Time-Fractional Derivatives in Relaxation Processes: A Tutorial Survey

Mainardi, Francesco, Gorenflo, Rudolf (2007)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Similarity:

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 33E12, 33C60, 44A10, 45K05, 74D05, The aim of this tutorial survey is to revisit the basic theory of relaxation processes governed by linear differential equations of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are intended both in the Rieamann-Liouville sense and in the Caputo sense. After giving a necessary outline of the classica theory of linear viscoelasticity, we contrast these two types of fractiona derivatives in their...

Comparative Analysis of Viscoelastic Models Involving Fractional Derivatives of Different Orders

Rossikhin, Yuriy, Shitikova, Marina (2007)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Similarity:

Mathematics Subject Classification: 74D05, 26A33 In this paper, a comparative analysis of the models involving fractional derivatives of di®erent orders is given. Such models of viscoelastic materials are widely used in various problems of mechanics and rheology. Rabotnov's hereditarily elastic rheological model is considered in detail. It is shown that this model is equivalent to the rheological model involving fractional derivatives in the stress and strain with the orders...

Suggestion from the Past?

Machado, J., Jesus, Isabel (2004)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Similarity:

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33 (main), 35A22, 78A25, 93A30 The generalization of the concept of derivative to non-integer values goes back to the beginning of the theory of differential calculus. Nevertheless, its application in physics and engineering remained unexplored up to the last two decades. Recent research motivated the establishment of strategies taking advantage of the Fractional Calculus (FC) in the modeling and control of many phenomena. In fact, many...

Fractional Integration and Fractional Differentiation of the M-Series

Sharma, Manoj (2008)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Similarity:

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 33C60, 44A15 In this paper a new special function called as M-series is introduced. This series is a particular case of the H-function of Inayat-Hussain. The M-series is interesting because the pFq -hypergeometric function and the Mittag-Leffler function follow as its particular cases, and these functions have recently found essential applications in solving problems in physics, biology, engineering and applied sciences. Let us note...

Linear Fractional PDE, Uniqueness of Global Solutions

Schäfer, Ingo, Kempfle, Siegmar, Nolte, Bodo (2005)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Similarity:

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 47A60, 30C15. In this paper we treat the question of existence and uniqueness of solutions of linear fractional partial differential equations. Along examples we show that, due to the global definition of fractional derivatives, uniqueness is only sure in case of global initial conditions.

An Expansion Formula for Fractional Derivatives and its Application

Atanackovic, T., Stankovic, B. (2004)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Similarity:

An expansion formula for fractional derivatives given as in form of a series involving function and moments of its k-th derivative is derived. The convergence of the series is proved and an estimate of the reminder is given. The form of the fractional derivative given here is especially suitable in deriving restrictions, in a form of internal variable theory, following from the second law of thermodynamics, when applied to linear viscoelasticity of fractional derivative type. ...

Some Fractional Extensions of the Temperature Field Problem in Oil Strata

Boyadjiev, Lyubomir (2007)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Similarity:

This survey is devoted to some fractional extensions of the incomplete lumped formulation, the lumped formulation and the formulation of Lauwerier of the temperature field problem in oil strata. The method of integral transforms is used to solve the corresponding boundary value problems for the fractional heat equation. By using Caputo’s differintegration operator and the Laplace transform, new integral forms of the solutions are obtained. In each of the different cases the integrands...

Caputo-Type Modification of the Erdélyi-Kober Fractional Derivative

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Similarity:

2000 Math. Subject Classification: 26A33; 33E12, 33E30, 44A15, 45J05 The Caputo fractional derivative is one of the most used definitions of a fractional derivative along with the Riemann-Liouville and the Grünwald- Letnikov ones. Whereas the Riemann-Liouville definition of a fractional derivative is usually employed in mathematical texts and not so frequently in applications, and the Grünwald-Letnikov definition – for numerical approximation of both Caputo and Riemann-Liouville...

A Brief Story about the Operators of the Generalized Fractional Calculus

Kiryakova, Virginia (2008)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Similarity:

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 33C60, 44A20 In this survey we present a brief history and the basic ideas of the generalized fractional calculus (GFC). The notion “generalized operator of fractional integration” appeared in the papers of the jubilarian Prof. S.L. Kalla in the years 1969-1979 when he suggested the general form of these operators and studied examples of them whose kernels were special functions as the Gauss and generalized hypergeometric functions,...
