Existence of solutions for Caputo fractional iterative equations under several boundary value conditions
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for nonlinear quadratic iterative equations in the sense of the Caputo fractional derivative with different boundary conditions. Under a one-sided-Lipschitz condition on the nonlinear term, the existence and uniqueness of a solution for the boundary value problems of Caputo fractional iterative equations with arbitrary order is demonstrated by applying the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem and topological degree theory, where the solution for the case of fractional order greater than 1 is monotonic. Then, the existence and uniqueness of a solution for the period and integral boundary value problems of Caputo fractional quadratic iterative equations in $ R^N $ are also demonstrated. Furthermore, the well posedness of the control problem of a nonlinear iteration system with a disturbance is established by applying set-valued theory, and the existence of solutions for a neural network iterative system is guaranteed. As an application, an example is provided at the end.
