A fractional wave equation replaces the second time derivative by a Caputo derivative of order between one and two. In this paper, we show that the fractional wave equation governs a stochastic model for wave propagation, with deterministic time replaced by the inverse of a stable subordinator whose index is one half the order of the fractional time derivative.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new approach in modeling and simulation of a reverse osmosis desalination system by using fractional differential equations. Using the Legendre wavelet method combined with the decoupling and quasi-linearization technique, we demonstrate the validity and applicability of our model. Examples are developed to illustrate the fractional differential techniq...

Dedicated to Professor Rudolf Gorenflo on the occasion of his 80th anniversary In the paper, maximum principle for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equations including the multi-term diffusion equation and the diffusion equation of distributed order is formulated and discussed. In these equations, the time-fractional derivative is defined in the Caputo sense. In contrast to the Riemann...

in this manuscript a new method is introduced for solving fractional differential equations. the fractional derivative is described in the caputo sense. the main idea is to use fractional-order legendre wavelets and operational matrix of fractional-order integration. first the fractional-order legendre wavelets (flws) are presented. then a family of piecewise functions is proposed, based on whi...

In this paper we introduce a type of fractional-order polynomials based on the classical Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind (FCSs). Also we construct the operational matrix of fractional derivative of order $ gamma $ in the Caputo for FCSs and show that this matrix with the Tau method are utilized to reduce the solution of some fractional-order differential equations.

The aim of this paper is to establish the existence of solutions of boundary value problems of nonlinear fractional integro-differential equations involving Caputo fractional derivative by using the techniques such as fractional calculus, H"{o}lder inequality, Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem and nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type. Examples are exhibited to illustrate the main resu...

and Applied Analysis 3 Let Γ(⋅) denote the gamma function. For any positive integer n and real number θ (n − 1 < θ < n), there are different definitions of fractional derivatives with order θ in [8]. During this paper, we consider the left, (right) Caputo derivative and left (right) Riemann-Liouville derivative defined as follows: (i) the left Caputo derivative: C 0 D θ t V (t) = 1 Γ (n − θ) ∫ ...

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, the fractional Sturm-Liouville problems, in which the second order derivative is replaced by a fractional derivative, are derived by the Homotopy perturbation method. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The present results can be implemented on the numerical solutions of the fractional diffusion-wave equations. Numerical results show that HPM is effectiv...
