Objective: This study uses a flexible nonlinear approach, Fractional polynomial models (FPs), to examine the association between obesity and C-reactive protein to select the best fitted model within 44 potentially FP models. Methods: Data for 5 years (2001-2010) of the National Health Interview Survey (NHANES) was used. All respondents aged between 17 and 74 were included in the analysis. CRP w...

in this manuscript a new method is introduced for solving fractional differential equations. the fractional derivative is described in the caputo sense. the main idea is to use fractional-order legendre wavelets and operational matrix of fractional-order integration. first the fractional-order legendre wavelets (flws) are presented. then a family of piecewise functions is proposed, based on whi...

Based on recent studies by Guy Jumarie [1] which defines probability density of fractional order and fractional moments by using fractional calculus (fractional derivatives and fractional integration), this study expands the concept of probability density of fractional order by defining the fractional probability measure, which leads to a fractional probability theory parallel to the classical ...

in this paper an approximate analytical solution of the fractional zakharov-kuznetsov equations will be obtained with the help of the reduced differential transform method (rdtm). it is in-dicated that the solutions obtained by the rdtm are reliable and present an effective method for strongly nonlinear fractional partial differential equations.

approximating the solution of differential equations of fractional order is necessary because fractional differential equations have extensively been used in physics, chemistry as well as engineering fields. in this paper with central difference approximation and newton cots integration formula, we have found approximate solution for a class of boundary value problems of fractional order. three...
