BACKGROUND In small-scale fishery, information provided by fishers has been useful to complement current and past lack of knowledge on species and environment. METHODOLOGY Through interviews, 82 fishers from the largest fishing communities on the north and south borders of a Brazilian northeastern coastal state provided estimates of the catch per unit effort (CPUE) and rank of species abundan...

this paper presents a computational method for solving two types of integro-differential equations, system of nonlinear high order volterra-fredholm integro-differential equation(vfides) and nonlinear fractional order integro-differential equations. our tools for this aims is operational matrices of integration and fractional integration. by this method the given problems reduce to solve a syst...

We study a Dirichlet boundary value problem for Langevin equation involving two fractional orders. Langevin equation has been widely used to describe the evolution of physical phenomena in fluctuating environments. However, ordinary Langevin equation does not provide the correct description of the dynamics for systems in complex media. In order to overcome this problem and describe dynamical pr...

Based on high order approximation of L-stable RungeKutta methods for the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives, several classes of high order fractional Runge-Kutta methods for solving nonlinear fractional differential equation are constructed. Consistency, convergence and stability analysis of the numerical methods are given. Numerical experiments show that the proposed methods are efficien...

Recently, the subject of fractional differential equations has emerged as an important area of investigation. Indeed, we can find numerous applications in viscoelasticity, electrochemistry, control, electromagnetic, porous media, and so forth. In consequence, the subject of fractional differential equations is gaining much importance and attention. For some recent developments on the subject, s...

We consider the fractional generalizations of Liouville equation. The normalization condition, phase volume, and average values are generalized for fractional case. The interpretation of fractional analog of phase space as a space with fractal dimension and as a space with fractional measure are discussed. The fractional analogs of the Hamiltonian systems are considered as a special class of no...

Fractional analysis is applied to describe classical dynamical systems. Fractional derivative can be defined as a fractional power of derivative. The infinitesimal generators {H, ·} and L = G(q, p)∂q + F (q, p)∂p, which are used in equations of motion, are derivative operators. We consider fractional derivatives on a set of classical observables as fractional powers of derivative operators. As ...

We propose a new approach for solving fractional partial differential equations based on a nonlinear fractional complex transformation and the general Riccati equation and apply it to solve the nonlinear time fractional biological population model and the (4+1)-dimensional space-time fractional Fokas equation. As a result, some new exact solutions for them are obtained.This approach can be suit...

We use the fractional integrals to describe fractal solid. We suggest to consider the fractal solid as special (fractional) continuous medium. We replace the fractal solid with fractal mass dimension by some continuous model that is described by fractional integrals. The fractional integrals are considered as approximation of the integrals on fractals. We derive fractional generalization of the...
