Application of generalized differential transform method to multi-order fractional differential equations

In a recent paper [Odibat Z, Momani S, Erturk VS. Generalized differential transform method: application to differential equations of fractional order, Appl Math Comput. submitted for publication] the authors presented a new generalization of the differential transform method that would extended the application of the method to differential equations of fractional order. In this paper, an application of the new technique is applied to solve fractional differential equations of the form y^(μ)(t)=f(t,y(t),y^(β₁)(t),y^(β₂)(t),…,y^(β_n)(t)) with μ>β_n>β_n-1>…>β₁>0, combined with suitable initial conditions. The fractional derivatives are understood in the Caputo sense. The method provides the solution in the form of a rapidly convergent series. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the preciseness and effectiveness of the new generalization.     

Analysis of a system of fractional differential equations

Further we analyze the system , , 0<α<1, and investigate dependence of the solutions on the initial conditions.

Hadamard-type fractional differential equations for the system of integral inequalities on time scales

ABSTRACT

This paper investigates some system of integral inequalities of one independent variable on time scales. The conclusion can be obtained by using Hadamard-type fractional differential equations and Greene's method which bring together and expand some integral inequalities on time scales. The established inequalities give explicit bounds on unknown functions which can be utilized as a key in examining the properties of certain classes of partial dynamic equations and difference equations on time scales. As an application, a system of fractional differential equations is considered to explain the value of our results.     

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.

Utilizing Lyapunov functions, Laplace transforms of fractional derivatives and boundedness of Mittag-Leffler functions, several sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the global ultimate boundedness and the exponential stability of the systems. An example is given to explain the obtained results.

Some new weakly singular integral inequalities of Gronwall-Bellman type are established, which generalized some known weakly singular inequalities and can be used in the analysis of various problems in the theory of certain classes of differential equations, integral equations and evolution equations. Some applications to fractional differential and integral equations are also indicated.     

Ultimate boundedness of impulsive fractional delay differential equations

This paper concerns with the ultimate boundedness problem for impulsive fractional delay differential equations. Based on the impulsive fractional differential inequality, the boundedness of Mittag-Leffler functions, and the successful construction of suitable Lyapunov functionals, some algebraic criteria are derived for testing the global ultimate boundedness of the equations, and the estimations of the global attractive sets are provided as well. One example is also given to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.

Positive solutions of singular Caputo fractional differential equations with integral boundary conditions

In this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions of singular super-linear (or sub-linear) integral boundary value problems for fractional differential equation involving Caputo fractional derivative. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of C³[0, 1] positive solutions are given by means of the fixed point theorems on cones. Our nonlinearity f(t, x) may be singular at t = 0 and/or t = 1.     

Existence, attractiveness and stability of solutions for quadratic Urysohn fractional integral equations

In this paper, existence and attractiveness of solutions for quadratic Urysohn fractional integral equations on an unbounded interval are obtained by virtue of Tichonov fixed point theorem and suitable conjunction of the well known measure ω₀(X) and the spaces C(R⁺). Further, three certain solutions sets X_L,γ, X_1,α and X_{1,(1−(α+v))}, which tending to zero at an appropriate rate t^−ν (ν > 0), ν = γ (or α or 1 − (α + v)) as t → ∞, are introduced and stability of solutions for quadratic Urysohn fractional integral equations are obtained based on these solutions sets respectively by applying Schauder fixed point theorem via some easy checked conditions. An example is given to illustrate the results.

A numerical-analytical solution of multi-term fractional-order differential equations

In this paper, a solution to initial value problems for fractional-order linear commensurate multi-term differential equations with Caputo derivatives is presented. The solution is obtained in the form of a finite sum of the Mittag-Leffler–type functions and the meta-trigonometric cosine function by using a numerical-analytical method. The results of presented numerical experiments show that for high accuracy calculations of these functions, the multi-precision arithmetic must be applied. The approach for solving of the initial value problems for generalized Basset equation, generalized Bagley-Torvik equation, and multi-term fractional equation is demonstrated.
