### A survey and new investigation on $(n,n-k)$-type boundary value problems for higher order impulsive fractional differential equations

Yuji Liu

#### Abstract

A survey for studies on boundary value problems of higher order ordinary differential equations is given firstly. Secondly a simple review for studies on solvability of boundary value problems for impulsive fractional differential equations is presented. Thirdly by using a general method for converting an impulsive fractional differential equation with the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives to an equivalent integral equation and employing fixed point theorems in Banach space, we establish existence results of solutions for three classes of boundary value problems ($(n,n-k)$ type BVPs) of impulsive higher order fractional differential equations. Some examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the results obtained and some mistakes are also corrected at the end of the paper finally. A conclusion section is given at the end of the paper.
