It is a well-known fact that the Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan fractional derivative includes as particular cases the fractional derivatives of Riemann–Liouville, Gerasimov–Caputo, and Hilfer. The notion of resolving a family of operators for a linear equation with the Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan fractional derivative is introduced here. Hille–Yosida-type theorem on necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence of a strongly continuous resolving family of operators is proved using Phillips-type approximations. The conditions concern the location of the resolvent set and estimates for the resolvent of a linear closed operator A at the unknown function in the equation. The existence of a resolving family means the existence of a solution for the equation under consideration. For such equation with an operator A satisfying Hille–Yosida-type conditions the uniqueness of a solution is shown also. The obtained results are illustrated by an example for an equation of the considered form in a Banach space of sequences. It is shown that such a problem in a space of sequences is equivalent to some initial boundary value problems for partial differential equations. Thus, this paper obtains key results that make it possible to determine the properties of the initial value problem involving the Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan derivative by examining the properties of the operator in the equation; the results prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution and the correctness of the problem.

Marine macroalgae occurring in the south eastern region of Victoria, Australia, consisting of Port Phillip Bay and the heads entering the bay, is the focus of this review. This area is home to approximately 200 different species of macroalgae, representing the three major phyla of the green algae (Chlorophyta), brown algae (Ochrophyta) and the red algae (Rhodophyta), respectively. Over almost 50 years, the species of macroalgae associated and occurring within this area have resulted in the identification of a number of different types of secondary metabolites including terpenoids, sterols/steroids, phenolic acids, phenols, lipids/polyenes, pheromones, xanthophylls and phloroglucinols. Many of these compounds have subsequently displayed a variety of bioactivities. A systematic description of the compound classes and their associated bioactivities from marine macroalgae found within this region is presented. Full article
