Abstract
This paper investigates the existence of a positive solution to a general scalar delayed population model of fractional order that is a nonlinear fractional functional differential equation by applying a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type in a cone and the generalization of Gronwall’s lemma for singular kernels, improving previously known results. Further, we show the continuous dependence of the solution on the order and the initial condition of nonlinear fractional functional differential equations and obtain an Mittag-Leffler functional estimate of the solution by virtue of the generalized Gronwall inequality.
