Finite differences, as a subclass of direct methods in the calculus of variations, consist in discretizing the objective functional using appropriate approximations for derivatives that appear in the problem. This article generalizes the same idea for fractional variational problems. We consider a minimization problem with a Lagrangian that depends on the left Riemann– Liouville fractional deri...

This paper investigates the stability of n-dimensional nonlinear fractional differential systems with Riemann-Liouville derivative. By using the Mittag-Leffler function, Laplace transform and the Gronwall-Bellman lemma, one sufficient condition is attained for the asymptotical stability of a class of nonlinear fractional differential systems whose order lies in (0, 2). According to this theory,...

Finite differences, as a subclass of direct methods in the calculus of variations, consist in discretizing the objective functional using appropriate approximations for derivatives that appear in the problem. This article generalizes the same idea for fractional variational problems. We consider a minimization problem with a Lagrangian that depends only on the left Riemann–Liouville fractional ...

We propose a high order explicit finite difference method for fractional advection diffusion equations. These equations can be obtained from the standard advection diffusion equations by replacing the second order spatial derivative by a fractional operator of order α with 1 < α ≤ 2. This operator is defined by a combination of the left and right Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives. We stu...

In this article, we provide sufficient conditions for the non-existence of solutions of the boundary-value problems with fractional derivative of order α ∈ (2, 3) in the Riemann-Liouville sense D 0+x(t) + λa(t)f(x(t)) = 0, t ∈ (0, 1), x(0) = x′(0) = x′(1) = 0, and in the Caputo sense Dx(t) + f(t, x(t)) = 0, t ∈ (0, 1), x(0) = x′(0) = 0, x(1) = λ Z 1

A system of nonlinear fractional differential equations with the Riemann–Liouville derivative is considered. Lipschitz stability in time for studied defined and studied. This connected singularity at initial point. Two types derivatives Lyapunov functions among are applied to obtain sufficient conditions property. Some examples illustrate results.

We state, prove, and discuss new general inequality for convex and increasing functions. As a special case of that general result, we obtain new fractional inequalities involving fractional integrals and derivatives of Riemann-Liouville type. Consequently, we get the inequality of H. G. Hardy from 1918. We also obtain new results involving fractional derivatives of Canavati and Caputo types as ...
