Grünwald-Letnikov Fractional Derivative Applied to First-Order Ordinary Differential Equations

First-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are widely used in various fields of science and engineering to model natural phenomena. This study proposes an extension of these equations using fractional derivatives, specifically the Grünwald-Letnikov definition, to explore their impact on the behavior of solution curves. The fractional ODE considered is discretized using the finite difference method and solved numerically for different values of the derivative order (α). Tests were conducted to verify mesh independence and the quality of the computational implementation of the method, through which the accuracy and the absence of implementation errors were confirmed. The behavior of the solution curves for different values of α was analyzed, revealing a sharp decrease near the initial point (t = 0) and an almost linear growth at higher values of t, within the considered domain. Additionally, in solving a specific initial value problem with a known analytical solution, it was discovered that the accuracy of the numerical solutions for higher values of α was more dependent on the mesh refinement than the solutions for lower values.

The results offer significant insights into the behavior and stability of solutions within this demanding mathematical framework.

Bernstein Polynomials for Solving Fractional Differential Equations with Two Parameters

This work presents a general framework for solving generalized fractional differential equations based on operational matrices of the generalized Bernstein polynomials. This method effectively obtains approximate analytical solutions of many fractional differential equations. The generalized fractional derivative of the Caputo type with two parameters and its properties are studied. Using orthonormal Bernstein polynomials has led to the development of fractional polynomials, which offer an approximate solution for ordinary fractional differential equations. The approach employs the generalized orthogonal Bernstein polynomials (FOBPs) and constructs their operational matrices for fractional integration and derivative in the generalized Caputo sense to achieve this objective. Operational matrices convert ordinary differential equations into a system of algebraic equations, which can be solved using Newton’s method. The convergence analysis and error estimate associated with the proposed problem have been investigated using the approximation of generalized orthogonal Bernstein polynomials (FOBPs). The effect of the new parameters of the fractional derivative is presented in several examples. Finally, several examples are included to clarify the proposed technique’s validity, efficiency, and applicability via generalized orthogonal Bernstein polynomials (FOBPs) approximation.

In this paper, the Lie symmetry analysis method is applied to the time-fractional Boussinesq–Burgers system which is used to describe shallow water waves near an ocean coast or in a lake. We obtain all the Lie symmetries admitted by the system and use them to reduce the fractional partial differential equations with a Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative to some fractional ordinary differential equations with an Erdélyi–Kober fractional derivative, thereby getting some exact solutions of the reduced equations. For power series solutions, we prove their convergence and show the dynamic analysis of their truncated graphs. In addition, the new conservation theorem and the generalization of Noether operators are developed to construct the conservation laws for the equations studied.

In this study, solutions of random complex partial differential equations were found using the two-dimensional Sumudu transformation method(STM). The initial conditions of a deterministic equation or the non-homogeneous part of the equation are transformed into random variables to obtain a random complex partial differential equation. With the help of the properties of two-dimensional Sumudu and inverse Sumudu transformation, an approximate analytical solution of a complex partial differential equation with random constant coefficients was obtained by selecting a random variable with an initial condition of Normal and Gamma distribution. The probability characteristics of the resulting solutions, such as expected value and variance, were obtained and graphically shown with the help of the Maple package program.

A new method is developed using a natural discretization of the proportional Caputo derivative and the decomposition method to decompose the non-linear operator f 1. The error and stability analyses for the proposed method are provided. Some illustrated examples are given to compare the solution curves graphically with the exact solution and to prove the utility and efficiency of the method. The proposed NPCM-PCDE is found to be efficient, easy to implement, convergent, and stable.

The L-RKHSM systematically produces both approximate and analytic solutions in series form. We present detailed results for four illustrative examples, showcasing the superior performance of the L-RKHSM over traditional methods. This innovative approach not only advances our understanding of nonlinear fractional ordinary differential equations but also demonstrates its effectiveness through significantly improved outcomes in various applications.

Using the Fourier method and an ordinary fractional differential equation with a non-local boundary condition, the inverse problem is reduced to an equivalent problem. Further by using the fixed point argument in suitable Sobolev spaces, the global theorems of existence and uniqueness for the solution of the inverse problem are obtained.

Exact Solutions for a Class of Variable Coefficients Fractional Differential Equations Using Mellin Transform and the Invariant Subspace Method

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a class of variable coefficients fractional ordinary differential equations (FODEs). Using Mellin transform (MT), we have transformed this class into a functional equation which can’t be solved in general. So, we have selected many special cases of this functional equation that can be solved exactly. After solving these special cases of the functional equation and using the inverse MT, we obtained some exact solutions for the proposed class. The obtained solutions are given in the form of $$H$$ H -function and the Wright function. The results, as special cases, contain some special forms given in the literature. Also, the invariant subspace method (ISM) is utilized for solving a class of nonlinear fractional diffusion equations with variable coefficients. The solutions of this class of nonlinear fractional diffusion equations depend upon the solutions of the proposed class of FODEs.

In this paper, we presented a new analytical method for one of the rapidly emerging branches of fractional calculus, the distributed order fractional differential equations (DFDE). Due to its significant applications in modeling complex physical systems, researchers have shown profound interest in developing various analytical and numerical methods to study DFDEs. With this motivation, we proposed an easy computational technique with the help of graph theoretic polynomials from algebraic graph theory for nonlinear distributed order fractional ordinary differential equations (NDFODE). In the method, we used clique polynomials of the cocktail party graph as an approximation solution. With operational integration and fractional differentiation in the Caputo sense, the NDFODEs transformed into a system of algebraic equations and then solved by Newton–Raphson's method to determine the unknowns in the Clique polynomial approximation. The proficiency of the proposed Clique polynomial collocation method (CCM) is illustrated with four numerical examples. The convergence and error analysis are discussed in tabular and graphical depictions by comparing the CCM results with the results of existing numerical methods.

In this paper, we present a fractional version of the Sakiadis flow described by a nonlinear two-point fractional boundary value problem on a semi-infinite interval, in terms of the Caputo derivative. We derive the fractional Sakiadis model by substituting, in the classical Prandtl boundary layer equations, the second derivative with a fractional-order derivative by the Caputo operator. By using the Lie symmetry analysis, we reduce the fractional partial differential equations to a fractional ordinary differential equation, and, then, a finite difference method on quasi-uniform grids, with a suitable variation of the classical L1 approximation formula for the Caputo fractional derivative, is proposed. Finally, highly accurate numerical solutions are reported.
