In the 1950’s and 1960’s surface physicists/metallurgists such as Herring and Mullins applied ingenious thermodynamic arguments to explain a number of experimentally observed surface phenomena in crystals. These insights permitted the successful engineering of a large number of alloys, where the major mathematical novelty was that the surface response to external stress was anisotropic.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 93C83, 93C85, 68T40Fractional Calculus (FC) goes back to the beginning of the theory of
differential calculus. Nevertheless, the application of FC just emerged in the
last two decades. In the field of dynamical systems theory some work has
been carried out but the proposed models and algorithms are still in a preliminary
stage of establishment. This article illustrates several applications
of fractional calculus in robot manipulator path planning and control....
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 30C45, 26A33; Secondary 33C15By making use of the fractional differential operator Ω^λz (0 ≤ λ < 1) due
to Owa and Srivastava, a new subclass of univalent functions denoted by
k−SPλ (0 ≤ k < ∞) is introduced. The class k−SPλ unifies the concepts of
k-uniformly convex functions and k-starlike functions. Certain basic
properties of k − SPλ such as inclusion theorem, subordination theorem, growth
theorem and class preserving transforms are studied.*...
Let n be a nonnegative integer and let u ∈ (n,n+1]. We say that f is u-times Peano bounded in the approximate (resp. , 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) sense at if there are numbers , |α| ≤ n, such that is in the approximate (resp. ) sense as h → 0. Suppose f is u-times Peano bounded in either the approximate or sense at each point of a bounded measurable set E. Then for every ε > 0 there is a perfect set Π ⊂ E and a smooth function g such that the Lebesgue measure of E∖Π is less than ε and f = g on Π....
