Firstly, the surveys for studies on boundary value problems for higher order ordinary differential equations and for higher order fractional differential equations are given. Secondly a simple review for studies on solvability of boundary value problems for impulsive fractional differential equations is presented. Thirdly we propose four classes of higher order linear fractional differential eq...

We introduce stable multi-domain spectral penalty methods suitable for solving fractional partial differential equations with fractional derivatives of any order. The fractional derivative is approximated in each sub domain using orthogonal polynomials and stability of the scheme is achieved through weakly imposed boundary and interface conditions by using a penalty term. We discuss accuracy an...

Existence and uniqueness of mild and classical solutions are discussed for an abstract second-order evolution problem. The nonlinearity contains a local term and a non-local term. The non-local term is an integral in the form of a convolution of a singular kernel and a regular function involving fractional derivatives. This term may be regarded also as a fractional integral of that regular func...

We introduce a discrete-time fractional calculus of variations on the time scale hZ, h > 0. First and second order necessary optimality conditions are established. Examples illustrating the use of the new Euler-Lagrange and Legendre type conditions are given. They show that solutions to the considered fractional problems become the classical discrete-time solutions when the fractional order of ...

Fractional derivatives are applied in the reconstruction, from a single observable, of the dynamics of a Duffing oscillator and a two-well experiment. The fractional derivatives of time series data are obtained in the frequency domain. The derivative fraction is evaluated using the average mutual information between the observable and its fractional derivative. The ability of this reconstructio...

This paper investigates the axial unsteady flow of a generalized Burgers’ fluid with fractional constitutive equation in a circular micro-tube, in presence of a time-dependent pressure gradient and an electric field parallel to flow direction and a magnetic field perpendicular on the flow direction. The mathematical model used in this work is based on a time-nonlocal constitutive equation for s...
