Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions for Initial Value Problem of Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations

We discuss the initial value problem for the nonlinear fractional differential equation L(D)u=f(t,u),  t∈(0,1],  u(0)=0, where L(D)=Dsn-an-1Dsn-1-⋯-a1Ds1, 0<s1<s2<⋯<sn<1, and aj<0, j=1,2,…,n-1, Dsj is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative and f:[0,1]×ℝ→ℝ is a given c...
