A new class of fractional linear continuous-time linear systems described by state equations is introduced. The solution to the state equations is derived using the Laplace transform. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the internal and external positivity of fractional systems. Sufficient conditions are given for the reachability of fractional positive systems.
We introduce fractional-order Bessel functions (FBFs) to obtain an approximate solution for various kinds of differential equations. Our main aim is to consider the new functions based on Bessel polynomials to the fractional calculus. To calculate derivatives and integrals, we use Caputo fractional derivatives and Riemann-Liouville fractional integral definitions. Then, operational matrices of fractional-order derivatives and integration for FBFs are derived. Also, we discuss an error estimate between...
A sufficient condition for the nonexistence of blowing-up solutions to evolution functional-differential equations in Banach spaces with the Riemann-Liouville integrals in their right-hand sides is proved. The linear part of such type of equations is an infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup of linear bounded operators. The proof of the main result is based on a desingularization method applied by the author in his papers on integral inequalities with weakly singular kernels....
Conditions on the unique solvability of linear fractional functional differential equations are established. A pantograph-type model from electrodynamics is studied.
In this paper, generalized boundary value problems for nonlinear fractional Langevin equations is studied. Some new existence results of solutions in the balls with different radius are obtained when the nonlinear term satisfies nonlinear Lipschitz and linear growth conditions. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the results.
A fractional differential controller for incommensurate fractional unified chaotic system is described and proved by using the Gershgorin circle theorem in this paper. Also, based on the idea of a nonlinear observer, a new method for generalized synchronization (GS) of this system is proposed. Furthermore, the GS technique is applied in secure communication (SC), and a chaotic masking system is designed. Finally, the proposed fractional differential controller, GS and chaotic masking scheme are...
MSC 2010: 26A33, 70H25, 46F12, 34K37 Dedicated to 80-th birthday of Prof. Rudolf GorenfloWe propose a generalization of Hamilton’s principle in which the minimization is performed with respect to the admissible functions and the order of the derivation. The Euler–Lagrange equations for such minimization are derived. They generalize the classical Euler-Lagrange equation. Also, a new variational problem is formulated in the case when the order of the derivative is defined through a constitutive equation....
The aim of this paper is to study the stability of fractional differential equations in Hyers-Ulam sense. Namely, if we replace a given fractional differential equation by a fractional differential inequality, we ask when the solutions of the fractional differential inequality are close to the solutions of the strict differential equation. In this paper, we investigate the Hyers-Ulam stability of two types of fractional linear differential equations with Caputo fractional derivatives. We prove that...
In this paper we study the existence of integrable solutions for initial value problem for implicit fractional order functional differential equations with infinite delay. Our results are based on Schauder type fixed point theorem and the Banach contraction principle fixed point theorem.
The purpose of this paper is to study global existence and uniqueness of solutions of initial value problems for nonlinear fractional differential equations. By constructing a special Banach space and employing fixed-point theorems, some sufficient conditions are obtained for the global existence and uniqueness of solutions of this kind of equations involving Caputo fractional derivatives and multiple base points. We apply the results to solve the forced logistic model with multi-term fractional...
