Abstract
Inspired by the paper of Fazli and Nieto in [Open Math. 17 (2019) 499-512], we establish new existence and uniqueness result for a type of fractional Bagley-Torvik differential equation. Reported result not only generalizes previous results but also adopts different technique. We finish this study by concluding remarks which discuss the preference of our theorem compared to previous results. An example is constructed with specific parameters that requires weaker conditions for the existence of a unique solution. Meanwhile, we construct an iterative sequence that converges to the unique solution and can not be commented via the results of Fazli and Nieto.
