Ulam-Hyers stability for conformable fractional integro-di ﬀ erential impulsive equations with the antiperiodic boundary conditions

: This paper focuses on the stability for a class of conformable fractional impulsive integrodi ﬀ erential equations with the antiperiodic boundary conditions. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the integro-di ﬀ erential equations are studied by using the ﬁxed point theorem under the condition of nonlinear term increasing at most linearly. And then, the Ulam-Hyers stability and Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability for the boundary value problems are discussed by using the nonlinear functional analysis method and constraining related parameters. Finally, an example is given out to illustrate the applicability and feasibility of our main conclusions. It is worth mentioning that the stability studied in this paper highlights the role of boundary conditions. This method of studying stability is e ﬀ ective and can be applied to the study of stability for many types of di ﬀ erential equations.


Introduction
In this paper, we study the solvability and stability of the following conformable fractional integrodifferential impulsive equations with antiperiodic boundary conditions: x(t), Ax(t)), t ∈ (t k , t k+1 ), k = 0, 1, 2, · · · , m, ∆x(t)| t=t k = P k (x(t k )), k = 1, 2, · · · , m, ∆x (t)| t=t k = Q k (x(t k )), k = 1, 2, · · · , m, where 1 < α ≤ 2, 0 < β ≤ 1, T α a is the conformable fractional derivatives of order α starting from a, 0 = t 0 < t 1 < · · · < t m < t m+1 = 1, J = [0, 1], f ∈ C(J × R 2 , R), P k , Q k ∈ C(R, R), k = 1, 2, · · · , m, , where x(t + k ), x (t + k ) and x(t − k ), x (t − k ) represent the right and left limits of x(t) and x (t) at t = t k (k = 1, 2, · · · , m), respectively. A is an integral operator as Ax(t) = t 0 h(s, x(s))ds, h ∈ C(J × R, R) is a given function. As a generalization of integer order calculus, fractional calculus could be used to describe and simulate practical phenomena more accurately than integer order calculus. As a result, fractional differential equations are widely used to solve the problems in the fields of science and engineering, such as materials and mechanical systems, thermal and optical systems, control engineering and theory, signal processing and system identification and so on, see [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In [10], Khalil proposed a local limitbased operator which was a natural extension of general derivative and retained the basic properties of the classical derivative, and it could be called the conformable fractional derivative. In [11], Abdeljawad introduced the chain rule, mean value theorem, Grönwall inequality, exponential function and Laplace transform about the conformable fractional derivatives. Since the conformable fractional derivative has some properties that the Riemann-Liouville derivative and Caputo derivative do not have, it could be used to describe some special phenomena frequently. In some cases and conditions, the conformable fractional derivative can better establish the principle of action in some practical problems than the classical fractional derivative, and the derived formula is much simpler, see [12]. For more applications of conformable fractional derivative, see [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and the references therein.
In many continuous gradual processes, the system abrupt state changes due to disturbances or external influences in some times, and this phenomenon is called impulsive effect. As the impulsive differential equations describing the abrupt phenomenon have played an important role in electronic technology and communication engineering, they have become an important object of researches in recent years. As a branch of pulse theory, the instantaneous pulse theory has also received extensive attention, see [21][22][23][24][25][26] and the references therein.
In [21], Ahmad et al. studied the following hybrid systems of non-linear conformable fractional impulsive differential equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions: where T t k α is the conformable fractional derivative of order 1 < α ≤ 2 starting from t k , J = [0, T ]\{t i }. By applying Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem and contraction mapping principle, the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the system are obtained.
The stability theory plays a more and more important role in control engineering and theory, error analysis and other fields. In [27], Agarwal et al. studied Mittag-Leffler stability for a class of impulsive Caputo fractional differential equations. The researches on Ulam stability could be traced back to 1940s, and till now, Ulam-Hyers (U-H) stability and Ulam-Hyers-Rassias (U-H-R) stability have become one of the most active research topics in differential equations, and have achieved a large number of research results, see [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] etc.
In [31], Li et al. studied the following conformable fractional order nonlinear differential equations with constant coefficients: where D a β y is the conformable fractional derivative of order β of the function y starting from a. By using the constant variation method, the existence of solutions for the given problem are obtained. And the results of U-H stability and U-H-R stability on finite time interval and infinite time interval are given out.
As far as we know, the studies on conformable fractional differential impulsive equations are basically carried out around existence and uniqueness under homogeneous boundary conditions, and the studies on Ulam-Hyers stability are carried out under initial value conditions. Based on this, we consider that in some cases the system may involve some averaging or accumulation, for which we add integral terms. In order to enrich the research in this field, we study the solvability and stability of (1.1). The existence, uniqueness, U-H stability and U-H-R stability for solutions of (1.1) are obtained. It is worth mentioning that the stability studied in this paper is related to the boundary conditions. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In the second section, we introduce the symbols, spaces, definitions of conformable fractional derivatives and integrals, necessary lemmas and theorems to prove the main results, and the definitions of U-H stability and U-H-R stability. In the third section, we establish an integral equation equivalent to conformable fractional integro-differential impulsive equation, and obtain the existence and uniqueness of solutions of (1.1) by using Schauder fixed point theorem and Banach fixed point theorem. In the fourth section, we use the method of nonlinear functional analysis to discuss the U-H stability of (1.1), and the results for U-H stability and U-H-R stability are obtained. In the fifth section, an example is given out to illustrate the applicability and feasibility of our main conclusions.

Conclusions
Since the stability plays an important role in control theory and error analysis, it is very necessary to discuss the stability for solutions of differential equations. In this paper, a class of conformable fractional integro-differential impulsive equations with the antiperiodic boundary conditions are studied. After discussing the existence and uniqueness of solutions, we focus on the U-H stability and U-H-R stability of solutions of problems (1.1). Finally, an example is given out to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of our results.
A further extension of this paper is to study the motion states of vibrators in systems described in boundary value problems (1.1) and the existence and stability of solutions to boundary value problems with other boundary conditions. In addition, according to the conclusion of stability obtained in this paper, we can further study the approximate solution of differential equation and make error analysis.
