Two-term semi-linear and two-term nonlinear fractional differential equations (FDEs) with sequential Caputo derivatives are considered. A unique continuous solution is derived using the equivalent norms/metrics method and the Banach theorem on a fixed point. Both, the unique general solution connected to the stationary function of the highest order derivative and the unique particular solution generated by the initial value problem, are explicitly constructed and proven to exist in an arbitrary...

In the present paper the author discusses certain multiple integrals $I(u)$ of the calculus of variations satisfying convexity conditions, and no growth property, and the corresponding Serrin integrals $\Im (u)$, to which the existence theorems in [3,4,5] do not apply. However, in the present paper, the integrals $I(u)$ and $\Im (u)$ are reduced to simpler form $H(v)$ and $\mathscr{H}(v)$ to which the existence theorems above apply. Thus, we derive that $I(u)\le \Im (u)$, $H(v)\le \mathscr{H}(v)$, we obtain the existence of the absolute minimum for the Serrin forms $\Im (u)$ and $\mathscr{H}(v)$, and...

Motivated by Vityuk and Golushkov (2004), using the Schauder Fixed Point Theorem and the Contraction Principle, we consider existence and uniqueness of positive solution of a singular partial fractional differential equation in a Banach space concerning with fractional derivative.

We study the existence of mild solutions for a class of impulsive fractional partial neutral integro-differential inclusions with state-dependent delay. We assume that the undelayed part generates an α-resolvent operator and transform it into an integral equation. Sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions are derived by means of the fixed point theorem for discontinuous multi-valued operators due to Dhage and properties of the α-resolvent operator. An example is given to illustrate the...

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.
