Abstract
This paper investigates the existence and uniqueness of solutions
to rst-order nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs) involving fuzzy dif-
ferential equations and two-point boundary conditions. Some sucient condi-
tions are presented that guarantee the existence and uniqueness of solutions
under the approach of Hukuhara di
erentiability.
