In this paper, we consider a pseudo-parabolic equation with the Caputo fractional derivative. We study the existence and uniqueness of a class of mild solutions of these equations. For a nonlinear problem, we first investigate the global solution under the initial data u0 ∈ L2. In the case of initial data u0 ∈ Lq, q ≠ 2, we obtain the local existence result. Our main tool here is using fundamental tools, namely, Banach fixed point theorem and Sobolev embeddings. In addition, we give an example to illustrate the effectiveness of the method has been proposed.
