Oscillation of impulsive conformable fractional differential equations

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate oscillation results for the solutions of impulsive conformable fractional differential equations of the form$$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} {t_k}{D^\alpha }\left( {p\left( t \right)\left[ {{t_k}{D^\alpha }x\left( t \right) + r\left( t \right)x\left( t \right)} \right]} \right) + q\left( t \right)x\left( t \right) = 0,\quad t \ge {t_0},\;t \ne {t_k},\\ x\left( {t_k^ + } \right) = {a_k}x(t_k^ - ),\quad {t_k}{D^\alpha }x\left( {t_k^ + } \right) = {b_{k\;{t_{k - 1}}}}{D^\alpha }x(t_k^ - ),\quad \;k = 1,2, \ldots. \end{array} \right.$$Some new oscillation results are obtained by using the equivalence transformation and the associated Riccati techniques.
