Abstract
We study the equivalences and the implications between linear (or homogeneous) nth order fractional differential equations (FDEs) and integral equations in the spaces L1(a,b) and C[a,b] when n≥ 2. We establish the equivalence in C[a,b] of the IVP of the nth order FDE subject to the initial condition u(i)(a)=ui for i in {0,1,...,n-1} when n≥2. The difficulty is that the known conditions for such equivalence for the first order FDEs are not sufficient for equivalence in the nth order FDEs with n≥2. In this article we provide additional conditions to ensure the equivalence for the nth order FDEs with n≥2. In particular, we obtain conditions under which solutions of the integral equations are solutions of the linear nth order FDEs. These results are keys for further studying the existence of solutions and nonnegative solutions to initial and boundary value problems of nonlinear nth order FDEs. This is done via the corresponding integral equations by topological methods such as the Banach contraction principle, fixed point index theory, and degree theory.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
