The Cauchy Problem

Abstract This survey paper is devoted to the description of the results by M.M. Djrbashian related to the modern theory of Fractional Calculus. M.M. Djrbashian (1918-1994) is a well-known expert in complex analysis, harmonic analysis and approximation theory. Anyway, his contributions to fractional calculus, to boundary value problems for fractional order operators, to the investigation of properties of the Queen function of Fractional Calculus (the Mittag-Leffler function), to integral transforms’ theory has to be understood on a better level. Unfortunately, most of his works are not enough popular as in that time were published in Russian. The aim of this survey is to fill in the gap in the clear recognition of M.M. Djrbashian’s results in these areas. For same purpose, we decided also to translate in English one of his basic papers [21] of 1968 (joint with A.B. Nersesian, “Fractional derivatives and the Cauchy problem for differential equations of fractional order”), and were invited by the “FCAA” editors to publish its re-edited version in this same issue of the journal.

Abstract Editorial Note: This is a paper by M.M. Djrbashian and A.B. Nersesian of 1968, that was published in Russian. There is a constant interest to Djrbashian’s contributions to the topic of fractional calculus and theory of Mittag-Leffler function. Unfortunately, his works were published in Russian and thus, are not easy accessible and not enough popular. Therefore, we invited hS. Rogosin and M. Dubatovskaya to prepare the survey paper in this same issue of “FCAA” and also to translate and edit the present paper in English. On behalf of Editorial Board and fractional calculus’ community, we express to them our thanks for this hard work, including also retyping, mentioning some typos, etc. Authors’ Summary: The concept of fractional integro-differentiation has found a number of applications in earlier papers of the present authors. With this paper we begin the publication of our results in the field of boundary problems for differential operators of fractional order.

The Cauchy Problem

In this work, based on Newton’s second law, taking into account heredity, an equation is derived for a linear hereditary oscillator (LHO). Then, by choosing a power-law memory function, the transition to a model equation with Gerasimov–Caputo fractional derivatives is carried out. For the resulting model equation, local initial conditions are set (the Cauchy problem). Numerical methods for solving the Cauchy problem using an explicit non-local finite-difference scheme (ENFDS) and the Adams–Bashforth–Moulton (ABM) method are considered. An analysis of the errors of the methods is carried out on specific test examples. It is shown that the ABM method is more accurate and converges faster to an exact solution than the ENFDS method. Forced oscillations of linear fractional oscillators (LFO) are investigated. Using the ABM method, the amplitude–frequency characteristics (AFC) were constructed, which were compared with the AFC obtained by the analytical formula. The Q-factor of the LFO is investigated. It is shown that the orders of fractional derivatives are responsible for the intensity of energy dissipation in fractional vibrational systems. Specific mathematical models of LFOs are considered: a fractional analogue of the harmonic oscillator, fractional oscillators of Mathieu and Airy. Oscillograms and phase trajectories were constructed using the ABM method for various values of the parameters included in the model equation. The interpretation of the simulation results is carried out.

In this article we study the solvability of the analogue of the Cauchy problem for ordinary differential equations with Riemann–Liouville’s fractional derivatives with a nonlinear restriction on the right-hand side of functions in certain spaces. The conditions for solvability of the problem under consideration in given function spaces, as well as the conditions for existence of a unique solution are given. The study uses the method of reducing the problem to the second-kind Volterra equation, the Schauder principle of a fixed point in a Banach space, and the Banach-Cachoppoli principle of a fixed point in a complete metric space.

Fractional Derivatives And Integrals

Abstract In this work a relationship between Fractional calculus (FC) and the solution of a first order partial differential equation (FOPDE) is suggested. With this relationship and considering an extra dimension, an alternative representation for fractional derivatives and integrals is proposed. This representation can be applied to fractional derivatives and integrals defined by convolution integrals of the Volterra type, i.e. the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives and integrals, and the Riesz and Feller potentials, and allows to transform fractional order systems in FOPDE that only contains integer-order derivatives. As a consequence of considering the extra dimension, the geometric interpretation of fractional derivatives and integrals naturally emerges as the area under the curve of a characteristic trajectory and as the direction of a tangent characteristic vector, respectively. Besides this, a new physical interpretation is suggested for the fractional derivatives, integrals and dynamical systems.

The Cauchy Problem

Since 1960's, the blow-up phenomena for the Fujita type parabolic equation have been investigated by many researchers. In this survey paper, we discuss various results on the life span of positive solutions for several superlinear parabolic problems. In the last section, we introduce a recent result by the author.
