Abstract
The study is being applied to a model involving silane and on cyclopentasilane graph. We consider a graph with labeled vertices by 0 or 1 inspired by the molecular structure of cyclopentasilane. In this paper, we first study the existence of solutions to fractional conformable boundary value problem on the cyclopentasilane graph by applying Scheafer and Krasnoselskii fixed point theorems. Furthermore, we investigate different kinds of Ulam stability such as Ulam-Hyers stable, generalized Ulam-Hyers stable, Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stable and generalized Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stable for the given problem. Finally, we give an example to support our important results.

1. Introduction
Silane is the general term for a series of compounds, namely silicon and hydrogen compounds. As a gas source providing silicon components, it can be used to make a range of silicon-containing substances such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, metal silicide, silicon oxide and other silicon-containing substances. Because silane can achieve the highest purity, the most refined control, and the most flexible chemical reactions, it has become an important special gas that many other silicon sources cannot replace. Silane is the only intermediate product in the world to produce massively granular high purity silicon, which is widely used in microelectronics and optoelectronics industry [1], [2], specifically it is used for the manufacture of solar cells, flat-panel displays and so on [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Silane is also constantly appearing in high-tech applications, so silane has become the object of our attention.
As we all know, cyclopentasilane is a compound of silicon (Si) and hydrogen (H) with the chemical formula (see Fig. 1). Cyclopentasilane can be used as a liquid silicon ink for printing silicon structures on integrated circuits or solar cells [8]. In 2016, Li et al. [9] examined the impact of ring conformation on the charge transport characteristics of cyclicpentasilane structures bound to gold electrodes in single molecule junctions. In 2021, Gerwig et al. [10] studied as an liquid precursor for the deposition of thin silicon films for printed electronics and related applications. The molecular structure of cyclopentasilane is a ring composed of five silicon atoms, which connect to two hydrogen atoms. In this paper, we research a class of integral-differential system involving fractional conformable derivatives on cyclopentasilane graph, which is a more common graph than a star graph.

The cyclopentasilane graph is composed of 15 points and 15 edges.
For the past few years, fractional calculus has been widely put into use in chemistry, physics, biology, control, economics, aerodynamics and other fields. It is very suitable for describing materials and processes with memory and genetic characteristics, which has attracted increasing interest from researchers. Up to now, it has derived several results in many areas [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. In 2017, Jarad et al. [19] came up with a new fractional derivative called the fractional conformable derivative, which is given in (2.1). Some recent studies can be read in [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29].
One integral part of the qualitative theory of linear and nonlinear differential equations is the stability analysis proposed by Ulam [30] and Hyers [31], known as Ulam-Hyers stability. Ulam-Hyers stability can be defined as an exact solution near the approximate solution for a fractional differential equation that minimizes the error. Furthermore, the analysis of Ulam-Hyers and Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability for nonlinear fractional differential equations has become a hot research topic, making it one of the most significant subjects in mathematical analysis. The development of the stability theory for Ulam-Hyers and Ulam-Hyers-Rassias of fractional differential equations can be found in [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41].
On the other side, chemical graph theory [42], [43], [44] is a mathematical branch of studying the interaction of chemical networks, which can indicate any abstract or practical chemical system (i.e., molecular transformation in chemical reactions). In other words, chemical graph theory pays attention to every element of graph theory applied in chemistry. However, we concentrate on networks composed of line connection points. This network structure can be found in many real buildings in our surroundings. Given the graph structure of these networks, many researchers have studied the mathematical models on graphs, which are depicted by ordinary or fractional differential equations. Recently, there have been many theoretical and practical developments in fractional differential equations on graphs [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52].
In 1980, Lumer [53] first put forward the differential equation theory on the graph, and used local operators defined on branching spaces to study general evolution equations. Nicaise [54] investigated the propagation of nerve impulses by using a similar construct. In 1989, the boundary value problem of linear differential equations on geometric graph was studied by Zavgorodnii et al. [55], and the solutions to the problem on above graph were coordinated over internal vertices. They yielded a self-adjoint criterion by constructing an adjoint boundary value problem. In 2008, Gordeziani et al. [56] adopted a double-scan method to obtain the existence and uniqueness of solutions to ordinary differential equations on graph and proposed a numerical method. In 2014, Graef et al. [45] first explored the existence and uniqueness results on the three-vertex-star graph (see Fig. 2) by using fixed point theory. The system of nonlinear differential equations defined on any edge is as follows:
where and , with on and , . and denote Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives. In 2020, Etemad et al. [46] studied the fractional boundary value problem on the ethane graph and obtained the existence of the solution. The equation system is as follows:
where , is the Caputo fractional derivative and functions , . Also they used 0 or 1 to mark the vertices of the ethane graph. The graph representation of the ethane compound has 7 edges with .

In 2022, Rezapour et al. [47] discussed the fractional multi-dimensional system of boundary value problems by using fixed point technique on the methylpropane graph and got the existence results:
where and are the Caputo fractional derivatives of orders and , respectively. , , in which represents the total number of edges of methylpropane graph with . Further, they also studied the Ulam-Hyers type stability for a special case of this multi-dimensional system.
The fixed point theorem is a very classic and excellent tool. When studying the qualitative theoretical problem of differential equations, the fixed point theorem is often used to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions. The method is a popular and effective tool, so we apply the fixed point theorem for our study. Furthermore, the research on graphs is mostly based on Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivatives, whereas fractional conformable derivative can contain both of these derivatives. Inspired by this, we apply fractional conformable derivative to graphs, which will provide a new perspective for studying fractional differential equations on graphs. We investigate the stability and existence results of the following fractional integral-differential boundary value problem:
| (1.1) |
in which , , , , , . When , . and are the fractional conformable derivatives of Riemann-Liouville type of order β and , α represents a free index. The cyclopentasilane graph has 15 edges with . The integral boundary condition can be interpreted as the continuous distribution of the unknown function value on [0,1], and the fractional conformable derivative value of the unknown function at 1 is proportional to the integral boundary condition. It should be noted that the solutions of fractional boundary value problem (1.1) can be explained by diverse actual meanings of inorganic chemistry. That is, each solution on any edge can represent the specific bond energy, bond polarity and bond strength etc. Our conclusions can provide theoretical support in terms of chemical reaction theory.
The rest of the article is arranged as follows. In Section 2, we first present graph representation of the cyclopentasilane molecule and mark its vertices by 0 or 1. Furthermore, some relevant knowledge on fractional calculus is reviewed. In Section 3, we give the existence results to fractional boundary value problem (1.1) by applying known Scheafer and Krasnoselskii fixed point theorems. In Section 4, we consider the Ulam stability for the system (1.1). In Section 5, we give an example to illustrate the validity of our results.
2. Preliminaries
Here, we introduce a new fractional differential system model on the cyclopentasilane graph. From the molecular structure graph of cyclopentasilane, the silicon and hydrogen atoms are taken as the vertices of this graph and the edges of this graph are the chemical bonds between the atoms. In addition, the cyclopentasilane graph contains more knots and has a more general structure than the star graph. To investigate the stability and existence results of fractional boundary value problem (1.1), we think the length of each edge as unit length and label vertices of the cyclopentasilane graph with 0 or 1. On this condition, we establish a local coordinate system on this cyclopentasilane graph, so that the interval between each edge of the graph is the unit length. The label of each vertex is obtained according to the orientation of corresponding edge. The start vertex is marked as 0 and the end vertex is marked as 1, when we move along the edge, and vice versa. So, a vertex may have two labels 0 and 1 at the same time. The origin of each edge is not certain, and it changes correspondingly when the orientation of moving along the edge changes.
According to this rule, we are free to determine any one of two vertices of the corresponding edge as the origin. Fig. 3 is a possible labeling case of cyclopentasilane graph. Now, we recall some related knowledge needed in our proofs later.

3. Existence
In this part, we demonstrate the existence results on the cyclopentasilane graph. Therefore, we take into account the Banach spaces with the norm for , . It should be noted that the product space equipped with the norm is a Banach space.

So we can get that satisfy the problem (3.1). □
Based on Theorem 3.1, we define the operator as follows:

Theorem 3.2
Suppose thatsatisfy the condition, whereare positive constants for alland. Then the fractional boundary value problem(1.1)has a solution on the cyclopentasilane graph.
Proof
According to definition of the operator Ψ, we will prove that the fractional boundary value problem (1.1) has a solution if and only if Ψ has a fixed point on the product space .
Firstly, we demonstrate that the operator Ψ is completely continuous. Because of the continuity of the functions , we know that the operator is continuous.
Assume that is a bounded subset of and . Then we have
for each , where is defined in (3.4). Also, we have

Assume that and with . Then we have
Letting , the right-hand side of the inequality converges to 0.
Analogously, we have
Again, letting , the right-hand side of the inequality converges to 0. As a result, as , which implies that Ψ is an equicontinuous operator on the product space . Because of Lemma 2.5, we deduce that Ψ is a completely continuous operator.
Here, thinking about the subset
of . We show that Ω is a bounded set. Assume that , then and for all and . Therefore,
and
This means that , so Ω is bounded. Now, based on Lemma 2.3 and Theorem 3.1, the operator Ψ has a fixed point in , which is a solution to the fractional boundary value problem (1.1) on the cyclopentasilane graph. □
Next, we recall the fractional boundary value problem (1.1) with diverse conditions.

Proof
Suppose and take an appropriate constant that satisfy the condition
(3.5) where are given in (3.4). Take into account the set , where are defined in equation (3.5). It can be found that is closed, bounded, convex and nonempty subset on the product Banach space . Next, define the operators and on by
where
and
for all and .
Let , then for any , , we have
and
This means , so and . Furthermore, because of the continuity of functions , we can get the continuity of .
Now, we prove that the operator is uniformly bounded. Therefore, it should be noted that
and
for all u in . So, . This shows that the operator is uniformly bounded on .
Now, we demonstrate that the operator is compact on . Assume that with . Then we have
Hence, letting , the right-hand side of the inequality converges to 0. And we have
and letting , the right-hand side of the inequality converges to 0. As a result, tends to zero as . Then is equicontinuous. Further we get that is a relatively compact operator on . Because of Lemma 2.5, we deduce that the operator is compact on .
Next, we show that the operator is a contraction. Assume that , then we have
and
Thus, we get , and . Since , is a contraction on . Now, based on Lemma 2.4, we deduce that the operator Ψ has a fixed point, which is a solution of the fractional boundary value problem (1.1) on the cyclopentasilane graph. □

6. Conclusion
Chemical graph theory is a multidisciplinary field that applies theoretical and practical techniques to analyze the molecular structure graphs of chemical substances, while considering specific mathematical problems. Over the past few decades, significant advancements in this field have provided us with numerous groundbreaking and unique ideas and methods. In this paper, we employ the structural graph of cyclopentasilane to define boundary value problem in the sense of Riemann-Liouville fractional conformable derivative on its edges. We utilize Scheafer and Krasnoselskii fixed point theorems to prove the existence of solutions to the proposed boundary value problem. Additionally, stability analysis of different types on cyclopentasilane graph is investigated. To showcase the significance of our results, we provide an example. Our approach is easy to implement and can be applied to a wide range of graphs, particularly directed graphs, which are commonly used in medical technologies for protein networks. The paper mainly focuses on theoretical research, which leads to the lack of numerical analysis in the research. In the future, we will consider using numerical methods to solve more problems on graphs with different molecular structures.
