Exact solutions of some systems of fractional differential‐difference equations

In this paper, the ‐expansion method is proposed to establish hyperbolic and trigonometric function solutions for fractional differential‐difference equations with the modified Riemann–Liouville derivative. The fractional complex transform is proposed to convert a fractional partial differential‐difference equation into its differential‐difference equation of integer order. We obtain the hyperbolic and periodic function solutions of the nonlinear time‐fractional Toda lattice equations and relativistic Toda lattice system. The proposed method is more effective and powerful for obtaining exact solutions for nonlinear fractional differential–difference equations and systems. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We consider global stability for the fractional incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations in a 3‐D critical Fourier‐Herz space.

Analytical solution for a generalized space‐time fractional telegraph equation

In this paper, we consider a nonhomogeneous space‐time fractional telegraph equation defined in a bounded space domain, which is obtained from the standard telegraph equation by replacing the first‐order or second‐order time derivative by the Caputo fractional derivative , α > 0 and the Laplacian operator by the fractional Laplacian ( ? Δ)^{β ∕ 2}, β ∈ (0,2]. We discuss and derive the analytical solutions under nonhomogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions by using the method of separation of variables. The obtained solutions are expressed through multivariate Mittag‐Leffler type functions. Special cases of solutions are also discussed. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A new proof of the existence of weak solutions to a model for phase evolution driven by material forces

We prove the existence of weak solutions to a one‐dimensional initial‐boundary value problem for a model system of partial differential equations, which consists of a sub‐system of linear elasticity and a nonlinear non‐uniformly parabolic equation of second order. To simplify the existence proof of weak solutions in the 2006 paper of Alber and Zhu, we replace the function in that work by . The model is formulated by using a sharp interface model for phase transformations that are driven by material forces. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Analysis of positive solution and Hyers‐Ulam stability for a class of singular fractional differential equations with p‐Laplacian in Banach space

This paper deals with 2 core aspects of fractional calculus including existence of positive solution and Hyers‐Ulam stability for a class of singular fractional differential equations with nonlinear p‐Laplacian operator in Caputo sense. For these aims, the suggested problem is converted into an integral equation via Green function , for ε∈(n−1,n], where n≥4. Then, the Green function is examined whether it is increasing or decreasing and positive or negative function. After these properties, some classical fixed‐point theorems are used for the existence of positive solution. Hyers‐Ulam stability of the proposed problem is also considered. For the application of the results, an expressive example is included.

By using penalization techniques and Ljusternik‐Schnirelmann theory, we investigate the relation between the number of positive solutions with the topology of the set where the potential attains its minimum.     

An efficient numerical approach to solve Schrödinger equations with space fractional derivative

We design and analyze an efficient numerical approach to solve the coupled Schrödinger equations with space‐fractional derivative. The numerical scheme is based on leap‐frog in time direction and Fourier method in spatial direction. The advantage of the numerical scheme is that only a linear equation needs to be solved for each time step size, and we proved that the energy and mass of space‐fractional coupled Schrödinger equations (SFCSEs) are conserved in the case of full‐discrete scheme. Moreover, we also analyze the error estimate of the numerical scheme, and numerical solutions converge with the order in L² norm. Numerical examples are illustrated to verify the theoretical results.
