contents This paper addresses the optimal control problem for a class of nonlinear fractional systems involving Caputo derivatives and nonlocal initial conditions. The system is reformulated as an abstract Hammerstein-type operator equation, enabling the application of operator-theoretic techniques. Sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the existence of mild solutions and optimal control-state pairs. The analysis covers both convex and non-convex scenarios through various sets of assumptions on the involved operators. An optimality system is derived for quadratic cost functionals using the Gâteaux derivative, and the connection with Pontryagin-type minimum principles is discussed. Illustrative examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical framework.
