Integrated Resolving Functions for Equations with Gerasimov–Caputo Derivatives

Abstract

The concept of a β-integrated resolving function for a linear equation with a Gerasimov–Caputo fractional derivative is introduced into consideration. A number of properties of such functions are proved, and conditions for the solvability of the Cauchy problem to linear homogeneous and inhomogeneous equations are found in the case of the existence of a β-integrated resolving function. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a function in terms of estimates on the resolvent of its generator are obtained. The example of a β-integrated resolving function for the Schrödinger equation is given. Thus, the paper discusses some aspects of the symmetry of the concepts of integrability and differentiability. Namely, it is shown that, in the absence of a sufficiently differentiable resolving function for a fractional differential equation, the problem of the existence of a solution can be solved by an integrated resolving function of the equation.
