On the fractional differential equations with uncertainty

This paper is based on the concept of fuzzy differential equations of fractional order introduced by Agarwal et al. [R.P. Agarwal, V. Lakshmikantham, J.J. Nieto, On the concept of solution for fractional differential equations with uncertainty, Nonlinear Anal. 72 (2010) 2859-2862]. Using this concept, we prove some results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions of fuzzy fractional differential equations.     

Existence and regularity of solutions for evolution equations with Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives

In this paper, we derive the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for inhomogeneous fractional evolution equations in Banach spaces by means of the method of fractional resolvent. Furthermore, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of strong solutions. An example of the fractional diffusion equation is also presented to illustrate our theory.     

Type-2 fuzzy fractional derivatives

In this paper, we introduce two definitions of the differentiability of type-2 fuzzy number-valued functions of fractional order. The definitions are in the sense of Riemann–Liouville and Caputo derivative of order β ∊ (0, 1), and based on type-2 Hukuhara difference and H₂-differentiability. The existence and uniqueness of the solutions of type-2 fuzzy fractional differential equations (T2FFDEs) under Caputo type-2 fuzzy fractional derivative and the definition of Laplace transform of type-2 fuzzy number-valued functions are also given. Moreover, the approximate solution to T2FFDE by a Predictor-Evaluate–Corrector-Evaluate (PECE) method is presented. Finally, the approximate solutions of two examples of linear and nonlinear T2FFDEs are obtained using the PECE method, and some cases of T2FFDEs applications in some sciences are presented.     

Existence of solutions for nonlinear fractional stochastic differential equations

The fractional stochastic differential equations have wide applications in various fields of science and engineering. This paper addresses the issue of existence of mild solutions for a class of fractional stochastic differential equations with impulses in Hilbert spaces. Using fractional calculations, fixed point technique, stochastic analysis theory and methods adopted directly from deterministic fractional equations, new set of sufficient conditions are formulated and proved for the existence of mild solutions for the fractional impulsive stochastic differential equation with infinite delay. Further, we study the existence of solutions for fractional stochastic semilinear differential equations with nonlocal conditions. Examples are provided to illustrate the obtained theory.

On the concept and existence of solution for impulsive fractional differential equations

This paper is motivated from some recent papers treating the problem of the existence of a solution for impulsive differential equations with fractional derivative. We firstly show that the formula of solutions in cited papers are incorrect. Secondly, we reconsider a class of impulsive fractional differential equations and introduce a correct formula of solutions for a impulsive Cauchy problem with Caputo fractional derivative. Further, some sufficient conditions for existence of the solutions are established by applying fixed point methods. Some examples are given to illustrate the results.

Nonnegativity of solutions of nonlinear fractional differential-algebraic equations

Nonlinear fractional differential-algebraic equations often arise in simulating integrated circuits with superconductors. How to obtain the nonnegative solutions of the equations is an important scientific problem. As far as we known, the nonnegativity of solutions of the nonlinear fractional differential-algebraic equations is still not studied. In this article, we investigate the nonnegativity of solutions of the equations. Firstly, we discuss the existence of nonnegative solutions of the equations, and then we show that the nonnegative solution can be approached by a monotone waveform relaxation sequence provided the initial iteration is chosen properly. The choice of initial iteration is critical and we give a method of finding it. Finally, we present an example to illustrate the efficiency of our method.

Generalized Cauchy type problems for nonlinear fractional differential equations with composite fractional derivative operator

This paper is devoted to proving the existence and uniqueness of solutions to Cauchy type problems for fractional differential equations with composite fractional derivative operator on a finite interval of the real axis in spaces of summable functions. An approach based on the equivalence of the nonlinear Cauchy type problem to a nonlinear Volterra integral equation of the second kind and applying a variant of the Banach’s fixed point theorem to prove uniqueness and existence of the solution is presented. The Cauchy type problems for integro-differential equations of Volterra type with composite fractional derivative operator, which contain the generalized Mittag-Leffler function in the kernel, are considered. Using the method of successive approximation, and the Laplace transform method, explicit solutions of the open problem proposed by Srivastava and Tomovski (2009) [11] are established in terms of the multinomial Mittag-Leffler function.     

An extension of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem and its application to nonlocal problems for implicit fractional differential systems with uncertainty

The traditional Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem in Banach spaces does not reproduce the rich and varied forms of operator equations in abstract spaces which are not linear structure. Consequently, its applications to integral equations and differential equations have met many obstacles. The present alternative Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem in generalized semilinear Banach spaces overcomes this deficiency and opens up for profitable investigation such as differential systems with uncertainty. An application to the existence of solutions of nonlocal problems for fuzzy implicit fractional differential systems under Caputo generalized Hukuhara differentiability with demonstrated example is given to validate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

One example is also given by applying mixed solution concept to fuzzy linear differential equations for obtaining their global solutions.

Solutions for the Kirchhoff type equations with fractional Laplacian

Due to the singularity and nonlocality of the fractional Laplacian, the classical tools such as Sturm comparison, Wronskians, Picard--Lindel\"{o}f iteration, and shooting arguments (which are all purely local concepts) are not{\ applicable} when analyzing solutions in the setting of the nonlocal operator $\left( -\Delta \right) ^{s}$. Furthermore, the nonlocal term of the Kirchhoff type equations will also cause some mathematical difficulties. The present work is motivated by the method of semi-classical problems which show that the existence of solutions of the Kirchhoff type equations are equivalent to the corresponding associated fractional differential and algebraic system. In such case, the existence of the fractional Kirchhoff equation can be obtained by using the corresponding fractional elliptic equation. Therefore some qualitative properties of solutions for the associated problems can be inherited. In particular, the classical uniqueness results can be applied to this equation.
