Abstract
In this study, firstly we obtain the existing results for the following three-point boundary value problem
\begin{align*}
    - \nabla^{\mu+1}y(t)=Ay(t)+f(t,y(t)),  \ t \in \mathbb{N}_{a+2}^{b} \\
    y(a+1)=0,\  \   \ y(b)=\delta \nabla y(\nu) \hspace{1cm}
\end{align*}
$0<\mu<1$,  $A:\mathbb{C}(\mathbb{N}_{a+2}^{b},\mathbb{R})\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$, $f:\mathbb{N}_{a+2}^{b}\times \mathbb{R}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$, by using the Brouwer fixed point theorem and the Banach fixed point theorem. Furthermore, we have established the stability of this problem in the sense of Hyers and Ulam.  Examples are given which illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
