We extend the Exp-function method to fractional partial differential equations in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative based on nonlinear fractional complex transformation. For illustrating the validity of this method, we apply it to the space-time fractional Fokas equation and the nonlinear fractional Sharma-Tasso-Olver (STO) equation. As a result, some new exact solutions for th...

Abstract. Based on the fractional q–integral with the parametric lower limit of integration, we define fractional q–derivative of Riemann–Liouville and Caputo type. The properties are studied separately as well as relations between them. Also, we discuss properties of compositions of these operators. Mathematics Subject Classification: 33D60, 26A33 .

We study an initial value problem for a fractional differential equation using the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. We obtain some topological properties of the solution set: It is the intersection of a decreasing sequence of compact nonempty contractible spaces. We extend the classical Kneser’s theorem on the structure solution set for ordinary differential equations. MSC 2010 : 26A33,...

In this work we study fractional order Sumudu transform. In the development of the definition we use fractional analysis based on the modified Riemann Liouville derivative, then we name the fractional Sumudu transform. We also establish a relationship between fractional Laplace and Sumudu via duality with complex inversion formula for fractional Sumudu transform and apply new definition to solv...

This article presents a formulation of the time-fractional generalized Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation using the Euler-Lagrange variational technique in the Riemann-Liouville derivative sense. It finds an approximate solitary wave solution, and shows that He’s variational iteration method is an efficient technique in finding the solution.

A fractional wave equation with a Riemann–Liouville derivative is considered. An arbitrary self-adjoint operator discrete spectrum was taken as the elliptic part. We studied inverse problem of determining order time derivative. By setting value projection solution onto first eigenfunction at fixed point in an additional condition, uniquely restored. The abstract allows us to include many models...

A high-order finite difference scheme is proposed for solving time fractional heat equations. The time fractional derivative is described in the Riemann-Liouville sense. In the proposed scheme a new second-order discretization, which is based on Crank-Nicholson method, is applied for the time fractional part and fourth-order accuracy compact approximation is applied for the second-order space d...

In this paper, based on certain variable transformation, we apply the known (G’/G) method to seek exact solutions for three fractional partial differential equations: the space fractional (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equations, the space-time fractional Fokas equation, and the spacetime fractional Kaup-Kupershmidt equation. The fractional derivative is defined in the sense of modified Rie...

In this paper, we consider a time-dependent diffusion problem with two-sided Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives. By introducing a fractional-order flux as auxiliary variable, we establish the saddle-point variational formulation, based on which we employ a locally conservative mixed finite element method to approximate the unknown function, its derivative and the fractional flux in space ...

In this paper, we investigate the existence of three positive solutions for the nonlinear fractional boundary value problem Dα0+u(t) + a(t) f (t, u(t), u (t)) = 0, 0 < t < 1, 3 < α ≤ 4, u(0) = u(0) = u(0) = u(1) = 0, where Dα0+ is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. The method involves applications of a new fixed-point theorem due to Bai and Ge. The interesting point lies in t...
