In recent years, the fractional partial differential equation of the Boussinesq type has attracted much attention from researchers due to its practical importance. In this paper, we study a non-local problem for the Boussinesq type equation Dtαu(t)+A Dtαu(t)+ν2Au(t) =0, 0<t<T, 1<α<3∕2, where Dtα is the Caputo fractional derivative, and A is an abstract operator. In the classical case, i.e., when α = 2, this problem has been studied previously, and an interesting effect has been discovered: the existence and uniqueness of a solution depend significantly on the length of the time interval and the parameter ν. In this note, we show that in the case of a fractional equation, there is no such effect: a solution of the problem exists and is unique for any T and ν.
