Fuzzy Solutions to Second Order Three Point Boundary Value Problem

In this manuscript, the proposed work is to study the existence of second-order differential equations with three point boundary conditions. Existence is proved using fuzzy set valued mappings of a real variable whose values are normal, convex, upper semi continuous and compactly supported fuzzy sets. The sufficient conditions are also provided to establish the existence results of fuzzy solutions of second order differential equations for three point boundary value problem. By using Banach fixed point principle, a new existence theorem of solutions for these equations in the metric space of normal fuzzy convex sets with distance given by the maximum of the Hausdorff distance between level sets is obtained. Then to further establish the existence, fixed point theorem for absolute retracts is used by taking consideration that space of fuzzy sets can be embedded isometrically as a cone in Banach space. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the result

Eigenvalue problems for fractional differential equations with mixed derivatives and generalized p-Laplacian

This paper reports the investigation of eigenvalue problems for two classes of nonlinear fractional differential equations with generalized p-Laplacian operator involving both Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives and Caputo fractional derivatives. By means of fixed point theorem on cones, some sufficient conditions are derived for the existence, multiplicity and nonexistence of positive solutions to the boundary value problems. Finally, an example is presented to further verify the correctness of the main theoretical results and illustrate the wide range of their potential applications

Three solutions for a three-point boundary value problem with instantaneous and non-instantaneous impulses

In this paper, we consider the multiplicity of solutions for the following three-point boundary value problem of second-order $p$-Laplacian differential equations with instantaneous and non-instantaneous impulses: \begin{equation*} \left\{ {\begin{array}{l} -(\rho(t)\Phi_{p} (u'(t)))'+g(t)\Phi_{p}(u(t))=\lambda f_{j}(t,u(t)),\quad t\in(s_{j},t_{j+1}],\; j=0,1,...,m,\\ \Delta (\rho (t_{j})\Phi_{p}(u'(t_{j})))=\mu I_{j}(u(t_{j})), \quad j=1,2,...,m,\\ \rho (t)\Phi_{p} (u'(t))=\rho(t_{j}^{+}) \Phi_{p} (u'(t_{j}^{+})),\quad t\in(t_{j},s_{j}],\; j=1,2,...,m,\\ \rho(s_{j}^{+})\Phi_{p} (u'(s_{j}^{+}))=\rho(s_{j}^{-})\Phi_{p} (u'(s_{j}^{-})),\quad j=1,2,...,m,\\ u(0)=0, \quad u(1)=\zeta u(\eta), \end{array}} \right. \end{equation*} where \Phi_{p}(u): = |u|^{p-2}u, \; p > 1, \; 0 = s_{0} < t_{1} < s_{1} < t_{2} < ... < s_{m_{1}} < t_{m_{1}+1} = \eta < ... < s_{m} < t_{m+1} = 1, \; \zeta > 0, \; 0 < \eta < 1 , $\Delta (\rho (t_{j})\Phi_{p}(u'(t_{j}))) = \rho (t_{j}^{+})\Phi_{p}(u'(t_{j}^{+}))-\rho (t_{j}^{-})\Phi_{p}(u'(t_{j}^{-}))$ for $u'(t_{j}^{\pm}) = \lim\limits_{t\to t_{j}^{\pm}}u'(t)$, $j = 1, 2, ..., m$, and $f_{j}\in C((s_{j}, t_{j+1}]\times\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R})$, $I_{j}\in C(\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R})$. $\lambda\in (0, +\infty)$, $\mu\in\mathbb{R}$ are two parameters. $\rho(t)\geq 1$, $1\leq g(t)\leq c$ for $t\in (s_{j}, t_{j+1}]$, $\rho(t), \; g(t)\in L^{p}[0, 1]$, and $c$ is a positive constant. By using variational methods and the critical points theorems of Bonanno-Marano and Ricceri, the existence of at least three classical solutions is obtained. In addition, several examples are presented to illustrate our main results
