Abstract: In this paper, we discuss solvability of infinite system of fractional integral equations (FIE) of mixed type. To achieve this goal, we first use shifting distance function to establish a new generalization of Darbo’s fixed point theorem, and then apply it to the FIEs to establish the existence of solution on tempered sequence space. Finally, we verify our results by considering a suitable example.
Keywords: fractional integral equations, measure of noncompactness, fixed point theorem.
1 Introduction
Integral equations have multiple practical applications in modelling specific real world problems and different types of real-life situations, e.g., in laws of physics, in the theory of radioactive transmission, in the theory of statistical mechanics, and in the cytotoxic ac- tivity. The theory of infinite systems of fractional integral equations (FIEs) plays a pivotal role in different fields, which includes various implications in the scaling system theory, the theory of algorithms, etc. There are many real-life problems, which can be modelled by infinite systems of integral equations with fractional order in a very effective manner.
In recent times, the fixed point theory (FPT) has applications in various scientific fields. Also, FPT can be applied seeking solutions for FIE.
Recently, number of articles have been published in connection: with scalar linear im- pulsive Riemann–Liouville fractional differential equations with constant delay-explicit solutions, coupled systems of integral equations of Urysohn Volterra–Chandrasekhar mixed type, noninstantaneous impulsive fractional integro–differential equations, frac- tional differential equations, and proximity theory (the readers can consult the papers [14, 16–18, 22] and references therein).
In [14], Gabeleh and Künzi have established that the existence of best proximity points for cyclic nonexpansive mappings is equivalent to the existence of best proximity pairs for noncyclic nonexpansive mappings in the setting of strictly convex Banach spaces by using the projection operator. They have also discussed the convergence of best proximity pairs for noncyclic contractions by applying the convergence of iterative sequences for cyclic contractions.
In [16], Harjani et al. established sufficient condition about the length of the interval for the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to a fractional boundary value problem with Sturm–Liouville boundary conditions when the data function is of Lipschitzian type. Moreover, they have presented an application of our result to the eigenvalues problem and its connection with a Lyapunov-type inequality.
In [17], Hristova and Tersian have studied Riemann–Liouville fractional differential equations with a constant delay and impulses. Also, they have studied the case when the lower limit of the fractional derivative is fixed on the whole interval of consideration and the case when the lower limit of the fractional derivative is changed at any point of im- pulse. The initial conditions as well as impulsive conditions are defined in an appropriate way for both cases. The explicit solutions are obtained and applied to the study of finite- time stability.
In [18], Kataria et al. have established the existence of mild solution for noninstan- taneous impulsive fractional-order integro–differential equations with local and nonlocal conditions in Banach space. Existence results with local and nonlocal conditions are ob- tained through operator semigroup theory using generalized Banach contraction theorem and Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem, respectively. Finally, illustrations are added to validate derived results.
In [22], Nabil has studied the solvability of a coupled system of integral equations of Urysohn Volterra–Chandrasekhar mixed type. To realize the existence of a solution of those mixed systems, he has use the Perov’s fixed point combined with the Leray– Schauder fixed point approach in generalized Banach algebra spaces.
Different real-life situations, which are modeled via FIEs, can be studied using FPT and measure of noncompactness (MNC) (see [2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 13, 19, 21, 23–26]).
