Stability of the solutions to a nonlinear impulsive Caputo fractional differential equation is studied using Lyapunov like functions. The derivative of piecewise continuous Lyapunov functions among the nonlinear impulsive Caputo differential equation of fractional order is defined. This definition is a natural generalization of the Caputo fractional Dini derivative of a function. Several suffic...

Evolution equations for anomalous diffusion employ fractional derivatives in space and time. Linkage between the space-time variables leads to a new type of fractional derivative operator. This paper develops the mathematical foundations of those operators.

The voltage trace of neuronal activities can follow multiple timescale dynamics that arise from correlated membrane conductances. Such processes can result in power-law behavior in which the membrane voltage cannot be characterized with a single time constant. The emergent effect of these membrane correlations is a non-Markovian process that can be modeled with a fractional derivative. A fracti...

In this paper, we are concerned with seeking exact solutions for fractional differential-difference equations by an extended Riccati sub-ODE method. The fractional derivative is defined in the sense of the modified Riemann-liouville derivative. By a combination of this method and a fractional complex transformation, the iterative relations from indices n to n ± 1 are established. As for applica...
