Solvability of a Coupled System of Hadamard Fractional p-Laplacian Differential Equations with Infinite-Point Boundary Conditions at Resonance on an Unbounded Interval
Abstract
1. Introduction
- satisfy a-Carathéodory condition, where the function is said to be a-Carathéodory if and only if the following hold:
- For every , the function is measurable with respect to the Lebesgue measure;
- Almost everywhere on the interval , the mapping from to remains continuous on ;
- Given any , one can find a function that satisfies the integrability condition , such thatimplies for almost every .
- The boundary configuration is formulated under infinite-point BCs on an unbounded interval, which can be regarded as a natural generalization of the classical finitely multi-point conditions. For instance, by setting and , one recovers the finitely multi-point structure. Therefore, this work not only extends the results of [9] within the framework of coupled systems, but also generalizes the BCs from finitely multi-point cases to the case of infinite-point.
- An a-Carathéodory control function is introduced to characterize the nonlinear terms, ensuring regulated growth behavior and facilitating effective control of the nonlinear coupling components within the system. This provides a solid foundation for constructing a priori estimates.
- To address the analytic challenges posed by the unbounded domain, a weighted Banach space is employed to build an operator framework with high adaptability. This choice supports the formulation of suitable projection operators and the verification of compactness conditions, thereby enhancing the methodological robustness.
- The existence results derived herein encompass general Hadamard fractional differential systems as well as coupled systems involving the p-Laplacian operators. Applying the Ge–Mawhin’s continuation theorem, the solvability of the system is established, and illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the main results.
