In this paper, we introduce the notions of equiaffine arclength and curvature with fractional order for a plane curve and compare them with the standard ones. In terms of the equiaffine curvature with fractional order we obtain an equiaffine Frenet formula and then construct an analogue of the Fundamental Theorem. The plane curves of constant equiaffine curvature with fractional-order are classified. Several examples are also illustrated.

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.

AbstractThe splitting number of a plane irreducible curve for a Galois cover is effective in distinguishing the embedded topology of plane curves. In this paper, we define the connected number of a plane curve (possibly reducible) for a Galois cover, which is similar to the splitting number. By using the connected number, we distinguish the embedded topology of Artal arrangements of degree b ≥ 4, where an Artal arrangement of degree b is a plane curve consisting of one smooth curve of degree b and three of its total inflectional tangents.

AbstractLet $\mathcal {C}$ C be a decomposable plane curve over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. That is, $\mathcal {C}$ C is defined in k2 by an equation of the form g(x) = f(y), where g and f are polynomials of degree at least two. We use this data to construct three affine pointed Hopf algebras, A(x, a, g), A(y, b, f) and A(g, f), in the first two of which g [resp. f ] are skew primitive central elements, with the third being a factor of the tensor product of the first two. We conjecture that A(g, f) contains the coordinate ring $\mathcal {O}(\mathcal {C})$ O ( C ) of $\mathcal {C}$ C as a quantum homogeneous space, and prove this when each of g and f has degree at most five or is a power of the variable. We obtain many properties of these Hopf algebras, and show that, for small degrees, they are related to previously known algebras. For example, when g has degree three A(x, a, g) is a PBW deformation of the localisation at powers of a generator of the downup algebra A(− 1,− 1,0). The final section of the paper lists some questions for future work.

Abstract This paper proposes a conceptual experiment embedding the model of a bouncing ball and the Grünwald-Letnikov (GL) formulation for derivative of fractional order. The impacts of the ball with the surface are modeled by means of a restitution coefficient related to the coefficients of the GL fractional derivative. The results are straightforward to interpret under the light of the classical physics. The mechanical experiment leads to a physical perspective and allows a straightforward visualization. This strategy provides not only a motivational introduction to students of the fractional calculus, but also triggers possible discussion with regard to the use of fractional models in mechanics.

A rock creep constitutive model is the core content of rock rheological mechanics theory and is of great significance for studying the long-term stability of engineering. Most of the creep models constructed in previous studies have complex types and many parameters. Based on fractional calculus theory, this paper explores the creep curve characteristics of the creep elements with the fractional order change, constructs a nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model of rock based on fractional calculus, and deduces the creep constitutive equation. By using a user-defined function fitting tool of the Origin software and the Levenberg–Marquardt optimization algorithm, the creep test data are fitted and compared. The fitting curve is in good agreement with the experimental data, which shows the rationality and applicability of the proposed nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model. Through sensitivity analysis of the fractional order β2 and viscoelastic coefficient ξ2, the influence of these creep parameters on rock creep is clarified. The research results show that the nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model of rock based on fractional calculus constructed in this paper can well describe the creep characteristics of rock, and this model has certain theoretical significance and engineering application value for long-term engineering stability research.

In this paper the fractional differential equation for the mass-spring-damper system in terms of the fractional time derivatives of the Caputo type is considered. In order to be consistent with the physical equation, a new parameter is introduced. This parameter char­acterizes the existence of fractional components in the system. A relation between the fractional order time derivative and the new parameter is found. Different particular cases are analyzed

By using fractional calculus and the summation by parts formula in this paper, the asymptotic behaviours of solutions of nonlinear neutral fractional delay pantograph equations with continuous arguments are investigated. The asymptotic estimates of solutions for the equation are obtained, which may imply asymptotic stability of solutions. In the end, a particular case is provided to illustrate the main result and the speed of the convergence of the obtained solutions.

Redundant manipulators have some advantages when compared with classical arms because they allow the trajectory optimization, both on the free space and on the presence of obstacles, and the resolution of singularities. For this type of arms the proposed kinematic control algorithms adopt generalized inverse matrices but, in general, the corresponding trajectory planning schemes show important limitations. Motivated by these problems this paper studies the pseudoinverse-based trajectory planning algorithms, using the theory of fractional calculus.

The theory and applications of fractional calculus (FC) had a considerable progress during the last years. Dynamical systems and control are one of the most active areas, and several authors focused on the stability of fractional order systems. Nevertheless, due to the multitude of efforts in a short period of time, contributions are scattered along the literature, and it becomes difficult for researchers to have a complete and systematic picture of the present day knowledge. This paper is an attempt to overcome this situation by reviewing the state of the art and putting this topic in a systematic form. While the problem is formulated with rigour, from the mathematical point of view, the exposition intends to be easy to read by the applied researchers. Different types of systems are considered, namely, linear/nonlinear, positive, with delay, distributed, and continuous/discrete. Several possible routes of future progress that emerge are also tackled.
