We introduce stable multi-domain spectral penalty methods suitable for solving fractional partial differential equations with fractional derivatives of any order. The fractional derivative is approximated in each sub domain using orthogonal polynomials and stability of the scheme is achieved through weakly imposed boundary and interface conditions by using a penalty term. We discuss accuracy an...

Many complex systems containing fractal structure can be described by fractional order derivative. By expressing the complex system as fractional order system (system containing fractional order derivative), system’s complex behavior can be simply described with small number of parameters. However, in order to control or identify such system containing unknown variable parameters, online parame...

The unsteady hydro-magnetic free convection flow with heat transfer of a linearly viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid near a moving vertical plate with the constant heat is investigated. The flow domain is the porous half-space and a magnetic field of a variable direction is applied. The Caputo time-fractional derivative is employed in order to introduce a thermal flux consti...

Fractional derivative has a history as long as that of classical calculus, but it is much less popular than it should be. What is the physical meaning of fractional derivative? This is still an open problem. In modeling various memory phenomena, we observe that a memory process usually consists of two stages. One is short with permanent retention, and the other is governed by a simple model of ...

The exact solutions in the wave form are derived for the time fractional KdV and the time fractional Burgers’ equations in conformable fractional derivative sense. The fractional variable change using the fundamental properties of the conformable derivative reduces both equations to some nonlinear ODEs. The predicted solution is assumed to be a finite series form of a function satisfying a part...

We describe a general operational method that can be used in the analysis of fractional initial and boundary value problems with additional analytic conditions. As an example, we derive analytic solutions of some fractional generalisation of differential equations of mathematical physics. Fractionality is obtained by substituting the ordinary integer-order derivative with the Caputo fractional ...

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...

A fractional order HIV model with both virus-tocell and cell-to-cell transmissions and therapy effect is investigated. The conditions for the existence of the equilibria are determined. Local stability analysis of the HIV model is studied by using the fractional Routh-Hurwitz stability conditions. We have generalized the integer LaSalle’s invariant theorem into fractional system and given some ...

We introduce the fractional integral corresponding to the new concept of fractional derivative recently introduced by Caputo and Fabrizio and we study some related fractional differential equations.

We have investigated Turing pattern formation through linear stability analysis and numerical simulations in a two-species reaction–diffusion system in which a fractional order temporal derivative operates on both species, and on both the diffusion term and the reaction term. The order of the fractional derivative affects the time onset of patterning in this model system but it does not affect ...
