This paper suggests two fractional differences for aftershock modeling with heavy tails. Discrete fractional calculus is a straightforward tool on isolated time scale. On the other hand, the fractional difference also can be derived by standard finite difference method when the difference formula is convergent. The two methods are both adopted and compared in the results. The unknown parameters are determined by use of the least square method where Ya’an earthquake aftershock data is used. It is reported that the discrete fractional calculus is an exact discretization tool without any loss in the memory effects which leads to better results.

In this paper, we study the nonoscillatory behavior of three classes of fractional difference equations. The investigations are presented in three different folds. Unlike most existing nonoscillation results which have been established by employing Riccati transformation technique, we employ herein an easily verifiable approach based on the fractional Taylor's difference formula, some features of discrete fractional calculus and mathematical inequalities. The theoretical findings are demonstrated by examples. We end the paper by a concluding remark.

The primary work of this paper is to investigate some potential properties of Grünwald–Letnikov discrete fractional calculus. By employing a concise and convenient description, this paper not only establishes excellent relationships between fractional difference/sum and the integer order case but also generalizes the Z-transform and convolution operation.

AbstractA direct problem and an inverse problem for the Laplace’s equation was solved in this paper. Solution to the direct problem in a rectangle was sought in a form of finite linear combinations of Chebyshev polynomials. Calculations were made for a grid consisting of Chebyshev nodes, what allows us to use orthogonal properties of Chebyshev polynomials. Temperature distributions on the boundary for the inverse problem were determined using minimization of the functional being the measure of the difference between the measured and calculated values of temperature (boundary inverse problem). For the quasi-Cauchy problem, the distance between set values of temperature and heat flux on the boundary was minimized using the least square method. Influence of the value of random disturbance to the temperature measurement, of measurement points (distance from the boundary, where the temperature is not known) arrangement as well as of the thermocouple installation error on the stability of the inverse problem was analyzed.

This study addresses the identification of autonomous nonlinear systems. It is assumed that the function form in the nonlinear system is known, leaving some unknown parameters to be estimated. It is also assumed that the free responses of the system can be measured. Since Haar wavelets can form a complete orthogonal basis for the appropriate function space, they are used to expand all signals. In doing so, the state equation can be transformed into a set of algebraic equations in unknown parameters. The technique of Kronecker product is utilized to simplify the expressions of the associated algebraic equations. Together with the least square method, the unknown system parameters are estimated. Several simulation examples verify the analysis.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the eligibility of the weighted residual methods (WRMs) applied to Jeffery-Hamel Flow. Selecting the most appropriate method among the WRMs and discussing about Jeffery-Hamel flow's treatment in divergent and convergent channels are the other important purposes of the present research. Design/methodology/approach – Three analytical methods (collocation, Galerkin and least square method) have been applied to solve the governing equations. The reliability of the methods is also approved by a comparison made between the forth order Runge-Kutta numerical method. Findings – The obtained solutions revealed that WRMs can be simple, powerful and efficient techniques for finding analytical solutions in science and engineering non-linear differential equations. Originality/value – It could be considered as a first endeavor to use the solution of the Jeffery-Hamel flow using these kind of analytical methods along with the numerical approach.

Due to its characteristics of using clean electric energy and bringing no damage to the environment, electric vehicles (EVs) have become a new developmental direction for the automotive industry. Its reliability issues have also attracted the attention of experts and professionals. In the field of automotive power control, from the perspective of motor control, this study uses the photoelectric sensors (PSs) as the research objects and elaborates on the measurement principles of motor speed with PSs. Meanwhile, a diagnosis scheme is proposed for various faults in the measurement. Among them, the measurement speed is converted by the photoelectric signal, and the measured waveform is amplified. In the fault detection process, the Radial Basis Function (RBF) artificial neural network (ANN) is analyzed. By using this method, the difference in the motor speed detected by the sensor is calculated to determine the cause of the failure. The test uses the least-square method to compare the tested motor speed with the actual motor speed. The results show that PSs can measure the motor speed of EVs. As for the motor failures, the mean square errors (MSEs) of motor speeds generated by different faults are compared to determine the fault points according to the speed changes. In addition, the cause of motor failure can be determined by the real-time calculation of the speed differences. The above tests fully prove the effectiveness of measuring the speed of electric motors by PSs; therefore, PSs have broad application prospects in vehicle power control systems.

In this paper, some attempts have been devoted to investigating the dynamic features of discrete fractional calculus (DFC). To date, discrete fractional systems with complex dynamics have attracted the most consideration. By considering discrete [Formula: see text]-proportional fractional operator with nonlocal kernel, this study contributes to the major consequences of the certain novel versions of reverse Minkowski and related Hölder-type inequalities via discrete [Formula: see text]-proportional fractional sums, as presented. The proposed system has an intriguing feature not investigated in the literature so far, it is characterized by the nabla [Formula: see text] fractional sums. Novel special cases are reported with the intention of assessing the dynamics of the system, as well as to highlighting the several existing outcomes. In terms of applications, we can employ the derived consequences to investigate the existence and uniqueness of fractional difference equations underlying worth problems. Finally, the projected method is efficient in analyzing the complexity of the system.

In doing so, the state equation can be transformed into a set of algebraic equations in unknown parameters. The technique of Kronecker product is utilized to simplify the expressions of the associated algebraic equations. Together with the least square method, the unknown system parameters are estimated. The proposed method is applied to the identification of an experimental two-well chaotic system known as the Moon beam. The identified model is validated by comparing the chaotic characteristics, such as the largest Lyapunov exponent and the correlation dimension, of the experimental data with that of the numerical results. The simple least square approach is also performed for comparison. The results indicate that the proposed method can reliably identify the characteristics of the nonlinear chaotic system.

A dodecahedron non-orthogonal redundant IMU configuration was selected as model. To improve fusion accuracy, we proposed an effective calculation method for measurement errors based on the correlation between measurement errors and fusion errors. The method considered the difference between traditional data fusion vector’s projection and measurement results, and then made a conversion from projection error to measurement error. Combined with optimal weighted least square method, measurement error was used to generate an optimal weighted matrix, and this made data fusion errors minimum. Simulations also proved that the fusion result of this method is more accurate than the result of traditional method.
