Hölder exponents of irregular signals and local fractional derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been recognized recently that fractional calculus is useful for handling scaling structures and processes. We begin this survey by pointing out the relevance of the subject to physical situations. Then the essential definitions and formulae from fractional calculus are summarized and their immediate use in the study of scaling in physical systems is given. This is followed by a brief summary of classical results. The main theme of the review rests on the notion of local fractional derivatives. There is a direct connection between local fractional differentiability properties and the dimensions/ local Hölder exponents of nowhere differentiable functions. It is argued that local fractional derivatives provide a powerful tool to analyse the pointwise behaviour of irregular signals and functions. PACS Numbers: 47.53.+n, 47.52.+j, 02.30.Bi, 05.40.+j

Fractional differentiability of nowhere differentiable functions and dimensions.
Weierstrass's everywhere continuous but nowhere differentiable function is shown to be locally continuously fractionally differentiable everywhere for all orders below the "critical order" 2-s and not so for orders between 2-s and 1, where s, 1<s<2 is the box dimension of the graph of the function. This observation is consolidated in the general result showing a direct connection between local ...
متن کاملOn the Hölder regularity for the fractional Schrödinger equation and its improvement for radial data
We consider the linear, time-independent fractional Schrödinger equation (−∆)ψ + V ψ = f on Ω ⊂ R . We are interested in the local Hölder exponents of distributional solutions ψ, assuming local L integrability of the functions V and f . By standard arguments, we obtain the formula 2s−N/p for the local Hölder exponent of ψ where we take some extra care regarding endpoint cases. For our main resu...

متن کاملThe Study of Some Boundary Value Problems Including Fractional Partial Differential Equations with non-Local Boundary Conditions
In this paper, we consider some boundary value problems (BVP) for fractional order partial differential equations (FPDE) with non-local boundary conditions. The solutions of these problems are presented as series solutions analytically via modified Mittag-Leffler functions. These functions have been modified by authors such that their derivatives are invariant with respect to fractional deriv...

In the present work, the numerical solution of two-dimensional variable-order fractional cable (VOFC) equation using meshless collocation methods with thin plate spline radial basis functions is considered. In the proposed methods, we first use two schemes of order O(τ2) for the time derivatives and then meshless approach is applied to the space component. Numerical results obtained ...
