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...

The multistep differential transform method is first employed to solve a time-fractional enzyme kinetics. This enzyme-substrate reaction is formed by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. A comparative study between the new algorithm and the classical Runge-Kutta method is presented in the case of...

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...

In the present paper we obtain closed form solutions of spacetime fractional telegraph equations using Adomian decomposition method. The space and time fractional derivatives are considered as Caputo fractional derivative and the solutions are obtained in terms of Mittag-Leffler functions.

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.

We study the properties of fractional differentiation with respect to the reflection symmetry in a finite interval. The representation and integration formulae are derived for symmetric and anti-symmetric fractional derivatives, both of the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo type. The action dependent on the left-sided Caputo derivatives of orders in the range (1,2) is considered and we derive the Eu...
