Forced oscillation criteria for a class of fractional partial differential equations with damping term (Q1665619): Difference between revisions

Summary: Sufficient conditions are established for the forced oscillation of fractional partial differential equations with damping term of the form \((\partial / \partial t)(D_{+, t}^\alpha u(x, t)) + p(t) D_{+, t}^\alpha u(x, t) = a(t) \Delta u(x, t)- q(x, t) u(x, t) + f(x, t)\), \((x, t) \in \Omega \times R_+ \equiv G\), with one of the two following boundary conditions: \(\partial u(x, t) / \partial N = \psi(x, t), (x, t) \in \partial \Omega \times R_+\) or \(u(x, t) = 0, (x, t) \in \partial \Omega \times R_+\), where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(R^n\) with a piecewise smooth boundary, \(\partial \Omega, R_+ = [0, \infty)\),\ \ \(\alpha \in(0,1)\) is a constant, \(D_{+, t}^\alpha u(x, t)\) is the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order \(\alpha\) of \(u\) with respect to \(t\), \(\Delta\) is the Laplacian in \(R^n\), \(N\) is the unit exterior normal vector to \(\partial \Omega\), and \(\psi(x, t)\) is a continuous function on \(\partial \Omega \times R_+\). The main results are illustrated by some examples.
