Study on fractional non-autonomous evolution equations with delay

Abstract

In this paper, we deal with a class of nonlinear time fractional non-autonomous evolution equations with delay by introducing the operators ψ(t,s), φ(t,η) and U(t), which are generated by the operator −A(t) and probability density function. The definition of mild solutions for studied problem was given based on these operators. Combining the techniques of fractional calculus, operator semigroups, measure of noncompactness and fixed point theorem with respect to k-set-contractive, we obtain new existence result of mild solutions with the assumptions that the nonlinear term satisfies some growth condition and noncompactness measure condition and the closed linear operator −A(t) generates an analytic semigroup for every t>0. The results obtained in this paper improve and extend some related conclusions on this topic. At last, by utilizing the abstract result obtained in this paper, the existence of mild solutions for a class of nonlinear time fractional reaction–diffusion equation introduced in Ouyang (2011) is obtained.
