Study of a nonlinear multi-terms boundary value problem of fractional pantograph differential equations

Abstract

In this research work, a class of multi-term fractional pantograph differential equations (FODEs) subject to antiperiodic boundary conditions (APBCs) is considered. The ensuing problem involves proportional type delay terms and constitutes a subclass of delay differential equations known as pantograph. On using fixed point theorems due to Banach and Schaefer, some sufficient conditions are developed for the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the problem under investigation. Furthermore, due to the significance of stability analysis from a numerical and optimization point of view Ulam type stability and its various forms are studied. Here we mention different forms of stability: Hyers–Ulam (HU), generalized Hyers–Ulam (GHU), Hyers–Ulam Rassias (HUR) and generalized Hyers–Ulam–Rassias (GHUR). After the demonstration of our results, some pertinent examples are given.
