This paper investigates the axial unsteady flow of a generalized Burgers’ fluid with fractional constitutive equation in a circular micro-tube, in presence of a time-dependent pressure gradient and an electric field parallel to flow direction and a magnetic field perpendicular on the flow direction. The mathematical model used in this work is based on a time-nonlocal constitutive equation for s...

The fractional derivatives in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative and the improved fractional sub-equation method are employed for constructing the exact solutions of nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. By means of this method, the space-time fractional generalized Hirota-Satsuma coupled Kortewegde Vries equations are successfully solved. As a result, three types...

Fractional generalization of an exterior derivative for calculus of variations is defined. The Hamilton and Lagrange approaches are considered. Fractional Hamilton and Euler–Lagrange equations are derived. Fractional equations are obtained by fractional variation of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian that have only integer derivatives. PACS numbers: 45.20.−d, 45.20.Jj

We introduce a fractional theory of the calculus of variations for multiple integrals. Our approach uses the recent notions of Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives and integrals in the sense of Jumarie. The main results provide fractional versions of the theorems of Green and Gauss, fractional Euler–Lagrange equations, and fractional natural boundary conditions. As an application we discuss...

We consider a fractional generalization of Hamiltonian and gradient systems. We use differential forms and exterior derivatives of fractional orders. We derive fractional generalization of Helmholtz conditions for phase space. Examples of fractional gradient and Hamiltonian systems are considered. The stationary states for these systems are derived. PACS numbers: 45.20.−d, 05.45.−a

Based on high order approximation of L-stable RungeKutta methods for the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives, several classes of high order fractional Runge-Kutta methods for solving nonlinear fractional differential equation are constructed. Consistency, convergence and stability analysis of the numerical methods are given. Numerical experiments show that the proposed methods are efficien...

In this paper, the fractional Sturm-Liouville problems, in which the second order derivative is replaced by a fractional derivative, are derived by the Homotopy perturbation method. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The present results can be implemented on the numerical solutions of the fractional diffusion-wave equations. Numerical results show that HPM is effectiv...
