Ulam-Type Stability for a Boundary-Value Problem for Multi-Term Delay Fractional Differential Equations of Caputo Type

Abstract

A boundary-value problem for a couple of scalar nonlinear differential equations with a delay and several generalized proportional Caputo fractional derivatives is studied. Ulam-type stability of the given problem is investigated. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the boundary-value problem with an arbitrary parameter are obtained. In the study of Ulam-type stability, this parameter was chosen to depend on the solution of the corresponding fractional differential inequality. We provide sufficient conditions for Ulam–Hyers stability, Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability and generalized Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability for the given problem on a finite interval. As a partial case, sufficient conditions for Ulam-type stability for a couple of multi-term delay, Caputo fractional differential equations are obtained. An example is illustrating the results.
