This paper is devoted to studying the existence of solutions of a nonlocal initial value problem involving generalized Katugampola fractional derivative. By using fixed point theorems, the results are obtained in weighted space of continuous functions. Illustrative examples are also given.

A class of impulsive boundary value problems of fractional differential systems is studied. Banach spaces are constructed and nonlinear operators defined on these Banach spaces. Sufficient conditions are given for the existence of solutions of this class of impulsive boundary value problems for singular fractional differential systems in which odd homeomorphism operators (Definition 2.6) are involved. Main results are Theorem 4.1 and Corollary 4.2. The analysis relies on a well known fixed point...

In this paper, we consider the following boundary value problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{D}_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }u\left(t\right)\right)\right)\right)=f(t,u\left(t\right)),t\in [0,T],\hfill \\ u\left(0\right)=u\left(T\right)=0\hfill \\ D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }u\left(0\right)\right)=D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }u\left(T\right)\right)=0,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $0<\alpha \le 1$ and $f:[0,T]\times ℝ\to ℝ$ is a continuous function, $D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }$, $D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }$ are respectively the left and right fractional Riemann–Liouville derivatives and we prove the existence of at least one solution for this problem.

This paper presents several sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one classical solution to impulsive fractional differential equations with a $p$-Laplacian and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our technical approach is based on variational methods. Some recent results are extended and improved. Moreover, a concrete example of an application is presented.

In this article, we study the existence of solutions to systems of conformable fractional differential equations with periodic boundary value or initial value conditions. where the right member of the system is $L_{\alpha }^1$-carathéodory function. We employ the method of solution-tube and Schauder’s fixed-point theorem.

In this paper we consider the existence, multiplicity, and nonexistence of positive solutions to fractional differential equation with integral boundary conditions. Our analysis relies on the fixed point index.

The method uses particle swarm optimization algorithm and operates based on minimizing a general cost function. Minimization of the cost function is carried out subject to the H∞ -norm; this norm is also...

In the first part, we investigate the singular BVP $${\frac{d}{dt}}^c{D}^{\alpha }u+{(a/t)}^c{D}^{\alpha }u=\mathscr{H}u$$ , u(0) = A, u(1) = B, c D α u(t)|t=0 = 0, where $$\mathscr{H}$$ is a continuous operator, α ∈ (0, 1) and a < 0. Here, c D denotes the Caputo fractional derivative. The existence result is proved by the Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative. The second part establishes the relations between solutions of the sequence of problems $${\frac{d}{dt}}^c{D}^{{\alpha }_n}u+{(a/t)}^c{D}^{{\alpha }_n}u=f(t,u{,}^c{D}^{{\beta }_n}u)$$ , u(0) = A, u(1) = B, $${\left.{}^c{D}^{{\alpha }_n}u\left(t\right)\right|}_{t=0}=0$$ where a < 0, 0 < β n ≤ α n < 1, limn→∞ β n = 1, and solutions of u″+(a/t)u′ = f(t, u, u′) satisfying...
