Caputo-Fabrizio type fractional differential equations with non-instantaneous impulses: Existence and stability results

Abstract

In the current article, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the initial value problem for nonlinear implicit fractional differential equations with non-instantaneous impulses, including the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative. This derivative encapsulates non-local and memory-dependent effects in the system's behavior. The problem's complexity arises from its implicit nature, where the relationships between variables are not directly specified. This inherent intricacy is further compounded by the introduction of non-instantaneous impulses, signifying abrupt, intermittent changes within the system at specific junctures, which in turn trigger sudden transitions. At its core, the initial value problem is concerned with deciphering a system's behavior based on its initial conditions, necessitating a solution that adheres to the given equation while considering the presence of non-instantaneous impulses. To derive the existence results, the study leverages established mathematical tools, specifically, the standard Banach's fixed point theorem and Darbo's fixed point theorem connected to Kuratowski's measure of noncompactness (KMN). Furthermore, the Hyers-Ulam stability (HU-stability) of the given problem is discussed, which, in turn, enhances the utility and reliability of these solutions in practical applications. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the discovered results for various values of δ, we construct some examples towards the end. The practical implications of these results extend to a wide range of fields, offering improved modeling, control, and understanding of complex systems.
