Strict Stability of Fractional Differential Equations with a Caputo Fractional Derivative with Respect to Another Function

In this paper, we study nonlinear systems of fractional differential equations with a Caputo fractional derivative with respect to another function (CFDF) and we define the strict stability of the zero solution of the considered nonlinear system. As an auxiliary system, we consider a system of two scalar fractional equations with CFDF and define a strict stability in the couple. We illustrate both definitions with several examples and, in these examples, we show that the applied function in the fractional derivative has a huge influence on the stability properties of the solutions. In addition, we use Lyapunov functions and their CFDF to obtain several sufficient conditions for strict stability.
