On Opial-type inequalities via fractional calculus

Abstract: Inequalities play an important role in pure and applied mathematics. In particular, Opial inequality plays a main role in the study of the existence and uniqueness of initial and boundary value problems for differential equations. It has several interesting generalizations. In this work we prove some new Opial-type inequalities, and we apply them to generalized Riemann-Liouville-type integral operators.
