Multiterm boundary value problem of Caputo fractional differential equations of variable order

Abstract

AbstractIn this manuscript, the existence, uniqueness, and stability of solutions to the multiterm boundary value problem of Caputo fractional differential equations of variable order are established. All results in this study are established with the help of the generalized intervals and piece-wise constant functions, we convert the Caputo fractional variable order to an equivalent standard Caputo of the fractional constant order. Further, two fixed point theorems due to Schauder and Banach are used, the Ulam–Hyers stability of the given Caputo variable order is examined, and finally, we construct an example to illustrate the validity of the observed results. In literature, the existence of solutions to the variable-order problems is rarely discussed. Therefore, investigating this interesting special research topic makes all our results novel and worthy.
