Abstract

This paper contains a Kubiaczyks fixed point theorem for weakly continuous solutions of a Volterra-Stieltjes integral equation in nonreflexive Banach spaces. The Kubiaczyk's fixed point theorem is applied to establish the existence of a solution. A compactness type condition in connection with the weak topology is used. The existence is proved by defining an integral operator F which is shown to be weakly sequentially continuous on a closed, convex, and equicontinuous subset Q of weakly continuous functions Cw. The measure of weak noncompactness β is a crucial tool in this proof.  As an application, the existence of a weakly continuous solution for Cauchy problems in Banach spaces is deduced. It is also shown that a fractional integral equation in the sense of weakly Riemann is a special case of the integral equation of Volterra -Stieltjes type. This leads to the existence of weak solutions in Cw for Cauchy problems involving the fractional Caputo weak derivative.
