Boundary Value Problem for Fractional q-Difference Equations with Integral Conditions in Banach Spaces

Abstract

The authors investigate the existence of solutions to a class of boundary value problems for fractional q-difference equations in a Banach space that involves a q-derivative of the Caputo type and nonlinear integral boundary conditions. Their result is based on Mönch’s fixed point theorem and the technique of measures of noncompactness. This approach has proved to be an interesting and useful approach to studying such problems. Some basic concepts from the fractional q-calculus are introduced, including q-derivatives and q-integrals. An example of the main result is included as well as some suggestions for future research.
