The homotopy analysis method HAM is applied to solve linear and nonlinear fractional partial differential equations fPDEs . The fractional derivatives are described by Caputo’s sense. Series solutions of the fPDEs are obtained. A convergence theorem for the series solution is also given. The test examples, which include a variable coefficient, inhomogeneous and hyperbolic-type equations, demons...

The fractional derivatives in the sense of Caputo, and the homotopy analysis method (HAM) are used to construct the approximate solutions for nonlinear fractional dispersive long wave equation with reaspect to time fractional derivative. The HAM contains a certain auxiliary parameter which provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region and rate of convergence of the ...

This paper presents a series of new results in modeling of the Grünwald-Letnikov discretetime fractional difference by means of discrete-time Laguerre filers. The introduced Laguerrebased difference LD and combined fractional/Laguerre-based difference CFLD are shown to perfectly approximate its fractional difference original, for fractional order α ∈ 0, 2 . This paper is culminated with the pre...

Abstract. We consider Hadamard fractional derivatives and integrals of variable fractional order. A new type of fractional operator, which we call the Hadamard–Marchaud fractional derivative, is also considered. The objective is to represent these operators as series of terms involving integer-order derivatives only, and then approximate the fractional operators by a finite sum. An upper bound ...

In this paper we give some background theory on the concept of fractional calculus, in particular the Riemann-Liouville operators. We then investigate the Taylor-Riemann series using Osler’s theorem and obtain certain double infinite series expansions of some elementary functions. In the process of this we give a proof of the convergence of an alternative form of Heaviside’s series. A Semi-Tayl...
