A uniqueness criterion for fractional differential equations with Caputo derivative

We investigate the uniqueness of solutions to an initial value problem associated with a nonlinear fractional differential equation of order α∈(0,1). The differential operator is of Caputo type whereas the nonlinearity cannot be expressed as a Lipschitz function. Instead, the Riemann–Liouville derivative of this nonlinearity verifies a special inequality.     

Abstract Cauchy problem for fractional differential equations

In this paper, a generalized Darbo’s fixed-point theorem associated with Hausdorff measure of noncompactness is established. Then we apply this new variant fixed-point theorem to study some fractional differential equations in Banach spaces via the technique of measure of noncompactness. Many novel existence and uniqueness results for solutions are obtained under the more general conditions.     

On the fundamental linear fractional order differential equation

This paper deals with the rational function approximation of the irrational transfer function G(s) = \fracX(s)E(s) = \frac1[(t₀s)^2m + 2z(t₀s)^m + 1]G(s) = \frac{X(s)}{E(s)} = \frac{1}{[(\tau _{0}s)^{2m} + 2\zeta (\tau _{0}s)^{m} + 1]} of the fundamental linear fractional order differential equation (t₀)^2m\fracd^2mx(t)dt^2m + 2z(t₀)^m\fracd^mx(t)dt^m + x(t) = e(t)(\tau_{0})^{2m}\frac{d^{2m}x(t)}{dt^{2m}} + 2\zeta(\tau_{0})^{m}\frac{d^{m}x(t)}{dt^{m}} + x(t) = e(t), for 0<m<1 and 0<ζ<1. An approximation method by a rational function, in a given frequency band, is presented and the impulse and the step responses of this fractional order system are derived. Illustrative examples are also presented to show the exactitude and the usefulness of the approximation method.

Singular perturbation of boundary value problem for a vector fourth order nonlinear differential equation

We study the vector boundary value problem with boundary perturbations: ε~2y~((4))=f(x,y,y″,ε, μ) ( μ<χ<1-μ) y(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-μ)= A_1(ε,μ), y(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-1-μ)=B_1(ε,μ) y″(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-μ)=A_2(ε,μ),y″(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-1-μ)=B_2(ε,μ)where yf, A_j and B_j (j=1,2) are n-dimensional vector functions and ε,μ are two small positive parameters. This vector boundary value problem does not appear to have been studied, although the scalar boundary value problem has been treated. Under appropriate assumptions, using the method of differential inequalities we find a solution of the vector boundary value problem and obtain the uniformly valid asymptotic expansions.

Study on the constitutive equation with fractional derivative for the viscoelastic fluids – Modified Jeffreys model and its application

Based on the classic linear viscoelastic Jeffreys model, a modified Jeffreys model is suggested. The corresponding five-parameter equation with fractional derivatives of different orders of the stress and rate of strain is stated and the characteristic material functions of the linear viscoelasticity theory, such as the dynamic moduli, are derived. The comparison between the measured dynamic moduli of Sesbania gel and xanthan gum and the theoretical predictions of the proposed phenomenological model shows an excellent agreement.

The uniformly convergent difference schemes for a singular perturbation problem of a self-adjoint ordinary differential equation

In this paper, we construct a class of difference schemes with fitted factors for a singular perturbation problem of a self-adjoint ordinary differential equation. Using a different method from [1], by analyzing the truncation errors of schemes, we give the sufficient conditions under which the solution of the difference scheme converges uniformly to the solution of the differential equation. From this we propose several specific schemes under weaker conditions, and give much higher order of uniform convergence, and applying them to example, obtain the numerical results.

A difference method for singular perturbation problem of hyperbolic-parabolic partial differential equation

In this paper we constructed an exponentially fitted difference scheme for singular perturbation problem of hyperbolic-parabolic partial differential equation. Not only do we take a fitting factor in the equation, but also we put one in the approximation of second initial condition. By means of the asymptotic solution of singular perturbation problem we proved the uniform convergence of this scheme with respect to the small parameter.
