Abstract
In the present paper, we consider a nonlinear fractional snap model with respect to a -Caputo derivative and subject to non-periodic boundary conditions. Some qualitative analysis of the solution, such as existence and uniqueness, are investigated in view of fixed-point theorems. Moreover, the stabilities of Ulam–Hyers and Ulam–Hyers–Rassias criterions are considered and investigated. Some numerical simulations were performed using MATLAB for understanding the theoretical results. All results in this work play an important role in understanding ocean engineering phenomena due to the huge applicability of jerk and snap in seakeeping, ride comfort, and shock response spectrum.

1. Introduction
The second derivative of the accelaration (fourth derivative of position) is a physical quantity called a snap or jounce, which can be modeled as:
It is obvious that the model (1) can be reduced to the following equation:
In fact, the terms jerk and snap are exceptionally rare for most individuals, counting physicists and engineers. Scientists jerk and snap are the third and fourth derivatives of our position with regard to time, respectively. Equation (1) contains a 4th-order derivative of the variable , and it describes a 4th-order dynamical vibration model. The corresponding fractional model is achieved by using the fractional derivative (of order less than or equal 1) instead of the standard derivative . Many types of fractional derivatives can be used here, such as the Riemann–Liouville, Caputo and Hadamard. We prefer to use the generalized fractional derivative with respect to differentiable increasing function . Gottlie in [1] applied the method of harmonic balance to non-linear jerk equations, which involves the third order time-derivative. In 2017, Elsonbaty et al., by applying the contraction principle, investigated the following jerk system:
in which derivatives are with respect to time, and and denote positive parameters with [2]. In 2018, Rahman et al. [3] with the help of the modified harmonic balance method, obtained a second approximate solution for a simple nonlinear 3rd-order jerk initial problem formulated as
Additionally, Prakash et al. in [4], introduced an extension of the jerk system to the fractional order jerk system without any equilibrium point, given as:
where , and are orders of fractional type. Many researchers have investigated the sufficient conditions for a wide domain of fractional nonlinear ordinary differential equations by employing methods which include standard fixed-point theorems, iterative approaches, etc. (see [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]). However, to the best of our knowledge, limited results can be found on the existence/stability of solutions for a fractional jerk system via the generalized -Caputo derivative. In 2020, Liu et al., developed two iterative algorithms to determine the periods and then the periodic solutions of nonlinear jerk equations for two possible cases initial values unknown and initial values given [14]. The authors in the recent article [15] considered the —fractional snap model with a constant initial conditions
where the -Caputo derivatives are illustrated by symbol , and such that ; the increasing function is such that and continuous function and , but we here in this article shall use non-periodic boundary conditions that generalize many boundary and initial conditions. The authors in [16] studied the following coupled system of fractional differential equations:
for equipped with the generalized fractional integral boundary conditions
where , and denote the generalized proportional fractional derivatives of Riemann–Liouville type of order ; denote the generalized proportional fractional integrals of order , ; and are continuous functions where .
We consider the following problem:
where the symbol , where is the -Caputo derivative such that , the function is increasing such that , and . Clearly, we can write the system as follows:
where , and .
This paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, we present some necessary definitions of fractional calculus and useful lemmas and some theorems about the fixed–point that are needed in the subsequent sections. In Section 3, with the help of Banach and Leary–Schauder fixed-point theorem, we give the proof of the fundamental theorems to prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions for problem (7). The stability results are extensively discussed in Section 4 in the context of the Ulam–Hyers and its generalized version, along with Ulam–Hyers–Rassias and its generalized version for solutions of the fractional -snap problem (7). Two significant examples, along with codes and numerical results, are presented in Section 5 in which our all outcomes are guaranteed. Those numerical examples were generated using MATLAB for understanding the theoretical results. Finally, we will give some suggestions to the reader in the conclusion Section 6.

3. Existence-Uniqueness Results
Here, we analyze the existence properties of solutions and their uniqueness for the proposed fractional non-periodic snap problem. We require the following lemma, which specifies the corresponding integral equation. Hereafter, we assume

Lemma 3.
Let , and (H1) be held. If g is a real-valued continuous function on , then the solution of the linear fractional non-periodic snap problem
is given by

on implies (10) by operating to both sides of (12). Using the boundary condition,
we deduce that
Similarly, applying the -th integral operator , we get
The boundary condition
gives the following:
Next, we apply the -th integral operator to obtain
The boundary condition gives
Finally, we apply the integral operator to obtain
The last boundary condition can be applied to get
Therefore, we now see that fulfills (11), and the proof is ended. □
In the next result, our goal is to verify the unique solution of the fractional non-periodic snap problem (7) by using Banach fixed-point theorem.

Since , is a contraction on , and Banach fixed-point theorem guarantees the existence of a unique fixed point for , and accordingly, the existence of a unique solution for the fractional non-periodic snap problem (7) and the proof are ended. □
The next existence property for possible solutions of the fractional non-periodic snap problem (7) is checked based on hypotheses of Leary-Shauder fixed-point theorem. We assume the following hypotheses:

Let be defined as in (16) and be any bounded convex closed subset in . We show that the hypotheses of Leary–Schauder fixed-point theorem can be applied on the operator . Hence, the proof consists of several steps.
- Step 1:
- The continuity of the operator is obtained by applying the dominated convergence theorem and noting that the function is jointly continuous.
- Step 2:
- We show that is uniformly bounded, whereis an open ball with radius . For , we easily deduce thatThen, for any and , we can obtainandSimilarly, we haveandFrom the above inequalities, we obtainindependently of the element , which implies that is uniformly bounded.
- Step 3:

Let such thatand , we deduceandSimilarly, we haveAdditionally, we haveFrom the above inequalities, we obtainas independently of , which implies that is equicontinuous. Using the Arzelà–Ascoli theorem, we deduce that is compact on . If there exist and such that , thenwhich draws a contradiction.
Therefore, by Leray–Schauder fixed-point theorem, admits at least one fixed point as a solution of the fractional non-periodic snap problem (7), and this finishes the proof. □

Therefore, this guarantees that for all of three different cases by terms of the order α, the fractional non-periodic snap problem (24) admits at least a solution on the interval .
6. Conclusions
In this paper, we defined a new fractional mathematical model consisting of a fractional snap equation with non-periodic boundary conditions in the framework of the generalized -operators. Thus, some investigations on the qualitative behaviors of its solutions, including existence, uniqueness and stability, were performed separately. To obtain the uniqueness of the solution, we used Banach contraction theorem, and for the general existence of at least one solution, we used the Shauder fixed-point theorem. Ulam–Hyers and Ulam–Hyers–Rassias with their generalizations were discussed and investigated. In the final step, we designed examples with different cases of the function , such as Caputo, Caputo–Hadamard and Katugampola; and with different orders of q, we obtained some numerical results concerning the fractional non-periodic snap problem.
