nonlinear systems of fractional differential equations

This book studies the theoretical aspects for a variety of coupled fractional differential systems involving Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, ψ-Riemann--Liouville, Hilfer, ψ--Hilfer, Hadamard, Hilfer--Hadamard, Erdelyi--Kober, (k, ψ)-Hilfer, generalized, Proportional, ψ-Proportional, Hilfer--proportional, ψ-Hilfer--proportional type fractional derivative operators, subject to different types of nonlocal boundary conditions. The topic of fractional differential systems is one of the hot and important topics of research as such systems appear in the mathematical modeling of physical and technical phenomena. As the book contains some recent new work on the existence theory for nonlocal boundary value problems of fractional differential systems, it is expected that it will attract the attention of researchers, modelers and graduate students who are interested in doing their research on fractional differential systems.
