This work explores the existence and uniqueness criteria for the solution of hybrid Caputo–Hadamard fractional sequential differential equations (HCHFSDEs) by employing Darbo's fixed-point theorem. Fractional differential equations play a pivotal role in modeling complex phenomena in various areas of science and engineering. The hybrid approach considered in this work combines the advantages of both the Caputo and Hadamard fractional derivatives, leading to a more comprehensive and versatile model for describing sequential processes. To address the problem of the existence and uniqueness of solutions for such hybrid fractional sequential differential equations, we turn to Darbo's fixed-point theorem, a powerful mathematical tool that establishes the existence of fixed points for certain types of mappings. By appropriately transforming the differential equation into an equivalent fixed-point formulation, we can exploit the properties of Darbo's theorem to analyze the solutions' existence and uniqueness. The outcomes of this research expand the understanding of HCHFSDEs and contribute to the growing body of knowledge in fractional calculus and fixed-point theory. These findings are expected to have significant implications in various scientific and engineering applications, where sequential processes are prevalent, such as in physics, biology, finance, and control theory.

This paper studies distributed optimal control for non-cooperative systems involving time-fractional hyperbolic operators. Through the application of the Lax–Milgram theorem, we confirm the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions. Central to our approach is the utilization of the linear quadratic cost functional, which is meticulously crafted to encapsulate the interplay between the system's state and control variables. This functional serves as a pivotal tool in imposing constraints on the dynamic system under consideration, facilitating a nuanced understanding of its controllability. Using the Euler–Lagrange first-order optimality conditions with an adjoint problem defined by means of the right-time fractional derivative in the Caputo sense, we obtain an optimality system for the optimal control. Finally, some examples are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study uses the optimal auxiliary function method to approximate solutions for fractional-order non-linear partial differential equations, utilizing Riemann–Liouville's fractional integral and the Caputo derivative. This approach eliminates the need for assumptions about parameter magnitudes, offering a significant advantage. We validate our approach using the time-fractional Cahn–Hilliard, fractional Burgers–Poisson, and Benjamin–Bona–Mahony–Burger equations. Comparative testing shows that our method outperforms new iterative, homotopy perturbation, homotopy analysis, and residual power series methods. These examples highlight our method's effectiveness in obtaining precise solutions for non-linear fractional differential equations, showcasing its superiority in accuracy and consistency. We underscore its potential for revealing elusive exact solutions by demonstrating success across various examples. Our methodology advances fractional differential equation research and equips practitioners with a tool for solving non-linear equations. A key feature is its ability to avoid parameter assumptions, enhancing its applicability to a broader range of problems and expanding the scope of problems addressable using fractional calculus techniques.

In this article, the numerical adaptive predictor corrector (Apc-ABM) method is presented to solve generalized Caputo fractional initial value problems. The Apc-ABM method was utilized to establish approximate series solutions. The presented technique is considered to be an extension to the original Adams–Bashforth–Moulton approach. Numerical simulations and figures are presented and discussed, in order to show the efficiency of the proposed method. In the future, we anticipate that the provided generalized Caputo fractional derivative and the suggested method will be utilized to create and simulate a wide variety of generalized Caputo-type fractional models. We have included examples to demonstrate the accuracy of the present method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research work, time-delay adaptive synchronization and adaptive anti-synchronization of chaotic fractional order systems are analyzed via the Caputo fractional derivative, and the prob-lem of synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic systems of variable fractional order is solved by using the fractional order PID control law, the adaptive laws of variable-order frac-tional calculus, and a control law deduced from Lyapunov's theory extended to systems of time-delay variable-order fractional calculus. In this research work, two important problems are solved in the control area: The first problem is described in which deals with syn-chro-nization of chaotic systems of adaptive fractional order with time delay, this problem is solved by using the fractional order PID control law and adaptative laws. The second problem is de-scribed in which deals with anti-synchronization of chaotic systems of adaptive frac-tional order with time delay, and this problem is solved by using the fractional order PID con-trol law and adaptative laws.

In this paper, we solve Riccati equations by using the fractional-order hybrid function of block-pulse functions and Bernoulli polynomials (FOHBPB), obtained by replacing x with x α , with positive α. Fractional derivatives are in the Caputo sense. With the help of incomplete beta functions, we are able to build exactly the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator associated with FOHBPB. This operator, together with the Newton–Cotes collocation method, allows the reduction of fractional differential equations to a system of algebraic equations, which can be solved by Newton's iterative method. The simplicity of the method recommends it for applications in engineering and nature. The accuracy of this method is illustrated by five examples, and there are situations in which we obtain accuracy eleven orders of magnitude higher than if α = 1 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, we investigate analytically the solutions of a nonlinear div-curl system with fractional derivatives of the Riemann-Liouville or Caputo types. To this end, the fractional-order vector operators of divergence, curl and gradient are identified as components of the fractional Dirac operator in quaternionic form. As one of the most important results of this manuscript, we derive general solutions of some non-homogeneous div-curl systems that consider the presence of fractional-order derivatives of the Riemann-Liouville or Caputo types. A fractional analogous to the Teodorescu transform is presented in this work, and we employ some properties of its component operators, developed in this work to establish a generalization of the Helmholtz decomposition theorem in fractional space. Additionally, right inverses of the fractional-order curl, divergence and gradient vector operators are obtained using Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional operators. Finally, some consequences of these results are provided as applications at the end of this work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider general linear multi-term Caputo fractional integro-differential equations with weakly singular kernels subject to local or non-local boundary conditions. Using an integral equation reformulation of the proposed problem, we first study the existence, uniqueness and regularity of the exact solution. Based on the obtained regularity properties and spline collocation techniques, the numerical solution of the problem is discussed. Optimal global convergence estimates are derived and a superconvergence result for a special choice of grid and collocation parameters is given. A numerical illustration is also presented.

In this paper, we consider a problem of continuity fractional-order for pseudo-parabolic equations with the fractional derivative of Caputo. Here, we investigate the stability of the problem with respect to derivative parameters and initial data. We also show that uω' → uω in an appropriate sense as ω' → ω where ω is the fractional order. Moreover, to test the continuity fractional-order, we present several numerical examples to illustrate this property. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we develop a numerical method based on the operational matrices of shifted Vieta–Lucas polynomials (VLPs) for solving Caputo fractional-order differential equations (FDEs). We derive a new operational matrix of the fractional-order derivatives in the Caputo sense, which is then used with spectral tau and spectral collocation methods to reduce the FDEs to a system of algebraic equations. Several numerical examples are given to show the accuracy of this method. These examples show that the obtained results have good agreement with the analytical solutions in both linear and non-linear FDEs. In addition to this, the numerical results obtained by using our method are compared with the numerical results obtained otherwise in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present note, a new modification of the Adomian decomposition method is developed for the solution of fractional-order diffusion-wave equations with initial and boundary value Problems. The derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The generalized formulation of the present technique is discussed to provide an easy way of understanding. In this context, some numerical examples of fractional-order diffusion-wave equations are solved by the suggested technique. It is investigated that the solution of fractional-order diffusion-wave equations can easily be handled by using the present technique. Moreover, a graphical representation was made for the solution of three illustrative examples. The solution-graphs are presented for integer and fractional order problems. It was found that the derived and exact results are in good agreement of integer-order problems. The convergence of fractional-order solution is the focus point of the present research work. The discussed technique is considered to be the best tool for the solution of fractional-order initial-boundary value problems in science and engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
