An effective method for solving nonlinear integral equations involving the Riemann-Liouville fractional operator

Abstract

In this paper, under some conditions in the Banach space C([0, β], R), we establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the nonlinear integral equations involving the Riemann-Liouville fractional operator (RLFO). To establish the requirements for the existence and uniqueness of solutions, we apply the Leray-Schauder alternative and Banach’s fixed point theorem. We analyze Hyers-Ulam-Rassias (H-U-R) and Hyers-Ulam (H-U) stability for the considered integral equations involving the RLFO in the space C([0, β], R). Also, we propose an effective and efficient computational method based on Laguerre polynomials to get the approximate numerical solutions of integral equations involving the RLFO. Five examples are given to interpret the method.
