## Opial type inequalities involving fractional derivatives of two functions and applications.(English)Zbl 1094.26010

Summary: A large variety of very general, but basic $$L_p (1 \leq p \leq \infty)$$ form, Opial type inequalities is established involving generalized fractional derivatives of two functions in different orders and powers.
The above rely on a generalization of Taylor’s formula for generalized fractional derivatives [G. A. Anastassiou, Nonlinear Stud. 6, No. 2, 207–230 (1999; Zbl 0945.26019)]. From the developed results derive several other concrete results of special interest. The sharpness of inequalities is established there. Finally, applications of some of these special inequalities are given in establishing uniqueness of solution and in giving upper bounds to solutions of initial value problems involving a very general system of two fractional differential equations. Also, upper bounds to various fractional derivatives of the solutions that are involved in the above systems are presented.
