Box dimension and fractional integral of linear fractal interpolation functions

In this paper, we present a new method to calculate the box dimension of a graph of continuous functions. Using this method, we obtain the box dimension formula for linear fractal interpolation functions (FIFs). Furthermore we prove that the fractional integral of a linear FIF is also a linear FIF and in some cases, there exists a linear relationship between the order of fractional integral and box dimension of two linear FIFs.     

ON THE BOX DIMENSION FOR A CLASS OF NONAFFINE FRACTAL INTERPOLATION FUNCTIONS

On the fractional derivatives of radial basis functions: Theories and applications

The paper provides the fractional integrals and derivatives of the Riemann‐Liouville and Caputo type for the five kinds of radial basis functions, including the Powers, Gaussian, Multiquadric, Matérn, and Thin‐plate splines, in one dimension. It allows to use high‐order numerical methods for solving fractional differential equations. The results are tested by solving two test problems. The first test case focuses on the discretization of the fractional differential operator while the second considers the solution of a fractional order differential equation.     

Fractal dimension for fractal structures: A Hausdorff approach revisited

In this paper, we use fractal structures to study a new approach to the Hausdorff dimension from both continuous and discrete points of view. We show that it is possible to generalize the Hausdorff dimension in the context of Euclidean spaces equipped with their natural fractal structure. To do this, we provide three definitions of fractal dimension for a fractal structure and study their relationships and mathematical properties.     

Variation and Minkowski dimension of fractal interpolation surface

The fractal interpolation surface on the rectangular domain is discussed in this paper. We study the properties of the oscillation and the variation of bivariate continuous functions. Then we discuss the special properties of bivariate fractal interpolation function, and estimate the value of its variation. Using the relation between the Minkowski dimension of the graph of continuous function and its variation, we obtain the exact value of the Minkowski dimension of the fractal interpolation surface.     

Generalization of different type integral inequalities for s-convex functions via fractional integrals

In this paper, a general integral identity for twice differentiable functions is derived. By using of this identity, the author establishes some new estimates on Hermite-Hadamard type and Simpson type inequalities for s-convex via Riemann–Liouville fractional integral.     

The relationship between the Box dimension of the Besicovitch functions and the orders of their fractional calculus

The relationship between the Box dimension of the Besicovitch functions and the orders of their fractional calculus has been investigated. On some special conditions, the linear connection between them has been proved, and the other case has also been discussed.     

The Legendre condition of the fractional calculus of variations

Fractional operators play an important role in modelling nonlocal phenomena and problems involving coarse-grained and fractal spaces. The fractional calculus of variations with functionals depending on derivatives and/or integrals of noninteger order is a rather recent subject that is currently in fast development due to its applications in physics and other sciences. In the last decade, several approaches to fractional variational calculus were proposed by using different notions of fractional derivatives and integrals. Although the literature of the fractional calculus of variations is already vast, much remains to be done in obtaining necessary and sufficient conditions for the optimization of fractional variational functionals, existence and regularity of solutions. Regarding necessary optimality conditions, all works available in the literature concern the derivation of first-order fractional conditions of Euler–Lagrange type. In this work, we obtain a Legendre second-order necessary optimality condition for weak extremizers of a variational functional that depends on fractional derivatives.     

Parameter identification of 1D fractal interpolation functions using bounding volumes

Fractal interpolation functions are very useful in capturing data that exhibit an irregular (non-smooth) structure. Two new methods to identify the vertical scaling factors of such functions are presented. In particular, they minimize the area of the symmetric difference between the bounding volumes of the data points and their transformed images. Comparative results with existing methods are given that establish the proposed ones as attractive alternatives. In general, they outperform existing methods for both low and high compression ratios. Moreover, lower and upper bounds for the vertical scaling factors that are computed by the first method are presented.     

Sub-Riemannian vs. Euclidean dimension comparison and fractal geometry on Carnot groups

We solve Gromov's dimension comparison problem for Hausdorff and box counting dimension on Carnot groups equipped with a Carnot-Carathéodory metric and an adapted Euclidean metric. The proofs use sharp covering theorems relating optimal mutual coverings of Euclidean and Carnot-Carathéodory balls, and elements of sub-Riemannian fractal geometry associated to horizontal self-similar iterated function systems on Carnot groups. Inspired by Falconer's work on almost sure dimensions of Euclidean self-affine fractals we show that Carnot-Carathéodory self-similar fractals are almost surely horizontal. As a consequence we obtain explicit dimension formulae for invariant sets of Euclidean iterated function systems of polynomial type. Jet space Carnot groups provide a rich source of examples.     

On the Wright hypergeometric matrix functions and their fractional calculus

In this paper we focus on the Wright hypergeometric matrix functions and incomplete Wright Gauss hypergeometric matrix functions by using Pochhammer matrix symbol. We first introduce the Wright hypergeometric functions of a matrix argument and examine the convergence of these matrix functions in the unit circle, then we discuss the integral representations and differential formulas of the Wright hypergeometric matrix functions. We have also carried out a similar study process for incomplete Wright Gauss hypergeometric matrix functions. Finally, we obtain some results on the transform and fractional calculus of these Wright hypergeometric matrix functions.     

Connection between the order of fractional calculus and fractional dimensions of a type of fractal functions

The linear relationship between fractal dimensions of a type of generalized Weierstrass functions and the order of their fractional calculus has been proved. The graphs and numerical results given here further indicate the corresponding relationship.     

Construction of recurrent bivariate fractal interpolation surfaces and computation of their box-counting dimension

Recurrent bivariate fractal interpolation surfaces (RBFISs) generalise the notion of affine fractal interpolation surfaces (FISs) in that the iterated system of transformations used to construct such a surface is non-affine. The resulting limit surface is therefore no longer self-affine nor self-similar. Exact values for the box-counting dimension of the RBFISs are obtained. Finally, a methodology to approximate any natural surface using RBFISs is outlined.     

On a generalized dimension of self‐affine fractals

For a d ×d expanding matrix A, we de.ne a pseudo‐norm w (x) in terms of A and use this pseudo‐norm (instead of the Euclidean norm) to define the Hausdorff measure and the Hausdorff dimension dim^w _H E for subsets E in R ^d . We show that this new approach gives convenient estimations to the classical Hausdorff dimension dim^w _H E, and in the case that the eigenvalues of A have the same modulus, then dim^w _H E and dim_H E coincide. This setup is particularly useful to study self‐affine sets T generated by ?j (x) = A^–1(x +dj), dj ∈ R ^d , j = 1, …, N. We use it to investigate the fractality of T for the case that {?j }^N _{j =1} satisfying the open set condition as well as the cases without the open set condition. We extend some well‐known results in the self‐similar sets to the self‐af.ne sets. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Properties of fractional calculus with respect to a function and Bernstein type polynomials

This paper is divided into two stages. In the first stage, we investigated a new approach for the $\psi$-Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and the Faa di Bruno formula for the $\psi$-Hilfer fractional derivative. In addition, we discussed other properties involving the $\psi$-Hilfer fractional derivative and the $\psi$-Riemann–Liouville fractional integral. In the second stage, Bernstein polynomials involving the $\psi (·)$ function are investigated and the $\psi$-Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and $\psi$-Hilfer fractional derivative from the Bernstein polynomials are evaluated. We also discussed the relationship between the $\psi$-Hilfer fractional derivative with Laguerre polynomials and hypergeometric functions, and a version of the fractional mean value theorem with respect to a function. Motivated by the Bernstein polynomials, the second stage uses the Bernstein polynomials to approximate the solution of a fractional integro-differential equation with Hilfer fractional derivative and concluding with a numerical approach with its respective graph.     

ON A CLASS OF BESICOVITCHFUNCTIONS TO HAVE EXACT BOX DIMENSION： A NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITION

This paper summarized recent achievements obtained by the authors about the box dimensions of the Besicovitch functions given byB(t) := ∞∑k=1 λs-2k sin(λkt),where 1 ＜ s ＜ 2, λk ＞ 0 tends to infinity as k →∞ and λk satisfies λk 1/λk ≥λ＞ 1. The results show thatlimk→∞ log λk 1/log λk = 1is a necessary and sufficient condition for Graph(B(t)) to have same upper and lower box dimensions.For the fractional Riemann-Liouville differential operator Du and the fractional integral operator D-v,the results show that if λ is sufficiently large, then a necessary and sufficient condition for box dimension of Graph(D-v(B)),0 ＜ v ＜ s - 1, to be s - v and box dimension of Graph(Du(B)),0 ＜ u ＜ 2 - s, to be s uis also lim k→∞logλk 1/log λk = 1.     

Well‐posed fractional calculus operator: Obtaining new transformations formulas involving Gauss hypergeometric functions with rational quadratic,cubic, and higher degree arguments

In this paper, we propose a systematic method for discovering new transformation formulas for the Gauss hypergeometric function with quadratic and rational (quadratic, cubic, and of higher degree) arguments. These new transformation formulas are obtained from known transformation formulas given in 1881 by Goursat (E. Goursat, Sur l'Équation différentielle linéaire qui admet pour intégrale la série hypergéométrique, Annales scientifique de l'É. N. S., 2e série tome 10 [1881], 3–142). This method relies on the use of the well‐posed fractional calculus operator introduced by Tremblay (R. Tremblay, Une contribution à la théorie de la dérivée fractionnaire, Doctoral thesis, Université Laval, Québec, Canada [1974]). We illustrate the effectiveness of the method by giving several presumably new transformation formulas for the Gauss hypergeometric function.
