A fully Hadamard type integral boundary value problem of a coupled system of fractional differential equations

This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a coupled system of Hadamard type fractional differential equations and integral boundary conditions. We emphasize that much work on fractional boundary value problems involves either Riemann-Liouville or Caputo type fractional differential equations. In the present work, we have considered a new problem which deals with a system of Hadamard differential equations and Hadamard type integral boundary conditions. The existence of solutions is derived from Leray-Schauder’s alternative, whereas the uniqueness of solution is established by Banach’s contraction principle. An illustrative example is also included.

A Study of Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations of Arbitrary Order with Riemann-Liouville Type Multistrip Boundary Conditions

We develop the existence theory for nonlinear fractional differential equations of arbitrary order with Riemann-Liouville type boundary conditions involving nonintersecting finite many strips of arbitrary length. Our results are based on some standard tools of fixed point theory. For the illustration of the results, some examples are also discussed.

Positive solutions for systems of m‐point nonlinear boundary value problems

Abstract Positive solutions (u(t), v(t)) are sought for the nonlocal (m‐point) nonlinear system of boundary value problems, u” + λa(t)f(v) = 0, v” + λb(t)g(u) = 0, for 0 < t < 1, and satisfying, u(0) = 0, u(1) = . An application of a Guo‐Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem yields sufficient values of λ for which such positive solutions exist.

On initial and boundary value problems for fractional order mixed type functional differential inclusions

Abstract In this paper we prove some existence results for initial and boundary value problems for functional differential inclusions of fractional order with both retarded and advanced arguments. The Banach fixed point theorem, the nonlinear alternative of the Leray–Schauder type and the Covitz–Nadler fixed point theorem are the main tools in deriving our proofs.

Quantum calculus on finite intervals and applications to impulsive difference equations

In this paper we initiate the study of quantum calculus on finite intervals. We define the qk-derivative and qk-integral of a function and prove their basic properties. As an application, we prove existence and uniqueness results for initial value problems for first- and second-order impulsive qk-difference equations.MSC:26A33, 39A13, 34A37.

Existence results for nonlocal boundary value problems of nonlinear fractional q-difference equations

In this paper, we study a nonlinear fractional q-difference equation with nonlocal boundary conditions. The existence of solutions for the problem is shown by applying some well-known tools of fixed-point theory such as Banach’s contraction principle, Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorem, and the Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative. Some illustrating examples are also discussed.MSC:34A08, 39A05, 39A12, 39A13.

Controllability of semilinear differential equations and inclusions via semigroup theory in banach spaces

Control problems appear in many branches of physics and technical science. In this paper we investigate the controllability of semilinear differential equations and inclusions via the semigroup theory in Banach spaces. All results are obtained by using fixed point theorems both for single and multivalued mappings.

A study of second-order q-difference equations with boundary conditions

This paper studies a boundary value problem of nonlinear second-order q-difference equations with non-separated boundary conditions. As a first step, the given boundary value problem is converted to an equivalent integral operator equation by using the q-difference calculus. Then the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the problem is proved via the resulting integral operator equation by means of Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative and some standard fixed point theorems. Our approach is simpler than the one involving the typical series solution form of q-difference equations. The results corresponding to a second-order q-difference equation with anti-periodic boundary conditions appear as a special case. Furthermore, our results reduce to the corresponding results for classical second-order boundary value problems with non-separated boundary conditions in the limit q → 1, which provides a useful check.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 39A05, 39A13.

Existence results for a coupled system of Caputo type sequential fractional differential equations with nonlocal integral boundary conditions

This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a coupled system of Caputo type sequential fractional differential equations supplemented with nonlocal Riemann-Liouville integral boundary conditions. The existence of solutions is derived by applying Leray-Schauders alternative, while the uniqueness of solution is established via Banachs contraction principle. An illustrative example is also included. The paper concludes with some interesting observations.
