Abstract
In this paper, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution for a class of nonlinear non-autonomous system of Riemann-Liouville fractional differential systems with different constant delays and non-local condition is The stability of the solution will be proved As an application, we also give some examples to demonstrate our results
Keywords: Riemann-Liouville derivatives, nonlocal non-autonomous system, time-delay system, stability analysis
1 Introduction Here we consider the nonlinear non-local problem of the form
D α x i (t) = f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1 ), , x n (t − r n )), t ∈ (0, T), T < ∞, (1)
where Dadenotes the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of ordera Î (0, 1), x(t)
= (x1(t), x2(t), , xn(t))’, where ‘ denote the transpose of the matrix, and fi, gi: [0, T] ×
Rn® R are continuous functions, F(t) = (ji(t))n × 1are given matrix and O is the zero matrix, rj≥ 0, j = 1, 2, , n, are constant delays
Recently, much attention has been paid to the existence of solution for fractional dif-ferential equations because they have applications in various fields of science and engi-neering We can describe many physical and chemical processes, biological systems, etc., by fractional differential equations (see [1-9] and references therein)
In this work, we discuss the existence, uniqueness and uniform of the solution of sta-bility non-local problem (1)-(3) Furthermore, as an application, we give some exam-ples to demonstrate our results
For the earlier work we mention: De la Sen [10] investigated the non-negative solu-tion and the stability and asymptotic properties of the solusolu-tion of fracsolu-tional differential dynamic systems involving delayed dynamics with point delays

Sabatier et al [6] delt with Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) stability conditions for fractional order systems, under commensurate order hypothesis
Abd El-Salam and El-Sayed [13] proved the existence of a unique uniformly stable solution for the non-autonomous system
c D α a x(t) = A(t)x(t) + f (t), x(0) = x0, t > 0,
wherec D α a is the Caputo fractional derivatives (see [5-7,14]), A(t) and f(t) are contin-uous matrices
Bonnet et al [15] analyzed several properties linked to the robust control of frac-tional differential systems with delays They delt with the BIBO stability of both
retarded and neutral fractional delay systems Zhang [16] established the existence of a
unique solution for the delay fractional differential equation
D α x(t) = A0x(t) + A1x(t − r) + f (t), t > 0, x(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0],
by the method of steps, where A0, A1 are constant matrices and studied the finite time stability for it
2 Preliminaries
Let L1[a, b] be the space of Lebesgue integrable functions on the interval [a, b], 0≤ a
<b < ∞ with the norm||x|| L1 =b
a |x(t)|dt Definition 1 The fractional (arbitrary) order integral of the function f(t) Î L1[a, b] of ordera Î R+
is defined by (see [5-7,14,17])
I α a f (t) =
t a
(t − s) α−1
whereΓ (.) is the gamma function
Definition 2 The Caputo fractional (arbitrary) order derivatives of order a, n <a <n + 1, of the function f(t) is defined by (see [5-7,14]),
c D α a f (t) = I a n −α D n f (t) = 1
(n − α)
t (t − s) n −α−1 f (s)ds, t ∈ [a, b],
Trang 3Definition 3 The Riemann-liouville fractional (arbitrary) order derivatives of order a,
n<a <n + 1 of the function f (t) is defined by (see [5-7,14,17])
D α a f (t) = d

The following theorem on the properties of fractional order integration and differen-tiation can be easily proved
Theorem 1 Let a, b Î R+
Then we have
(i)I α a : L1→ L1, and if f(t) Î L1thenI α a I a β f (t) = I α+β a f (t) (ii)α→nlimI α a = I n a, n = 1,2,3, uniformly.
(iii)c D α f (t) = D α f (t)−(t − a) −α
(1 − α) f (a),a Î (0,1), f (t) is absolutely continuous.
(iv) lim

3 Existence and uniqueness
Let X = (Cn(I), || ||1), where Cn(I) is the class of all continuous column n-vectors
function For x Î Cn[0, T], the norm is defined by||x||1=n
i=1supt ∈[0,T] {e −Nt |x i (t)|}, where N > 0
Theorem 2 Let fi, gi : [0, T] × Rn ® R be continuous functions and satisfy the Lipschitz conditions
|f i (t, u1, , u n)− f i (t, v1, , v n)≤

andh =n
i=1 |h i| =n
i=1 max ∀j |h ij|,k =n
i=1 |k i| =n
i=1max∀j |k ij| Then there exists a unique solution ×Î X of the problem (1)-(3)
Proof Let tÎ (0, T) Then equation (1) can be written as d
dt I
1−α x
i (t) = f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n)
Integrating both sides, we obtain
I1−αx i (t)−I1−αx i (t)| t=0=
t

{f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t −r1), , x n (t −r n))}ds
From (3), we get
I1−α x i (t) =
t
0 {f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n))}ds.
Operating by Iaon both sides, we obtain
Ix i (t) = I α+1 {f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n))}
Trang 4Differentiating both side is, we get
x i (t) = I α {f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n))}, i = 1, 2, , n (4) Now let F : X® X, defined by
Fx i = I α {f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n))}
then
|Fx i − Fy i | = |I α {f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) − f i (t, y1(t), , y n (t))

integral equation (4)
Trang 5Now we complete the proof by proving the equivalence between the integral equa-tion (4) and the non-local problem (1)-(3) Indeed:
Since x Î Cnand I1-ax(t)Î Cn(I), and fi, giÎ C(I) then I1-a fi(t), I1-agi(t)Î C(I)
Operating by I1-aon both sides of (4), we get
I1−αx i (t) = I1−αI α {f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n))}
= I{f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n))}
Differentiating both sides, we obtain
DI1−αx i (t) = DI{f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n))}, which implies that
D α i (t) = f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) + g i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n)), t > 0,
which completes the proof of the equivalence between (4) and (1)
Now we prove thatlimt→0 +x i= 0 Since fi(t, x1(t), , xn(t)), gi(t, x1(t - r1), , xn(t
-rn)) are continuous on [0, T] then there exist constants li, Li, mi, Misuch that li≤ fi(t,
x1(t), , xn(t))≤ Liand mi≤ gi(t, x1(t - r1) ), , xn(t - rn)) ≤ Mi, and we have
I α f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) =

and lim
t→0 +I α f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) = 0.
Similarly, we can prove lim
t→0 +I α i (t, x1(t − r1), , x n (t − r n)) = 0
Then from (4),limt→0 +x i (t) = 0 Also from (2), we havelimt→0 −(t) = O Now for tÎ (-∞, T], T < ∞, the continuous solution x(t) Î (-∞, T] of the problem (1)-(3) takes the form

4 Stability
In this section we study the stability of the solution of the non-local problem (1)-(3)
Definition 5 The solution of the non-autonomous linear system (1) is stable if for any ε > 0, there exists δ > 0 such that for any two solutions x(t) = (x1(t), x2(t), , xn(t))’
and ˜x(t) = (˜x (t), ˜x (t), , ˜x (t)) with the initial conditions (2)-(3) and
Trang 6||x(t) − ˜x(t)||1< εrespectively, one has||(t) − ˜(t)||1 ≤ δ, then||x(t) − ˜x(t)||1< ε
for all t≥ 0
Theorem 3 The solution of the problem (1)-(3) is uniformly stable
Proof Let x(t) and ˜x(t)be two solutions of the system (1) under conditions (2)-(3) and{I β ˜x(t)| t=0= 0,˜x(t) = ˜(t), t < 0 and lim t→0 ˜(t) = O}, respectively Then for t > 0,
we have from (4)
|x i − ˜x i | = |I α {f i (t, x1(t), , x n (t)) − f i (t, ˜x1(t), , ˜x n (t))
