A New Scheme of the ARA Transform for Solving Fractional-Order Waves-Like Equations Involving Variable Coefficients

The goal of this research is to develop a new,simplified analytical method known as the ARA-residue power series method for obtaining exact-approximate solutions employing Caputo type fractional partial differential equations(PDEs)with variable coefficient.ARA-transform is a robust and highly flexible generalization that unifies several existing transforms.The key concept behind this method is to create approximate series outcomes by implementing the ARA-transform and Taylor’s expansion.The process of finding approximations for dynamical fractional-order PDEs is challenging,but the ARA-residual power series technique magnifies this challenge by articulating the solution in a series pattern and then determining the series coefficients by employing the residual component and the limit at infinity concepts.This approach is effective and useful for solving a massive class of fractional-order PDEs.Five appealing implementations are taken into consideration to demonstrate the effectiveness of the projected technique in creating solitary series findings for the governing equations with variable coefficients.Additionally,several visualizations are drawn for different fractional-order values.Besides that,the estimated findings by the proposed technique are in close agreement with the exact outcomes.Finally,statistical analyses further validate the efficacy,dependability and steady interconnectivity of the suggested ARA-residue power series approach.

AN EXPLANATION ON FOUR NEW DEFINITIONS OF FRACTIONAL OPERATORS

Fractional calculus has drawn more attentions of mathematicians and engineers in recent years.A lot of new fractional operators were used to handle various practical problems.In this article,we mainly study four new fractional operators,namely the CaputoFabrizio operator,the Atangana-Baleanu operator,the Sun-Hao-Zhang-Baleanu operator and the generalized Caputo type operator under the frame of the k-Prabhakar fractional integral operator.Usually,the theory of the k-Prabhakar fractional integral is regarded as a much broader than classical fractional operator.Here,we firstly give a series expansion of the k-Prabhakar fractional integral by means of the k-Riemann-Liouville integral.Then,a connection between the k-Prabhakar fractional integral and the four new fractional operators of the above mentioned was shown,respectively.In terms of the above analysis,we can obtain this a basic fact that it only needs to consider the k-Prabhakar fractional integral to cover these results from the four new fractional operators.

A High Order Formula to Approximate the Caputo Fractional Derivative

We present here a high-order numerical formula for approximating the Caputo fractional derivative of order𝛼for 0<α<1.This new formula is on the basis of the third degree Lagrange interpolating polynomial and may be used as a powerful tool in solving some kinds of fractional ordinary/partial diff erential equations.In comparison with the previous formulae,the main superiority of the new formula is its order of accuracy which is 4−α,while the order of accuracy of the previous ones is less than 3.It must be pointed out that the proposed formula and other existing formulae have almost the same computational cost.The eff ectiveness and the applicability of the proposed formula are investigated by testing three distinct numerical examples.Moreover,an application of the new formula in solving some fractional partial diff erential equations is presented by constructing a fi nite diff erence scheme.A PDE-based image denoising approach is proposed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme.

It is shown that asymptotic stability is ensured for linear fractional-order neutral delay differential systems provided that the underlying stability criterion holds for any delay parameter. In addition, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the asymptotic stability of interval linear fractional order neutral delay differential systems. Examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the theoretical results.

Modeling Drug Concentration in Blood through Caputo-Fabrizio and Caputo Fractional Derivatives

This study focuses on the dynamics of drug concentration in the blood.In general,the concentration level of a drug in the blood is evaluated by themean of an ordinary and first-order differential equation.More precisely,it is solved through an initial value problem.We proposed a newmodeling technique for studying drug concentration in blood dynamics.This technique is based on two fractional derivatives,namely,Caputo and Caputo-Fabrizio derivatives.We first provided comprehensive and detailed proof of the existence of at least one solution to the problem;we later proved the uniqueness of the existing solution.The proof was written using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative and some fixed-point techniques.Stability via theUlam-Hyers(UH)technique was also investigated.The application of the proposedmodel on two real data sets revealed that the Caputo derivative wasmore suitable in this study.Indeed,for the first data set,the model based on the Caputo derivative yielded a Mean Squared Error(MSE)of 0.03095 with a corresponding best value of fractional order of derivative of 1.00360.Caputo-Fabrizio-basedderivative appeared to be the second-best method for the problem,with an MSE of 0.04324 for a corresponding best fractional derivative order of 0.43532.For the second experiment,Caputo derivative-based model still performed the best as it yielded an MSE of 0.04066,whereas the classical and the Caputo-Fabrizio methods were tied with the same MSE of 0.07299.Another interesting finding was that the MSE yielded by the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative coincided with the MSE obtained from the classical approach.

Chebyshev Pseudo-Spectral Method for Solving Fractional Advection-Dispersion Equation

Fractional differential equations have recently been applied in various areas of engineering, science, finance, applied mathematics, bio-engineering and others. However, many researchers remain unaware of this field. In this paper, an efficient numerical method for solving the fractional Advection-dispersion equation (ADE) is considered. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The method is based on Chebyshev approximations. The properties of Chebyshev polynomials are used to reduce ADE to a system of ordinary differential equations, which are solved using the finite difference method (FDM). Moreover, the convergence analysis and an upper bound of the error for the derived formula are given. Numerical solutions of ADE are presented and the results are compared with the exact solution.
