On the fractional-order logistic equation

Abstract The topic of fractional calculus (derivatives and integrals of arbitrary orders) is enjoying growing interest not only among mathematicians, but also among physicists and engineers (see [E.M. El-Mesiry, A.M.A. El-Sayed, H.A.A. El-Saka, Numerical methods for multi-term fractional (arbitrary) orders differential equations, Appl. Math. Comput. 160 (3) (2005) 683–699; A.M.A. El-Sayed, Fractional differential–difference equations, J. Fract.

We study here the stability, existence, uniqueness and numerical solution of the fractional-order logistic equation.
