Modeling of implicit multi term fractional delay differential equation: Application in pollutant dispersion problem

Abstract

This work explores a new abstract model using multi-term fractional differential operator and delay effect. The model is defined by the existence of a delay parameter and insertion of multi term fractional differential operators in the input function. For the solution of the newly formulated problem, we utilized fixed-point theorems, which provide a powerful analytical tool for establishing the existence and uniqueness of solutions in functional spaces. Additionally, we investigate the stability properties of the implicit multi-term fractional delay differential equation (IMTFDDE) and employ the concept of Ulam-Hyers stability to assess their behaviour. The Ulam-Hyers stability framework is a contemporary approach that characterizes the sensitivity of solutions in functional spaces. Furthermore, we use an example to show how to apply our results. Lastly, for the real implementation of this research endeavour, we provided a real model devoted to modeling the dispersion of pollutants in a river while accounting for delayed effects and strip boundary circumstances.
