Solvability of inhomogeneous boundary-value problems for fourth-order differential equations

We consider a Cauchy-type boundary-value problem, a problem with three boundary conditions, and the Dirichlet problem for a general typeless fourth-order differential equation with constant complex coefficients and nonzero right-hand side in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R ² with smooth boundary. By the method of the Green formula, the theory of extensions of differential operators, and the theory of L-traces (i.e., traces associated with the differential operation L), we establish necessary and sufficient (for elliptic operators) conditions of the solvability of each of these problems in the space H ^m (Ω), m ≥ 4.

Bifurcation of positive solutions for a three-point boundary-value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equations

This paper studies the bifurcation of positive solutions for a three-point boundary-value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equations with parameter. Using the topological degree theory and the bifurcation technique, the existence of positive solutions is investigated and some sufficient conditions are obtained. The study of two illustrative examples shows that the obtained new results are effective.

Integral equations and initial value problems for nonlinear differential equations of fractional order

We discuss the solvability of integral equations associated with initial value problems for a nonlinear differential equation of fractional order. The differential operator is the Caputo fractional derivative and the inhomogeneous term depends on the fractional derivative of lower orders. We obtain the existence of at least one solution for integral equations using the Leray–Schauder Nonlinear Alternative for several types of initial value problems. In addition, using the Banach contraction principle, we establish sufficient conditions for unique solutions. Our approach in obtaining integral equations is the “reduction” of the fractional order of the integro-differential equations based on certain semigroup properties of the Caputo operator.     

Positive solutions for Dirichlet problems of singular nonlinear fractional differential equations

In this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for the singular fractional boundary value problem: Dαu(t)+f(t,u(t),Dμu(t))=0, u(0)=u(1)=0, where 1<α<2, 0<μ?α−1, Dα is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, f is a positive Carathéodory function and f(t,x,y) is singular at x=0. By means of a fixed point theorem on a cone, the existence of positive solutions is obtained. The proofs are based on regularization and sequential techniques.     

Solvability to infinite-point boundary value problems for singular fractional differential equations on the half-line

In this paper, we investigate the solvability of infinite-point boundary value problems for a class of higher-order factional differential equations on the half-line involving Riemann–Liouville derivatives. Under a new compactness criterion, some new results are obtained by means of the properties of the Green’s function and some appropriate fixed point theorems on cone.

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.

Positive solutions for multi-point boundary value problems for nonlinear fractional differential equations

The paper studies the problem of existence of positive solution to the following boundary value problem: $D_{0^ + }^\sigma u''(t) - g(t)f(u(t)) = 0$ , t ∈ (0, 1), u″(0) = u″(1) = 0, au(0) ? bu′(0) = Σ _i=1 ^m?2 a _i u(ξ _i ), cu(1) + du′(1) = Σ _i=1 ^m?2 b _i u(ξ _i ), where $D_{0^ + }^\sigma$ is the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order 1 < σ ≤ 2 and f is a lower semi-continuous function. Using Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorems in a cone, the existence of one positive solution and multiple positive solutions for nonlinear singular boundary value problems is established.

Global attractivity for nonlinear fractional differential equations

We present some results for the global attractivity of solutions for fractional differential equations involving Riemann-Liouville fractional calculus. The results are obtained by employing Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem.

Several examples are given to illustrate our main results.     

Singular boundary-value problems for ordinary second-order differential equations

This article gives an exposition of the fundamental results of the theory of boundary-value problems for ordinary second-order differential equations having singularities with respect to the independent variable or one of the phase variables. In particular criteria are given for solvability and unique solvability of two-point boundary-value problems and problems concerning bounded and monotonic solutions. Several specific problems are considered which arise in applications (atomic physics, field theory, boundary-layer theory of a viscous incompressible fluid, etc.)Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Seriya Sovremennye Problemy Matematiki, Noveishie Dostizheniya, Vol. 30, pp. 105–201, 1987.
