A novel variable-order fractional chaotic map and its dynamics

In recent years,fractional-order chaotic maps have been paid more attention in publications because of the memory effect.This paper presents a novel variable-order fractional sine map(VFSM)based on the discrete fractional calculus.Specially,the order is defined as an iterative function that incorporates the current state of the system.By analyzing phase diagrams,time sequences,bifurcations,Lyapunov exponents and fuzzy entropy complexity,the dynamics of the proposed map are investigated comparing with the constant-order fractional sine map.The results reveal that the variable order has a good effect on improving the chaotic performance,and it enlarges the range of available parameter values as well as reduces non-chaotic windows.Multiple coexisting attractors also enrich the dynamics of VFSM and prove its sensitivity to initial values.Moreover,the sequence generated by the proposed map passes the statistical test for pseudorandom number and shows strong robustness to parameter estimation,which proves the potential applications in the field of information security.

Constrained Fractional Variational Problems of Variable Order

Isoperimetric problems consist in minimizing or maximizing a cost functional subject to an integral constraint.In this work, we present two fractional isoperimetric problems where the Lagrangian depends on a combined Caputo derivative of variable fractional order and we present a new variational problem subject to a holonomic constraint. We establish necessary optimality conditions in order to determine the minimizers of the fractional problems. The terminal point in the cost integral,as well as the terminal state, are considered to be free, and we obtain corresponding natural boundary conditions.

Numerical analysis for viscoelastic fluid flow with distributed/variable order time fractional Maxwell constitutive models

Fractional calculus has been widely used to study the flow of viscoelastic fluids recently,and fractional differential equations have attracted a lot of attention.However,the research has shown that the fractional equation with constant order operators has certain limitations in characterizing some physical phenomena.In this paper,the viscoelastic fluid flow of generalized Maxwell fluids in an infinite straight pipe driven by a periodic pressure gradient is investigated systematically.Consider the complexity of the material structure and multi-scale effects in the viscoelastic fluid flow.The modified time fractional Maxwell models and the corresponding governing equations with distributed/variable order time fractional derivatives are proposed.Based on the L1-approximation formula of Caputo fractional derivatives,the implicit finite difference schemes for the distributed/variable order time fractional governing equations are presented,and the numerical solutions are derived.In order to test the correctness and availability of numerical schemes,two numerical examples are established to give the exact solutions.The comparisons between the numerical solutions and the exact solutions have been made,and their high consistency indicates that the present numerical methods are effective.Then,this paper analyzes the velocity distributions of the distributed/variable order fractional Maxwell governing equations under specific conditions,and discusses the effects of the weight coefficient(α)in distributed order time fractional derivatives,the orderα(r,t)in variable fractional order derivatives,the relaxation timeλ,and the frequencyωof the periodic pressure gradient on the fluid flow velocity.Finally,the flow rates of the distributed/variable order fractional Maxwell governing equations are also studied.

An Efficient Second-Order Convergent Scheme for One-Side Space Fractional Diffusion Equations with Variable Coefficients

In this paper,a second-order fnite-diference scheme is investigated for time-dependent space fractional difusion equations with variable coefcients.In the presented scheme,the Crank-Nicolson temporal discretization and a second-order weighted-and-shifted Grünwald-Letnikov spatial discretization are employed.Theoretically,the unconditional stability and the second-order convergence in time and space of the proposed scheme are established under some conditions on the variable coefcients.Moreover,a Toeplitz preconditioner is proposed for linear systems arising from the proposed scheme.The condition number of the preconditioned matrix is proven to be bounded by a constant independent of the discretization step-sizes,so that the Krylov subspace solver for the preconditioned linear systems converges linearly.Numerical results are reported to show the convergence rate and the efciency of the proposed scheme.

Space-Fractional Diffusion with Variable Order and Diffusivity:Discretization and Direct Solution Strategies

We consider the multidimensional space-fractional diffusion equations with spatially varying diffusivity and fractional order.Significant computational challenges are encoun-tered when solving these equations due to the kernel singularity in the fractional integral operator and the resulting dense discretized operators,which quickly become prohibitively expensive to handle because of their memory and arithmetic complexities.In this work,we present a singularity-aware discretization scheme that regularizes the singular integrals through a singularity subtraction technique adapted to the spatial variability of diffusiv-ity and fractional order.This regularization strategy is conveniently formulated as a sparse matrix correction that is added to the dense operator,and is applicable to different formula-tions of fractional diffusion equations.We also present a block low rank representation to handle the dense matrix representations,by exploiting the ability to approximate blocks of the resulting formally dense matrix by low rank factorizations.A Cholesky factorization solver operates directly on this representation using the low rank blocks as its atomic com-putational tiles,and achieves high performance on multicore hardware.Numerical results show that the singularity treatment is robust,substantially reduces discretization errors,and attains the first-order convergence rate allowed by the regularity of the solutions.They also show that considerable savings are obtained in storage(O(N^(1.5)))and computational cost(O(N^(2)))compared to dense factorizations.This translates to orders-of-magnitude savings in memory and time on multidimensional problems,and shows that the proposed methods offer practical tools for tackling large nonlocal fractional diffusion simulations.

A Finite Difference Method for Space Fractional Differential Equations with Variable Diffusivity Coefficient

Anomalous diffusion is a phenomenon that cannot be modeled accurately by second-order diffusion equations,but is better described by fractional diffusion models.The nonlocal nature of the fractional diffusion operators makes substantially more difficult the mathemati-cal analysis of these models and the establishment of suitable numerical schemes.This paper proposes and analyzes the first finite difference method for solving variable-coefficient one-dimensional(steady state)fractional differential equations(DEs)with two-sided fractional derivatives(FDs).The proposed scheme combines first-order forward and backward Euler methods for approximating the left-sided FD when the right-sided FD is approximated by two consecutive applications of the first-order backward Euler method.Our scheme reduces to the standard second-order central difference in the absence of FDs.The existence and uniqueness of the numerical solution are proved,and truncation errors of order h are demonstrated(h denotes the maximum space step size).The numerical tests illustrate the global 0(h)accu-racy,except for nonsmooth cases which,as expected,have deteriorated convergence rates.
