Ulam-Type Stability Results for Variable Order Ψ-Tempered Caputo Fractional Differential Equations

Abstract

An initial value problem for nonlinear fractional differential equations with a tempered Caputo fractional derivative of variable order with respect to another function is studied. The absence of semigroup properties of the considered variable order fractional derivative leads to difficulties in the study of the existence of corresponding differential equations. In this paper, we introduce approximate piecewise constant approximation of the variable order of the considered fractional derivative and approximate solutions of the given initial value problem. Then, we investigate the existence and the Ulam-type stability of the approximate solution of the variable order Ψ-tempered Caputo fractional differential equation. As a partial case of our results, we obtain results for Ulam-type stability for differential equations with a piecewise constant order of the Ψ-tempered Caputo fractional derivative.
