Abstract
In this paper, using properties of Mittag–Leffler functions, a weighted norm, and the Banach fixed point theorem, we establish a rigorous theorem on the existence and uniqueness of global solutions to delay fractional differential equations under a mild Lipschitz condition. Then, we provide a sufficient condition which guarantees these solutions to be exponentially bounded. Our theorems fill the gaps and also strengthen results in some existing papers.
