Weighted pseudo almost automorphic mild solutions to semilinear fractional differential equations (Q5892568)

The author studies existence and uniqueness of weighted pseudo almost automorphic mild solutions of the following fractional semilinear differential equation in a Banach space \(X\): \[ D^{\alpha}_{t} u(y)=Au(t)+D^{\alpha-1}_{t} f(t,u(t),Bu(t)), \] where the derivative \(D^{\alpha}_{t}\), \(1<\alpha<2\), is understood in the Riemann-Liouville sense, \(A\) is a linear sectorial operator of type \(\omega <0\), \(B\) is a bounded linear operator, \(f\) is (in some sense) a weighted pseudo almost automorphic function. First, a composition theorem for weighted pseudo almost automorphic functions is obtained which then is used in combination with Banach's fixed point principle to achieve the results. An application to a fractional partial differential equation is also given. Note that the concept of weighted pseudo almost automorphic functions was introduced by \textit{J. Blot, G. M. Mophou, the reviewer} and \textit{D. Pennequin} [``Weighted pseudo almost automorphic functions and applications to abstract differential equations'', Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 71, No.~3--4, A, 903--909 (2009; Zbl 1177.34077)] as a generalization of pseudo almost automorphic functions, a concept suggested by the reviewer in his book [Topics in almost automorphy. New York: Springer. (2005; Zbl 1073.43004), page 40] and developed by \textit{J. Liang, J. Zhang} and \textit{T.-J. Xiao} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 340, No.~2, 1493--1499 (2008; Zbl 1134.43001)]. The paper is well written and easy to read. It generalizes the one by \textit{D. Araya} and \textit{C. Lizama} [``Almost automorphic mild solutions to fractional differential equations'', Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 69, No.~11, A, 3692--3705 (2008; Zbl 1166.34033)].
