Stability for Generalized Caputo Proportional Fractional Delay Integro-Differential Equations

A scalar nonlinear integro-differential equation with time-variable and bounded delays and generalized Caputo proportional fractional derivative is considered. The main goal of this paper is to study the stability properties of the zero solution. Results are given concerning stability, exponential stability, asymptotic stability, and boundedness of solutions. The investigations are based on an application of a quadratic Lyapunov function, its generalized Caputo proportional derivative, and a modification of the Razumikhin approach. Some auxiliary properties of the generalized Caputo proportional derivative are proved. Five illustrative examples are included

Minimization problems for functionals depending on generalized proportional fractional derivatives

In this work we study variational problems, where ordinary derivatives are replaced by a generalized proportional fractional derivative. This fractional operator depends on a fixed parameter, acting as a weight over the state function and its first-order derivative. We consider the problem with and without boundary conditions, and with additional restrictions like isoperimetric and holonomic. Herglotz’s variational problem and when in presence of time delays are also consideredpublishe

Quadratic Lyapunov functions for stability of the generalized proportional fractional differential equations with applications to neural networks

A fractional model of the Hopfield neural network is considered in the case of the application of the generalized proportional Caputo fractional derivative. The stability analysis of this model is used to show the reliability of the processed information. An equilibrium is defined, which is generally not a constant (different than the case of ordinary derivatives and Caputo-type fractional derivatives). We define the exponential stability and the Mittag–Leffler stability of the equilibrium. For this, we extend the second method of Lyapunov in the fractional-order case and establish a useful inequality for the generalized proportional Caputo fractional derivative of the quadratic Lyapunov function. Several sufficient conditions are presented to guarantee these types of stability. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.publishe

A quaternionic proportional fractional Fueter-type operator calculus

The main goal of this paper is to construct a proportional analogues of the quaternionic fractional Fueter-type operator recently introduced in the literature. We start by establishing a quaternionic version of the well-known proportional fractional integral and derivative with respect to a real-valued function via the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. As a main result, we prove a quaternionic proportional fractional Borel-Pompeiu formula based on a quaternionic proportional fractional Stokes formula. This tool in hand allows us to present a Cauchy integral type formula for the introduced quaternionic proportional fractional Fueter-type operator with respect to a real-valued function.Comment: 20 page

Fractional Differential Equations, Inclusions and Inequalities with Applications

During the last decade, there has been an increased interest in fractional differential equations, inclusions, and inequalities, as they play a fundamental role in the modeling of numerous phenomena, in particular, in physics, biomathematics, blood flow phenomena, ecology, environmental issues, viscoelasticity, aerodynamics, electrodynamics of complex medium, electrical circuits, electron-analytical chemistry, control theory, etc. This book presents collective works published in the recent Special Issue (SI) entitled "Fractional Differential Equation, Inclusions and Inequalities with Applications" of the journal Mathematics. This Special Issue presents recent developments in the theory of fractional differential equations and inequalities. Topics include but are not limited to the existence and uniqueness results for boundary value problems for different types of fractional differential equations, a variety of fractional inequalities, impulsive fractional differential equations, and applications in sciences and engineering

Approximation Theory and Related Applications

In recent years, we have seen a growing interest in various aspects of approximation theory. This happened due to the increasing complexity of mathematical models that require computer calculations and the development of the theoretical foundations of the approximation theory. Approximation theory has broad and important applications in many areas of mathematics, including functional analysis, differential equations, dynamical systems theory, mathematical physics, control theory, probability theory and mathematical statistics, and others. Approximation theory is also of great practical importance, as approximate methods and estimation of approximation errors are used in physics, economics, chemistry, signal theory, neural networks and many other areas. This book presents the works published in the Special Issue "Approximation Theory and Related Applications". The research of the world’s leading scientists presented in this book reflect new trends in approximation theory and related topics

Simpson’s Type Inequalities for s-Convex Functions via a Generalized Proportional Fractional Integral

In this paper, we give new Simpson’s type integral inequalities for the class of functions whose derivatives of absolute values are s-convex via generalized proportional fractional integrals. Some results in the literature are particular cases of our results

Proportional Caputo Fractional Differential Inclusions in Banach Spaces

In this work, we introduce the notion of a (weak) proportional Caputo fractional derivative of order α∈(0,1) for a continuous (locally integrable) function u:[0,∞)→E, where E is a complex Banach space. In our definition, we do not require that the function u(·) is continuously differentiable, which enables us to consider the wellposedness of the corresponding fractional relaxation problems in a much better theoretical way. More precisely, we systematically investigate several new classes of (degenerate) fractional solution operator families connected with the use of this type of fractional derivatives, obeying the multivalued linear approach to the abstract Volterra integro-differential inclusions. The quasi-periodic properties of the proportional fractional integrals as well as the existence and uniqueness of almost periodic-type solutions for various classes of proportional Caputo fractional differential inclusions in Banach spaces are also considered
