Generalized constitutive relationships for viscoelastic materials are suggested in which the customary time derivatives of integer order are replaced by derivatives of fractional order. To this point, the justification for such models has resided in the fact that they are effective in describing the behavior of real materials. In this work, the fractional derivative is shown to arise naturally in the description of certain motions of a Newtonian fluid. We claim this provides some justification for the use of ad hoc relationships which include the fractional derivative. An application of such a constitutive relationship to the prediction of the transient response of a frequency-dependent material is included.

Several fractional-order operators are available and an in-depth knowledge of the selected operator is necessary for the evaluation of fractional integrals and derivatives of even simple functions. In this paper, we reviewed some of the most commonly used operators and illustrated two approaches to generalize integer-order derivatives to fractional order; the aim was to provide a tool for a full understanding of the specific features of each fractional derivative and to better highlight their differences. We hence provided a guide to the evaluation of fractional integrals and derivatives of some elementary functions and studied the action of different derivatives on the same function. In particular, we observed how Riemann–Liouville and Caputo’s derivatives converge, on long times, to the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative which appears as an ideal generalization of standard integer-order derivatives although not always useful for practical applications.

We prove that main properties represented by Eq. (4.2) for fractional derivative of power function and the non-fractional Leibniz rule in the form (4.3) of the considered paper, cannot hold together for derivatives of non-integer order. As a result, we prove that the usual Leibniz rule (4.3) cannot hold for fractional derivatives.

This paper compares the performance of Legendre wavelets (LWs) with integer and noninteger orders for solving fractional nonlinear Fredholm integro-differential equations (FNFIDEs). The generalized fractional-order Legendre wavelets (FLWs) are formulated and the operational matrix of fractional derivative in the Caputo sense is obtained. Based on the FLWs, the operational matrix and the Tau method an efficient algorithm is developed for FNFIDEs. The FLWs basis leads to more efficient and accurate solutions of the FNFIDE than the integer-order Legendre wavelets. Numerical examples confirm the superior accuracy of the proposed method.

We propose a fractional model for computer virus propagation. The model includes the interaction between computers and removable devices. We simulate numerically the model for distinct values of the order of the fractional derivative and for two sets of initial conditions adopted in the literature. We conclude that fractional order systems reveal richer dynamics than the classical integer order counterpart. Therefore, fractional dynamics leads to time responses with super-fast transients and super-slow evolutions towards the steady-state, effects not easily captured by the integer order models.

We developed a somewhat novel fractional-order calculus workbench as a certain generalization of the Khalil’s conformable derivative. Although every integer-order derivate can naturally be consistent with fully physical-sense problem’s quotation, this is not the standard scenario of the non-integer-order derivatives, even aiming physics systems’s modelling, solely.We revisited a particular case of the generalized conformable fractional derivative and derived a differential operator, whose properties overcome those of the integer-order derivatives, though preserving its clue advantages.Worthwhile noting, that two-fractional indexes differential operator we are dealing, departs from the single-fractional index framework, which typifies the generalized conformable fractional derivative. This distinction leads to proper mathematical tools, useful in generalizing widely accepted results, with potential applications to fundamental Physics within fractional order calculus. The later seems to be especially appropriate for exercising the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem, as well as the Euler-Lagrange equation and to clarify several operator algebra matters.

The dynamic behaviour of an Euler–Bernoulli beam resting on the fractionally damped viscoelastic foundation subjected to a moving point load is investigated. The fractional-order derivative-based Kelvin–Voigt model describes the rheological properties of the viscoelastic foundation. The Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative model is applied for a fractional derivative order. The modal superposition method and Triangular strip matrix approach are applied to solve the fractional differential equation of motion. The dependence of the modal convergence on the system parameters is studied. The influences of (a) the fractional order of derivative, (b) the speed of the moving point load and (c) the foundation parameters on the dynamic response of the system are studied and conclusions are drawn. The damping of the beam-foundation system increases with increasing the order of derivative, leading to a decrease in the dynamic amplification factor. The results are compared with those using the classical integer-order derivative-based foundation model. The classical foundation model over-predicts the damping and under-predicts the dynamic deflections and stresses. The results of the classical (integer-order) foundation model are verified with literature.

AbstractA new geometric interpretation of the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivatives of non-integer orders is proposed. The suggested geometric interpretation of the fractional derivatives is based on modern differential geometry and the geometry of jet bundles. We formulate a geometric interpretation of the fractional-order derivatives by using the concept of the infinite jets of functions. For this interpretation, we use a representation of the fractional-order derivatives by infinite series with integer-order derivatives. We demonstrate that the derivatives of non-integer orders connected with infinite jets of special type. The suggested infinite jets are considered as a reconstruction from standard jets with respect to order.

In this article, we presented an efficient local meshless method for the numerical treatment of two term time fractional-order multi-dimensional diffusion PDE. The demand of meshless techniques increment because of its meshless nature and simplicity of usage in higher dimensions. This technique approximates the solu?tion on set of uniform and scattered nodes. The space derivatives of the models are discretized by the proposed meshless procedure though the time fractional part is discretized by Liouville-Caputo fractional derivative. The numerical re?sults are obtained for 1-, 2- and 3-D cases on rectangular and non-rectangular computational domains which verify the validity, efficiency and accuracy of the method.

This work brings together two recently discussed topics: mathematical modeling of a bioreactor and working with derivatives of non-integer order. Generally, it turns out that it is reasonable to replace the integer order derivatives in some of the already well known mathematical models describing bioprocesses with fractional order ones. However, the specific structure of such type of derivatives makes the study of the properties of the models a real challenge. This work contains primary results for modeling of a bioreactor with appropriately selected numerical approximations. Different scenarios are taken into consideration: starting from the simplest one - without mortality and then complicating by adding nonzero mortality term. In the classical case the solution of the system of differential equations describing the process has a specific behaviour in terms of monotonicity. Therefore, the focus of the further examinations is to find out whether it is possible to generalize the model into a fractional order one such that the key properties considering monotonicity still hold. The results show that the latter requires certain dependencies between the orders of the derivatives in the mathematical model. The hypothesis is based on two types of experiments which are described in detail. Lotka-Volterra and Monod specific growth rate are used in the mathematical model. The paper contains figures which illustrate the results from different numerical computations performed via Wolfram Mathematica software.
