Representations of solutions of time-fractional multi-order systems of differential-operator equations

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the general theory of systems of time-fractional differential-operator equations. The representation formulas for solutions of systems of ordinary differential equations with single (commensurate) fractional order is known through the matrix valued Mittag-Leffler function. Multi-order (incommensurate) systems with rational components can be reduced to single order systems, and hence, representation formulas are also known. However, for arbitrary fractional multi-order (not necessarily with rational components) systems of differential equations this question remains open even in the case of ordinary differential equations. In this paper we obtain representation formulas for solutions of arbitrary fractional multi-order systems of differential-operator equations along with proving the existence and uniqueness theorems in appropriate topological-vector spaces. Moreover, we introduce vector-indexed Mittag-Leffler functions and prove some of their properties.
