Error and stability analysis of numerical solution for the time fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation on scattered data of general‐shaped domains

In present work, a kind of spectral meshless radial point interpolation (SMRPI) technique is applied to the time fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation in regular and irregular domains. The applied approach is based on erudite combination of meshless methods and spectral collocation techniques. The point interpolation method with the help of radial basis functions is used to construct shape functions which play as basis functions in the frame of SMRPI. It is proved the scheme is unconditionally stable with respect to the time variable in and also convergent by the order of convergence , . In the current work, the thin plate spline are used as the basis functions and to eliminate the nonlinearity, a simple predictor‐corrector (P‐C) scheme is performed. It is shown that the SMRPI solution, as a complex function, is suitable one for the time fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The results of numerical experiments are compared to analytical solutions to confirm the reliable treatment of these stable solutions. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A self‐adaptive intelligence gray prediction model with the optimal fractional order accumulating operator and its application

The self‐adaptive intelligence gray predictive model (SAIGM) has an alterable‐flexible model structure, and it can build a dynamic structure to fit different external environments by adjusting the parameter values of SAIGM. However, the order number of the raw SAIGM model is not optimal, which is an integer. For this, a new SAIGM model with the fractional order accumulating operator (SAIGM_FO) was proposed in this paper. Specifically, the final restored expression of SAIGM_FO was deduced in detail, and the parameter estimation method of SAIGM_FO was studied. After that, the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm was used to optimize the order number of SAIGM_FO, and some steps were provided. Finally, the SAIGM_FO model was applied to simulate China's electricity consumption from 2001 to 2008 and forecast it during 2009 to 2015, and the mean relative simulation and prediction percentage errors of the new model were only 0.860% and 2.661%, in comparison with the ones obtained from the raw SAIGM model, the GM(1, 1) model with the optimal fractional order accumulating operator and the GM(1, 1) model, which were (1.201%, 5.321%), (1.356%, 3.324%), and (2.013%, 23.944%), respectively. The findings showed both the simulation and the prediction performance of the proposed SAIGM_FO model were the best among the 4 models.     

Generalized Bessel functions: Theory and their applications

This paper presents 2 new classes of the Bessel functions on a compact domain [0,T] as generalized‐tempered Bessel functions of the first‐ and second‐kind which are denoted by GTBFs‐1 and GTBFs‐2. Two special cases corresponding to the GTBFs‐1 and GTBFs‐2 are considered. We first prove that these functions are as the solutions of 2 linear differential operators and then show that these operators are self‐adjoint on suitable domains. Some interesting properties of these sets of functions such as orthogonality, completeness, fractional derivatives and integrals, recursive relations, asymptotic formulas, and so on are proved in detail. Finally, these functions are performed to approximate some functions and also to solve 3 practical differential equations of fractionalorders.     

Multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization of non‐identical fractional‐order chaotic systems

In this paper, multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization scheme has been investigated between a class of four non‐identical fractional‐order chaotic systems. The fractional‐order Lorenz and Chen's systems are taken as drive systems. The combination–combination of multi drive systems is then synchronized with the combination of fractional‐order Lü and Rössler chaotic systems. In multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization, the state variables of two drive systems synchronize with different state variables of two response systems simultaneously. Based on the stability of fractional‐order chaotic systems, the multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization of four fractional‐order non‐identical systems has been investigated. For the synchronization of four non‐identical fractional‐order chaotic systems, suitable controllers have been designed. Theoretical analysis and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the applied method. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Quenching phenomenon of a time‐fractional diffusion equation with singular source term

In this paper, a time‐fractional diffusion equation with singular source term is considered. The Caputo fractional derivative with order 0<α ?1 is applied to the temporal variable. Under specific initial and boundary conditions, we find that the time‐fractional diffusion equation presents quenching solution that is not globally well‐defined as time goes to infinity. The quenching time is estimated by using the eigenfunction of linear fractional diffusion equation. Moreover, by implementing a finite difference scheme, we give some numerical simulations to demonstrate the theoretical analysis. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Generalized asymptotic functions in nonconvex multiobjective optimization problems

In this paper, we use generalized asymptotic functions and second-order asymptotic cones to develop a general existence result for the nonemptiness of the proper efficient solution set and a sufficient condition for the domination property in nonconvex multiobjective optimization problems. A new necessary condition for a point to be efficient or weakly efficient solution is given without any convexity assumption. We also provide a finer outer estimate for the asymptotic cone of the weakly efficient solution set in the quasiconvex case. Finally, we apply our results to the linear fractional multiobjective optimization problem.     

Wavelet-based estimator for the hurst parameters of fractional brownian sheet

It is proposed a class of statistical estimators H =(H_1,…,H_d) for the Hurst parameters H =(H_1,…,H_d) of fractional Brownian field via multi-dimensional wavelet analysis and least squares,which are asymptotically normal.These estimators can be used to detect self-similarity and long-range dependence in multi-dimensional signals,which is important in texture classification and improvement of diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) of nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR).Some fractional Brownian sheets will be simulated and the simulated data are used to validate these estimators.We find that when H_i ≥ 1/2,the estimators are accurate,and when H_i 1/2,there are some bias.
