Abundant wave solutions of conformable space-time fractional order Fokas wave model arising in physical sciences

Fractional order has the characteristics of memory and non-locality and it is different with integer order. Therefore, fractional differential equations can be used to describe some abnormal natural phenomena. At the same time, how to solve the fractional order partial differential equation and differential equations with fractional order has become a very important research field. Besides analytic solution, it is also important to investigate the numerical methods for fractional differential equations. In the paper, fundamental solution of the time fractional partial differential equation has been deduced, which is derived by Furrier transform and Laplace transform. According to the simulation, there is little difference between numerical solution and the exact solution when the solution is the time variable function. The results show the validity of the method.

New applications of the fractional derivative to extract abundant soliton solutions of the fractional order PDEs in mathematics physics

In recent years many physical phenomenons have been successfully modelled using fractional partial differential equations such as in electromagnetics and material sciences. Fractional partial differential equations involve derivative of noninteger order. Many researchers attempted to solve various types of fractional differential equations using various methods. In this paper, the conformable fractional derivative definition introduced by Khalil et.al [4] is used. The fractional derivative using this definition satisfies many properties that the usual derivative has. By applying some similar arguments on Fourier transform for solving partial differential equations, some modifications on the Fourier transform are constructed to handle the fractional order in a fractional differential equation. The modified Fourier transform which is developed satisfies similar properties with the Fourier transform in the classical sense. The application of the method to solve a fractional differential equation is given as an example.

This book aims to establish a foundation for fractional derivatives and fractional differential equations. The theory of fractional derivatives enables considering any positive order of differentiation. The history of research in this field is very long, with its origins dating back to Leibniz. Since then, many great mathematicians, such as Abel, have made contributions that cover not only theoretical aspects but also physical applications of fractional calculus. The fractional partial differential equations govern phenomena depending both on spatial and time variables and require more subtle treatments. Moreover, fractional partial differential equations are highly demanded model equations for solving real-world problems such as the anomalous diffusion in heterogeneous media. The studies of fractional partial differential equations have continued to expand explosively. However we observe that available mathematical theory for fractional partial differential equations is not still complete. In particular, operator-theoretical approaches are indispensable for some generalized categories of solutions such as weak solutions, but feasible operator-theoretic foundations for wide applications are not available in monographs. To make this monograph more readable, we are restricting it to a few fundamental types of time-fractional partial differential equations, forgoing many other important and exciting topics such as stability for nonlinear problems. However, we believe that this book works well as an introduction to mathematical research in such vast fields.

In this paper, we propose a new fractional sub-equation method for finding exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative, which is the fractional version of the known (G′/G) method. To illustrate the validity of this method, we apply it to the space-time fractional Fokas equation, the space-time fractional -dimensional dispersive long wave equations and the space-time fractional fifth-order Sawada-Kotera equation. As a result, some new exact solutions for them are successfully established. MSC:35Q51, 35Q53.

The work in this paper is four-fold. Firstly, we introduce an alternative approach to solve fractional ordinary differential equations as an expected value of a random time process. Using the latter, we present an interesting numerical approach based on Monte Carlo integration to simulate solutions of fractional ordinary and partial differential equations. Thirdly, we show that this approach allows us to find the fundamental solutions for fractional partial differential equations (PDEs), in which the fractional derivative in time is in the Caputo sense and the fractional in space one is in the Riesz–Feller sense. Lastly, using Riccati equation, we study families of fractional PDEs with variable coefficients which allow explicit solutions. Those solutions connect Lie symmetries to fractional PDEs.

The resolution of the reduced fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation obtained from the model describing the wave propagation in the left-handed nonlinear transmission line presented by Djidere et al recently, allowed us in this work through the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) to highlight the behavior and to study the propagation process of the dark and bright soliton solutions with the effect of the fractional derivative order as well as the Modulation Instability gain spectrum (MI) in the LHNLTL. By inserting fractional derivatives in the sense of Caputo and in order to structure the approximate soliton solutions of the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation reduced, ADM is used. The pipe is obtained from the bright and dark soliton by the fractional derivatives order. By the bias of MI gain spectrum the instability zones occur when the value of the fractional derivative order tends to 1. Furthermore, when the fractional derivative order takes small values, stability zones appear. These results could bring new perspectives in the study of solitary waves in left-handed metamaterials as the memory effect could have a better future for the propagation of modulated waves because in this paper the stabilization of zones of the dark and bright solitons which could be described by a fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with small values of fractional derivatives order has been revealed. In addition, the obtained significant results are new and could find applications in many research areas such as in the field of information and communication technologies.

Fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) with a time derivative of fractional order are used to describe wave motion in complex viscoelastic media with non-traditional equations of motion. Kappler et al. [Phys. Rev. Fluids 2, 114804 (2017)] derived a fractional diffusion-wave equation for a nonlinear Lucassen wave propagating along an elastic layer coupled to a viscous substrate. The fractional time derivative of order 3/2 in the linear form of this equation lies midway between order 1 for a diffusion process described by a parabolic equation, and order 2 for the traditional hyperbolic wave equation. The inclusion of nonlinear elasticity tends to inhibit purely progressive wave motion that is associated with classical nonlinear plane waves in fluids and solids, and which is described accurately by parabolic-like, Burgers-type evolution equations. In this work, a general FPDE is analyzed in a parameter space consisting of varying nonlinearity and time fractional orders. The focus is on conditions under which the FPDE can be modeled accurately with a Burgers-type evolution equation for progressive wave motion. The method of lines in combination with a general Runge-Kutta method for forward integration is used for numerical analysis. [B.E.S. is supported by the ARL:UT McKinney Fellowship in Acoustics.]

The fractional partial differential equation is an equation with non-integer partial derivative which is now widely used in solving various problems so that in recent years, many researchers are interested to study fractional partial differential equation. The equation which is used in this paper is the non-homogeneous fractional partial differential equation. The aim of this study is to determine general solution of the partial differential equation through three different order equations (α; 1), (β; 2) and (α; β), where 0 < α ≤ 2 and 0 < β ≤ 1 by using Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). Furthermore, by taking a convergent sequence, it will be analyzed that the convergence of the sequence of differential equations results in the sequence of solutions of partial fractional non-homogeneous partial differential equations converging to the solution function of the fractional partial differential equation.

In general, solving fractional partial differential equations either numerically or analytically is a difficult task. However, mathematicians have tried their best to make the task easy and promoted various techniques for their solutions. In this regard, a very prominent and accurate technique, which is known as the new technique of the Adomian decomposition method, is developed and presented for the solution of the initial-boundary value problem of the diffusion equation with fractional view analysis. The suggested model is an important mathematical model to study the behavior of degrees of memory in diffusing materials. Some important results for the given model at different fractional orders of the derivatives are achieved. Graphs show the obtained results to confirm the accuracy and validity of the suggested technique. These results are in good contact with the physical dynamics of the targeted problems. The obtained results for both fractional and integer orders problems are explained through graphs and tables. Tables and graphs support the physical behavior of each problem and the best of physical analysis. From the results, it is concluded that as the fractional order derivative is changed, the graphs or paths of dynamics are also changed. Therefore, we now choose the best solution or dynamic of the problem at a particular derivative order. It is analyzed that the present technique is one of the best techniques to handle the solutions of fractional partial differential equations having initial and boundary conditions (BCs), which are very rare in literature. Furthermore, a small number of calculations are done to achieve a very high rate of convergence, which is the novelty of the present research work. The proposed method provides the series solution with twice recursive formulae to increase the desired accuracy and is preferred among the best techniques to find the solution of fractional partial differential equations with mixed initials and BCs.

(N+1)-dimensional fractional reduced differential transform method for fractional order partial differential equations

We devote ourselves to finding exact solutions (including perturbed soliton solutions) to a class of semi-linear Schrödinger equations incorporating Kudryashov’s self-phase modulation subject to stochastic perturbations described by multiplicative white noise based on Stratonvich’s calculus. By borrowing ideas of the sub-equation method and utilizing a series of changes of variables, we transform the problem of identifying exact solutions into the task of analyzing the dynamical behaviors of an auxiliary planar Hamiltonian dynamical system. We determine the equilibrium points of the introduced auxiliary Hamiltonian system and analyze their Lyapunov stability. Additionally, we conduct a brief bifurcation analysis and a preliminary chaos analysis of the auxiliary Hamiltonian system, assessing their impact on the Lyapunov stability. Based on the insights gained from investigating the dynamics of the introduced auxiliary Hamiltonian system, we discover ‘all’ of the exact solutions to the stochastic semi-linear Schrödinger equations under consideration. We obtain explicit formulas for exact solutions by examining the phase portrait of the introduced auxiliary Hamiltonian system. The obtained exact solutions include singular and periodic solutions, as well as perturbed bright and dark solitons. For each type of obtained exact solution, we pick one representative to plot its graph, so as to visually display our theoretical results. Compared with other methods for finding exact solutions to deterministic or stochastic partial differential equations, the dynamical system approach has the merit of yielding all possible exact solutions. The stochastic semi-linear Schrödinger equation under consideration can be used to portray the propagation of pulses in an optical fiber, so our study therefore lays the foundation for discovering new solitons optimized for optical communication and contributes to the improvement of optical technologies.

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to extend the differential quadrature method (DQM) for solving time and space fractional non-linear partial differential equations on a semi-infinite domain.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed method is the combination of the Legendre polynomials and differential quadrature method. The authors derived and constructed the new operational matrices for the fractional derivatives, which are used for the solutions of non-linear time and space fractional partial differential equations.FindingsThe fractional derivative of Lagrange polynomial is a big hurdle in classical DQM. To overcome this problem, the authors represent the Lagrange polynomial in terms of shifted Legendre polynomial. They construct a transformation matrix which transforms the Lagrange polynomial into shifted Legendre polynomial of arbitrary order. Then, they obtain the new weighting coefficients matrices for space fractional derivatives by shifted Legendre polynomials and use these in conversion of a non-linear fractional partial differential equation into a system of fractional ordinary differential equations. Convergence analysis for the proposed method is also discussed.Originality/valueMany engineers can use the presented method for solving their time and space fractional non-linear partial differential equation models. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the differential quadrature method has never been extended or implemented for non-linear time and space fractional partial differential equations.

Fractional calculus with symmetric kernels is a fast-growing field of mathematics with many applications in all branches of science and engineering, notably electromagnetic, biology, optics, viscoelasticity, fluid mechanics, electrochemistry, and signals processing. With the use of the Sardar sub-equation and the Bernoulli sub-ODE methods, new trigonometric and hyperbolic solutions to the time-fractional Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–Sawada–Kotera equation have been constructed in this paper. Notably, the definition of our fractional derivative is based on the Jumarie’s modified Riemann–Liouville derivative, which offers a strong basis for our mathematical explorations. This equation is widely utilized to report a variety of fascinating physical events in the domains of classical mechanics, plasma physics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and acoustics. It is presumed that the acquired outcomes have not been documented in earlier research. Numerous standard wave profiles, such as kink, smooth bell-shaped and anti-bell-shaped soliton, W-shaped, M-shaped, multi-wave, periodic, bright singular and dark singular soliton, and combined dark and bright soliton, are illustrated in order to thoroughly analyze the wave nature of the solutions. Painlevé analysis of the proposed study is also part of this work. To illustrate how the fractional derivative affects the precise solutions of the equation via 2D and 3D plots.
