Application of the Caputo‐Fabrizio and Atangana‐Baleanu fractional derivatives to mathematical model of cancer chemotherapy effect

In this paper, we obtain approximate‐analytical solutions of a cancer chemotherapy effect model involving fractional derivatives with exponential kernel and with general Mittag‐Leffler function. Laplace homotopy perturbation method and the modified homotopy analysis transform method were applied. The first method is based on a combination of the Laplace transform and homotopy methods, while the second method is an analytical technique based on homotopy polynomial. The cancer chemotherapy effect equations are solved numerically and analytically using the aforesaid methods. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented technique with new fractional‐order derivatives with exponential decay law and with general Mittag‐Leffler law.

On the concept and existence of solution for impulsive fractional differential equations

This paper is motivated from some recent papers treating the problem of the existence of a solution for impulsive differential equations with fractional derivative. We firstly show that the formula of solutions in cited papers are incorrect. Secondly, we reconsider a class of impulsive fractional differential equations and introduce a correct formula of solutions for a impulsive Cauchy problem with Caputo fractional derivative. Further, some sufficient conditions for existence of the solutions are established by applying fixed point methods. Some examples are given to illustrate the results.

In this paper, some properties of a stochastic convolution driven by tempered fractional Brownian motion are obtained. Based on this result, we get the existence and uniqueness of stochastic mean-field equation driven by tempered fractional Brownian motion. Furthermore, combining with the Banach fixed point theorem and the properties of Mittag-Leffler functions, we study the existence and uniqueness of mild solution for a kind of time fractional mean-field stochastic differential equation driven by tempered fractional Brownian motion.

In this article, we derive the sufficient conditions for the existence of mild solutions of Hilfer fractional stochastic integrodifferential equations with nonlocal conditions and Poisson jumps in Hilbert spaces. Results will be obtained in the pth mean square sense by using the fractional calculus, semigroup theory and stochastic analysis techniques. The article generalizes many of the existing results in the literature in terms of (1) Riemann–Liouville and Caputo derivatives are the special cases. (2) In the sense of pth mean square norm. (3) Stochastic integrodifferential with nonlocal conditions and Poisson jumps. A numerical example is provided to validate the obtained theoretical results.     

A new Jacobi operational matrix: An application for solving fractional differential equations

In this paper, we derived the shifted Jacobi operational matrix (JOM) of fractional derivatives which is applied together with spectral tau method for numerical solution of general linear multi-term fractional differential equations (FDEs). A new approach implementing shifted Jacobi operational matrix in combination with the shifted Jacobi collocation technique is introduced for the numerical solution of nonlinear multi-term FDEs. The main characteristic behind this approach is that it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of algebraic equations which greatly simplifying the problem. The proposed methods are applied for solving linear and nonlinear multi-term FDEs subject to initial or boundary conditions, and the exact solutions are obtained for some tested problems. Special attention is given to the comparison of the numerical results obtained by the new algorithm with those found by other known methods.

Fractional‐order orthogonal Bernstein polynomials for numerical solution of nonlinear fractional partial Volterra integro‐differential equations

In this paper, a new two‐dimensional fractional polynomials based on the orthonormal Bernstein polynomials has been introduced to provide an approximate solution of nonlinear fractional partial Volterra integro‐differential equations. For this aim, the fractional‐order orthogonal Bernstein polynomials (FOBPs) are constructed, and its operational matrices of integration, fractional‐order integration, and derivative in the Caputo sense and product operational matrix are derived. These operational matrices are utilized to reduce the under study problem to a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. Using the approximation of FOBPs, the convergence analysis and error estimate associated to the proposed problem have been investigated. Finally, several examples are included to clarify the validity, efficiency, and applicability of the proposed technique via FOBPs approximation.

In this paper, we discuss a new general formulation of fractional optimal control problems whose performance index is in the fractional integral form and the dynamics are given by a set of fractional differential equations in the Caputo sense. The approach we use to prove necessary conditions of optimality in the form of Pontryagin maximum principle for fractional nonlinear optimal control problems is new in this context. Moreover, a new method based on a generalization of the Mittag–Leffler function is used to solving this class of fractional optimal control problems. A simple example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our main result. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

New predictor‐corrector scheme for solving nonlinear differential equations with Caputo‐Fabrizio operator

In this paper, we develop a new, simple, and accurate scheme to obtain approximate solution for nonlinear differential equation in the sense of Caputo‐Fabrizio operator. To derive this new predictor‐corrector scheme, which suits on Caputo‐Fabrizio operator, firstly, we obtain the corresponding initial value problem for the differential equation in the Caputo‐Fabrizio sense. Hence, by fractional Euler method and fractional trapeziodal rule, we obtain the predictor formula as well as corrector formula. Error analysis for this new method is derived. To test the validity and simplicity of this method, some illustrative examples for nonlinear differential equations are solved.     

A novel method for nonlinear fractional partial differential equations: Combination of DTM and generalized Taylor's formula

In this article, a novel numerical method is proposed for nonlinear partial differential equations with space- and time-fractional derivatives. This method is based on the two-dimensional differential transform method (DTM) and generalized Taylor's formula. The fractional derivatives are considered in the Caputo sense. Several illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method. Results obtained using the scheme presented here agree well with the analytical solutions and the numerical results presented elsewhere. Results also show that the numerical scheme is very effective and convenient for solving nonlinear partial differential equations of fractional order.
