In this paper, we further discuss the properties of three kinds of fractional derivatives: the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative, the Riemann–Liouville derivative and the Caputo derivative. Especially, we compare the Riemann–Liouville derivative with the Caputo derivative. And sequential property of the Caputo derivative is also derived, which is helpful in translating the higher fractional-order di...

The aim of this tutorial survey is to revisit the basic theory of relaxation processes governed by linear differential equations of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are intended both in the Rieamann-Liouville sense and in the Caputo sense. After giving a necessary outline of the classical theory of linear viscoelasticity, we contrast these two types of fractional derivatives in thei...

the present study introduces a new technique of homotopy perturbation method for the solution of systems of fractional partial differential equations. the proposed scheme is based on laplace transform and new homotopy perturbation methods. the fractional derivatives are considered in caputo sense. to illustrate the ability and reliability of the method some examples are provided. the results ob...

This paper develops appropriate boundary conditions for the two-sided fractional diffusion equation, where the usual second derivative in space is replaced by a weighted average of positive and negative fractional derivatives. Mass preserving, reflecting boundary conditions for two-sided fractional diffusion involve a balance of left and right fractional derivatives at the boundary. Stable, con...

2. Preliminaries Fractional differintegration’s set foot in control compass, also consistency of Caputo definition among the other fractional derivative’s definitions with engineering applications, is caused to devote this section to the basic definition of fractional calculus and its properties (Table 1). The Riemann–Liouville (RL) and the Caputo are the most popular fractional derivatives def...

The study of fractional variational problems with derivatives in the sense of Caputo is a recent subject, the main results being Agrawal’s necessary optimality conditions of Euler-Lagrange and respective transversality conditions. Using Agrawal’s Euler-Lagrange equation and the Lagrange multiplier technique, we obtain here a Noether-like theorem for fractional optimal control problems in the se...

This paper introduces techniques for the estimation of solutions to fractional order differential equations (FODEs) and the approximation of a function’s Caputo fractional derivative. These techniques are based on scattered data interpolation via reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs). Specifically, an RKHS is generated for the purpose of estimating fractional derivatives from the Mittag-Lef...

Here we state the main properties of the Caputo, Riemann-Liouville and the Caputo via Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and give some general notes on these properties. Some properties given in some recent literatures and used to solve fractional nonlinear partial differential equations will be proved that they are incorrect by giving some counter examples.
