The right expression of the equivalent integral equation and
non-uniqueness of solution of impulsive fractional order system
Abstract
The fractional derivatives are not equal for different expressions of
the same piecewise function, which caused that the equivalent integral
equations of impulsive fractional order system (IFrOS) proposed in
existing papers are incorrect. Thus we reconsider two generalized IFrOSs
that both have the corresponding impulsive Caputo fractional order
system and the corresponding impulsive Riemann-Liouville fractional
order system as their special cases, and discover that their equivalent
integral equations are two integral equations with some arbitrary
constants, which reveal the non-uniqueness of solution of the two
generalized IFrOSs. Finally, two numerical examples are offered for
explaining the non-uniqueness of solution to the two generalized IFrOSs.
