Nonexistence results for fractional differential inequalities

Jeffrey R. L. Webb

Abstract:
We prove nonexistence of global solution of fractional differential inequalities of the form \(D^{\alpha}u(t) \ge \lambda t^{\beta}|u(t)|^{p}\) when \(p>1\) for each of the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives. This is motivated by work of Laskri and Tatar (Comput. Math.\Appl. (2010)) and Shan and Lv (Filomat (2024)). The result of Laskri-Tatar was claimed to be false by Zhang, Liu, Wu and Cui (J. Funct. Spaces (2017)) with a correction and counter-example. We show that the counter-example and the claims are not accurate. We use a different method to that of Laskri and Tatar, our result supports the one of Laskri and Tatar. We also improve on the result in Shan and Lv paper by considering a more general problem and giving a more precise conclusion.
