Solitary Wave and other Solutions of Nonlinear Space-Time Fractional Differential Equation Systems

In this study, we have successfully found some travelling wave solutions of the variant Boussinesq system and fractional system of two-dimensional Burgers' equations of fractional order by using the -expansion method. These exact solutions contain hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational function solutions. The fractional complex transform is generally used to convert a partial fractional differential equation (FDEs) with modified Riemann-Liouville derivative into ordinary differential equation. We showed that the considered transform and method are very reliable, efficient and powerful in solving wide classes of other nonlinear fractional order equations and systems.

A New Legendre Collocation Method for Solving a Two-Dimensional Fractional Diffusion Equation

A new spectral shifted Legendre Gauss-Lobatto collocation (SL-GL-C) method is developed and analyzed to solve a class of two-dimensional initial-boundary fractional diffusion equations with variable coefficients. The method depends basically on the fact that an expansion in a series of shifted Legendre polynomialsPL,n(x)PL,m(y), for the function and its space-fractional derivatives occurring in the partial fractional differential equation (PFDE), is assumed; the expansion coefficients are then determined by reducing the PFDE with its boundary and initial conditions to a system of ordinary differential equations (SODEs) for these coefficients. This system may be solved numerically by using the fourth-order implicit Runge-Kutta (IRK) method. This method, in contrast to common finite-difference and finite-element methods, has the exponential rate of convergence for the two spatial discretizations. Numerical examples are presented in the form of tables and graphs to make comparisons with the results obtained by other methods and with the exact solutions more easier.

The transversal creeping vibrations of a fractional derivative order constitutive relation of nonhomogeneous beam

We considered the problem on transversal oscillations of two-layer straight bar, which is under the action of the lengthwise random forces. It is assumed that the layers of the bar were made of nonhomogenous continuously creeping material and the corresponding modulus of elasticity and creeping fractional order derivative of constitutive relation of each layer are continuous functions of the length coordinate and thickness coordinates. Partial fractional differential equation and particular solutions for the case of natural vibrations of the beam of creeping material of a fractional derivative order constitutive relation in the case of the influence of rotation inertia are derived. For the case of natural creeping vibrations, eigenfunction and time function, for different examples of boundary conditions, are determined. By using the derived partial fractional differential equation of the beam vibrations, the almost sure stochastic stability of the beam dynamic shapes, corresponding to thenth shape of the beam elastic form, forced by a bounded axially noise excitation, is investigated. By the use of S. T. Ariaratnam's idea, as well as of the averaging method, the top Lyapunov exponent is evaluated asymptotically when the intensity of excitation process is small.
