We prove the Ulam-Hyers stability of Cauchy fractional differential equations in the unit disk for the linear and non-linear cases. The fractional operators are taken in sense of Srivastava-Owa operators. 1. Introduction A classical problem in the theory of functional equations is that if a function f approximately satisfies functional equation E, when does there exists an exact solution of E which f approxi- mates. In 1940, Ulam 1, 2 imposed the question of the stability of the Cauchy equation, and in 1941, Hyers solved it 3. In 1978, Rassias 4 provided a generalization of Hyers, theorem by proving the existence of unique linear mappings near approximate additive mappings. The problem has been considered for many different types of spaces see 5–7. The Ulam- Hyers stability of differential equations has been investigated by Alsina and Ger 8 and generalized by Jung 9–11. Recently, Li and Shen 12 have investigated the Ulam-Hyers stability of the linear differential equations of second order, Abdollahpour and Najati 13 have studied the Ulam-Hyers stability of the linear differential equations of third order, and
