Abstract

In this paper, we give a criterion on instability of an equilibrium of a nonlinear Caputo fractional differential system. More precisely, we prove that if the spectrum of the linearization has at least one eigenvalue in the sector

$\left\{ \lambda \in \mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}:|\arg (\lambda )| < \frac{\alpha \pi }{2} \right\},$

where $α∈ (0,1)$ is the order of the fractional differential system, then the equilibrium of the nonlinear system is unstable.
