p-Moment Mittag–Leffler Stability of Riemann–Liouville Fractional Differential Equations with Random Impulses

Fractional differential equations with impulses arise in modeling real world phenomena where the state changes instantaneously at some moments. Often, these instantaneous changes occur at random moments. In this situation the theory of Differential equations has to be combined with Probability theory to set up the problem correctly and to study the properties of the solutions. We study the case when the time between two consecutive moments of impulses is exponentially distributed. In connection with the application of the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative in the equation, we define in an appropriate way both the initial condition and the impulsive conditions. We consider the case when the lower limit of the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative is fixed at the initial time. We define the so called p-moment Mittag–Leffler stability in time of the model. In the case of integer order derivative the introduced type of stability reduces to the p–moment exponential stability. Sufficient conditions for p–moment Mittag–Leffler stability in time are obtained. The argument is based on Lyapunov functions with the help of the defined fractional Dini derivative. The main contributions of the suggested model is connected with the implementation of impulses occurring at random times and the application of the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative of order between 0 and 1. For this model the p-moment Mittag–Leffler stability in time of the model is defined and studied by Lyapunov functions once one defines in an appropriate way their Dini fractional derivative.

Second-Order Composed Contingent Derivative of the Perturbation Map in Multiobjective Optimization

In view of the structural advantage of second-order composed derivatives, the purpose of this paper is to analyze quantitatively the behavior of perturbation maps for the first time by using this concept. First, new concepts of the second-order composed adjacent derivative and the second-order composed lower Dini derivative are introduced. Some relationships among the second-order composed contingent derivative, the second-order composed adjacent derivative and the second-order composed lower Dini derivative are discussed. Second, the relationships between second-order composed lower Dini derivable and Aubin property are provided. Third, by virtue of second-order composed contingent derivatives and the above relationships, some results concerning second-order sensitivity analysis are established without the assumption of the locally Lipschitz property or the locally Hölder continuity. Finally, we give some complete characterizations of second-order composed contingent derivatives of the perturbation maps.

Solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for Bolza problems with discontinuous time dependent data

We consider a class of optimal control problems in which the cost to minimize comprises both a final cost and an integral term, and the data can be discontinuous with respect to the time variable in the following sense: they are continuous w.r.t. t on a set of full measure and have everywhere left and right limits. For this class of Bolza problems, employing techniques coming from viability theory, we give characterizations of the value function as the unique generalized solution to the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the class of lower semicontinuous functions: if the final cost term is extended valued, the generalized solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation involves the concepts of lower Dini derivative and the proximal normal vectors; if the final cost term is a locally bounded lower semicontinuous function, then we can show that this has an equivalent characterization in a viscosity sense.

Caputo fractional differential equations with non-instantaneous impulses and strict stability by Lyapunov functions

In this paper the statement of initial value problems for fractional differential equations with noninstantaneous impulses is given. These equations are adequate models for phenomena that are characterized by impulsive actions starting at arbitrary fixed points and remaining active on finite time intervals. Strict stability properties of fractional differential equations with non-instantaneous impulses by the Lyapunov approach is studied. An appropriate definition (based on the Caputo fractional Dini derivative of a function) for the derivative of Lyapunov functions among the Caputo fractional differential equations with non-instantaneous impulses is presented. Comparison results using this definition and scalar fractional differential equations with non-instantaneous impulses are presented and sufficient conditions for strict stability and uniform strict stability are given. Examples are given to illustrate the theory.

A survey of Lyapunov functions, stability and impulsive Caputo fractional differential equations

We present an overview of the literature on solutions to impulsive Caputo fractional differential equations. Lyapunov direct method is used to obtain sufficient conditions for stability properties of the zero solution of nonlinear impulsive fractional differential equations. One of the main problems in the application of Lyapunov functions to fractional differential equations is an appropriate definition of its derivative among the differential equation of fractional order. A brief overview of those used in the literature is given, and we discuss their advantages and disadvantages. One type of derivative, the so called Caputo fractional Dini derivative, is generalized to impulsive fractional differential equations. We apply it to study stability and uniform stability. Some examples are given to illustrate the results.

Interval-Valued Optimization Problems Involvingα,ρ-Right Upper-Dini-Derivative Functions

We consider an interval-valued multiobjective problem. Some necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for weak efficient solutions are established under new generalized convexities with the tool-right upper-Dini-derivative, which is an extension of directional derivative. Also some duality results are proved for Wolfe and Mond-Weir duals.

On Lipschitz behaviour of some generalized derivatives

The aim of the present paper is to compare various forms of stable properties of nonsmooth functions at some points. By stable property we mean the Lipschitz property of some generalized derivatives related only to the reference point. Namely we compare Lipschitz behaviour of lower Clarke derivative, lower Dini derivative and calmness of Clarke subdifferential. In this way, we continue our study of λ-stable functions.
