In this paper, new estimates of the sequential Caputo fractional derivatives a function at its extremum points are obtained.We derive comparison principles for linear differential equations, then apply these to obtain lower and upper bounds solutions nonlinear equations. The principle is applied show that initial-boundary-value problem anomalous diffusion admits most one classical solution depe...

Zolotarev proved a duality result that relates stable densities with different indices. In this paper, we show how Zolotarev duality leads to some interesting results on fractional diffusion. Fractional diffusion equations employ fractional derivatives in place of the usual integer order derivatives. They govern scaling limits of random walk models, with power law jumps leading to fractional de...

The space-time fractional Zener wave equation, describing viscoelastic materials obeying the time-fractional Zener model and the space-fractional strain measure, is derived and analysed. This model includes waves with finite speed, as well as non-propagating disturbances. The existence and the uniqueness of the solution to the generalized Cauchy problem are proved. Special cases are investigate...

Although many mathematicians have searched on the fractional calculus since many years ago, but its application in engineering, especially in modeling and control, does not have many antecedents. Since there are much freedom in choosing the order of differentiator and integrator in fractional calculus, it is possible to model the physical systems accurately. This paper deals with time-domain id...

Well-posed space-time variational formulations in fractional order Bochner–Sobolev spaces are proposed for parabolic partial differential equations, and in particular for the instationary Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations on bounded Lipschitz domains. The latter formulations include the pressure variable as a primal unknown and so account for the incompressibility constraint via a Lagrange mul...

In this work, we use the generalized exponential function in the fractional-order domain to define generalized cosine and sine functions. We then re-visit some important trigonometric identities and generalize them from the narrow integer-order subset to the more general fractional-order domain. It is clearly shown that trigonometric functions and trigonometric identities in the transient-time ...
