On the Solutions of a Class of Discrete PWC Systems Modeled with Caputo-Type Delta Fractional Difference Equations

In this paper, it is shown that a class of discrete Piece Wise Continuous (PWC) systems with Caputo-type delta fractional difference may not have solutions. To overcome this obstacle, the discontinuous problem is restarted as a continuous fractional problem. First, the single-valued PWC problem is t...

Description
Summary:In this paper, it is shown that a class of discrete Piece Wise Continuous (PWC) systems with Caputo-type delta fractional difference may not have solutions. To overcome this obstacle, the discontinuous problem is restarted as a continuous fractional problem. First, the single-valued PWC problem is transformed into a set-valued one via Filippov’s theory, after which Cellina’s theorem allows the restart of the problem into a single-valued continuous one. A numerical example is proposed and analyzed.
