MSC 2010: 34A08, 34A37, 49N70Here we investigate a problem of approaching terminal (target) set by a system of impulse differential equations of fractional order in the sense of Caputo. The system is under control of two players pursuing opposite goals. The first player tries to bring the trajectory of the system to the terminal set in the shortest time, whereas the second player tries to maximally put off the instant when the trajectory hits the set, or even avoid this meeting at all. We derive...

In this paper, we study the controllability of nonlinear fractional integrodifferential systems with implicit fractional derivative. Sufficient conditions for controllability results are obtained through the notion of the measure of noncompactness of a set and Darbo's fixed point theorem. Examples are included to verify the result.

In this paper we obtain existence conditions and a closed form of the general solution of higher order singular regular boundary value problems. The approach is based on the concept of co-solution of algebraic matrix equations of polynomial type that permits the treatment of the problem without considering an extended first order system as it has been done in the known literature.

This paper considers a method of designing fractional-order observers for continuous-time linear fractional-order systems with unknown inputs. Conditions for the existence of these observers are given. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotical stability of fractional-order observer errors with the fractional order α satisfying 0 < α < 2 are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach, where the...

We use the genus theory to prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the fractional $p$-Kirchhoff problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{\displaystyle -{\left[M\left({\int }_Q{\displaystyle \frac{{|u\left(x\right)-u\left(y\right)|}^p}{{|x-y|}^{N+ps}}}\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y\right)\right]}^{p-1}{(-\Delta )}_p^{s}u=\lambda h(x,u)\text{in}\Omega ,}\hfill \\ u=0\text{on}{ℝ}^N\setminus \Omega ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $\Omega$ is an open bounded smooth domain of ${ℝ}^N$, $p>1$, $N>ps$ with $s\in (0,1)$ fixed, $Q={ℝ}^{2N}\setminus (C\Omega \times C\Omega )$, $\lambda >0$ is a numerical parameter, $M$ and $h$ are continuous functions.

We study the existence and uniqueness of integrable solutions to fractional Langevin equations involving two fractional orders with initial value problems. Our results are based on Schauder's fixed point theorem and the Banach contraction principle fixed point theorem. Examples are provided to illustrate the main results.

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...

This paper discusses the existence of mild solutions for a class of semilinear fractional evolution equations with nonlocal initial conditions in an arbitrary Banach space. We assume that the linear part generates an equicontinuous semigroup, and the nonlinear part satisfies noncompactness measure conditions and appropriate growth conditions. An example to illustrate the applications of the abstract result is also given.
