This paper concerns the investigation of controllability and Hyers-Ulam stability of initial value problems for fractional differential equations via generalized proportional-Caputo fractional derivatives. The main results are obtained by means of the Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We prove the existence and uniqueness of solution for fractional differential equations with Riemann-Liouville fractional integral boundary conditions. The first existence and uniqueness result is based on Banach’s contraction principle. Moreover, other existence results are also obtained by using the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem. An example is given to illustrate the main results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A generalized proportional vector-order fractional derivative in the Caputo sense is defined and studied. Two types of existence results for the mild solutions of the initial value problem for nonlinear Caputo-type generalized proportional vector-order fractional differential equations are obtained. With the aid of the Leray–Schauder nonlinear alternative and the Banach contraction principle, the main results are established. In the case of a local Lipschitz right hand side part function, the existence of a bounded mild solution is proved. Some examples illustrating the main results are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The object of investigation in this paper is a scalar linear fractional differential equation with generalized proportional derivative of Riemann–Liouville type (LFDEGD). The main goal is the obtaining an explicit solution of the initial value problem of the studied equation. Note that the locally solvability, being the same as the existence of solutions to the initial value problem, is connected with the symmetry of a transformation of a system of differential equations. At the same time, several criteria for existence of the initial value problem for nonlinear fractional differential equations with generalized proportional derivative are connected with the linear ones. It leads to the necessity of obtaining an explicit solution of LFDEGD. In this paper two cases are studied: the case of no impulses in the differential equation are presented and the case when instantaneous impulses at initially given points are involved. All obtained formulas are based on the application of Mittag–Leffler function with two parameters. In the case of impulses, initially the appropriate impulsive conditions are set up and later the explicit solutions are obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An initial value problem for a scalar nonlinear differential equation with a variable order for the generalized proportional Caputo fractional derivative is studied. We consider the case of a piecewise constant variable order of the fractional derivative. Since the order of the fractional integrals and derivatives depends on time, we will consider several different cases. The argument of the variable order could be equal to the current time or it could be equal to the variable of the integral determining the fractional derivative. We provide three different definitions of generalized proportional fractional integrals and Caputo-type derivatives, and the properties of the defined differentials/integrals are discussed and compared with what is known in the literature. Appropriate auxiliary systems with constant-order fractional derivatives are defined and used to construct solutions of the studied problem in the three cases of fractional derivatives. Existence and uniqueness are studied. Also, the Ulam-type stability is defined in the three cases, and sufficient conditions are obtained. The suggested approach is more broadly based, and the same methodology can be used in a number of additional issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
