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...

We correct a recent result concerning the fractional derivative at extreme points. We then establish new results for the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives at extreme points.

In this paper, we present a numerical computational approach for solving Caputo type fractional differential equations. This method is based on approximation of Caputo derivative in terms of integer order derivatives and waveform relaxation method. The utility of the method is shown by applying it to several examples. A comparative study indicates that our approach is more efficient and accurat...

From the available literature, the allometric scaling laws generally exist in biology, ecology, etc. These scaling laws obey power law distributions. A possibly better approach to characterize the power law is to utilize fractional derivatives. In this paper, we establish a fractional differential equation model for this allometry by using the Caputo fractional derivatives.

The formulations of Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivatives in the complex plane are presented. Two versions corresponding to the whole or half plane. It is shown that they can be obtained from the Grünwald-Letnikov derivative.

We investigate, in the setting of sequentially complete locally convex spaces, degenerate multi-term fractional differential equations with Caputo derivatives. The obtained theoretical results are illustrated with some examples.

We prove a second Noether theorem for Lagrangian densities with fractional derivatives defined in the Riesz–Caputo sense. An application to the fractional electromagnetic field is given. AMS Subject Classifications: 49K05, 26A33.

Although diabetogenic and insulin-like activities are intrinsic properties of the growth hormone (GH) molecule, it has been frequently suggested that the hormone must be proteolytically processed for these activities to be expressed. If this is correct, then derivatives of GH having resistance to appropriate proteolytic attack might not have diabetogenic and/or insulin-like activity. The purpos...
