Periodic impulsive fractional differential equations

This paper deals with the existence of periodic solutions of fractional differential equations with periodic impulses. The first part of the paper is devoted to the uniqueness, existence and asymptotic stability results for periodic solutions of impulsive fractional differential equations with varying lower limits for standard nonlinear cases as well as for cases of weak nonlinearities, equidistant and periodically shifted impulses. We also apply our result to an impulsive fractional Lorenz system. The second part extends the study to periodic impulsive fractional differential equations with fixed lower limit. We show that in general, there are no solutions with long periodic boundary value conditions for the case of bounded nonlinearities.
