Upper and lower solution methods for impulsive Caputo-Hadamard fractional differential inclusions (Q6185018)

The paper deals with the initial value problem for the Caputo-Hadamard fractional differential inclusion with impulses \[ \left\{\begin{array}{l} ^{CH}D^ry(t)\in F(t,y(t)),\text{ for a.e. }t\in J=[a,T],\,\,t\not=t_k,\,\,k=1,\ldots,m,\\ \Delta y|_{t=t_k}=I_k(y(t_k^-)),\,\,\,k=1,\ldots,m,\\ \Delta y'|_{t=t_k}=\overline{I}_k(y(t_k^-)),\,\,\,k=1,\ldots,m,\\ y(a)=y_1,\,\,\,y'(a)=y_2, \end{array}\right.\tag{1} \] where \(r\in (1,2]\), \(0<a=t_0<t_1<\cdots<t_m<t_{m+1}=T\), \(F:J\times \mathbb{R}\to \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R})\) is a multivalued map which satisfies some assumptions, \(\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R})\) is the family of all nonempty subsets of \(\mathbb{R}\), \(I_k,\,\overline{I}_k:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R},\,\,k=1,\ldots,m\) are continuous functions, \(\Delta y|_{t=t_k}=y(t_k^+)-y(t_k^-)\), \(\Delta y'|_{t=t_k}=y'(t_k^+)-y'(t_k^-)\), and \(y(t_k^+)\), \(y(t_k^-)\) are the right and left limits of \(y\) at \(t=t_k\), respectively, for \(k=1,\ldots,m\). By using the Bohnenblust-Karlin fixed point theorem, the authors prove the existence of solutions to problem \((1)\).
