AbstractEmploying the matrix measure approach and Lyapunov function, the author studies the global exponential stability of delayed neural networks with impulses in this paper.

This paper is concerned with the existence of three solutions to a nonlinear fractional boundary value problem as follows: (d/dt)((1/2)0Dtα-1(0CDtαu(t))-(1/2)tDTα-1(tCDTαu(t)))+λa(t)f(u(t))=0, a.e.  t∈[0,T],u(0)=u(T)=0, where α∈(1/2,1], and λ is a positive real parameter. The approach is based on a critical-points theorem established by G. Bonanno

Existence of positive solutions for boundary value problems of fractional functional differential equations

This paper deals with the existence of positive solutions for a boundary value problem involving a nonlinear functional differential equation of fractional order $\alpha$ given by $D^{\alpha} u(t) + f(t, u_t) = 0$, $t \in (0, 1)$, $2 < \alpha \le 3$, $u^{\prime}(0) = 0$, $u^{\prime}(1) = b u^{\prime}(\eta)$, $u_0 = \phi$. Our results are based on the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type and Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem

In this paper, by using the Avery and Peterson fixed point theorem, we establish the existence of multiple positive solutions for the following higher order multi-point nonhomogeneous boundary value problem $u^{(n)}(t) + f(t,u(t),u'(t),\ldots,u^{(n-2)}(t)) = 0, t\in (0,1)$, $u(0)= u'(0)=\cdots=u^{(n-3)}(0)=u^{(n-2)}(0)=0, u^{(n-2)}(1)-\sum_{i=1}^{m} a_i u^{(n-2)}(\xi_i)=\lambda$, where $n\ge3$ and $m\ge1$ are integers, $00$ for $1\le i\le m$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{m} a_i\xi_i<1$, $f(t,u,u',\cdots,u^{(n-2)})\in C([0,1]\times[0,\infty)^{n-1}, [0,\infty))$. We give an example to illustrate our result

The associated Green's function for the boundary value problem is given at first, and some useful properties of the Green's function are obtained. The main tool is fixed-point index theory. The results obtained in this paper essentially improve and generalize some well-known results
