Abstract
In this paper, we establish some new properties of (ω,c)-periodic and asymptotically (ω,c)-periodic functions, then we apply them to study the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions of these types to the following semilinear fractional differential equations: (1) {cDtαu(t)=Au(t)+cDtα−1f(t,u(t)),1<α<2,t∈R,u(0)=0(1) and (2) {cDtαu(t)=Au(t)+cDtα−1f(t,u(t−h)),1<α<2,t,h∈R+,u(0)=0(2) where cDtα(⋅)(1<α<2) stands for the Caputo derivative and A is a linear densely defined operator of sectorial type on a complex Banach space X and the function f(t,x) is (ω,c)-periodic or asymptotically (ω,c)-periodic with respect to the first variable. Our results are obtained using the Leray–Schauder alternative theorem, the Banach fixed point principle and the Schauder theorem. Then we illustrate our main results with an application to fractional diffusion-wave equations.
