ON HADAMARD FRACTIONAL CALCULUS

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the Hadamard fractional calculus in three aspects. First, we study the semigroup and reciprocal properties of the Hadamard-type fractional operators. Then, the definite conditions of certain class of Hadamard-type fractional differential equations (HTFDEs) are proposed through the Banach contraction mapping principle. Finally, we prove a novel Gronwall inequality with weak singularity and analyze the dependence of solutions of HTFDEs on the derivative order and the perturbation terms along with the proposed initial value conditions. The illustrative examples are presented as well.
