Fractal and Fractional, Volume 9, Issue 11

2025 November - 75 articles

Cover Story: This paper analyzes the Bagley–Torvik fractional-order equation with generalized fractional Hilfer derivatives of two orders for functions in Banach spaces under conditions expressed in the language of weak topology. Our focus is on the equivalence results (or the lack thereof) of this new class of fractional-order Hilfer operators and on maximizing the regularity of the solution. To this end, we examine the equivalence of differential problems involving pseudo-derivatives and integral problems involving Pettis integrals. Our results are novel, even within the context of integer-order differential equations. Another objective is to incorporate fractional-order problems into the expanding body of research that employs weak topology and function spaces to study vector-valued functions. View this paper
