From the available literature, the allometric scaling laws generally exist in biology, ecology, etc. These scaling laws obey power law distributions. A possibly better approach to characterize the power law is to utilize fractional derivatives. In this paper, we establish a fractional differential equation model for this allometry by using the Caputo fractional derivatives.

The absorption of compressional and shear waves in many viscoelastic solids has been experimentally shown to follow a frequency power law. It is now well established that this type of loss behavior can be modeled using fractional derivatives. However, previous fractional constitutive equations for viscoelastic media are based on temporal fractional derivatives. These operators are non-local in ...

In this paper, we tried to evaluate the fractional derivatives by using the Chebyshev series expansion. We discuss the indefinite quadrature rule to estimate the fractional derivatives of Riemann-Liouville type.

Fractional calculus has recently attracted much attention in the literature. In particular, fractional derivatives are widely discussed and applied in many areas. However, it is still hard to develop numerical methods for fractional calculus. In this paper, based on Fourier series and Taylor series technique, we provide some numerical methods for computing and simulating fractional derivatives ...

In this paper, we derive a novel numerical method to find out the numerical solution of fractional partial differential equations (PDEs) involving Caputo-Fabrizio (C-F) fractional derivatives. We first find out the approximation formula of C-F derivative of function tk. We approximate the C-F derivative in time with the help of the Legendre spectral method and approximation formula o...

In this paper, the solution to Fuzzy sequential Fractional Initial Value Problem [FFIVP] under Caputo type fuzzy fractional derivatives by a modified fractional Euler method is presented. The Caputo-type fuzzy fractional derivatives are defined based on Hukuhara difference and strongly generalized fuzzy differentiability. The modified fractional Euler method based on a generalized Taylors formu...

In this paper, some theorems of the classical power series are generalized for the fractional power series. Some of these theorems are constructed by using Caputo fractional derivatives. Under some constraints, we proved that the Caputo fractional derivative can be expressed in terms of the ordinary derivative. New construction of the generalized Taylor’s power series is obtained. Some applicat...

Abstract The fractional wave equation is presented as a generalization of the wave equation when arbitrary fractional order derivatives are involved. We have considered variable dielectric environments for the wave propagation phenomena. The Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville derivative has been introduced and the solutions of the fractional Riccati differential equation have been applied to ...
