Forced oscillation of certain fractional differential equations

Oscillation of Solutions to Nonlinear Forced Fractional Differential Equations

In this article, we study the oscillation of solutions to a nonlinear forced fractional differential equation. The fractional derivative is defined in the sense of the modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. Based on a transformation of variables and properties of the modified Riemann-liouville derivative, the fractional differential equation is transformed into a second-order ordinary different...

On the Oscillation of Fractional Differential Equations

In this paper we initiate the oscillation theory for fractional differential equations. Oscillation criteria are obtained for a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations of the form D ax+ f1(t, x) = v(t) + f2(t, x), lim t→a+ J1−q a x(t) = b1, where D a denotes the Riemann-Liouville differential operator of order q, 0 < q ≤ 1. The results are also stated when the Riemann-Liouville dif...

Oscillation criteria of fractional differential equations

where D−y is the Liouville right-sided fractional derivative of order a Î (0,1) of y and h >0 is a quotient of odd positive integers. We establish some oscillation criteria for the equation by using a generalized Riccati transformation technique and an inequality. Examples are shown to illustrate our main results. To the best of author’s knowledge, nothing is known regarding the oscillatory beh...
