Asymptotic Integration of Some Nonlinear Differential Equations With Fractional Time Derivative

Abstract

We establish that, under some simple integral conditions regarding the nonlinearity, the (1 + alpha)-order fractional differential equation D-0(t)alpha (x') + f (t, x) = 0, t > 0, has a solution x is an element of C([0, +infinity), R) boolean AND C-1((0, +infinity), R), with lim(t SE arrow 0) [t(1-alpha)x'(t)] is an element of R, which can be expanded asymptotically as a+bt(alpha)+O(t(alpha-1)) when t ->+infinity for given real numbers a, b. Our arguments are based on fixed point theory. Here, D-0(t)alpha designates the Riemann-Liouville derivative of order alpha is an element of (0, 1).
