Fractional Langevin Equation Involving Two Fractional Orders: Existence and Uniqueness Revisited

Abstract

We consider the nonlinear fractional Langevin equation involving two fractional orders with initial conditions. Using some basic properties of Prabhakar integral operator, we find an equivalent Volterra integral equation with two parameter Mittag–Leffler function in the kernel to the mentioned equation. We used the contraction mapping theorem and Weissinger’s fixed point theorem to obtain existence and uniqueness of global solution in the spaces of Lebesgue integrable functions. The new representation formula of the general solution helps us to find the fixed point problem associated with the fractional Langevin equation which its contractivity constant is independent of the friction coefficient. Two examples are discussed to illustrate the feasibility of the main theorems.
