AbstractIn this short communication, an attempt is made to continue beyond paragraph 29 of Euler’s famous paper in Vol. 5 of Comment. Acad. Sci. Petropol. (1738), using his style of storytelling to extrapolate the audacity of his approach from fractional differentiation to fractional integration. To add the authenticity and the amusement to the imitation, the emulated paragraphs 30–32 are first presented in Latin version followed by the English translation.This reconstruction aims to demonstrate that Euler could consider not only fractional differentiation, but also fractional-order integration and its inverse relationship with differentiation of the same fractional order.

In the field of fractional calculus and applications, a current trend is to propose non-singular kernels for the definition of new fractional integration and differentiation operators. It was recently claimed that fractional-order derivatives defined by continuous (in the sense of non-singular) kernels are too restrictive. This note shows that this conclusion is wrong as it arises from considering the initial conditions incorrectly in (partial or not) fractional differential equations.

We investigate synchronizing fractional-order Volta chaotic systems with nonidentical orders in finite time. Firstly, the fractional chaotic system with the same structure and different orders is changed to the chaotic systems with identical orders and different structure according to the property of fractional differentiation. Secondly, based on the lemmas of fractional calculus, a controller is designed according to the changed fractional chaotic system to synchronize fractional chaotic with nonidentical order in finite time. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

Abstract : An essentially new class of repetitive fractional disturbance absorptive filters in disturbances absorbing control systems is proposed in the paper. Systematization of the standard repetitive fractional disturbance absorptive filters of this class is suggested. They use rational approximations of the operators for fractional integration in the theory of fractional calculus. The paper discusses the possibilities for repetitive absorbing of the disturbances with integer order filters and with fractional order filters. The results from the comparative analysis of their frequency characteristics are given below.

Abstract As recently observed by Bazhlekova and Dimovski [1], the n-th derivative of the 2-parametric Mittag-Leffler function gives a 3-parametric Mittag-Leffler function, known as the Prabhakar function. Following this analogy, the n-th derivative of the (2m-index) multi-index Mittag-Leffler functions [6] is obtained, and it turns out that it is expressed in terms of the (3m-index) Mittag-Leffler functions [10, 11]. Further, some special cases of the fractional order Riemann-Liouville and Erdélyi-Kober integrals of the Mittag-Leffler functions are calculated and interesting relations are proved. Analogous relations happen to connect the 3m-Mittag-Leffler functions with the integrals and derivatives of 2m-Mittag-Leffler functions. Finally, multiple Erdélyi-Kober fractional integration operators, as operators of the generalized fractional calculus [5], are shown to relate the 2m- and 3m-parametric Mittag-Leffler functions.

In this paper, the identification of continuous-time fractional order linear systems (FOLS) is investigated. In order to identify the differentiation or- ders as well as parameters and reduce the computation complexity, a novel identification method based on Chebyshev wavelet is proposed. Firstly, the Chebyshev wavelet operational matrices for fractional integration operator is derived. Then, the FOLS is converted to an algebraic equation by using the the Chebyshev wavelet operational matrices. Finally, the parameters and differentiation orders are estimated by minimizing the error between the output of real system and that of identified systems. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Recently Kiryakova and several other ones have investigated so-called multiindex Mittag-Leffler functions associated with fractional calculus. Here, in this paper, we aim at establishing a new fractional integration formula (of pathway type) involving the generalized multiindex Mittag-Leffler function E?,k[(?j,?j)m;z]. Some interesting special cases of our main result are also considered and shown to be connected with certain known ones.

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 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.
