Fractional tempered differential equations depending on arbitrary kernels

Abstract

In this paper, we expanded the concept of tempered fractional derivatives within both the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo frameworks, introducing a novel class of fractional operators. These operators are characterized by their dependence on a specific arbitrary smooth function. We then investigated the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a particular class of fractional differential equations, subject to specified initial conditions. To aid our analysis, we introduced and demonstrated the application of Picard's iteration method. Additionally, we utilized the Gronwall inequality to explore the stability of the system under examination. Finally, we studied the attractivity of the solutions, establishing the existence of at least one attractive solution for the system. Throughout the paper, we provide examples and remarks to support and reinforce our findings.
