On a Class of Abstract Time-Fractional Equations on Locally Convex Spaces

Abstract EN

This paper is devoted to the study of abstract time-fractional equations of the following form: Dtαnu(t)+∑i=1n−1AiDtαiu(t)=ADtαu(t)+f(t), t>0, u(k)(0)=uk, k=0,...,⌈αn⌉−1, where n∈ℕ∖{1}, A and A1,...,An−1 are closed linear operators on a sequentially complete locally convex space E,0≤α1<⋯<αn, 0≤α<αn, f(t) is an E-valued function, and Dtα denotes the Caputo fractional derivative of order α (Bazhlekova (2001)).

We introduce and systematically analyze various classes of k-regularized (C1,C2)-existence and uniqueness (propagation) families, continuing in such a way the researches raised in (de Laubenfels (1999, 1991), Kostić (Preprint), and Xiao and Liang (2003, 2002).

The obtained results are illustrated with several examples.
