Mild solutions for fractional differential equations with nonlocal conditions.
In this paper we are concerned with sufficient conditions for the existence of minimal and maximal solutions of differential equations of the form where is the iterated linear differential operator of order and is a continuous function.
We consider Sturm-Liouville problems with a boundary condition linearly dependent on the eigenparameter. We study the case of decreasing dependence where non-real and multiple eigenvalues are possible. By determining the explicit form of a biorthogonal system, we prove that the system of root (i.e. eigen and associated) functions, with an arbitrary element removed, is a minimal system in L₂(0,1), except for some cases where this system is neither complete nor minimal.
In this paper we study the minimax control of systems governed by a nonlinear evolution inclusion of the subdifferential type. Using some continuity and lower semicontinuity results for the solution map and the cost functional respectively, we are able to establish the existence of an optimal control. The abstract results are then applied to obstacle problems, semilinear systems with weakly varying coefficients (e.gȯscillating coefficients) and differential variational inequalities.
A minimum energy control problem for fractional positive continuous-time linear systems with bounded inputs is formulated and solved. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the problem are established. A procedure for solving the problem is proposed and illustrated with a numerical example.
We consider a class of differential inclusions in (nonseparable) Banach spaces satisfying mixed type semicontinuity hypotheses and prove the existence of solutions for a problem with state constraints. The cases of dissipative type conditions and with time lag are also studied. These results are then applied to control systems.
