We suggest a better mathematical method, fractional calculus, for studying the behavior of the atom-field interaction in photonic crystals. By studying the spontaneous emission of an atom in a photonic crystal with a one-band isotropic model, we found that the long-time inducing memory of the spontaneous emission is a fractional phenomenon. This behavior could be well described by fractional ca...

The aim of this paper is to design a Fractional Order Sliding Mode Controllers (FOSMC)for a class of DC-DC converters such as boost and buck converters. Firstly, the control lawis designed with respect to the properties of fractional calculus, the design yields an equiv-alent control term with an addition of discontinuous (attractive) control law. Secondly, themathematical proof of the stabilit...

This report is aimed at the engineering and/or scientific professional who wishes to learn about Fractional Calculus and its possible applications in his/her field(s) of study. The intent is to first expose the reader to the concepts, applicable definitions, and execution of fractional calculus (including a discussion of notation, operators, and fractional order differential equations), and sec...

In recent years, many works on the subject of fractional calculus contain interesting accounts of the theory and applications of fractional calculus operators in a number of areas of mathematical analysis ( such as ordinary and partial differential equations, integral equations, summation of series, etc.). The main object of this paper is to construct multivariable extension of Jacobi polynomia...

There are many functions which are continuous everywhere but non-differentiable at someor all points such functions are termed as unreachable functions. Graphs representing suchunreachable functions are called unreachable graphs. For example ECG is such an unreachable graph. Classical calculus fails in their characterization as derivatives do not exist at the unreachable points. Such unreachabl...
