On a Duffing-type oscillator differential equation on the transition to chaos with fractional q-derivatives

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, by applying fractional quantum calculus, we study a nonlinear Duffing-type equation with three sequential fractional q-derivatives. We prove the existence and uniqueness results by using standard fixed-point theorems (Banach and Schaefer fixed-point theorems). We also discuss the Ulam–Hyers and the Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stabilities of the mentioned Duffing problem. Finally, we present an illustrative example and nice application; a Duffing-type oscillator equation with regard to our outcomes.
