R}}^n,\) \(A\in {\bf{R}}^{n\times n},\) and \(g(t)\in I_{a}^{\beta (1-\alpha )(L^1)}\). The arbitrary constants \(b_a\ne 0 \in {\bf{R}}^n\). Authors have analyzed the nonlinear problem (3) with the homogenous initial condition (4) and also with the inhomogeneous initial condition (5). Furthermore, the criteria for the uniqueness of the solution for the linear problem (6) have been obtained under the homogenous initial condition (7) and the inhomogeneous condition (8). Further, the required analysis has been developed with the help of the Banach contraction principle under the Bielecki norm in the space \(I_{a}^{\alpha }(L^1([a,b]), {\bf{R}}^n)\).

Subsequently, the qualitative aspect of boundary value problems (BVPs) formulated via the Hifer fractional derivative has been investigated recently. For instance, Abdo et al. [

$$\left\{\begin{aligned} \begin{aligned}&D_{a}^{\alpha ,\beta }{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)=f_1(t,{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)),\\ {}&I_{a}^{1-\gamma }[g_1{\mathbb {V}}_1(a^+)+g_2{\mathbb {V}}_1(b^-)] =g_3. \end{aligned} \end{aligned}\right.$$
(9)

Here, \(g_i\,(i=1,2,3)\in {\bf{R}}\), \(t\in (a,b],\) and the nonlinear function \(f_1{:}\,(a,b]\,\times {\bf{R}} \mapsto {\bf{R}}\in\) \(C_{1-\gamma }[a,b]\), \(0<\alpha <1,\) and type \(\beta \in [0,1]\) represents as \(D_{a}^{\alpha ,\beta }\). The parameter \(\gamma _1=\alpha +\beta -\alpha \beta \in [\alpha ,1).\)

Motivated by the established work discussed above, in this manuscript, we present some novel results for multi-term Hilfer FDEs under some general boundary conditions based on fractional integral operators and nonlocal points. To the best of our knowledge, no contribution to the formulation of a coupled system of FDEs with multi-term fractional differential operators exists. As a result, the first innovative component of our study is the construction of FDE with multi-term fractional differential operators. The second unique element of the newly formulated model is the investigation of H-U-type stabilities. Furthermore, the auxiliary conditions imposed on the considered model are in the form of a fractional integral. Also, a proportional type delay term in the newly constructed coupled system of n-fractional differentiation operators is also involved. Our considered problem is given as

$$\left\{ \begin{aligned} \begin{aligned}&\sigma _1D_{a}^{\alpha _1,\beta _1}{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)+\sum _{i=2}^{n}\sigma _iI_{a}^ {\psi _i}D_{a}^{\alpha _i,1-\beta _1}{\mathbb {V}}_1(t)=f_1(t,{\mathbb {V}}_1(t),{\mathbb {V}}_1(\lambda _1 t)),\\ {}&a_1I_{a}^{q_1}{\mathbb {V}}_1(a^+) =a_2+a_3\sum _{j=1}^{m_1}\eta _j{\mathbb {V}}_1(\tau _j) +a_4\sum _{l=1}^{m_2}\kappa _lI_{a}^{p_l}{\mathbb {V}}_1(\zeta _l). \end{aligned} \end{aligned}\right.$$
(10)

In the considered problem (10), arbitrary constants \(a_1, a_2,a_3,a_4,\sigma _i,\eta _j,\kappa _l \in {\bf{R}},\, \tau _j,\zeta _l\in (1,\tau ]\) for \(i=1,2,\cdots ,n,\, j=1,2,\cdots ,m_1,\,\) and \(l=1,2,\cdots ,m_2,\,\) together with \(q_1,p_l \,(l=1,2,\cdots ,m_2)\) are taken from the set of positive real numbers and \(\sigma _1\ne 0\). Arbitrary constants should be chosen as

$$\begin{aligned} a_1\mathfrak {A}(q_1)-a_3\sum _{j=1}^{m_1}\eta _j(\tau _j-a)^{\gamma _1-1}\ne \frac{a_4\Gamma (\gamma _1)}{\Gamma (\gamma _1+p_l)}\sum _{l=1}^{m_2}\kappa _l(\zeta _l-a)^{\gamma _1+p_l-1}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(\gamma _1=\alpha _1+\beta _1-\alpha _1\beta _1\geqslant 1-q_1\), \(\psi _i=2\beta _1+\alpha _i-1-\beta _1(\alpha _1+\alpha _i)>0,\) and \(\phi _i=\alpha _1+2\beta _1-\beta _1(\alpha _1+\alpha _i)-1>0\). In addition, \(D_{a}^{\alpha _i,\beta _1}\) represent Hilfer fractional derivatives of order \(0<\alpha _i<1\), and type \(0\leqslant \beta _1\leqslant 1 \,(i=1,2, \cdots,n).\) Furthermore, the nonlinear function \(f_1{:}\,(a,\tau ]\times {\mathbf{R}} \times {\mathbf{R}} \mapsto {\bf{R}}\) is weighted continuously. Via fixed point approach the required results will be investigated. For this purpose, some growth conditions are imposed on nonlinear functions known as data dependence results. Also using the powerful tools of the nonlinear functional analysis, sufficient results are established for different kinds of H-U stabilities. A different form of stabilities is generalized H-U (g-H-U), H-U-Rassia (H-U-R), and generalized (g-H-U-R).
