Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for an ordinary fractional differential inequality with a polynomial nonlinearity with variable coefficient. A nonexistence result is proved and the critical exponent separating existence from nonexistence is found. This is proved in the absence of any regularity assumptions.
