In this note, we establish the sectorial property of the Caputo fractional derivative operator of order α ∈ (1, 2) with a zero Dirichlet boundary condition.

in this paper, a new numerical method for solving fractional optimal control problems (focps) is presented. the fractional derivative in the dynamic system is described in the caputo sense. the method is based upon biorthogonal cubic hermite spline multiwavelets approxima-tions. the properties of biorthogonal multiwavelets are first given. the operational matrix of fractional riemann-lioville i...

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 paper we develop a fractional Hamiltonian formulation for dynamic systems defined in terms of fractional Caputo derivatives. Expressions for fractional canonical momenta and fractional canoni-cal Hamiltonian are given, and a set of fractional Hamiltonian equations are obtained. Using an example, it is shown that the canonical fractional Hamiltonian and the fractional Euler-Lagrange form...

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.

We introduce the fractional integral corresponding to the new concept of fractional derivative recently introduced by Caputo and Fabrizio and we study some related fractional differential equations.

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...
