The Characteristic Equation And Solution Of Caputo Fractional Differential Equation

Ji Zhang

Abstract： In this paper， we study the following fractional differential equation：

Where with m and n being positive integers， f is

a smooth function and is a integrable function， through mean value theorem and linearize problem， we find the characteristic equation and its solution.

Keywords： Fractional different equation， characteristic equation.

1 Introduction

Fractional calculus includes fractional order integral and fractional derivative， because its valuable applications， fractional calculus has gained enough importance. See[1，2，3，4]

Liouville， Riemann， Leibniz have studied the earliest systematic and Caputo defines the fractional differential.

The paper will study the following equation：

（1.1）

Where with m and n being positive integers， f is

a smooth function and is a integrable function， through mean value theorem and linearize problem， we find the characteristic equation and its solution.

2 Main Results

Proposition 2.1： Suppose that is a smooth function and there is a such that ， then the linearization of （1.1） near the equilibrium

Subsitituting it into （2.7）， we have （2.5） and （2.6）
