Nonlocal Cauchy problems for fractional order nonlinear differential systems

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss nonlocal Cauchy problems for fractional order nonlinear differential systems. Firstly, an important matrix associated with fractional order and two functionals are constructed. Further, some sufficient conditions which guarantee such matrix convergent to zero matrix are presented. Secondly, by using three fixed point theorems via the techniques that use convergent to zero matrix and vector norm, some existence results for the solutions of such fractional order nonlinear differential systems are given under different conditions. Finally, some examples are given to illustrate the results. © 2013 Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Wien.
