Hille–Yosida-Type Theorem for Fractional Differential Equations with Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan Derivative Vladimir E. Fedorov, Wei-Shih Du, Marko Kostić, Marina V. Plekhanova, Darya V. Melekhina Fractal and Fractional, 2025 It is a well-known fact that the Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan fractional derivative includes as particular cases the fractional derivatives of Riemann–Liouville, Gerasimov–Caputo, and Hilfer. The notion of resolving a family of operators for a linear equation with the Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan fractional derivative is introduced here. Hille–Yosida-type theorem on necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence of a strongly continuous resolving family of operators is proved using Phillips-type approximations. The conditions concern the location of the resolvent set and estimates for the resolvent of a linear closed operator A at the unknown function in the equation. The existence of a resolving family means the existence of a solution for the equation under consideration. For such equation with an operator A satisfying Hille–Yosida-type conditions the uniqueness of a solution is shown also. The obtained results are illustrated by an example for an equation of the considered form in a Banach space of sequences. It is shown that such a problem in a space of sequences is equivalent to some initial boundary value problems for partial differential equations. Thus, this paper obtains key results that make it possible to determine the properties of the initial value problem involving the Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan derivative by examining the properties of the operator in the equation; the results prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution and the correctness of the problem.
Nonlinear Inverse Problems for Equations with Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan Derivatives Vladimir E. Fedorov, Marina V. Plekhanova, Daria V. Melekhina Fractal and Fractional, 2023 The unique solvability in the sense of classical solutions for nonlinear inverse problems to differential equations, solved for the oldest Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan fractional derivative, is studied. The linear part of the equation contains a bounded operator, a continuous nonlinear operator that depends on lower-order Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan derivatives, and an unknown element. The inverse problem is given by an equation, special initial value conditions for lower Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan derivatives, and an overdetermination condition, which is defined by a linear continuous operator. Applying the fixed-point method for contraction mapping a theorem on the existence of a local unique solution is proved under the condition of local Lipschitz continuity of the nonlinear mapping. Analogous nonlocal results were obtained for the case of the nonlocally Lipschitz continuous nonlinear operator in the equation. The obtained results for the problem in arbitrary Banach spaces were used for the research of nonlinear inverse problems with time-dependent unknown coefficients at lower-order Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan time-fractional derivatives for integro-differential equations and for a linearized system of dynamics of fractional Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic media.
