Abstract

In Section 5.6 we studied the existence of a solution to the multi-point value problem for a fractional order pseudo-differential equation with m fractional derivatives of the unknown function. This is an example of fractional distributed order differential equations. Our main purpose in this chapter is the mathematical treatment of boundary value problems for general distributed and variable order fractional differential-operator equations. We will study the existence and uniqueness of a solution to initial and multi-point value problems in different function spaces.
