This invaluable monograph is devoted to a rapidly developing area on the research of qualitative theory of fractional ordinary and partial differential equations. It provides the readers the necessary background material required to go further into the subject and explore the rich research literature. The tools used include many classical and modern nonlinear analysis methods such as fixed point theory, measure of noncompactness method, topological degree method, the technique of Picard operators, critical point theory and semigroup theory. Based on the research work carried out by the authors and other experts during the past seven years, the contents are very recent and comprehensive.In this edition, two new topics have been added, that is, fractional impulsive differential equations, and fractional partial differential equations including fractional Navier-Stokes equations and fractional diffusion equations.

Stability and Controls Analysis for Delay Systems is devoted to stability, controllability and iterative learning control (ILC) to delay systems, including first order system, oscillating systems, impulsive systems, fractional systems, difference systems and stochastic systems raised from physics, biology, population dynamics, ecology and economics, currently not presented in other books on conventional fields. Delayed exponential matrix function approach is widely used to derive the representation and stability of the solutions and the controllability. ILC design are also established, which can be regarded as a way to find the control function. The broad variety of achieved results with rigorous proofs and many numerical examples make this book unique.

This book extends classical Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities to the fractional case via establishing fractional integral identities, and discusses Riemann-Liouville and Hadamard integrals, respectively, by various convex functions. Illustrating theoretical results via applications in special means of real numbers, it is an essential reference for applied mathematicians and engineers working with fractional calculus. Contents Introduction Preliminaries Fractional integral identities Hermite-Hadamard inequalities involving Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals Hermite-Hadamard inequalities involving Hadamard fractional integrals

This book presents fractional difference, integral, differential, evolution equations and inclusions, and discusses existence and asymptotic behavior of their solutions. Controllability and relaxed control results are obtained. Combining rigorous deduction with abundant examples, it is of interest to nonlinear science researchers using fractional equations as a tool, and physicists, mechanics researchers and engineers studying relevant topics.

This book introduces iterative learning control (ILC) and its applications to the new equations such as fractional order equations, impulsive equations, delay equations, and multi-agent systems, which have not been presented in other books on conventional fields. ILC is an important branch of intelligent control, which is applicable to robotics, process control, and biological systems. The fractional version of ILC updating laws and formation control are presented in this book. ILC design for impulsive equations and inclusions are also established. The broad variety of achieved results with rigorous proofs and many numerical examples make this book unique. This book is useful for graduate students studying ILC involving fractional derivatives and impulsive conditions as well as for researchers working in pure and applied mathematics, physics, mechanics, engineering, biology, and related disciplines.
