چکیده

Autoregressive fractional integrated moving average modeling strategy was used to model the daily average temperature (DAT) series of Sokoto metropolis for the period of 01/01/2003 to 03/04/2007. The time plot suggests that there is persistence dependence in the series. The order of fractional integration was found to be 0.6238841. The correct model for the daily average temperature data (DAT) of Sokoto metropolis was built. Two models were found to be more adequate for describing, explaining and forecasting the temperature, ARFIMA (3, 0.6238841, 1) and ARFIMA (1, 0.6238841, 3). But by checking the forecastability, ARFIMA (3, 0.6238841, 1) model was found to be the best optimal model that will best forecast Sokoto metropolis temperature. The fitted model should be used for future forecast of temperature of Sokoto metropolis. Forecasting temperature is important to Agriculturist, Geographers and Hydrologist. Air temperature determines the rate of evapotranspiration.

A distinct numerical approach for the solution of some kind of initial value problem involving nonlinear q-fractional differential equations

The fractional calculus deals with the generalization of integration and differentiation of integer order to those ones of any order. The q-fractional differential equation usually describe the physical process imposed on the time scale set Tq. In this paper, we first propose a difference formula for discretizing the fractional q-derivative  of Caputo type with order  and scale index . We es...

Fractional-order Legendre wavelets and their applications for solving fractional-order differential equations with initial/boundary conditions

In this manuscript a new method is introduced for solving fractional differential equations. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The main idea is to use fractional-order Legendre wavelets and operational matrix of fractional-order integration. First the fractional-order Legendre wavelets (FLWs) are presented. Then a family of piecewise functions is proposed, based on whi...

Pseudo-spectral ‎M‎atrix and Normalized Grunwald Approximation for Numerical Solution of Time Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation

This paper presents a new numerical method to solve time fractional Fokker-Planck equation. The space dimension is discretized to the Gauss-Lobatto points, then we apply pseudo-spectral successive integration matrix for this dimension. This approach shows that with less number of points, we can approximate the solution with more accuracy. The numerical results of the examples are displayed.
