Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of fractional delay differential equations with Caputo derivative

This paper is devoted to the study of Hyers–Ulam–Rassias (HUR) stability of a nonlinear Caputo fractional delay differential equation (CFrDDE) with multiple variable time delays. We obtain two new theorems with regard to HUR stability of the CFrDDE on bounded and unbounded intervals. The method of the proofs is based on the fixed point approach. The HUR stability results of this paper have indispensable contributions to theory of Ulam stabilities of CFrDDEs and some earlier results in the literature.

Recent advances in employing the Laplace homotopy analysis method to nonlinear fractional models for evolution equations and heat-typed problems

This study stems from the growing need for effective mathematical tools to tackle nonlinear fractional evolution equations, which find wide applications in physics and engineering. Traditional methods often struggle to provide exact closed-form solutions for such equations, leading to the development of novel approaches. In this context, the combination of the homotopy analysis method with the Laplace transform presents a promising avenue for obtaining exact solutions to these complex equations. By exploring this hybrid approach, the study aims to address the existing challenges in solving nonlinear fractional models and provide a reliable method for obtaining closed-form solutions. In this way, this study focuses on rendering the coupling between the homotopy analysis approach and the Laplace transform in the search for exact closed-form solutions for the class of fractional evolution and heat-typed equations. In fact, this class of equations features some interesting nonlinear Caputo fractional partial differential equations that model dissimilar physical processes in physics and engineering. A generalized recurrent scheme is derived, which is applicable to all the members of the governing class, and further analyzed the application of this very scheme on some test fractional initial-value problems of much concern. Eventually, the method has been found to be advantageous, with various advantages, including convergence to available exact solutions. Thus, of the advantage of the current study is innovative combination of mathematical methods, the applicability of these methods to a special class of fractional equations, the development of a generalized scheme, the successful solution of prototype problems, and the practical advantages of the method.

An Optimal Adaptive Grid Method Based on L1 Scheme for a Nonlinear Caputo Fractional Differential Equation

A nonlinear fractional differential equation with a Caputo derivative of order α is studied. This problem is discretized by using the L1 scheme on an arbitrary nonuniform mesh. By utilizing the Taylor expansion with integral remainder term, an optimal local truncation error estimation of L1 scheme is proved. Based on this truncation error estimation and the mesh equidistribution principle, a new monitor function is constructed to construct an adaptive grid generation algorithm. Numerical experiments are performed to confirm the accuracy of our new adaptive grid algorithm.

Analysis of a finite difference scheme for a nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equation on an adaptive grid

<abstract> A nonlinear initial value problem whose differential operator is a Caputo derivative of order $ \alpha $ with $ 0 &lt; \alpha &lt; 1 $ is studied. By using the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral transformation, this problem is reformulated as a Volterra integral equation, which is discretized by using the right rectangle formula. Both a priori and an a posteriori error analysis are conducted. Based on the a priori error bound and mesh equidistribution principle, we show that there exists a nonuniform grid that gives first-order convergent result, which is robust with respect to $ \alpha $. Then an a posteriori error estimation is derived and used to design an adaptive grid generation algorithm. Numerical results complement the theoretical findings. </abstract>

Legendre wavelet collocation method for fractional optimal control problems with fractional Bolza cost

AbstractThis paper exhibits a numerical method for solving general fractional optimal control problems involving a dynamical system described by a nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equation, associated with a fractional Bolza cost composed as the aggregate of a standard Mayer cost and a fractional Lagrange cost given by a Riemann–Liouville fractional integral. By using the Lagrange multiplier within the calculus of variations and by applying integration by part formula, the necessary optimality conditions are derived in terms of a nonlinear two‐point fractional‐order boundary value problem. An operational matrix of fractional order right Riemann–Liouville integration is proposed and by utilizing it, the obtained two‐point fractional‐order boundary value problem is reduced into the solution of an algebraic system. AnL2‐error estimate in the approximation of unknown variable by Legendre wavelet is derived and in the last, illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method.

Generalized Fixed Point Results with Application to Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations

The main objective of this paper is to introduce the ( α , β )-type ϑ -contraction, ( α , β )-type rational ϑ -contraction, and cyclic ( α - ϑ ) contraction. Based on these definitions we prove fixed point theorems in the complete metric spaces. These results extend and improve some known results in the literature. As an application of the proved fixed point Theorems, we study the existence of solutions of an integral boundary value problem for scalar nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equations with a fractional order in (1,2).

Pontryagin maximum principle for general Caputo fractional optimal control problems with Bolza cost and terminal constraints

In this paper we focus on a general optimal control problem involving a dynamical system described by a nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equation of order 0 &lt; α≤ 1, associated to a general Bolza cost written as the sum of a standard Mayer cost and a Lagrange cost given by a Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order β ≥α. In addition the present work handles general control and mixed initial/final state constraints. Adapting the standard Filippov's approach based on appropriate compactness assumptions and on the convexity of the set of augmented velocities, we give an existence result for at least one optimal solution. Then, the major contribution of this paper is the statement of a Pontryagin maximum principle which provides a first-order necessary optimality condition that can be applied to the fractional framework considered here. In particular, Hamiltonian maximization condition and transversality conditions on the adjoint vector are derived. Our proof is based on the sensitivity analysis of the Caputo fractional state equation with respect to needle-like control perturbations and on Ekeland's variational principle. The paper is concluded with two illustrating examples and with a list of several perspectives for forthcoming works.

On a coupled system of higher order nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equations with coupled Riemann\u2013Stieltjes type integro-multipoint boundary conditions

We study a coupled system of Caputo fractional differential equations with coupled non-conjugate Riemann–Stieltjes type integro-multipoint boundary conditions. Existence and uniqueness results for the given boundary value problem are obtained by applying the Leray–Schauder nonlinear alternative, the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem and Banach’s contraction mapping principle. Examples are constructed to illustrate the obtained results.

A superlinear convergence scheme for nonlinear fractional differential equations and its fast implement

In this paper, we first construct an efficient scheme for nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equations with the initial value and the fractional degree [Formula: see text]. Then, the unconditional stability and the superlinear convergence with the order [Formula: see text] of the proposed scheme are strictly proved and discussed. Due to the nonlocal property of fractional operators, the new scheme is time-consuming for long-time simulations. Thus, a fast implement of the proposed scheme is presented based on the sum-of-exponentials (SOE) approximation for the kernel [Formula: see text] on the interval [Formula: see text] in the Riemann–Liouville integral, where [Formula: see text] is the stepsize. Some numerical experiments are provided to support the theoretical results of the new scheme and demonstrate the computational performance of its fast implement.
