We study a parameter-dependent non-linear fractional differential equation, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using the fixed point theory, we restrict the parameter values to secure the existence and uniqueness of solutions, and analyse the monotonicity behaviour of the solutions. Additionally, we apply a numerical-analytic technique, coupled with the lower and upper solutions method, to construct a sequence of approximations to the boundary value problem and give conditions for its monotonicity. The theoretical results are confirmed by an example of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current equation in the fractional setting.@en

We study a system of non-linear fractional differential equations, subject to integral boundary conditions. We use a parametrization technique and a dichotomy-type approach to reduce the original problem to two “model-type” fractional boundary value problems with linear two-point boundary conditions. A numerical-analytic technique is applied to analytically construct approximate solutions to the “model-type” problems. The behaviour of these approximate solutions is governed by a set of parameters, whose values are obtained by numerically solving a system of algebraic equations. The obtained results are confirmed by an example of the fractional order problem that in the case of the second order differential equation models the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.

We use a numerical-analytic technique to construct a sequence of successive approximations to the solution of a system of fractional differential equations, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the uniform convergence of the sequence of approximations to a limit function, which is the unique solution to the boundary value problem under consideration, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions. The obtained theoretical results are confirmed by a model example.
