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 ...

Dedicated to Professor Rudolf Gorenflo on the occasion of his 80th anniversary In the paper, maximum principle for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equations including the multi-term diffusion equation and the diffusion equation of distributed order is formulated and discussed. In these equations, the time-fractional derivative is defined in the Caputo sense. In contrast to the Riemann...

In recent years, fractional reaction-diffusion models have been studied due to their usefulness and importance in many areas of mathematics, statistics, physics, and chemistry. In a fractional diffusion equation, the second derivative in the spatial variable is replaced by a fractional derivative. The resulting solutions spread faster than classical solutions and may exhibit asymmetry, dependin...

The previous work in [1], Tseng et al. have designed a fractional order differentiator using radial basis function by directly truncating the coefficients to approximate the fractional order derivative Dα of the given digital signal. This paper presents the designing of fractional order differentiator using radial basis function and window. Three design examples are given to illustrate that the...

In this paper, the space-time Riesz fractional partial differential equations with periodic conditions are considered. The equations are obtained from the integral partial differential equation by replacing the time derivative with a Caputo fractional derivative and the space derivative with Riesz potential. The fundamental solutions of the space Riesz fractional partial differential equation (...

The fractional Laplacian and the fractional derivative are two different mathematical concepts (Samko et al, 1987). Both are defined through a singular convolution integral, but the former is guaranteed to be the positive definition via the Riesz potential as the standard Laplace operator, while the latter via the Riemann-Liouville integral is not. It is noted that the fractional Laplacian can ...

The paper is concerned with existence of mild solution of evolution equation with Hilfer fractional derivative which generalized the famous Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. By noncompact measure method, we obtain some sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of mild solution. Our results are new and more general to known results. Nowadays, fractional calculus receives increasing at...

Fractional diffusion equations are useful for applications where a cloud of particles spreads faster than the classical equation predicts. In a fractional diffusion equation, the second derivative in the spatial variable is replaced by a fractional derivative of order less than two. The resulting solutions spread faster than the classical solutions and may exhibit asymmetry, depending on the fr...
