The improved fractional sub-equation method and its applications to the space-time fractional differential equations in fluid mechanics

By introducing a new general ansätz, the improved fractional sub-equation method is proposed to construct analytical solutions of nonlinear evolution equations involving Jumarie?s modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. By means of this method, the space-time fractional Whitham-Broer-Kaup and generalized Hirota-Satsuma coupled KdV equations are successfully solved. The obtained results show that the proposed method is quite effective, promising and convenient for solving nonlinear fractional differential equations.     

Generalized Fokker-Planck equation for a class of stochastic dynamical systems driven by additive Gaussian and Poissonian fractional white noises of order <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>

In a first stage, the paper deals with the derivation and the solution of the equation of the probability density function of a stochastic system driven simultaneously by a fractional Gaussian white noise and a fractional Poissonian white noise both of the same order. The key is the Taylor’s series of fractional order f(x + h) = E _α(h^αD _x ^α)f(x) where E _α() denotes the Mittag-Leffler function, and D _x ^α is the so-called modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative which removes the effects of the non-zero initial value of the function under consideration. The corresponding fractional linear partial differential equation is solved by using a suitable extension of the Lagrange’s technique involving an auxiliary set of fractional differential equations. As an example, one considers a half-oscillator of fractional order driven by a fractional Poissonian noise.

A new approach for seeking coefficient function solutions of conformable fractional partial differential equations based on the Jacobi elliptic equation

In this paper, we present an approach for seeking exact solutions with coefficient function forms of conformable fractional partial differential equations. By a combination of an under-determined fractional transformation and the Jacobi elliptic equation, exact solutions with coefficient function forms can be obtained for fractional partial differential equations. The innovation point of the present approach lies in two aspects. One is the fractional transformation, which involve the traveling wave transformations used by many articles as special cases. The other is that more general exact solutions with coefficient function forms can be found, and traveling wave solutions with constants coefficients are only special cases of our results. As of applications, we apply this method to the space-time fractional (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equations and the time fractional Bogoyavlenskii equations. As a result, some exact solutions with coefficient function forms for the two equations are successfully found.
