In this research study, the generalized differential transform scheme has been applied to simulate impulsive differential equations
with the noninteger order. One specific tool of the implemented scheme is that it converts the problems into a recurrence equation
that finally leads easily to the solution of the considered problem. e validity and reliability of this method have successfully been
accomplished by applying it to simulate the solution of some equations. It is shown that the considered method is very suitable and
efficient for solving classes of fractional-order initial value problems for impulsive differential equations and might find
wide applications.
1. Introduction
Present, impulsive differential equations are treated as a
basic system to explore the structures of various phenomena
that are subjected to unexpected variations in their states.
Many evolution processes which are simulated in applied
sciences are defined by differential equations with the im-
pulse effect. e theory and applications addressing such
problems have been reported [1–6]. Recently, some inter-
esting solutions’ existence results for impulsive differential
equations have been explored largely; we suggest the reader
to [7–11] and the papers therein.
Over the last few years, the applications of fractional
derivatives are sharply increasing and a huge quantity of
mathematical systems has been explored by using these
operators in different regions of science and engineering
[12–18]. In the theory of fractional calculus, we talk about
the noninteger orders of differential operators. e frac-
tional calculus is just a generalization of classical calculus
and uses similar methods and features, but is more useful in
the application field. e memory effects and hereditary
natures of different types of processes and materials can be
studied by fractional-order operators much more accurately.
ese operators involve the complete history of that function
in the given domain or span, which we say memory effects.
at is why fractional-order operators are the best fit to
describe dynamical systems or various real-life problems.
Also, the nonlocal characteristic is one of the beauties of
fractional operators. is justifies that the future state of a
model depends not only upon the present stage but also
upon all past states. All features make the importance of
noninteger order systems and that is why an active area of
research.
Nowadays, impulsive fractional differential equations, as
generalizations of impulsive classical differential equations,
are applied to model various important dynamical phe-
nomena containing evolutionary structures specified by
abrupt variations of the position at particular instants. Some
