Existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for higher order nonlocal fractional differential equations

By means of a monotone iterative technique, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the positive solutions for a class of higher conjugate-type fractional differential equation with one nonlocal term. In addition, the iterative sequences of solution and error estimation are also given. In particular, this model comes from economics, financial mathematics and other applied sciences, since the initial value of the iterative sequence can begin from an known function, this is simpler and helpful for computation.

Haar wavelet operational matrix of fractional order integration and its applications in solving the fractional order differential equations

Haar wavelet operational matrix has been widely applied in system analysis, system identification, optimal control and numerical solution of integral and differential equations. In the present paper we derive the Haar wavelet operational matrix of the fractional order integration, and use it to solve the fractional order differential equations including the Bagley-Torvik, Ricatti and composite fractional oscillation equations. The results obtained are in good agreement with the existing ones in open literatures and it is shown that the technique introduced here is robust and easy to apply.
