Fractional variational integrators for fractional variational problems

In this paper, the fractional variational integrators for a class of fractional variational problems are developed. The fractional discrete Euler-Lagrange equation is obtained. Based on the Grünwald-Letnikov method and Diethelm’s fractional backward differences, some fractional variational integrators are presented and the fractional variational errors are discussed. Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate these results.     

The effect of fractional calculus on the formation of quantum-mechanical operators

In this paper, the deformation of the ordinary quantum mechanics is formulated based on the idea of conformable fractional calculus. Some properties of fractional calculus and fractional elementary functions are investigated. The fractional wave equation in 1 + 1 dimension and fractional version of the Lorentz transformation are discussed. Finally, the fractional quantum mechanics is formulated; infinite potential well problem, density of states for the ideal gas, and quantum harmonic oscillator problem are discussed.     

Fractional Poisson process

A fractional non-Markov Poisson stochastic process has been developed based on fractional generalization of the Kolmogorov–Feller equation. We have found the probability of n arrivals by time t for fractional stream of events. The fractional Poisson process captures long-memory effect which results in non-exponential waiting time distribution empirically observed in complex systems. In comparison with the standard Poisson process the developed model includes additional parameter μ. At μ=1 the fractional Poisson becomes the standard Poisson and we reproduce the well known results related to the standard Poisson process.As an application of developed fractional stochastic model we have introduced and elaborated fractional compound Poisson process.     

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.     

Analytical approximate solutions of Riesz fractional diffusion equation and Riesz fractional advection–dispersion equation involving nonlocal space fractional derivatives

In this paper, we consider the analytical solutions of fractional partial differential equations (PDEs) with Riesz space fractional derivatives on a finite domain. Here we considered two types of fractional PDEs with Riesz space fractional derivatives such as Riesz fractional diffusion equation (RFDE) and Riesz fractional advection–dispersion equation (RFADE). The RFDE is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the second‐order space derivative with the Riesz fractional derivative of order α∈(1,2]. The RFADE is obtained from the standard advection–dispersion equation by replacing the first‐order and second‐order space derivatives with the Riesz fractional derivatives of order β∈(0,1] and of order α∈(1,2] respectively. Here the analytic solutions of both the RFDE and RFADE are derived by using modified homotopy analysis method with Fourier transform. Then, we analyze the results by numerical simulations, which demonstrate the simplicity and effectiveness of the present method. Here the space fractional derivatives are defined as Riesz fractional derivatives. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A note on phase synchronization in coupled chaotic fractional order systems

The dynamic behaviors of fractional order systems have received increasing attention in recent years. This paper addresses the reliable phase synchronization problem between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. An active nonlinear feedback control scheme is constructed to achieve phase synchronization between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. We investigated the necessary conditions for fractional order Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems to exhibit chaotic attractor similar to their integer order counterpart. Then, based on the stability results of fractional order systems, sufficient conditions for phase synchronization of the fractional models of Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems are derived. The synchronization scheme that is simple and global enables synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems to be achieved without the computation of the conditional Lyapunov exponents. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the performance of the presented analysis.     

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.     

Continuity of the fractional Hankel wavelet transform on the spaces of type S

In this present article, we study the fractional Hankel transform and its inverse on certain Gel'fand‐Shilov spaces of type S. The continuous fractional wavelet transform is defined involving the fractional Hankel transform. The continuity of fractional Hankel wavelet transform is discussed on Gel'fand‐Shilov spaces of type S. This article goes further to discuss the continuity property of fractional Hankel transform and fractional Hankel wavelet transform on the ultradifferentiable function spaces.

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.
