Generalized Fractional Derivative

AbstractThe problem whether a given pair of functions can be used as the kernels of a generalized fractional derivative and the associated generalized fractional integral is reduced to the problem of existence of a solution to the Sonine equation. It is shown for some selected classes of functions that a necessary condition for a function to be the kernel of a fractional derivative is an integrable singularity at 0. It is shown that locally integrable completely monotone functions satisfy the Sonine equation if and only if they are singular at 0.

Fractional Relaxation

In this paper, we first deduce the explicit formulas for the projector of the nth level fractional derivative and for its Laplace transform. Afterwards, the fractional relaxation equation with the nth level fractional derivative is discussed. It turns out that, under some conditions, the solutions to the initial-value problems for this equation are completely monotone functions that can be represented in form of the linear combinations of the Mittag–Leffler functions with some power law weights. Special attention is given to the case of the relaxation equation with the second level derivative.

Stability Results

This paper presents a class of implicit pantograph fractional differential equation with more general Riemann-Liouville fractional integral condition. A certain class of generalized fractional derivative is used to set the problem. The existence and uniqueness of the problem is obtained using Schaefer’s and Banach fixed point theorems. In addition, the Ulam-Hyers and generalized Ulam-Hyers stability of the problem are established. Finally, some examples are given to illustrative the results.

In this paper we consider a single-server queue with Lévy input and, in particular, its workload process (Qt)t≥0, with a focus on the correlation structure. With the correlation function defined asr(t) := cov(Q0,Qt) / var(Q0) (assuming that the workload process is in stationarity at time 0), we first determine its transform ∫0∞r(t)e-ϑtdt. This expression allows us to prove thatr(·) is positive, decreasing, and convex, relying on the machinery of completely monotone functions. We also show thatr(·) can be represented as the complementary distribution function of a specific random variable. These results are used to compute the asymptotics ofr(t), for larget, for the cases of light-tailed and heavy-tailed Lévy inputs.

We consider sequences $ {\lbrace \rho_j \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $ $ (\rho_0 \mathclose{=} 1, \rho_j \mathclose{\geq} 1) $, $ {\lbrace \alpha_j \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $ $ (\alpha_0 \mathclose{=} 1, \alpha_j \mathclose{=} 1 \mathclose{-} (1/\rho_j )) $, $ {\lbrace W_j (x) \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} \mathclose{\in} W $, where $$ W \mathclose{=} \lbrace {\lbrace W_j (x) \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} / W_0 (x) \mathclose{\equiv} 1, W_j (x) \mathclose{>} 0, {W}_{j}^{\prime} (x) \mathclose{\leq} 0, W_j (x) \mathclose{\in} C^\infty [0,a] \rbrace, $$ $ C^\infty [0,a] $ is the class of functions of infinitely differentiable. For such sequences we introduce systems of operators $ {\lbrace {A}_{a,n}^{\ast} f \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $, $ {\lbrace \tilde{A}_{a,n}^{\ast} f \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $ and functions $ {\lbrace {U}_{a,n} (x) \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $, $ {\lbrace {\Phi}_{n} (x,t) \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $. For a certain class of functions a generalization of Taylor–Maclaurin type formulae was obtained. We also introduce the concept of $ \langle \rho_j,W_j \rangle $ generalized completely monotone functions and establish a theorem on their representation.

The Time Domain

AbstractThe relaxation properties of dielectric materials are described, in the frequency domain, according to one of the several models proposed over the years: Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts, Cole-Cole, Cole-Davidson, Havriliak-Negami (with its modified version) and Excess wing model are among the most famous. Their description in the time domain involves some mathematical functions whose knowledge is of fundamental importance for a full understanding of the models. In this work, we survey the main dielectric models and we illustrate the corresponding time-domain functions. In particular, we stress the attention on the completely monotone character of the relaxation and response functions. We also provide a characterization of the models in terms of differential operators of fractional order.
