Nonlinear dynamics and forced vibrations of simply-supported fractional viscoelastic microbeams using a fractional differential quadrature method

In this paper, free and forced nonlinear vibrations of fractional viscoelastic microbeams are modeled based on Euler-Bernoulli theory, the Von Karman’s nonlinear strain relations, the modified couple stress theory (MCST), and the fractional Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model. In the present work, the nonlinear-fractional order governing equations are discretized in the space domain by Galerkin’s method. Two different approaches are introduced to solve the resulting nonlinear fractional-order Duffing equation in the time domain. In the first approach, a time marching fractional finite difference method is presented to compute the transient time response starting from the initial conditions. This approach is time consuming if the frequency-amplitude curves of steady state response are required since it provides just one point on the frequency-amplitude curve. More importantly, this approach usually converges only for the stable branch with smallest amplitude of frequency-amplitude curve. In the second approach, we introduce a novel fractional differential quadrature method (FDQM) to discretize the fractional Duffing equation and apply a pseudo-arc length algorithm to directly construct the frequency-amplitude curves. Effects of the fractional-order, linear and nonlinear viscoelasticity coefficients, viscous damping parameter, microstructure parameters, and the micro-beam thickness on the nonlinear dynamics of the viscoelastic micro-beam are analyzed numerically. Numerical results show that each of these parameters can change natural frequency and/or the damping behavior of the structure. The present model can be used for designing and analyzing the nonlinear microstructure viscoelastic beam under dynamic loads.

Explicit and approximate series solutions for nonlinear fractional wave-like differential equations with variable coefficients

This work investigates the exact and accurate approximate series solutions of the strongly nonlinear wave-like differential equations of fractional order with variable coefficients utilizing the Laplace residual power series technique in the 2D, and 3D-space. The posed model is a notable model in mathematical physics, engineering physics, and biophysics, to characterize the variations in laser light intensity, and fluid particle velocity distributions in turbulent flows. In the meaning of Caputo fractional derivative, the posed models are solved analytically via simulation of the generalized Taylor formula in the Laplace space. Different from the other analytic methods, an easy recurrence formula for finding the Laplace power series coefficients is derived. To validate the proposed approach, it is applied to three interesting problems. The approximate analytical solutions of studied fractional problems are expressed in fast-converging Caputo-fractional Maclaurin formulas. The results are numerically and graphically analyzed to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the technique, as well as to examine the effects of partial arrangement on the behavior of the solutions. Ultimately, the results and numerical simulations indicate that the used technique is an effective approach and accurate tool for solving fractional evolution models and other fractional models arising in nonlinear phenomena.

Approximate controllability for Hilfer fractional stochastic differential systems of order 1

In this paper, we analyse the approximate controllability of Hilfer fractional stochastic differential systems of order 1 < μ < 2 in Hilbert spaces. The primary findings are carried out by using fractional calculus, stochastic analysis theory, cosine family, and Schauder's fixed point theorem. In particular, we draw a new set of sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of Hilfer fractional stochastic differential equations of order 1 < μ < 2 under the assumption that the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable. In the end, an example is provided to illustrate the derived theory.

Subdiffusive processes in BWRs

The objective of this work is the analysis of subdiffusive processes in BWR reactors. Nuclear reactors are highly heterogeneous systems where the phenomena at the reactor scale are not possible to describe with constitutive standard laws (normal diffusion) of energy, momentum, and mass. However, there are methods to achieve it such as the volumetric average to upscale the reactor and incorporate up-scaled constitutive laws. However, it can also be proposed constitutive laws of fractional order to consider anomalous diffusion. For the neutronic processes, the neutron diffusion theory is non-appropriated to the reactor scale, because this theory is applied to the homogeneous reactor. Given the heterogeneity of these systems in describing the dynamic behaviour of BWRs with point models, it represents a challenge to the incorporation of the heterogeneous effects whose main characteristic is that the transport phenomena are subdiffusive with relaxation times (i.e., non-instantaneous) by nature. The point models called reducer-order models are important for stability analysis and to develop control strategies. In linear or nonlinear stability analysis and system control, they are carried out with reduced order models that are zero dimension, i.e., point models that depend exclusively on time. This is because existing methodologies propose mathematical expressions in the time or frequency domain for stability analysis or to establish control strategies. The challenge is for ROM models to be able to consider subdiffusive effects on neutron motion. This is achieved by various routes from the P1 theory that includes the temporal term with relaxation effects (relaxation time) or by proposing a more general constitutive equation of fractional order for the neutron current vector, as is presented in this work. Moreover, the Fractional Order Models behavior must be as a transport theory based model, as well as in those nuclear and thermohydraulic codes which are very useful but complex, for which is sometimes it is impossible to obtain analytical expressions. To incorporate these effects in this work we consider point models of fractional order, which represent the subdiffusive phenomenon when the fractional order (known as anomalous diffusion coefficient) is greater than 0 and less than 1.

Modern technique to study Cauchy-type problem of fractional variable order differential equations with infinite delay via phase space

In this paper, we use a novel approach to study the existence, uniqueness, and stability of solutions (EUSS) to a Cauchy-type problem of nonlinear fractional differential equations (FrDiEq) of variable order with infinite delay (CPNFDEVOID). Contrary to the techniques taken in the literature, which were centered on the usage of the concept of generalized intervals and the idea of piecewise constant functions, our approach is straightforward and based on a novel fractional operator that is more appropriate and demonstrates the solvability and stability of the main problem under less restrictive presumptions. The results are achieved in this paper by using Fixed Point Theory (FPT). The application, which includes an example and supporting images, concludes the paper.

Nonlinear fractional-order differential equations: New closed-form traveling-wave solutions

Abstract The fractional-order differential equations (FO-DEs) faithfully capture both physical and biological phenomena making them useful for describing nature. This work presents the stable and more effective closed-form traveling-wave solutions for the well-known nonlinear space–time fractional-order Burgers equation and Lonngren-wave equation with additional terms using the exp ( − Φ ( ξ ) ) (-\Phi (\xi )) expansion method. The main advantage of this method over other methods is that it provides more accuracy of the FO-DEs with less computational work. The fractional-order derivative operator is the Caputo sense. The transformation is used to reduce the space–time fractional differential equations (FDEs) into a standard ordinary differential equation. By putting the suggested strategy into practice, the new closed-form traveling-wave solutions for various values of parameters were obtained. The generated 3D graphical soliton wave solutions demonstrate the superiority and simplicity of the suggested method for the nonlinear space–time FDEs.

Efficient techniques for nonlinear dynamics: a study of fractional generalized quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation

In this research, we explore the solution of the fractional Generalized Quintic Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (GQCGLE) using the Controlled Picard Transform Method. We solve the equation by incorporating the Laplace transform (LT) and the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative (CF). The fractional GQCGLE is a complex-valued equation that exhibits intricate dynamics and plays a significant role in various physical phenomena, particularly in the realm of nonlinear optics. The suggested method can efficiently address a wide variety of differential equations, encompassing both integer and fractional-order equations. This is achieved by integrating an extra parameter that enhances convergence, making it especially suitable for non-linear differential equations. To confirm the precision and convergence of our approach, we validate it by comparing it with other methods, presenting graphical representations to clarify the effects of different parameters on the solution behaviour, and confirming its precision and convergence. The existence and uniqueness of the solutions are also examined.

A homotopy-based computational scheme for two-dimensional fractional cable equation

In this paper, we examine the time-dependent two-dimensional cable equation of fractional order in terms of the Caputo fractional derivative. This cable equation plays a vital role in diverse areas of electrophysiology and modeling neuronal dynamics. This paper conveys a precise semi-analytical method called the q-homotopy analysis transform method to solve the fractional cable equation. The proposed method is based on the conjunction of the q-homotopy analysis method and Laplace transform. We explained the uniqueness of the solution produced by the suggested method with the help of Banach’s fixed-point theory. The results obtained through the considered method are in the form of a series solution, and they converge rapidly. The obtained outcomes were in good agreement with the exact solution and are discussed through the 3D plots and graphs that express the physical representation of the considered equation. It shows that the proposed technique used here is reliable, well-organized and effective in analyzing the considered non-homogeneous fractional differential equations arising in various branches of science and engineering.

Liouville type theorems involving fractional order systems

Abstract In this paper, let α be any real number between 0 and 2, we study the following semi-linear elliptic system involving the fractional Laplacian: ( − Δ ) α / 2 u ( x ) = f ( u ( x ) , v ( x ) ) , x ∈ R n , ( − Δ ) α / 2 v ( x ) = g ( u ( x ) , v ( x ) ) , x ∈ R n . $\begin{cases}{\left(-{\Delta}\right)}^{\alpha /2}u\left(x\right)=f\left(u\left(x\right),v\left(x\right)\right), x\in {\mathbb{R}}^{n},\quad \hfill \\ {\left(-{\Delta}\right)}^{\alpha /2}v\left(x\right)=g\left(u\left(x\right),v\left(x\right)\right), x\in {\mathbb{R}}^{n}.\quad \hfill \end{cases}$ Under nature structure conditions on f and g, we classify the positive solutions for the semi-linear elliptic system involving the fractional Laplacian by using the direct method of the moving spheres introducing by W. Chen, Y. Li, and R. Zhang (“A direct method of moving spheres on fractional order equations,” J. Funct. Anal., vol. 272, pp. 4131–4157, 2017). In the half space, we establish a Liouville type theorem without any assumption of integrability by combining the direct method of moving planes and moving spheres, which improves the result proved by W. Dai, Z. Liu, and G. Lu (“Liouville type theorems for PDE and IE systems involving fractional Laplacian on a half space,” Potential Anal., vol. 46, pp. 569–588, 2017).

Solving Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations by Using Shehu Transform and Adomian Polynomials

The current article provides a detailed analysis of the solution of non-linear ordinary differential equations of fractional and non-fractional order in series forms using the Shehu transform (ST) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM), also known as the Shehu transform Adomian decomposition method (STADM). Previously, these methods were used to solve differential equations of integer order as well as a very small number of ordinary and fractional differential equations (FDEs). The Caputo's operator is used in a number of well-known FDEs, including the logistic equation, the Van der Pole equation, and other non-fractional order differential equations like the nonlinear Bratu type equation. It is noted that all of the example issues had series solutions thanks to STADM. Plotting the graph for several series terms of the series solution demonstrates how the approximate solution tends to the closed form solution. In some example problems the impact of α is shown.

In this study, the boundary value problem of fuzzy fractional nonlinear Volterra integro differential equations of order 1 < ϱ ≤ 2 is addressed. Fuzzy fractional derivatives are defined in the Caputo sense. To show the existence result, the Krasnoselkii theorem from the theory of fixed points is used, where as the well-known contraction mapping concept is utilized in order to show the solution is unique to the proposed problem. Moreover, a novel Adomian decomposition method is utilized to get numerical solution; the approach behind deriving the solution is from Adomian polynomials, and it is organized according to the recursive relation that is obtained.

Finally, using MATLAB, the symmetry between the lower and upper-cut representations of the fuzzy solutions is demonstrated in the numerical result.

Maximal regularity for fractional difference equations of order 2&lt;alpha&lt;3 on UMD spaces

In this article, we study the \(\ell^p\)-maximal regularity for the fractional difference equation $$ \Delta^{\alpha}u(n)=Tu(n)+f(n), \quad (n\in \mathbb{N}_0). $$ We introduce the notion of \(\alpha\)-resolvent sequence of bounded linear operators defined by the parameters \(T\) and \(\alpha\), which gives an explicit representation of the solution. Using Blunck's operator-valued Fourier multipliers theorems on \(\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}; X)\), we give a characterization of the \(\ell^p\)-maximal regularity for \(1 &lt; p &lt; \infty\) and \(X\) is a UMD space.

Fractional order system of integro-differential equations: theoretical and numerical simulations using Appell-type Changhee polynomials

We examine the behavior of the solutions for a fractional-order integro-differential equation (FIDE) system using an efficient simulation presented in this paper. The FIDEs are treated by a presumably novel approximation method based on Changhee polynomials of Appell type (ACPs). In this work, we use the method of spectral collocation (SCM), which is based on the advantages of ACPs. Using this technique on the given model, it generates an algebraic equation system. Through the evaluation of the residual error function (REF), we verify the efficiency of the approach that has been offered. To verify the effectiveness and originality of the suggested algorithm, the results are compared with the precise solutions. Our results show that the method employed provides a straightforward and efficient tool to simulate the solution for such models. The suggested method's primary benefits are that it only requires a few easy steps and doesn't generate secular terms.

This paper presents a new approach for solving fractional delay differential equations of variable order using the spectral element method. The proposed method overcomes the limitations of traditional spectral methods, such as poor approximation in long intervals and inefficiency in high degrees. By introducing a variable order differentiation matrix and using basic Lagrangian functions to approximate the solution in each element, the method achieves high accuracy and efficiency. A penalty method is also applied to minimize the jump of fluxes at interface points, and the effectiveness of this approach is analyzed. Finally, three benchmark problems are solved, and the convergence analysis demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method. In essence, this paper offers a significant contribution to the literature on fractional differential equations and their numerical solution methodologies.

We implement RPSM in such a way that this recurrence relation generates the results in the form of an iterative series. Two numerical applications are considered to demonstrate the efficiency and authenticity of this scheme. The obtained series are determined very quickly and converge to the exact solution only after a few iterations. Graphical plots and absolute error are shown to observe the authenticity of this suggested approach.

Moreover, using the Python software, we can numerically and graphically represent the solution of fractional differential equations.

Analytical Solution of Generalized Bratu-Type Fractional Differential Equations Using the Homotopy Perturbation Transform Method

In this study, we present the generalized form of the higher-order nonlinear fractional Bratu-type equation. In this generalization, we deal with a generalized fractional derivative, which is quite useful from an application point of view. Furthermore, some special cases of the generalized fractional Bratu equation are recognized and examined. To solve these nonlinear differential equations of fractional order, we employ the homotopy perturbation transform method. This work presents a useful computational method for solving these equations and advances our understanding of them. We also plot some numerical outcomes to show the efficiency of the obtained results.

Nonlinear acoustic equations of fractional higher order at the singular limit

When high-frequency sound waves travel through media with anomalous diffusion, such as biological tissues, their motion can be described by nonlinear acoustic equations of fractional higher order. In this work, we relate them to the classical second-order acoustic equations and, in this sense, justify them as their approximations for small relaxation times. To this end, we perform a singular limit analysis and determine their behavior as the relaxation time tends to zero. We show that, depending on the nonlinearities and assumptions on the data, these models can be seen as approximations of the Westervelt, Blackstock, or Kuznetsov wave equations in nonlinear acoustics. We furthermore establish the convergence rates and thus determine the error one makes when exchanging local and nonlocal models. The analysis rests upon the uniform bounds for the solutions of the acoustic equations with fractional higher-order derivatives, obtained through a testing procedure tailored to the coercivity property of the involved (weakly) singular memory kernel.

Schatten Index of the Sectorial Operator via the Real Component of Its Inverse

In this paper, we study spectral properties of non-self-adjoint operators with the discrete spectrum. The main challenge is to represent a complete description of belonging to the Schatten class through the properties of the Hermitian real component. The method of estimating the singular values is elaborated by virtue of the established asymptotic formulas. The latter fundamental result is advantageous since, of many theoretical statements based upon it, one of them is a concept on the root vectors series expansion, which leads to a wide spectrum of applications in the theory of evolution equations. In this regard, the evolution equations of fractional order with the sectorial operator in the term not containing the time variable are involved. The concrete well-known operators are considered and the advantage of the represented method is convexly shown.
