Stochastic response of a class of self-excited systems with Caputo-type fractional derivative driven by Gaussian white noise

The stochastic response of a class of self-excited systems with Caputo-type fractional derivative driven by Gaussian white noise is considered. Firstly, the generalized harmonic function technique is applied to the fractional self-excited systems. Based on this approach, the original fractional self-excited systems are reduced to equivalent stochastic systems without fractional derivative. Then, the analytical solutions of the equivalent stochastic systems are obtained by using the stochastic averaging method. Finally, in order to verify the theoretical results, the two most typical self-excited systems with fractional derivative, namely the fractional van der Pol oscillator and fractional Rayleigh oscillator, are discussed in detail. Comparing the analytical and numerical results, a very satisfactory agreement can be found. Meanwhile, the effects of the fractional order, the fractional coefficient, and the intensity of Gaussian white noise on the self-excited fractional systems are also discussed in detail.

Cauchy’s integral formula via the modified Riemann–Liouville derivative for analytic functions of fractional order

The modified Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative applies to functions which are fractional differentiable but not differentiable, in such a manner that they cannot be analyzed by means of the Djrbashian fractional derivative. It provides a fractional Taylor’s series for functions which are infinitely fractional differentiable, and this result suggests introducing a definition of analytic functions of fractional order. Cauchy’s conditions for fractional differentiability in the complex plane and Cauchy’s integral formula are derived for these kinds of functions.     

The fractional supertrace identity and its application to the super Jaulent–Miodek hierarchy

In this paper, a fractional supertrace identity on superalgebras and Hamiltonian structure of the fractional soliton equation hierarchy are presented by using the modified Riemann–Liouville derivative and exterior derivatives of fractional orders. As applications, we get the fractional super Jaulent–Miodek (JM) hierarchy and its super Hamiltonian structure by using fractional supertrace identity. This method can be used to get more fractional super hierarchies.     

FPGA Realization of Fractional Order Neuron

In this paper fractional Hindmarsh Rose (HR) neuron, which mimics several behaviors of a real biological neuron is implemented on field programmable gate array (FPGA). The results show several differences in the dynamic characteristics of integer and fractional order Hindmarsh Rose neuron models. The integer order model shows only one type of firing characteristics when the parameters of model remains same. The fractional order model depicts several dynamical behaviors even for the same parameters as the order of the fractional operator is varied. The firing frequency increases when the order of the fractional operator decreases. The fractional order is therefore key in determining the firing characteristics of biological neurons. To implement this neuron model first the digital realization of different fractional operator approximations are obtained, then the fractional integrator is used to obtain the low power and low cost hardware realization of fractional HR neuron. The fractional neuron model has been implemented on a low voltage and low power circuit and then compared with its integer counter part. The hardware is used to demonstrate the different dynamical behaviors of fractional HR neuron for different type of approximations obtained for fractional operator in this paper. A coupled network of fractional order HR neurons is also implemented. The results also show that synchronization between neurons increases as long as coupling factor keeps on increasing.     

Nonlocal boundary value problem for generalized Hilfer implicit fractional differential equations

In this paper, we derive the equivalent fractional integral equation to the nonlinear implicit fractional differential equations involving Ψ-Hilfer fractional derivative subject to nonlocal fractional integral boundary conditions. The existence of a solution, Ulam–Hyers, and Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability have been acquired by means of an equivalent fractional integral equation. Our investigations depend on the fixed-point theorem due to Krasnoselskii and the Gronwall inequality involving Ψ-Riemann–Liouville fractional integral. Finally, examples are provided to show the utilization of primary outcomes.

The transport dynamics in complex systems governing by anomalous diffusion modelled with Riesz fractional partial differential equations

In this paper, numerical solutions of fractional Fokker–Planck equations with Riesz space fractional derivatives have been developed. Here, the fractional Fokker–Planck equations have been considered in a finite domain. In order to deal with the Riesz fractional derivative operator, shifted Grünwald approximation and fractional centred difference approaches have been used. The explicit finite difference method and Crank–Nicolson implicit method have been applied to obtain the numerical solutions of fractional diffusion equation and fractional Fokker–Planck equations, respectively. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed numerical solution techniques. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On chaos control and synchronization of the commensurate fractional order Liu system

In this work, we study chaos control and synchronization of the commensurate fractional order Liu system. Based on the stability theory of fractional order systems, the conditions of local stability of nonlinear three-dimensional commensurate fractional order systems are discussed. The existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of commensurate fractional order Liu systems are investigated. We also obtain the necessary condition for the existence of chaotic attractors in the commensurate fractional order Liu system. The effect of fractional order on chaos control of this system is revealed by showing that the commensurate fractional order Liu system is controllable just in the fractional order case when using a specific choice of controllers. Moreover, we achieve chaos synchronization between the commensurate fractional order Liu system and its integer order counterpart via function projective synchronization. Numerical simulations are used to verify the analytical results.

Extensions of Dinkelbach's algorithm for solving non-linear fractional programming problems

Dinkelbach's algorithm was developed to solve convex fractinal programming. This method achieves the optimal solution of the optimisation problem by means of solving a sequence of non-linear convex programming subproblems defined by a parameter. In this paper it is shown that Dinkelbach's algorithm can be used to solve general fractional programming. The applicability of the algorithm will depend on the possibility of solving the subproblems. Dinkelbach's extended algorithm is a framework to describe several algorithms which have been proposed to solve linear fractional programming, integer linear fractional programming, convex fractional programming and to generate new algorithms. The applicability of new cases as nondifferentiable fractional programming and quadratic fractional programming has been studied. We have proposed two modifications to improve the speed-up of Dinkelbachs algorithm. One is to use interpolation formulae to update the parameter which defined the subproblem and another truncates the solution of the suproblem. We give sufficient conditions for the convergence of these modifications. Computational experiments in linear fractional programming, integer linear fractional programming and non-linear fractional programming to evaluate the efficiency of these methods have been carried out.

Maximum principle for Hadamard fractional differential equations involving fractional Laplace operator

The purpose of the current study is to investigate IBVP for spatial-time fractional differential equation with Hadamard fractional derivative and fractional Laplace operator(−Δ)^β. A new Hadamard fractional extremum principle is established. Based on the new result, a Hadamard fractional maximum principle is also proposed. Furthermore, the maximum principle is applied to linear and nonlinear Hadamard fractional equations to obtain the uniqueness and continuous dependence of the solution of the IBVP at hand.     

Laplace’s transform of fractional order via the Mittag–Leffler function and modified Riemann–Liouville derivative

We propose a (new) definition of a fractional Laplace’s transform, or Laplace’s transform of fractional order, which applies to functions which are fractional differentiable but are not differentiable, in such a manner that they cannot be analyzed by using the Djrbashian fractional derivative. After a short survey on fractional analysis based on the modified Riemann–Liouville derivative, we define the fractional Laplace’s transform. Evidence for the main properties of this fractal transformation is given, and we obtain a fractional Laplace inversion theorem.     

Martingale solutions of stochastic fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a bounded interval*

This paper is concerned with stochastic fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which plays a very important role in fractional nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. Due to disturbing and interacting of the fractional Laplacian operator on a bounded interval with white noise, the stochastic fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation is too complicated to be understood. This paper would explore and analyze this stochastic fractional system. Using a suitable weighted space with some fractional operator skills, it overcame the difficulties coming from the fractional Laplacian operator on a bounded interval. Applying the tightness instead of the common compactness, and combining Prokhorov theorem with Skorokhod embedding theorem, it solved the convergence problem in the case of white noise. It finally established the existence of martingale solutions for the stochastic fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a bounded interval.     

Generalized variational calculus in terms of multi-parameters fractional derivatives

In this paper, we briefly introduce two generalizations of work presented a few years ago on fractional variational formulations. In the first generalization, we consider the Hilfer’s generalized fractional derivative that in some sense interpolates between Riemann–Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives. In the second generalization, we develop a fractional variational formulation in terms of a three parameter fractional derivative. We develop integration by parts formulas for the generalized fractional derivatives which are key to developing fractional variational calculus. It is shown that many derivatives used recently and their variational formulations can be obtained by setting different parameters to different values. We also define fractional generalized momenta and provide fractional Hamiltonian formulations in terms of the new generalized derivatives. An example is presented to show applications of the formulations presented here. Some possible extensions of this research are also discussed.     

A higher dimensional fractional Borel‐Pompeiu formula and a related hypercomplex fractional operator calculus

In this paper, we develop a fractional integro‐differential operator calculus for Clifford algebra‐valued functions. To do that, we introduce fractional analogues of the Teodorescu and Cauchy‐Bitsadze operators, and we investigate some of their mapping properties. As a main result, we prove a fractional Borel‐Pompeiu formula based on a fractional Stokes formula. This tool in hand allows us to present a Hodge‐type decomposition for the fractional Dirac operator. Our results exhibit an amazing duality relation between left and right operators and between Caputo and Riemann‐Liouville fractional derivatives. We round off this paper by presenting a direct application to the resolution of boundary value problems related to Laplace operators of fractional order.
