Abstract

We consider fractional differential equations of order α(0,1)\alpha \in (0,1) for functions of one independent variable t(0,)t\in (0,\infty) with the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo-Dzhrbashyan fractional derivatives. A precise estimate for the order of growth of α\alpha-entire solutions is given. An analog of the Frobenius method for systems with regular singularity is developed. For a model example of an equation with a kind of an irregular singularity, a series for a formal solution is shown to be convergent for t>0t>0 (if α\alpha is an irrational number poorly approximated by rational ones) but divergent in the distribution sense.
