An analysis for heat equations arises in diffusion process using new Yang-Abdel-Aty-Cattani fractional operator

The heat equation is parabolic partial differential equation and occurs in the characterization of diffusion progress. In the present work, a new fractional operator based on the Rabotnov fractional-exponential kernel is considered. Next, we conferred some fascinating and original properties of nominated new fractional derivative with some integral transform operators where all results are significant. The fundamental target of the proposed work is to solve the multidimensional heat equations of arbitrary order by using analytical approach homotopy perturbation transform method and residual power series method, where new fractional operator has been taken in new Yang-Abdel-Aty-Cattani (YAC) sense. The obtained results indicate that solution converges to the original solution in language of generalized Mittag-Leffler function. Three numerical examples are discussed to draw an effective attention to reveal the proficiency and adaptability of the recommended methods on new YAC operator.     

A derivative concept with respect to an arbitrary kernel and applications to fractional calculus

In this paper, we propose a new concept of derivative with respect to an arbitrary kernel function. Several properties related to this new operator, like inversion rules and integration by parts, are studied. In particular, we introduce the notion of conjugate kernels, which will be useful to guaranty that the proposed derivative operator admits a right inverse. The proposed concept includes as special cases Riemann‐Liouville fractional derivatives, Hadamard fractional derivatives, and many other fractional operators. Moreover, using our concept, new fractional operators involving certain special functions are introduced, and some of their properties are studied. Finally, an existence result for a boundary value problem involving the introduced derivative operator is proved.

On the non-differentiable exact solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional local fractional breaking soliton equation on Cantor sets

In this article, a new (2 + 1)-dimensional local fractional breaking soliton equation is derived with the local fractional derivative. Applying the traveling wave transform of the non-differentiable type, the (2 + 1)-dimensional local fractional breaking soliton equation is converted into a nonlinear local fractional ordinary differential equation. By defining a set of elementary functions on Cantor sets, a novel analytical technique namely the Mittag–Leffler function-based method is employed for the first time ever to construct the exact solutions. The solutions on the Cantor sets are presented via the 3-D contours. It reveals that the proposed method is effective and powerful and is expected to give some inspiration for the study of the local fractional PDEs.     

Numerical solutions of time fractional degenerate parabolic equations by variational iteration method with Jumarie‐modified Riemann–Liouville derivative

In this article, the fractional variational iteration method is employed for computing the approximate analytical solutions of degenerate parabolic equations with fractional time derivative. The time‐fractional derivatives are described by the use of a new approach, the so‐called Jumarie modified Riemann–Liouville derivative, instead in the sense of Caputo. The approximate solutions of our model problem are calculated in the form of convergent series with easily computable components. Moreover, the numerical solution is compared with the exact solution and the quantitative estimate of accuracy is obtained. The results of the study reveal that the proposed method with modified fractional Riemann–Liouville derivatives is efficient, accurate, and convenient for solving the fractional partial differential equations in multi‐dimensional spaces without using any linearization, perturbation or restrictive assumptions.

A mathematical fractional model with nonsingular kernel for thrombin receptor activation in calcium signalling

In calcium signalling, activation of receptor is a very significant aspect. To understand the mechanism of calcium signalling, receptors are the important components. The mobilization of intracellular calcium from intracellular stores depends upon binding of agonist to cell surface receptor. Thrombin is chosen as model ligand. In order to understand thrombin receptor activation, we analyze fractional model incorporating derivative of arbitrary order and nonsingular kernel which can precisely describe the effect of memory and can explain the model in better and more efficient manner as compared with fractional operators with singular kernels. The problem has been solved by perturbation iterative method. Using fixed‐point theorem, it is proved that solution of the system will exist and also it will be unique.

The main aim of the present work is to propose a new and simple algorithm for space-fractional telegraph equation, namely new fractional homotopy analysis transform method (HATM). The fractional homotopy analysis transform method is an innovative adjustment in Laplace transform algorithm (LTA) and makes the calculation much simpler. The proposed technique solves the nonlinear problems without using Adomian polynomials and He’s polynomials which can be considered as a clear advantage of this new algorithm over decomposition and the homotopy perturbation transform method (HPTM). The beauty of the paper is error analysis which shows that our solution obtained by proposed method converges very rapidly to the known exact solution. The numerical solutions obtained by proposed method indicate that the approach is easy to implement and computationally very attractive. Finally, several numerical examples are given to illustrate the accuracy and stability of this method.

Approximate analytical solution of two-dimensional space-time fractional diffusion equation

This work presents an iterative scheme for the numerical solution of the space-time fractional two-dimensional advection–reaction–diffusion equation applying homotopy perturbation with Laplace transform using Caputo fractional-order derivatives. The solution obtained is beneficial and significant to analyze the modeling of superdiffusive systems and subdiffusive system, anomalous diffusion, transport process in porous media. This iterative technique presents the combination of homotopy perturbation technique, and Laplace transforms with He's polynomials, which can further be applied to numerous linear/nonlinear two-dimensional fractional models to computes the approximate analytical solution. In the present method, the nonlinearity can be tackle by He's polynomials. The salient features of the present scientific work are the pictorial presentations of the approximate numerical solution of the two-dimensional fractional advection–reaction–diffusion equation for different particular cases of fractional order and showcasing of the damping effect of reaction terms on the nature of probability density function of the considered two-dimensional nonlinear mathematical models for various situations.     

On the applicability of Genocchi wavelet method for different kinds of fractional‐order differential equations with delay

A novel collocation method based on Genocchi wavelet is presented for the numerical solution of fractional differential equations and time‐fractional partial differential equations with delay. In this work, to achieve the approximate solution with height accuracy, we employed the operational matrix of integer derivative and the pseudo‐operational matrix of fractional derivative in Caputo sense. Also, based on Genocchi function properties, we presented delay and pantograph operational matrices of Genocchi wavelet functions (GWFs). Due to operational and pseudo‐operational matrices, the equations under this study can be turned into nonlinear algebraic equations with the unknown GWF coefficients. For illustrating the upper bound of error for the proposed method, we estimate the error in the sense of Sobolev space. In addition, to demonstrate the efficacy of the pseudo‐operational matrix of fractional derivative, we investigate the upper bound of error for the mentioned matrix. Finally, the algorithm based on the proposed approach is implemented for some numerical experiments to confirm accuracy and applicability.

A fractional‐order Jacobi Tau method for a class of time‐fractional PDEs with variable coefficients

This paper presents a shifted fractional‐order Jacobi orthogonal function (SFJF) based on the definition of the classical Jacobi polynomial. A new fractional integral operational matrix of the SFJF is presented and derived. We propose the spectral Tau method, in conjunction with the operational matrices of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral for SFJF and derivative for Jacobi polynomial, to solve a class of time‐fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients. In this algorithm, the approximate solution is expanded by means of both SFJFs for temporal discretization and Jacobi polynomials for spatial discretization. The proposed tau scheme, both in temporal and spatial discretizations, successfully reduced such problem into a system of algebraic equations, which is far easier to be solved. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the high accuracy and superiority of the proposed algorithm over existing ones. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The method of approximate particular solutions to simulate an anomalous mobile-immobile transport process

In the current work, a generalized mathematical model based on the Coimbra time fractional derivative of variable order, which describes an anomalous mobile-immobile transport process in complex systems is investigated numerically. A robust numerical technique based on the meshfree strong form method combined with an efficient time-stepping scheme is performed to compute the approximate solution of the problem with high accuracy. For this purpose, firstly, an effective implicit time discretization approach is used for discretizing the variable-order time fractional problem in the time direction. Then a global meshless technique based on the method of approximate particular solutions is performed to fully discretize the model in the spatial domain. The validity and performance of the procedure to numerically simulate the proposed generalized solute transport model on regular and irregular domains are demonstrated through some numerical examples.     

The dual reciprocity boundary elements method for the linear and nonlinear two‐dimensional time‐fractional partial differential equations

In this paper, we apply the dual reciprocity boundary elements method for the numerical solution of two‐dimensional linear and nonlinear time‐fractional modified anomalous subdiffusion equations and time‐fractional convection–diffusion equation. The fractional derivative of problems is described in the Riemann–Liouville and Caputo senses. We employ the linear radial basis function for interpolation of the nonlinear, inhomogeneous and time derivative terms. This method is improved by using a predictor–corrector scheme to overcome the nonlinearity which appears in the nonlinear problems under consideration. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed schemes are checked by five test problems. The proposed method is employed for solving some examples in two dimensions on unit square and also in complex regions to demonstrate the efficiency of the new technique.

Fast Evaluation of Linear Combinations of Caputo Fractional Derivatives and Its Applications to Multi-Term Time-Fractional Sub-Diffusion Equations

In the present work, linear combinations of Caputo fractional derivatives are fast evaluated based on the efficient sum-of-exponentials (SOE) approximation for kernels in Caputo fractional derivatives with an absolute error $\epsilon,$ which is a further work of the existing results in [13] (Commun. Comput. Phys., 21 (2017), pp. 650-678) and [16] (Commun. Comput. Phys., 22 (2017), pp. 1028-1048). Both the storage needs and computational amount are significantly reduced compared with the direct algorithm. Applications of the proposed fast algorithm are illustrated by solving a second-order multi-term time-fractional sub-diffusion problem. The unconditional stability and convergence of the fast difference scheme are proved. The CPU time is largely reduced while the accuracy is kept, especially for the cases of large temporal level, which is displayed by numerical experiments.
