This paper introduces techniques for the estimation of solutions to fractional order differential equations (FODEs) and the approximation of a function’s Caputo fractional derivative. These techniques are based on scattered data interpolation via reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs). Specifically, an RKHS is generated for the purpose of estimating fractional derivatives from the Mittag-Lef...

This paper addresses the problem of the numerical computation of generalized Mittag–Leffler functions with two parameters, with applications in fractional calculus. The inversion of their Laplace transform is an effective tool in this direction; however, the choice of the integration contour is crucial. Here parabolic contours are investigated and combined with quadrature rules for the numerica...

The authors investigate the solution of a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation connected with nonlinear waves. The equation discussed is more general than the one discussed recently by Manne, Hurd, and Kenkre (2000). The results are presented in a compact and elegant form in terms of Mittag-Leffler functions and generalized Mittag-Leffler functions, which are suitable for numerical computation...

After sketching the basic principles of renewal theory we discuss the classical Poisson process and offer two other processes, namely the renewal process of Mittag-Leffler type and the renewal process of Wright type, so named by us because special functions of Mittag-Leffler and of Wright type appear in the definition of the relevant waiting times. We compare these three processes with each oth...

In this article, we propose the definition of one parameter matrix Mittag-Leffler functions of fractional nabla calculus and present three different algorithms to construct them. Examples are provided to illustrate the applicability of suggested algorithms.

In this communique, we present a new family of Nussbaum functions expressed by Mittag–Leffler functions under certain conditions. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Mittag-Leffler (ML) function plays a fundamental role in fractional calculus but very few methods are available for its numerical evaluation. In this work we present a method for the efficient computation of the ML function based on the numerical inversion of its Laplace transform (LT): an optimal parabolic contour is selected on the basis of the distance and the strength of the singulariti...

In this paper, we show several Turán type inequalities for a generalized Mittag-Leffler function with four parameters via the [Formula: see text]-gamma function.
