Asymptotic behavior of solutions to nonlinear nonlocal fractional functional differential equations (Q2801560)

The authors consider the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the following nonlinear fractional order functional differential equation: NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\begin{aligned} & \frac{d^\alpha u(t)}{dt^\alpha}+A(t)u(t)=f(t,u(t),u_t)\text{ for }t\geq 0,\\ & h(u_{[-\tau,0]})=\phi,\end{aligned}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\frac{d^\alpha u(t)}{dt^\alpha}\) is understood in the Riemann-Liouville sense with \(0\leq\alpha\leq 1\), \(-A(t)\), \(t\geq 0\) is a closed linear operator defined on a dense domain \(D(A)\) in \(X\) into \(X\) such that \(D(A)\) is independent of \(t\). The family \(\{-A(t)\}\), \(t\geq 0\), generates a strongly continuous semigroup of evolution operators in a Banach space \(X\).NEWLINENEWLINEFunctions \(f:[0,\infty]\times X\times C_0\to X\), \(h:C_0\to C_0\) are nonlinear maps, where \(C_0\) is an adequate space of continuous functions. For any \(t\geq 0\), \(u_t\in C_0\) denotes a segment of \(u(\cdot)\) at \(t\) which is defined by \(u_t(s)=u(t+s)\), \(s\in[-\tau,0]\).NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors study the asymptotic behavior of solutions. They also render criteria for the stability of the zero solution. Moreover, they establish results with the assumption that \(\{-A(t)\}\) generates a resolvent operator for each \(t\geq 0\) and the nonlinear part is continuous in all variables with some certain conditions. An application of the obtained results to a nonlocal nonlinear partial fractional functional differential equation is given.
