The existence and uniqueness of a local solution is proved for the incomplete Cauchy type problem to multi-term quasilinear fractional differential equations in Banach spaces with Riemann–Liouville derivatives and bounded operators at them. Nonlinearity in the equation is assumed to be Lipschitz continuous and dependent on lower order fractional derivatives, which orders have the same fractional part as the order of the highest fractional derivative. The obtained abstract result is applied to study a class of initial-boundary value problems to time-fractional order equations with polynomials of an elliptic self-adjoint differential operator with respect to spatial variables as linear operators at the time-fractional derivatives. The nonlinear operator in the considered partial differential equations is assumed to be smooth with respect to phase variables.
