Analysis of positive solution and Hyers‐Ulam stability for a class of singular fractional differential equations with p‐Laplacian in Banach space

This paper deals with 2 core aspects of fractional calculus including existence of positive solution and Hyers‐Ulam stability for a class of singular fractional differential equations with nonlinear p‐Laplacian operator in Caputo sense. For these aims, the suggested problem is converted into an integral equation via Green function , for ε∈(n−1,n], where n≥4. Then, the Green function is examined whether it is increasing or decreasing and positive or negative function. After these properties, some classical fixed‐point theorems are used for the existence of positive solution. Hyers‐Ulam stability of the proposed problem is also considered. For the application of the results, an expressive example is included.

Application of homotopy-perturbation method to fractional IVPs

Fractional initial-value problems (fIVPs) arise from many fields of physics and play a very important role in various branches of science and engineering. Finding accurate and efficient methods for solving fIVPs has become an active research undertaking. In this paper, both linear and nonlinear fIVPs are considered. Exact and/or approximate analytical solutions of the fIVPs are obtained by the analytic homotopy-perturbation method (HPM). The results of applying this procedure to the studied cases show the high accuracy, simplicity and efficiency of the approach.     

Existence of positive solutions of nonlinear fractional differential equations

Existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear fractional differential equation D^su(x)=f(x,u(x)), 0<s<1, has been studied (S. Zhang, J. Math. Anal.

The existence of a positive solution for nonlinear fractional differential equations with integral boundary value conditions

In this paper, first, we consider the existence of a positive solution for the nonlinear fractional differential equation boundary value problem where 0≤λ < 1,^CD^α is the Caputo's differential operator of order α, and f:[0,1] × [0,∞)→[0,∞) is a continuous function. Using some cone theoretic techniques, we deduce a general existence theorem for this problem. Then, we consider two following more general problems for arbitrary α, 1≤n < α≤n + 1: Problem 1: where , 0≤λ < k + 1; Problem 2: where 0≤λ≤α and D^α is the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative of order α. For these problems, we give existence results, which improve recent results in the literature. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On solvability of differential equations with the Riesz fractional derivative

We consider the solvability of fractional differential equations involving the Riesz fractional derivative. Our approach basically relies on the reduction of the problem considered to the equivalent nonlinear mixed Volterra and Cauchy-type singular integral equation and on the theory of fractional calculus. By establishing a compactness property of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator on Lebesgue spaces and using the well-known Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, an existence of at least one solution is gleaned. An example is finally included to show the applicability of the theory.
