On the properties of a Cauchy-type problem for an abstract differential equation with fractional derivatives (Q941891)

The author studies Cauchy-type problems for fractional differential equations of Riemann-Liouville type of the form \[ D^\alpha D^\beta u(t) = Au(t). \] His particular interest is in the stability of solutions under perturbations of \(A\), the right hand side of the equation. He considers perturbations which take the form of a bounded operator \(P\). The paper also considers the effect of an inhomogeneous forcing term \(f\) on the right hand side and of a fractional power cosine generator for \(A\). Proofs of well-posedness of the problem and expressions for the solution are given.
