In this paper, we formulate a fractional thermal wave model for a bi-layered spherical tissue. Implicit finite difference method is employed to obtain the solution of the direct problem. The inverse analysis for simultaneously estimating the Caputo fractional derivative and the relaxation time parameters is implemented by means of the Levenberg–Marquardt method. Compared with the experimental d...

This paper presents the necessary optimality conditions of Euler–Lagrange type for variational problems with natural boundary conditions and problems with holonomic constraints where the fuzzy fractional derivative is described in the combined Caputo sense. The new results are illustrated by computing the extremals of two fuzzy variational problems. AMS subject classifications: 65D10, 92C45

The existence of a unique strong solution for the Cauchy problem to semilinear nondegenerate fractional differential equation and for the generalized Showalter–Sidorov problem to semilinear fractional differential equation with degenerate operator at the Caputo derivative in Banach spaces is proved. These results are used for search of solution existence conditions for a class of optimal contro...

Abstract The integral transform method based on joint application of a fractional generalization of the Fourier transform and the classical Laplace transform is applied for solving Cauchy-type problems for the time-space fractional diffusion-wave equations expressed in terms of the Caputo time-fractional derivative and the generalized Weyl space-fractional operator. The solutions, representing ...

In this paper we use the upper and lower solutions method to investigate the existence of solutions of a class of impulsive partial hyperbolic differential inclusions at fixed moments of impulse involving the Caputo fractional derivative. These results are obtained upon suitable fixed point theorems.

Recently, many scientists have studied a wide range of strategies for solving characteristic types symmetric differential equations, including fractional equations (FDEs). In our manuscript, we obtained sufficient conditions to prove the existence and uniqueness solutions (EUS) FDEs in sense ψ-Caputo derivative (ψ-CFD) second-order 1<α<2. We know that ψ-CFD is generalization previously fa...

We present the validation of a recent fractional mathematical model for erythrocyte sedimentation proposed by Sharma et al. \cite{GMR}. The model uses a Caputo fractional derivative to build a time fractional diffusion equation suitable to predict blood sedimentation rates. This validation was carried out by means of erythrocyte sedimentation tests in laboratory. Data on sedimentation rates (pe...

We study the fractional diffusion in a Gaussian noisy environment as described by the fractional order stochastic heat equations of the following form: D t u(t, x) = Bu + u · Ẇ , where D t is the Caputo fractional derivative of order α ∈ (0, 1) with respect to the time variable t, B is a second order elliptic operator with respect to the space variable x ∈ R and Ẇ a time homogeneous fractional ...

The Weierstrass–Kronecker theorem on the decomposition of the regular pencil is extended to fractional descriptor continuous-time linear systems described by the Caputo–Fabrizio derivative. A method for computing solutions of continuous-time systems is presented. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity and stability of these systems are established. The discussion is illustrated ...
