A Gronwall inequality for a general Caputo fractional operator

Abstract: In this paper we present a new type of fractional operator, which is a generalization of the Caputo and Caputo--Hadamard fractional derivative operators. We study some properties of the operator, namely we prove that it is the inverse operation of a generalized fractional integral. A relation between this operator and a Riemann--Liouville type is established. We end with a fractional Gronwall inequality type, which is useful to compare solutions of fractional differential equations.
