Nonlocal cauchy problem for delay fractional integrodifferential equations of neutral type
Advances in Difference Equations volume 2012, Article number: 47 (2012)
Abstract
This article concerns the existence of mild solutions for the fractional integrodifferential equations of neutral type with finite delay and nonlocal conditions in a Banach space X. The existence of mild solutions is proved by means of measure of noncompactness. As an application, the existence of mild solutions for some integrodifferential equation is obtained.

1 Introduction
The fractional differential equations have received increasing attention during recent years and have been studied extensively (see, e.g., [1–10] and references therein) since they can be used to describe many phenomena arising in viscoelasticity, electrochemistry, control, porous media, electromagnetic, etc.
Moreover, the Cauchy problem for various delay equations in Banach spaces has been receiving more and more attention during the past decades (see, e.g., [2, 3, 6, 7, 10–12]).
As in [5, 8, 13–15] and the related references given there, we pay attention to the nonlocal condition because in many cases a nonlocal condition v(0) + g(v) = v0 is more realistic than the classical condition v(0) = v0 in treating physical problems. To the author's knowledge, few articles can be found in the literature for the solvability of the fractional order delay integrodifferential equations of neutral type with nonlocal conditions.
In this article, we concern with the following nonlocal neutral delay fractional integrodifferential equations
where T > 0, 0 < q < 1, 0 < r < ∞. The fractional derivative is understood here in the Caputo sense. X is a separable Banach space. A is a closed operator. Here h: [0, T] × C([-r, 0], X) → X, f: [0, T] × C([-r, 0], X) → X, a: ∆ × C([-r, 0], X) → X(∆ = {(t, s) ∈ [0, T] × [0, T]: t ≥ s}), g: C([-r, 0], X) → C([-r, 0], X), ϕ ∈ C([-r, 0], X), where C([a, b], X) denotes the space of all continuous functions from [a, b] to X.
For any continuous function v defined on [-r, T] and any t ∈ [0, T], we denote by v t the element of C([-r, 0], X) defined by v t (θ) = v(t + θ), θ ∈ [-r, 0].
This article is organized as follows. In Section 2, we recall some basic definitions and preliminary results. In Section 3, we give the existence theorem of mild solution of (1.1) and its proof. In the last section, an example is given to show an application of the abstract result.
2 Preliminaries
Throughout this article, we denote by X a separable Banach space with norm ‖ · ‖, by L(X) the Banach space of all linear and bounded operators on X, and by C([a, b], X) the space of all X-valued continuous functions on [a, b] with the supremum norm as follows:
Moreover, we abbreviate with , for any u ∈ Lp ([0, T], R+).
In this article, A is the infinitesimal generator of an uniformly bounded analytic semigroup of linear operators {S(t)}t≥0 in X. We will assume that 0 ∈ ρ(A) (ρ(A) is the resolvent set of X) and that
Under these conditions it is possible to define the fractional power (-A) α , 0 < α < 1, as closed linear operator on its domain D(-A). Recall the knowledge in [16], we have

(1)
there exists a constant M 0 > 0 such that
-
(2)
for any α ∈ (0, 1), there exists a positive constant C α such that
Let us recall the following known definitions. For more details see [9].
Definition 2.1. [9] The fractional integral of order q with the lower limit zero for a function f ∈ AC[0, ∞) is defined as
provided the right side is point-wise defined on [0, ∞), where Γ(·) is the gamma function.
Definition 2.2. [9] Riemann-Liouville derivative of order q with the lower limit zero for a function f ∈ AC[0, ∞) can be written as
Definition 2.3. [9] The Caputo derivative of order q for a function f ∈ AC[0, ∞) can be written as
Remark 2.4. (1) If f(t) ∈ C1[0, ∞), then

(2)
The Caputo derivative of a constant is equal to zero.
We will need the following facts from the theory of measures of noncompactness and condensing maps (see, e.g., [17, 18]).
Definition 2.5. Let E be a Banach space anda partially ordered set. A functionis called a measure of noncompactness (MNC) in E if
where P(E) denotes the class of all nonempty subsets of E.
A MNC β is called:
(i) monotone, if Ω0, Ω1 ∈ P(E), Ω0 ⊂ Ω1implies β(Ω0) ≤ β (Ω1);
(ii) nonsingular, if β({a0} ∪ Ω) = β(Ω) for every a0∈ E, Ω ∈ P(E);
(iii) invariant with respect to union with compact sets, if β ({D} ∪ Ω) = β(Ω) for every relatively compact set D ⊂ E, Ω ∈ P(E).
If
is a cone in a normed space, we say that the MNC β is
(iv) algebraically semiadditive, if β(Ω0 + Ω1) ≤ β(Ω0) + β(Ω1) for each Ω0, Ω1∈ P(E);
(v) regular, if β(Ω) = 0 is equivalent to the relative compactness of Ω;
(vi) real, ifis [0, + ∞) with the natural order.
As an example of the MNC possessing all these properties, we may consider the Hausdorff MNC
Now, let be a multifunction. It is called:
-
(i)
integrable, if it admits a Bochner integrable selection for a.e. ;
-
(ii)
integrably bounded, if there exists a function such that
We present the following assertion about χ-estimates for a multivalued integral [[18], Theorem 4.2.3].
Proposition 2.6. For an integrable, integrably bounded multifunction where X is a separable Banach space, let
where . Then for all.
Let E be a Banach space, β a monotone nonsingular MNC in E.
Definition 2.7. A continuous map is called condensing with respect to a MNC β (or β-condensing) if for every bounded set Ω ⊆ Y which is not relatively compact, we have
The following fixed point principle (see, e.g., [17, 18]) will be used later.
Theorem 2.8. Letbe a bounded convex closed subset of E and a β-condensing map. Then is nonempty.
Theorem 2.9. Let V ⊂ E be a bounded open neighborhood of zero and a β-condensing map satisfying the boundary condition
for all x ∈ ∂V and 0 . Then is a nonempty compact set.
We state a generalization of Gronwall's lemma for singular kernels [[19], Lemma 7.1.1].
Lemma 2.10. Let x, y: [0, T] → [0, + ∞) be continuous functions. If y(·) is nondecreasing and there are constantsand 0 < ξ < 1 such that
then there exists a constant κ = κ(ξ) such that
According to Definitions 2.1-2.3, we can rewrite the nonlocal Cauchy problem (1.1) in the equivalent integral equation
provided that the integral in (2.1) exists, where
and h(0, ϕ + g(v)): = h(0, ϕ(θ) + g(v)(θ)), θ ∈ [-r, 0].
Set
Using the similar method in [1], formally applying the Laplace transform to (2.1), we have
then
thus
provided that the integral in (2.2) exists.
We consider the one-sided stable probability density in [4] as follows:
whose Laplace transform is given by
Then, using (2.3), we have
and
Similarly, we have
and
Thus, from (2.4)-(2.7), we obtain
We invert the last Laplace transform to obtain
where ξ q is a probability density function defined on (0, ∞) such that
For any z ∈ X, we define operators {Q(t)}t≥0and {R(t)}t≥0by
Then from above induction, we can give the following definition of the mild solution of (1.1).
Definition 2.11. A continuous function v: [-r, T] → X is a mild solution of (1.1) if the function v satisfies the equation
Remark 2.12. (i) Noting that , we obtain
(ii) According to[4], direct calculation gives that
then, we can obtain
(iii) For any α ∈ (0, 1), we have
Indeed, for any z ∈ X we can see that
3 Main results
We will require the following assumptions.

for almost all t ∈ [0, T].

There exists M 2 > 0 such that for any bounded set D ⊂ C([-r, 0], X),
(Ha) (1) a: ∆ × C([-r, 0], X) → X and a(t, s, ·): C([-r, 0], X) → X is continuous for a.e. (t, s) ∈ ∆, and for each w ∈ C([-r, 0], X), the function a(·,·, w): ∆ → X is measurable. Moreover, there exists a function m: ∆ → R+ with such that
for almost all (t, s) ∈ ∆.

-
(2)
The function g(v)(·): [-r, 0] → C([-r, 0], X) is equicontinuous and uniformly bounded, that is, there exists a constant N > 0 such that
Theorem 3.1. Assume that (Hf), (Hh), (Ha) and (Hg) are satisfied, if
(1),
(2),
where and . Then the mild solutions set of problem(1.1) is a nonempty compact subset of the space C([-r, T], X).
Proof. Define the operator in the following way:
It is clear that the operator is well defined.
The operator can be written in the form , where the operators are defined as follows:
Let {vn }n∈Nbe a sequence such that vn → v in C([-r, T], X) as n → ∞. By the continuity of g and h, we can see that is continuous.
Moreover, noting (2.10), we have
Since f satisfies (Hf)(1) and a satisfies (Ha)(1), for almost every t ∈ [0, T] and (t, s) ∈ ∆, we get
Noting that vn → v in C([-r, T], X), we can see that there exists ε > 0 such that ║vn - v║[-r, T]≤ ε for n sufficiently large. Therefore, we have
and similarly,
It follows from the Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem that
and
Therefore, we obtain that
Now, from (3.3), we can see that is continuous.
Let χ be a Hausdorff MNC in X, we consider the measure of noncompactness β in the space C([-r, T], X) with values in the cone of the following way: for every bounded subset Ω ⊂ C([-r, T], X),
where mod c (Ω) is the module of equicontinuity of Ω given by:
where L > 0 is a constant chosen so that
Noting that for any γ ∈ L1([0, T], X), we have
so, we can take the appropriate L to satisfy (3.4)-(3.6).
Next, we show that the operator is β-condensing on every bounded subset of C([-r, T], X).
Let Ω ⊂ C([-r, T], X) be a nonempty, bounded set such that
Firstly, we estimate Ψ(Ω). For t ∈ [-r, 0], v1, v2 ∈ Ω, we have
then
therefore,
For t ∈ [0, T], one gets
thus, we have
Moreover, we see that
For t ∈ [0, T], noting that
then we have
where Ω t = {v t : v ∈ Ω}. Therefore
Now, from (3.8)-(3.10), and (3.12), we can see
For any t ∈ [0, T], we set
We consider the multifunction s ∈ [0, t] ⊸ G(s),
Obviously, G is integrable, and from (Hh)(1) it follows that it is integrably bounded. Moreover, noting that (Hh)(2) and (3.11), we have the following estimate for a.e. s ∈ [0, t]:
Applying Proposition 2.6, we have
Therefore,
Similar to above induction, if we set
then we can see that the multifunction ,
is integrable, and from (Hf)(1), (Ha)(1) it follows that it is integrably bounded. Moreover, noting that (Hf)(2), (Ha)(2), Proposition 2.6 and (3.11), we have the following estimate for a.e. s ∈ [0, t]:
furthermore,
Now, it follows from (3.14) and (3.15) that . Then, noting (3.13) and choose L i (i = 1, 2) such that
where .
From (3.7), we have Ψ(Ω) = 0. Next, we will prove mod c (Ω) = 0.
Let δ > 0, t1, t2 ∈ [0, T] such that 0 < |t1- t2| ≤ δ and v ∈ Ω, we obtain
Moreover, noting that (Hg)(2) and the continuity of S(t) in the uniform operator topology for t > 0 we have
For 0 < t2< t1≤ T and v ∈ Ω, we have
Noting that s → AS((t1-s) qσ) h (s, v s ) is integrable on [0, t1), then I1 → 0, as t2 → t1. In view of the fact that {S(t)}t≥0is an analytic semigroup, then for s ∈ [0, t), σ ∈ (0, ∞), the operator function s → AS((t - s) qσ) is continuous in the uniform operator topology in [0, t) and noting that s → h(s, v s ) is integrable on [0, t], I2 → 0, as t2 → t1. Obviously I3 → 0, as t2 → t1.
Moreover, nothing that
we have
Clearly, the first term on the right-hand side of (3.17) tends to 0 as t2→ t1. The second term on the right-hand side of (3.17) tends to 0 as t2→ t1 as a consequence of the continuity of S(t) in the uniform operator topology for t > 0. It is easy to see that the third term on the right-hand side of (3.17) tends to 0 as t2→ t1.
Thus, the set is equicontinuous, then .
Since
then mod c (Ω) = 0, which yields from (3.7). Hence
The regularity property of β implies the relative compactness of Ω.
Now, it follows from Definition 2.7 that is β-condensing.

and
for t ∈ [0, T], wehave
then
Moreover, for t ∈ [0, T], from (2.10) and (3.18) we have
and from (2.9), (Hf)(1) and (Ha)(1) we get
