Some remarks on Nagumo's theorem

Thomas Mejstrik (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We provide a simpler proof for a recent generalization of Nagumo’s uniqueness theorem by A. Constantin: On Nagumo’s theorem. Proc. Japan Acad., Ser. A 86 (2010), 41–44, for the differential equation x ' = f ( t , x ) , x ( 0 ) = 0 and we show that not only is the solution unique but the Picard successive approximations converge to the unique solution. The proof is based on an approach that was developed in Z. S. Athanassov: Uniqueness and convergence of successive approximations for ordinary differential equations. Math....

Stability of Caputo fractional differential equations by Lyapunov functions

Ravi P. Agarwal, Donal O'Regan, Snezhana Hristova (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

The stability of the zero solution of a nonlinear nonautonomous Caputo fractional differential equation is studied using Lyapunov-like functions. The novelty of this paper is based on the new definition of the derivative of a Lyapunov-like function along the given fractional equation. Comparison results using this definition for scalar fractional differential equations are presented. Several sufficient conditions for stability, uniform stability and asymptotic uniform stability, based on the new...
