1 ON A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH LEFT AND RIGHT FRACTIONAL DERIVATIVES Teodor M. Atanackovic and Bogoljub Stankovic 2 Abstract We treat the fractional order differential equation that contains the left and right Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives. Such equations arise as the Euler-Lagrange equation in variational principles with fractional derivatives. We reduce the problem to a Fredholm integral equation and construct a solution in the space of continuous functions. Two competing approaches in formulating differential equations of fractional order in Mechanics and Physics are compared in a specific example. It is concluded that only the physical interpretation of the problem can give a clue which approach should be taken. Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33; 7H3, 7H25, 7S5; 49S5 Key Words and Phrases: left and right Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives, fractional differential equation, Euler-Lagrange equation, variational principle. Introduction This paper concerns the problem of fractionalization of differential equations of Mechanics. Differential equations of fractional orders appear in many branches of Physics and Mechanics. There are numerous solutions of concrete problems, collected in the books [2], [] and [3], for example. The monograph [] contains, among other results, many references to fractional differential equations. Corresponding author
2 4 T.M. Atanackovic, B. Stankovic In all mentioned works, differential equations of the form D α y = f (y, t), t (, b), () where α R +, are treated. Let m be an integer such that m < α < m. The left Reimann-Liouville fractional derivative of order α, which appears in () is defined as [ D α y(t) = dm dt m Γ (m α) y (τ) (t τ) α+ m dτ ], m < α < m, (2) where Γ is Euler s gamma function. Similarly, the right Riemann-Liouville derivative of order α is defined as [ D α y(t) = ( ) m dm b ] y (τ) dt m Γ (m α) α+ m dτ, m < α < m. t (τ t) (3) There are two different approaches in formulating differential equations of fractional order in Mechanics and Physics. In the first direct approach, the ordinary (integer order) derivative in a differential equation is replaced by a fractional derivative. Such a procedure gives reasonable results in many areas, for example, in the viscoelasticity. In the second approach, one modifies Hamilton s principle (least action principle) by replacing the integer order derivative by a fractional one. Then, minimization of the action integral leads to the differential equation of the system. This second approach is considered to be, from the stand point of Physics, the more sound one (see for example, [7]). Note that in the second approach the resulting fractional differential equation is not of the form () but in the form that we discuss next. Namely, if the modification is made on the level of the variational principle, we are faced with the following type of minimization problem with fractional derivatives (see [4], [5], [6], [7] and [2]): find a minimum of the functional where I [y] = F (t, y, D α y) dt, (4) y () = y, y (b) = y. (5) In (4) and (5), y(t) is a function having continuous left Riemann-Liouville derivative D α y of order α, and F (t, y, D α y) is a function with continuous first and second partial derivatives with respect to all its arguments. It
3 ON A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH... 4 is shown in [5], [6] and [7] that a necessary condition that y(t) gives an extremum to (5) is that it satisfies the Euler-Lagrange equation [ ] F D α D α + F =. (6) y y In the special case treated in [7] (motion of a particle in a fractal medium) the function F has the form F = m 2 [Dα y] 2 U (y, t), (7) where m and U are the usual mass, assumed to be constant, and the potential energy of the particle. With (7), equation (6) becomes m (D α D α y) (t) = U y. In the special case when U = λ 2 y2 + yg + h, where λ = const and g and h are given functions, we obtain (D α D α y) (t) = λy (t) + g (t). (8) We shall analyze (8) for the case when < α <. Our main result concerns the existence of a solution y (t, α) to (8) and its behavior in the limit when α. It is important to note that (4) is not the only type of functional used in fractional order physics. In [8] and [9] convolution type functionals are considered resulting in two Euler-Lagrange equations, called advanced and retarded equations. Another type of functionals are used in []. Namely, in [] in the function F (t, y, D α y) the derivative D α y is replaced with the symmetric fractional differential operator Dy = 2 [Dα y + D α y]. In this way, one is not, ab initio, favoring left or right fractional derivatives. As far as we are aware, equations of type (8), are solved only in [6] and [7] in some very special cases. In the next section we construct a solution to (8), reducing it to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind with singular kernel K (t, u). If /2 α <, then K (t, u) L 2 ((, b) (, b)) and it can be easily proved that (8) has a solution in L 2 (, b), cf. [4] (for the theory of integral equations with singular kernels on Hölder spaces one can consult [] and [6]). But we usually need a continuous solution to (8). That was the reason that we restricted ourselves in this paper to the problem of finding a solution in the space C ([, b]) of continuous functions on [, b].
4 42 T.M. Atanackovic, B. Stankovic 2. A solution to equation (8) 2.. Preliminaries First we list some properties of fractional integrals and derivatives. Let I α and I α denote (I α f) (t) = f (τ) Γ (α) α dτ, (t τ) (I α f) (t) = Γ (α) t f (τ) (τ t) α dτ. If < α < and f L (, b), then I α f and I α exist almost everywhere in (, b). Also D α I α f = f (cf. [], Theorem 2.4). It is also easily seen that D α I α f = f. Let Q b be the operator (Q b f) (t) = f (b t). For this operator we know that Q b I α = I α Q b and D α Q b = Q b D α. Now it is easily seen that D α I α f = D α Q b Q b I α f = Q b D α I α Q b f = Q b Q b f = f. The following lemma can be easily proved: Lemma. If g C([, b]), then I α g, I α g and I α I α g belong to C([, b]), as well. and With the change of the variable τ = t u (I α g)(t) = Γ(α) (I α g)(t + h) (I α g)(t) = Γ(α g(τ)dτ (t τ) α = Γ(α) + Γ(α) t+h t g(t u) u α du (g(t + h u) g(t u))du u α g(t + h u) u α du, t b. Since g C([, b]), it is also uniformly continuous on [, b]. For ε > there exist δ > and δ 2 > such that g(t + h u) g(t u) < ε, h < δ and (t + h) α t α < ε, h < δ 2. Let δ = min(δ, δ 2 ) and M = max g(t), t b. Then (I α g)(t + h) (I α g)(t) Γ(α + ) (bα + M)ε, h < δ. This proves that I α g C([, b]).
5 ON A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH To prove that I α g C([, b]) we use the operator Q b, (Q b f)(t) = f(b t). If g is continuous, then Q b g is also continuous on [, b]. With the property of Q b (cf. [], p. 34), I α g = I α Q b Q b g = Q b I α Q b g. (9) This proves that I α g C([, b]). It is now easily seen that I α I α g C([, b]) Integral equation which corresponds to equation (8) Lemma 2. If < α < and g C([, b]), then every solution f C([, b]) to the integral equation f(t) λ is also a solution to equation where K α (t, u)f(u)du = G α (t), t b, () (D α D α f)(t) = λf(t) + g(t), t b, () K α (t, u) = q(u, τ) Γ 2 dτ ; (α) (t τ) α { (u τ) q(u, τ) = α, b u > τ u < τ b; (2) G α (t) = (I α I α g)(t) C([, b]). (3) P r o o f. Let us give to the expression another form: = Γ(α) K α (t, u)f(u)du K α (t, u)f(u)du = Γ 2 f(u) (α) = Γ 2 (α) dτ b (t τ) α Γ(α) τ dτ (t τ) α q(u, τ) dτdu (t τ) α f(u)q(u, τ)du f(u) (u τ) α du = (Iα I α f)(t). (4)
6 44 T.M. Atanackovic, B. Stankovic Consequently, equation () can be given in the form: f(t) λ(i α I α f)(t) = (I α I α g)(t). (5) Suppose that we have a solution f C([, b]) to (). This is also a solution to (5). But we will show that it is a solution to (), as well. For that it is enough to prove the assertion that for h C([, b]) we have D α D α (I α I α h) = h. We have seen that if h L (, b), then D α I α h = h and D α I α h = h. Thus D α D α (I α I α h) = D α (D α I α ) I α h = h. By applying the operator D α D α to (5) we obtain (), which proves Lemma Construction of a solution to (8) Theorem 3. Let < α < and let g C([, b]) and g. If λ < Γ 2 (α+), then b 2α (D α D α f)(t) = λf(t) + g(t), t b, (6) has a solution belonging to C([, b]). This solution f α is given by the Neumann series: where K α G α (t) = f α (t) = G α (t) + λk α G α (t) + λ 2 K 2 αg α (t) +..., t b, (7) K α (t, u)g α (u)du and K n αg α (t) = K α (K n α G α )(t), n 2; the function K α (t, u) is given by (2) and G α (t) by (3). The series (7) converges in C([, b]). P r o o f. Let us construct the Neumann series using the sequence: which gives f = G α, f n = K α f n, n 2, n f n = λ j KαG j α j= (cf. (7)). Since g C([, b]), by Lemma the function G α, given by (3) belongs to C([, b]), as well. Also by (5) K α G α and K n αg α, n 2,
7 ON A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH belong to C([, b]). Consequently, the addends in the Neumann series (7) are continuous functions. Now to prove that the series converges in C([, b]), we need a majorant for K n αg α (t), n. Let us find it: K α G α (t) = (I α I α G α )(t) = Γ 2 (α) Γ 2 (α) α Γ 2 (α) α Γ 2 b α (α) b (t τ) α τ ( G α (u) ) (t τ) α (u τ) α du dτ (u τ) α du dτ Gα (b τ) α (t τ) α dτ G α (t τ) α dτ G α τ Γ 2 (α + ) b2α G α, where f = max f (t) is the norm in C([, b]). It follows that K αg α (t) t b b 2α ( ) Γ 2 (α + ) G α and KαG n α (t) b 2α n Gα b. Since λ 2α Γ 2 (α+) Γ 2 (α+) <, the series in (7) converges in C([, b]). If we apply the operator K α to this series, then K α can be applied on every addend of the series: K α λ j KαG j α = λ j+ Kα j+ G α = f G α, or K α lim j= n j= j= n n+ λ j KαG j α = lim n j= λ j K j G = lim n f n G α, in C([, b]). Consequently the function given by the Neumann series (7) is a solution to (6). Remarks:. In case λ =, g L (, b) and g(b t) Kt ε α, ε >, < t < b, all the solutions to equation (D α D α f)(t) = g(t), < t < b, in L (, b) are of the form: f α (t) = (I α I α g)(t) + C (I α (b τ) α )(t) + C 2 t α, < t < b. (8) This follows from the fact that D α f = if and only if f(t) = Ct α. Also, D α f = if and only if f(t) = C(b t) α (cf. [5]).
8 46 T.M. Atanackovic, B. Stankovic 2. If in equation (6) g(t) is of the form then a solution to this equation is g(t) = C (I α (b τ) α )(t) + C 2 t α, f α (t) = λ C (I α (b τ) α )(t) λ C 2t α. (9) 3. In both cases (cf. (8) and (9)) the solution to (6) contains constants C and C 2 which can be determined so that the solution f α satisfies additional conditions of the form f α () = f, f α (b) = f. However, in the general case, to satisfy these conditions we have to call for an appropriate additional condition for g. We find such condition on g (t) by analyzing boundary conditions f α () = f α (b) =. Let g (t) be( given in the form g (t) = h (t) + cp (t), where h (t) C ([, b]) and p (t) = I α (b τ) α ) (t), with c = const. and /2 < α <. By the results of Theorem 3, equation (6), with g = h, has a solution f α (t) given by (7). This solution satisfies initial condition f α () =. If it also satisfies f α (b) =, then g (t) can be just h (t). Otherwise, for g (t) = h (t) cp (t), c = λh(b) p(b), equation (6) has a solution which satisfies the prescribed boundary conditions (cf. Remarks,.) Example We treat an example that will show relation between two approaches of fractional generalizations of equations of physics (see [7]). Thus, we consider the problem of minimizing the following functional I = { 2 [Dα f] 2 + Af } dt (2) with /2 < α < and A L (, ), A ( t) at ε α, ε >, a being a given constant. Also we assume that f () = f () =. (2) The Euler Lagrange equation for the functional (2) reads (D α D α f) (t) + A (t) =. (22) The boundary conditions corresponding to (22) are (2). result in Remark. we have a family of solutions to (22) Applying the f α (t) = (I α I α A) (t) + C (I α ( t) α ) (t) + C 2 t α, < t <. (23)
9 ON A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH To satisfy the boundary condition (2) we have to take C 2 =. The second constant C can be found from the condition f α () =, i.e., lim t Γ 2 (α) + lim t C dτ (t τ) α Γ (α) τ A (u) (u τ) α du dτ (t τ) α ( τ) α. Both limits exist because of assumptions on A (t) and α. 3. The limit of solution (7) when α Theorem 4. Let λ < max α [ε, ε] Γ 2 (α+), ε >. Then: b 2α ) The series (7) which defines a solution to (6) converges uniformly on [, b] [ε, ε] to a function f (t, α) C([, b] [ε, ε]). Let f (t) denote the function f (t) = lim (t, α). Then the function f C ([, b]). α f 2) If in addition f C 2 ([, b]), f (3) L (, b) and f (2) (t, α) f (2) (t), α, uniformly in t [η, η] for every η >, f (3) (t, α) f (3) (t), α, t (, b), then f satisfies: d2 f = λf (t) + g (t), < t < b. dt2 P r o o f. ) In the proof of Theorem 3 we have only to change the condition λ < Γ2 (α+) Γ, by λ < max 2 (α+). Consequently, f C ([, b]). b 2α α [ε, ε] b 2α 2) If t (, b), then there is an η > such that t [η, b η] J η. Consider D α h for an h C 2 ([, b]) and h (3) L (, b) using twice the partial integration we have: (D α h) (t) = t α h () Γ ( α) + t α h () () + Γ (2 α) Whence, for t [η, b η] : lim α (Dα h) (t) = h () () + In the same way we have (D α h ()) (t) = (b t) α Γ ( α) h() (b) (b t) α h (2) (b) Γ (2 α) (t τ) α Γ (2 α) h(2) (τ) dτ. h (2) (τ) dτ = h () (t).

By construction (D α D α f (t, α)) (t) = λf (t, α) + g (t), < t < b. For a t (, b) we can take lim (D α D α f (t, α)) (t) = lim (t, α) + g (t). α α f With the above results, the last limit gives This proves Theorem 4. d2 f (t) = λf (t) + g (t). (24) dt2 4. Conclusion We analyzed the differential equation (8) (D α D α y) (t) = λy (t) + g (t) (25) which follows from the minimization of (4) with F given by (7) and U = λ 2 y2 + yg + h. This equation may be considered as fractional generalization of (24) for < α. The direct way to write fractional generalization of (24) is to consider D β y (t) = λy (t) + g (t), (26) with β 2. For (26) the solution is known and it reads (see [3], p. 4) y β (t) = 2 ( C k t β k E β,β k+ λt β) k= + (t τ) β E β,β ( λ (t τ) β) g (τ) dτ, (27) t where β >, C k, k =, 2 are constants and E α,β (t) = k, α, β >, Γ(αk+β) k= is a two-parameter Mittag-Leffler function. It is interesting to compare (27) for < β < 2 and (7), i.e.,

From (23) (with A (t) = C) we obtain y α (t) = where C = C Γ (α) Γ ( + α) ( τ) α (t τ) α dτ + C ( τ) α (t τ) α dτ, (29) C ( τ)α ( τ) α dτ Γ (α) Γ ( + α) ( τ)α ( τ) α dτ = C (2α ) 2Γ 2 (α + ). The direct approach leads to the solution of D β y β = C, y β () =, y β () = that reads y β (t) = Ctβ ( t), < β < 2. (3) Γ ( + β) We believe that only physics of the problem can give a clue which approach should be taken. References [] K.S. Miller and B.
