There is a debate among contemporary mathematicians about what it really means by a fractional derivative. The question arose as a consequence of introducing a ‘new’ definition of a fractional derivative. In a reply Ortigueira and Machado [1] came up with several very important criteria to determine whether a given derivative is a fractional derivative. According to their criterion, the new fra...

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...

The aim of this paper is to extend the split-step idea for the solution of fractional partial differential equations. We consider the multidimensional nonlinear Schr"{o}dinger equation with the Riesz space fractional derivative and propose an efficient numerical algorithm to obtain it's approximate solutions. To this end, we first discretize the Riesz fractional derivative then apply the Crank-...

This paper address a new vision for the generalized Mittag-Leffler stability of the fractional differential equations. We mainly focus on a new method, consisting of decomposing a given fractional differential equation into a cascade of many sub-fractional differential equations. And we propose a procedure for analyzing the generalized Mittag-Leffler stability for the given fractional different...

In this article a modification of the Chebyshev collocation method is applied to the solution of space fractional differential equations.The fractional derivative is considered in the Caputo sense.The finite difference scheme and Chebyshev collocation method are used .The numerical results obtained by this way have been compared with other methods.The results show the reliability and efficiency...

‎In this article‎, we use a finite difference technique‎ ‎to solve variable-order fractional integro-differential equations‎ ‎(VOFIDEs‎, ‎for short)‎. ‎In these equations‎, ‎the variable-order fractional integration(VOFI) and‎ ‎variable-order fractional derivative (VOFD) are described in the‎ ‎Riemann-Liouville's and Caputo's sense,respectively‎. ‎Numerical experiments‎, ‎consisting of two exam...

A Fractional Order (FO) ProportionalIntegralDerivative (PID) controller has been proposed in this paper which works on the closed loop error and its fractional derivative and fractional integrator. FOPID is a PID controller whose derivative and integral orders are of fractional rather than integer. The extension of derivative and integral order from integer to fractional order provides more fle...

In this paper we present in one-dimensional space a numerical solution of a partial differential equation of fractional order. This equation describes a process of anomalous diffusion. The process arises from the interactions within the complex and non-homogeneous background. We presented a numerical method which bases on the finite differences method. We considered pure initial and boundaryini...
