In this paper, we propose a numerical method to estimate the unknown order of a Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative for a fractional Stokes’ first problem for a heated generalized second grade fluid. The implicit numerical method is employed to solve the direct problem. For the inverse problem, we first obtain the fractional sensitivity equation by means of the digamma function, and then we...

We observed the characteristics of white matter fibers and gray matter in multiple sclerosis patients, to identify changes in diffusion tensor imaging fractional anisotropy values following white matter fiber injury. We analyzed the correlation between fractional anisotropy values and changes in whole-brain gray matter volume. The participants included 20 patients with relapsing-remitting multi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion tensor metrics are potential in vivo quantitative neuroimaging biomarkers for the characterization of brain tumor subtype. This meta-analysis analyzes the ability of mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy to distinguish low-grade from high-grade gliomas in the identifiable tumor core and the region of peripheral edema. MATERIALS AND METHODS A meta-analysis...

In this work, the fractional mathematical model of an unsteady rotational flow of Xanthan gum (XG) between two cylinders in the presence of a transverse magnetic field has been studied. This model consists of two fractional parameters α and β representing thermomechanical effects. The Laplace transform is used to obtain the numerical solutions. The fractional parameter influence has been discus...

Epoxy containing 5.5 vol.% short carbon fibers was found to be piezoresistive strain sensor, such that the magnitude of the reversible fractional increase in electrical resistance per unit strain was 6-23 under tension and 29-31 under compression. These values are much higher than those of previously reporied composite piezoresistive materials. The reversible fractional increase in resistance w...

Anomalous transport in a tilted periodic potential is investigated numerically within the framework of the fractional Fokker-Planck dynamics via the underlying continuous-time random walk. An efficient numerical algorithm is developed which is applicable for an arbitrary potential. This algorithm is then applied to investigate the fractional current and the corresponding nonlinear mobility in d...

The mathematical model of the distribution of deformation-relaxation and heat-mass fields in capillary-porous materials with fractal structure in the process of drying wood is regarded in the article. We used differential equations in partial derivatives of fractional order in description of this model. To describe the creep of wood fractional exponential Rabotnov’s function was used. The numer...

Numerical methods are used to find exact solution for the nonlinear differential equations. In the last decades Iterative methods have been used for solving fractional differential equations. In this paper, the Homotopy perturbation method has been successively applied for finding approximate analytical solutions of the fractional nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation can be used as numerical algorit...
