Terminal value problem for differential equations with Hilfer–Katugampola fractional derivative

We present in this work the existence results and uniqueness of solutions for a class of boundary value problems of terminal type for fractional differential equations with the Hilfer–Katugampola fractional derivative. The reasoning is mainly based upon different types of classical fixed point theory such as the Banach contraction principle and Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem. We illustrate our main findings, with a particular case example included to show the applicability of our outcomesThe research of J.J.

Extremum principle for the Hadamard derivatives and its application to nonlinear fractional partial differential equations

In this paper we obtain new estimates of the Hadamard fractional derivatives of a function at its extreme points. The extremum principle is then applied to show that the initial-boundary-value problem for linear and nonlinear time-fractional diffusion equations possesses at most one classical solution and this solution depends continuously on the initial and boundary conditions. The extremum principle for an elliptic equation with a fractional Hadamard derivative is also proved
