Degenerate equations with the Dzhrbashyan-Nersesyan derivative in the sectorial case (Q6043917)

The study focuses on a specific class of linear inhomogeneous equations residing in Banach spaces, featuring a degenerate operator associated with the fractional Dzhrbashyan-Nersesyan derivative. These equations are supplemented with initial conditions governing the lower Dzhrbashyan-Nersesyan derivatives. The authors reduce the degenerate equation to a system comprising two equations acting on two distinct subspaces. One of these equations takes on an algebraic form, while the other is addressed in terms of the Dzhrbashyan-Nersesyan derivative. They prove a theorem establishing the unique solvability of the initial value problem associated with the degenerate equation. By employing this abstract result, the authors extend their scope to investigate the unique solvability of an initial-boundary value problem within the aforementioned class.
