New Ideas

SummaryAn account is given of Professor Marcel Riesz's generalisation of the Riemann-Liouville integral of fractional order. It is shown that the new ideas introduced by Riesz may prove valuable in the theory of partial differential equations and in the theory of the wave-equation in momentum space.

Localized Waves

We introduce a method for constructing solutions of homogeneous partial differential equations. This method can be used to construct the usual, well-known, separable solutions of the wave equation, but it also easily gives the non-separable localized wave solutions. These solutions exhibit a degree of focusing about the propagation axis that is dependent on a free parameter, and have many important potential applications. The method is based on constructing the space-time Fourier transform of a function so that it satisfies the transformed partial differential equation. We also apply the method to construct localized wave solutions of the wave equation in a lossy infinite medium, and of the Klein-Gordon equation. The localized wave solutions of these three equations differ somewhat, and we discuss these differences. A discussion of the properties of the localized waves, and of experiments to launch them, is included in the Appendix.

Abstract This paper considers two categories of fractional-order population growth models, where a time component is defined by Riemann–Liouville derivatives. These models are studied under the Lie symmetry approach, and we reduce the fractional partial differential equations to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Subsequently, solutions of the latter are determined numerically or with the aid of Laplace transforms. Graphical representations for integral and trigonometric solutions are presented. A key feature of these models is the connection between spatial patterning of organisms versus competitive coexistence.

Established Technique

We develop a numerical method by using operational matrices of fractional order integrations and differentiations to obtain approximate solutions to a class of coupled systems of fractional order partial differential equations (FPDEs). We use shifted Legendre polynomials in two variables. With the help of the aforesaid matrices, we convert the system under consideration to a system of easily solvable algebraic equation of Sylvester type. During this process, we need no discretization of the data. We also provide error analysis and some test problems to demonstrate the established technique.
