Based on the recently introduced fractional Taylor’s formula, a fractional heat conduction constitutive equation is formulated by expanding the single-phase lag model using the fractional Taylor’s formula. Combining with the energy balance equation, the derived fractional heat conduction equation has been shown to be capable of modeling diffusion-to-Thermal wave behavior of heat propagation by ...

in this paper, we study the problem of minimizing the ratio of two quadratic functions subject to a quadratic constraint. first we introduce a parametric equivalent of the problem. then a bisection and a generalized newton-based method algorithms are presented to solve it. in order to solve the quadratically constrained quadratic minimization problem within both algorithms, a semidefinite optim...

There has been much research on network flows over time due to their important role in real world applications. This has led to many results, but the more challenging continuous time model still lacks some of the key concepts and techniques that are the cornerstones of static network flows. The aim of this paper is to advance the state of the art for dynamic network flows by developing the cont...

We study the periodic boundary value problem for semilinear fractional differential equations in an ordered Banach space. The method of upper and lower solutions is then extended. The results on the existence of minimal and maximal mild solutions are obtained by using the characteristics of positive operators semigroup and the monotone iterative scheme. The results are illustrated by means of a...

Proof: (by induction). We want to show that one SAP doesn’t introduce negative cycles in Gf . Initially there are no negative cost cycles. Feasible prices can be computed by using shortest path distances from s. After finding the shortest s-t path, it has reduced cost 0. Every arc on the path has reduced length 0. This demonstrates that the triangle inequality property is tight on shortest path...

In this paper, we consider the second-kind Chebyshev polynomials (SKCPs) for the numerical solution of the fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs). Firstly, an introduction of the fractional calculus and properties of the shifted SKCPs are given and then operational matrix of fractional integration is introduced. Next, these properties are used together with the Legendre-Gauss quadrature fo...

in this paper two different methods are presented to approximate the solution of the fractional black-scholes equation for valuation of barrier option. also, the two schemes need less computational work in comparison with the traditional methods. in this work, we propose a new generalization of the two-dimensional differential transform method and decomposition method that will extend the appli...
