A class of fractional evolution equations and optimal controls (Q611237): Difference between revisions

The authors, using the techniques of fractional calculus, a singular version of Gronwall's inequality and the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem for compact maps, study the existence of solutions of a fractional evolution equation of the type \[ D^qx(t)=-Ax(t)+f(t,x(t)),\qquad t \in J=[0,T],~q \in (0,1), \] \[ x(t_0)=x_0. \] They introduce a notion of \(\alpha\)-mild solution which is associated with a probability density function and a semigroup operator. Further, the existence of an optimal control for a Lagrange problem is proved. An example is given to demonstrate their results.
