Abstract

We investigate in this manuscript the existence of solution for two fractional differential inclusions. At first we discuss the existence of solution of a class of fractional hybrid differential inclusions. To illustrate our results we present an illustrative example. We study the existence and dimension of the solution set for some fractional differential inclusions.

Keywords: Fixed point, Fractional hybrid differential inclusions, Dimension solution set

Background

As you know, fractional dynamical systems be used in modeling of some real processes and there are many published works about the existence of solutions for many fractional differential equations (see for example Baleanu et al. 2013a, b, c; Chai 2013 and the references therein) and inclusions (see for example, Benchohra and Hamidi 2010; Agarwal et al. 2013; Ahmad et al. 2013; Nieto et al. 2013; Ouahab 2008; Phung and Truong 2013; Bragdi et al. 2013 and the references therein). For finding more details about elementary notions and definitions of fractional differential equations and inclusions one can study well-known books (see for example Aubin and Ceuina 1984; Deimling 1992; Kilbas et al. 2006; Kisielewicz 1991; Podlubny 1999). Recently, it has been published many useful works about modeling of fractional differential equations via providing different applications in some fields (see for example Atangana 2016; Atangana and Alkahtani 2016; Atangana and Koca 2016a, b). In this article, we first review the existence solution for the fractional hybrid derivative inclusion cDαy(s)g(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))G(s,y(s),Iβ1y(s),,Iβky(s)) with boundary conditions y(0)=y0 and y(1)=y1, where 1<α2, α1,,αn>0, β1,,βk>0, y0,y1R, cDα denotes Caputo fractional derivative of order α, g:J×RnR-{0} is continuous and G:J×RkP(R) is a multifunction via some properties. Also, we review existence and dimension of the solution set of fractional derivative inclusion

cDαy(s)Gs,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),,Iγky(s)

with boundary condition y(0)+i=1kcDβiy(1)+i=1kIγiy(1)=0, where 0<βi<α1 and 0<γi<1 for i=1,,k, G:J×R2k+3P(R) is a multifunction via some properties, γ,λ:J×J[0,) are two mappings with the properties supsJ|0sλ(s,t)ds|< and supsJ|0sγ(s,t)ds|< and the functions ϕ and ψ are defined by (ϕy)(s)=0sγ(s,t)y(t)dt and (ψy)(s)=0sλ(s,t)y(t)dt.

Preliminaries

Suppose that (X,d) be a metric space. Denote by P(X) and 2X the class of all subsets and the class of all nonempty subsets of X respectively. Here, Pcl(X), Pbd(X), Pcv(X) and Pcp(X) denote the class of all closed, bounded, convex and compact subsets of X respectively. A mapping Q:X2X is called a multifunction on X and xX is called a fixed point of Q whenever xQx (Deimling 1992). A multifunction Q:XP(X) is called lower semi-continuous whenever the set Q-1(A):={xX:QxA} is open for each open subset A of X (Kisielewicz 1991). If the set {xX:QxA} is open for each open set A of X, then we say that Q is upper semi-continuous (Kisielewicz 1991). A multifunction Q:XP(X) is called compact whenever Q(S)¯ is a compact for each bounded subsets S of X (Aubin and Ceuina 1984). A multifunction Q:JPcl(R) is said to be measurable whenever the function sd(y,Q(s))=inf{|y-z|:zQ(s)} is measurable for all yR and sJ=[0,1] (Deimling 1992). The Pompeiu–Hausdorff metric H=Hd on 2X×2X into [0,) is defined by H(A,B)=max{supaAd(a,B),supbBd(A,b)}, where d(A,b)=infaAd(a;b) (Berinde and Pacurar 2013). Then (Pbd,cl(X),H) is a metric space and (Pcl(X),H) is a generalized metric space (Berinde and Pacurar 2013). A multifunction Q:XPcl(X) is called a contraction whenever there exists γ(0,1) such that Hd(Q(x),Q(y))γd(x,y) for all x,yX (Covitz and Nadler 1970). Covitz and Nadler (1970) proved that each closed valued contractive multifunction on a complete metric space has a fixed point. We say that Q:J×Rk2R is a Caratheodory multifunction whenever sQ(s,x1,x2,,xk) is measurable for all x1,x2,,xkR and (x1,x2,,xk)Q(s,x1,x2,,xk) is an upper semi-continuous map for almost all sJ (see Aubin and Ceuina 1984; Deimling 1992; Kisielewicz 1991). Also, a Caratheodory multifunction Q:J×Rk2R is called L1-Caratheodory whenever for each ρ>0 there exists ϕρL1(J,R+) such that

Q(s,x1,x2,,xk)=sup{|v|:vQ(s,x1,x2,,xk)}ϕρ(s)

for all |x1|,|x2|,,|xk|ρ and for almost all sJ (see Aubin and Ceuina 1984; Deimling 1992; Kisielewicz 1991).

Lemma 1

(Deimling 1992) IfG:XPcl(Y)is upper semi-continuous, thenGr(G) is a closed subset ofX×Y. IfGis completely continuous and has a closed graph, then it is upper semi-continuous.

Lemma 2

(Lasota and Opial 1965) Suppose thatXis a Banach space,G:J×XPcp,cv(X)anL1-Caratheodory multivalued andΘa linear continuous mapping fromL1(J,X)toC(J,X). Then the mappingΘoSG:C(J,X)Pcp,cvC(J,X)defined by(ΘoSG)(x)=Θ(SG,x)is a closed graph mapping inC(J,X)×C(J,X).

Theorem 3

(Dhage 2006) Suppose thatXis a Banach algebra space,SPbd,cl,cv(X)andA:SPcl,cv,bd(X)andB:SPcp,cv(X)two multifunctions satisfying the following conditions

1.Ais Lipschitz with a Lipschitz constantk,

2.Bis upper semi-continuous and compact,

3.AxBxis a convex subsetSfor allxS,

4.Mk<1, whereM=B(S)=sup{Bx:xS}.

Then, there existsySsuch thatyAyBy.

Lemma 4

(Agarwal et al. 2013) Suppose thatG:[0,1]Pcp,cv(R)is a measurable map such that the Lebesgue measureμof the set{s:dimG(s)<1}is zero. Then there are arbitrarily many linearly independent measurable selectionsx1(.),,xm(.)ofG.

Theorem 5

(Agarwal et al. 2013) Suppose thatCis a nonempty closed convex subset of Banach spaceX. LetG:CPcp,cv(C)b aγ-contraction. IfdimG(x)mfor allxC, thendimFix(G)m.

Main results

First, we review the fractional hybrid differential inclusion

cDαy(s)g(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))Gs,y(s),Iβ1y(s),,Iβky(s) 1

with the boundary conditions y(0)=y0 and y(1)=y1, where 1<α2, α1,,αn>0, β1,,βk>0, y0,y1R, cDα denotes Caputo fractional derivative of order α, g:J×RnR-{0} is continuous and G:J×RkP(R) is a multifunction via some properties.

Lemma 6

Suppose thatxC(J,R), α(1,2]andα1,,αn>0. The unique solution of the fractional differential problemcDαy(s)g(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))=x(s)with the boundary value conditionsy(0)=y0andy(1)=y1is given by

y(s)=g(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))×Iαx(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1f(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαx(1).

Proof

The general solution of the equationcDαy(s)g(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))=x(s) is y(s)=g(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))Iαx(s)+c0+c1s, where c0,c1R are arbitrary constants (see Kilbas et al. 2006; Podlubny 1999). By using the boundary conditions, we get y(0)=g(0,y(0),0,,0n)c0=y0 and y(1)=g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))(Iαx(1)+c0+c1)=y1. Hence, c0=y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n) and c1=y1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-Iαx(1)-y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n). This completes the proof.

yY=C(J,R) is solution for the problem (1) whenever it satisfies the boundary conditions and there exists a function vSG,y such that

y(s)=g(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))×Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1f(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1).

where SG,y={vL1[0,1]:v(s)G(s,y(s),Iβ1y(s),,Iβky(s))foralmostallsJ}.

Theorem 7

LetG:J×Rk+1Pcp,cv(R)be a Caratheodory multifunction, g:J×Rn+1R-{0}is a continuous and bounded function with boundKand there exist continuous functionsp,m:J(0,)such thatG(s,y1,y2,,yk)m(s)and|g(s,y1,y2,,yn+1)-g(s,x1,x2,,xn+1)|p(s)i=1n+1|yi-xi|for allsJ. If

p1+1Γ(α1+1)+1Γ(α2+1)++1Γ(αn+1)2mΓ(α+1)+y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+y1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))<1,

then the problem (1) has a solution.

Proof

Define S={yY:yL}, where

L=K2mΓ(α+1)+y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+y1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1)).

clearly S is a closed, bounded and convex subset of the Banach algebra space Y. Now, consider the multivalued operators A,B:SP(Y) by

Ay(s)=g(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))

and

By(s)=uY:thereexistsvSG,ysuchthatu(s)=Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1)forallsJ.

Thus, the problem (1) is tantamount to the problem yA(y)B(y). We prove that the multifunctions A and B well-defined the conditions of Theorem 3. Note that, the operator B=θSG, where θ is the continuous linear operator on L1(J,R) into Y defined by

θv(s)=Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1).

Let yS be arbitrary and {vn} a sequence in SG,y. Then, vn(s)G(s,y(s),Iβ1y(s),,Iβky(s)) for almost sJ. Because G(s,y(s),Iβ1y(s),,Iβky(s)) is compact for all sJ, there exists a convergent subsequence of {vn(s)} (we show it again {vn(s)}) to some vSG,y. Since θ is continuous, θvn(s)θv(s) pointwise on J. Because we will show that the convergence is uniform, we have to prove that{θvn} is an equi-continuous sequence. Suppose that τ<sJ. So, we have

|θvn(s)-θvn(τ)|m(sα-τα)Γ(α+1))+(s-τ)|y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+y1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-Iαvn(1)|.

Hence the right hand of above inequalities tends to 0 as sτ and so the sequence {θvn} is equi-continuous. By using the Arzela–Ascoli theorem, it has a uniformly convergent subsequence. Thus, there is a subsequence of {vn} (we show it again by {vn}) such that θvnθv. Hence, θvθ(SG,y). Thus, B=θ(SG,y) is compact for all yS. Now, we show that By is convex for all yS. Let yS and u,uBy. Choose v,vSG,y such that

u(s)=Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1),u(s)=Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1)

for almost all sJ. Let 0λ1. Then, we have

λu(s)+(1-λ)u(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1[λv(t)+(1-λ)v(t)]ds+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sΓ(α)01(1-t)α-1[λv(t)+(1-λ)v(t)]dt.

Since G is convex valued, λu+(1-λ)uBy. Cleary, A is bounded, closed and convex valued. We prove that AyBy is a convex subset of S for all yS. Suppose that yS and u,uAyBy. Choose v,vSG,y such that

u(s)=gs,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s)Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1),u(s)=gs,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s)Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,s(1),Iα1s(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1)

for almost all sJ. Hence, we get

λu(s)+(1-λ)u(s)=gs,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s)1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1[λv(t)+(1-λ)v(t)dt+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sΓ(α)01(1-t)α-1[λv(t)+(1-λ)v(t)]dt.

Since G is convex valued, λu+(1-λ)uAyBy. So, AyBy is convex subset of Y for all yY. But, we have

|u(s)|=gs,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s)Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1)K2mΓ(α+1)+y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+y1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))=L

for all sJ. So, uS and AyBy is a convex subset of S for all yS. Here, We show that operator B is compact. For showing this, it is enough to prove that B(S) is uniformly bounded and equi-continuous. Let uB(S). Choose vSG,y such that u(s)=g(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1) for some yS. Hence,

|u(s)|2mΓ(α+1)+y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+y1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))

and so u=maxsJ|u(s)|2mΓ(α+1)+|y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)|+|y1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))|. In this part, prove that B maps S to equi-continuous subsets of Y. Suppose that s,τJ with τ<s, yS and uBy. Choose vSG,y such that u(s)=Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1). Then, we have

|u(s)-u(τ)|m(sα-τα)Γ(α+1)+(s-τ)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+y1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-Iαv(1).

So the right side of inequality towards to 0 as sτ. Hence by using the Arzela–Ascoli theorem, B is compact. Here, we show that B has a closed graph. Suppose that ynS and unByn for all n such that yny and unu. We show that uBy. For each natural number n, choose vnSG,yn such that

un(s)=Iαvn(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαvn(1)

for all sJ. Again, consider the continuous linear operator θ:L1(J,R)Y such that

θ(v)(s)=u(s)=Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1).

By using Lemma 2, θoSG is a closed graph operator. Since yny and unθ(SG,yn) for all n, there is vSG,y such that

u(s)=Iαv(s)+(1-s)y0g(0,y(0),0,,0n)+sy1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1),,Iαny(1))-sIαv(1).

Hence, uBy. This implies that, B has a closed graph and thus the operator B is upper semi-continuous. Now, we show that A is a contractive multifunction. Note that,

H(Ay,Ax)=Ay-Ax=maxsJg(s,y(s),Iα1y(s),,Iαny(s))-g(s,x(s),Iα1x(s),,Iαnx(s))maxsJ(|p(s)||y(s)-x(s)|)1+1Γ(α1+1)+1Γ(α2+1)++1Γ(αn+1)=p1+1Γ(α1+1)+1Γ(α2+1)++1Γ(αn+1)y-x

for all x,yY. So, A and B satisfy the conditions of Theorem 3 and thus the operator inclusions yAyAy has a solution in S. Therefore, the problem (1) has a solution.

To illustrate our main results, we present the following example:

Example 1

Here, we investigation the problem

cD12y(s)(s+1)260siny(s)+|I2y(s)|1+|I2y(s)|+3-1,s2siny(s)+cos(I14y(s))+1()

with the boundary conditions y(0)=π2 and y(1)=0. Put α=12, α1=2, β1=14, n=k=1, y0=π2, y1=0, g(s,y,x)=(s+1)260siny+|x|1+|x|+3, G(s,y,x)=[-1,s2siny+cosx+1], m(s)=s2+2 and p(s)=(s+1)260 for s[0,1]. Note that, G(s,y,x)s2+2,

g(s,y,x)-g(s,y,x)(s+1)260y-y|+|x-x

and p1+1Γ(α1+1)2mΓ(α+1)+|y0g(0,y(0),0)|+|y1g(1,y(1),Iα1y(1))|=0.8784698182<1. By using the Theorem 7, the problem () has a solution.

Now, we review existence and dimension of the solution set of the fractional differential inclusion problem

cDαy(s)Gs,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),,Iγky(s) 2

with boundary condition y(0)+i=1kcDβiy(1)+i=1kIγiy(1)=0, where 0<βi<α1 and 0<γi<1 for i=1,,k, G:J×R2k+3P(R) is a multifunction via some properties, γ,λ:J×J[0,) are two mappings with the properties supsJ|0sλ(s,t)ds|< and supsJ|0sγ(s,t)ds|< and the functions ϕ and ψ are defined by (ϕy)(s)=0sγ(s,t)y(t)dt and (ψy)(s)=0sλ(s,t)y(t)dt.

Lemma 8

Suppose thatvC(J,R), α(0,1]andβi,γi(0,1)withα-βi>0for1ik. Then solution of the problemcDαy(s)=v(s)with the boundary conditiony(0)+i=1kcDβiy(1)+i=1kIγiy(1)=0 is

y(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt.

Proof

The general solution of the problem cDαy(s)=v(s) is formed by

y(s)=Iαv(s)+c0=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+c0,

where c0 is arbitrary constant and tJ (Podlubny 1999). Thus, we obtain

cDβiy(s)=Iα-βiv(s)=1Γ(α-βi)0s(s-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt

and

Iγiy(s)=Iα+γiv(s)+c0sγiΓ(γi+1)=1Γ(α+γi)0s(s-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt+c0sγiΓ(γi+1)

for all 1ik. By using the boundary condition, we get

c0=-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt.

Hence,

y(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt.

This completes the proof.

An element yC(J,R) is a solution for the problem (2) whenever it satisfies the boundary condition and there is a function vL1(J) such that

v(s)G(s,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),,Iγky(s))

for almost all sJ and

y(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt.

Put Y={y:y,cDβiyC(J,R)foreachi{1,,k}} with the norm

y=supsJ|y(s)|+i=1ksupsJ|cDβiy(s)|.

(Y,.) is a Banach space (Su 2009). Define selection set of G at yY by

SG,y:=vL1(J,R):v(s)G(s,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),,Iγky(s))foralmost allsJ.

Theorem 9

Suppose thatmL1(J,R+), l=(Λ1+i=1kΛ2i)<1, where

Λ1=m11+λ0+γ0+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)1Γ(α)+11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)+1Γ(α+γi),

Λ2i=m11+λ0+γ0+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)1Γ(α-βi)fori=1,,k, F:J×R2k+3Pcv,cp(R)is a multifunction such that the mapsG(s,y1,y2,,2k+3)is measurable,

G(s,y1,y2,,2k+3)=sup{|v|:vG(s,y1,y2,,2k+3)}m(s)

andH(G(s,y1,y2,,y2k+3)),G(s,x1,x2,,x2k+3))m(s)i=12k+3(|yi-xi|)for almost allsJandx1,x2,,x2k+3,y1,y2,,y2k+3R. Then the inclusion problem (2) has a solution.

Proof

Note that, the multivalued map

sGs,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),,Iγky(s)

is measurable and closed valued for all yY. Hence, it has a measurable selection and so the set SG,y is nonempty. Now, consider the operator Υ:Y2Y defined by

Υ(y)=ξX:there isvSG,y:ξ(s)=ν(s)for allsJ,

where

ν(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt

for all sJ. Here, we prove that Υ(y) is a closed subset of Y for each yY. Let yY and {un}n1 be a sequence in Υ(y) with unu. For each n, choose vnSG,y such that

un(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1vn(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1vn(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1vn(t)dt

for almost all sJ. because G has compact values, {vn}n1 has a subsequence which converges to a vL1(J,R). We write it again by {vn}n1. Clearly vSG,y and

un(s)u(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt

for all sJ. This implies that uΥ(x). Thus, the multifunction Υ has closed values. Now, we show that Υ is a contractive multifunction with constant l=(Λ1+i=1kΛ2i)<1. Suppose that x,yY and h1Υ(x). Consider v1SG,x such that

h1(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v1(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v1(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v1(t)dt

for almost all sJ. Since

HGs,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),,Iγky(s),Gs,x(s),(ϕx)(s),(ψx)(s),cDβ1x(s),,cDβkx(s),Iγ1x(s),,Iγkx(s)m(t)|y(s)-x(s)|+|(ϕy)(s)-(ϕx)(s)|+|(ψy)(s)-(ψx)(s)|+i=1kcDβiy(s)-cDβix(s)+i=1kIγiy(s)-Iγix(s)

for almost all sJ, there is

νGs,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),,Iγky(s)

such that

|v1(s)-ν|m(s)|y(s)-x(s)|+|(ϕy)(s)-(ϕx)(s)|+|(ψy)(s)-(ψx)(s)|+i=1kcDβiy(s)-cDβix(s)+i=1kIγiy(s)-Iγix(s)

for almost all sJ. Define the multifunction Δ:J2R by

Δ(s)=νR:|v1(s)-ν|m(s)|y(s)-x(s)|+|(ϕy)(s)-(ϕx)(s)|+|(ψy)(s)-(ψx)(s)|+i=1kcDβiy(s)-cDβix(s)+i=1kIγiy(s)-Iγix(s)for almost allsJ.

The multifunction

Δ(.)G.,y(.),(ϕy)(.),(ψy)(.),cDβ1y(.),cDβ2y(.),,cDβky(.),Iγ1y(.),Iγ2y(.),,Iγky(.)

is measurable. Thus, we can choose v2SG,y such that

|v1(s)-v2(s)|m(s)|y(s)-x(s)|+|(ϕy)(s)-(ϕx)(s)|+|(ψy)(s)-(ψx)(s)|+i=1kcDβiy(s)-cDβix(s)+i=1kIγiy(s)-Iγix(s)

for almost all sJ. Now, define h2Υ(y) by

h2(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v2(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v2(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v2(t)dt.

So

|h1(s)-h2(s)|1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1|v1(t)-v2(t)|dt+11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1|v1(t)-v2(t)|dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1|v1(t)-v2(t)|dtΛ1y-x

and |cDβih1(s)-cDβih2(s)|1Γ(α-βi)0s(s-t)α-βi-1|v1(t)-v2(t)|Λ2ix-y and so we get h1-h2(Λ1+i=1kΛ2i)x-y=lx-y. This implies that the multifunction N is a contraction via closed values. By using the well-known theorem of Covitz and Nadler, N has a fixed point which is a solution for the inclusion problem (2).

Lemma 10

Suppose thatmL1(J,R+), G:J×R2k+3Pcv,cp(R)is a multifunction such that the mapsG(s,y1,y2,,y2k+3)is measurable,

G(s,y1,y2,,y2k+3)=sup{|v|:vG(s,y1,y2,,y2k+3)}m(s)

for almost allsJandy1,y2,,y2k+3RandΥ:YP(Y)is defined by

Υ(y)=ξY:there isvSG,y:ξ(s)=ν(s)for allsJ,

where

ν(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt.

Then, Υ(y)Pcp.cv(Y)for allyY.

Proof

Note that the operator Υ=θSG, where θ is the continuous linear operator on L1(J,R) into Y which is defined by

θv(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt.

Suppose that yY and {vn} is a sequence in SG,y. so,

vn(s)Gs,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),,Iγky(s)

for almost sJ. Since

Gs,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),,Iγky(s)

is compact for all sJ, there exists a convergent subsequence of {vn(s)} (we show it again by {vn(s)}) which converges to some vSG,y. Since θ is continuous, θvn(s)θv(s) pointwise on J. Because we show that the convergence is uniform, we must prove that {θvn} is an equi-continuous sequence. Let τ<sJ. Then

|θvn(s)-θvn(τ)|=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1vn(t)dt-1Γ(α)0τ(τ-t)α-1vn(t)dt1Γ(α)0τ((s-t)α-1-(τ-t)α-1)vn()dt|+|1Γ(α)τs(s-t)α-1vn(t)dt.

Note that, the right side of the inequality towards to zero when τs. So, the sequence {θvn} is equi-continuous and so by using the Arzela–Ascoli theorem there is a uniformly convergent subsequence. Thus, there exists a subsequence of {vn} (we show it again by {vn}) such that θvnθv. This implies that θvθ(SG,y). Hence, Υy=θ(SG,y) is compact for all yY. Now, we prove that Υy is convex for each yY. Let h,hΥy. Choose v,vSG,y such that

h(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt

and

h(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt

for almost all sJ. Let 0λ1. Then, we have

λh(s)+(1-λ)h(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1(λv(t)+(1-λ)v(t))ds+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1(λv(t)+(1-λ)v(t))dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1(λv(t)+(1-λ)v(t))dt.

Since SG,y is convex, λh+(1-λ)hΥy. This completes the proof.

One can check that the fixed point set of Υ is equal to the set of all solutions of the problem (2).

Theorem 11

Suppose thatmL1(J,R+), G:J×R2k+3Pcv,cp(R)is a multifunction such that the mapsG(s,y1,y2,,y2k+3)is measurable,

HG(s,y1,y2,,y2k+3),G(s,x1,x2,,x2k+3)m(s)i=12k+3|yi-xi|

andG(s,y1,y2,,y2k+3)=sup{|v|:vG(s,y1,y2,,y2k+3)}m(s)for almost allsJandx1,x2,,x2k+3,y1,y2,y2k+3R. If Lebesgue measure of the set

s:dimG(s,y1,y2,,y2k+3)<1for somey1,y2,,y2k+3R

is zero and l<1, then the set of all solutions of the problem (2) is infinite dimensional, wherelis defined in Theorem9.

Proof

Define the operator Υ by

Υ(y)=ξY:there existsvSG,ysuch thatξ(s)=ν(s)for allsJ,

where

ν(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1v(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1v(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)dt.

By using Lemma 10, ΥxPcp,cv(Y) for each yY. Like to the Theorem 9, Υ is contraction. we show that dimΥy>m for each yY and m1. Let yY and

F(s)=G(s,y(s),(ϕy)(s),(ψy)(s),cDβ1y(s),cDβ2y(s),,cDβky(s),Iγ1y(s),Iγ2y(s),,Iγky(s))

for all sJ. By using Lemma 4, there exist linearly independent measurable selections v1,,vm for F. Put

hi(s)=1Γ(α)0s(s-t)α-1vi(t)dt+-11+i=1k1Γ(γi+1)i=1k1Γ(α-βi)01(1-t)α-βi-1vi(t)dt+1Γ(α+γi)01(1-t)α+γi-1v(t)idt

for i=1,,m. Assume that i=1maihi(s)=0 for almost sJ. By using the Caputo derivatives, we get i=1maivi(s)=0 for almost sJ. Hence, a1=,an=0. This implies that h1,,hm are linearly independent. Thus, dimΥym. Now by using Theorem 5, the set of fixed points of Υ is infinite dimensional.

Conclusions

The existence of solution for fractional differential inclusions is an important task which can be used successfully in solving real world problems from many fields of science and engineering. Thus, in our paper we analyze firstly the existence of solution of a given class of fractional hybrid differential inclusions. An example was give in order to show the reported results Secondly we concentrate our attention on proving the existence and dimension of the solution set for some fractional differential inclusions. These results are useful for the numerical studies involving the investigated equations.
