A Hybrid ESA-CCD Method for Variable-Order Time-Fractional Diffusion Equations

In this paper, we study the solutions for variable-order time-fractional diffusion equations. A three-point combined compact difference (CCD) method is used to discretize the spatial variables to achieve sixth-order accuracy, while the exponential-sum-approximation (ESA) is used to approximate the variable-order Caputo fractional derivative in the temporal direction, and a novel spatial sixth-order hybrid ESA-CCD method is implemented successfully. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed method is verified by numerical experiments.

Then,the Noether 's theorem for the fractional Birkhoffian system of variable order is given. At last,an example is expressed to illustrate the application of the results.

A specific state variable for a class of 3D continuous fractional-order chaotic systems

A specific state variable in a class of 3D continuous fractional-order chaotic systems is presented. All state variables of fractional-order chaotic systems of this class can be obtained via a specific state variable and its （q-order and 2q-order） time derivatives. This idea is demonstrated by using several well-known fractional-order chaotic systems. Finally, a synchronization scheme is investigated for this fractional-order chaotic system via a specific state variable and its （q-order and 2q-order） time derivatives. Some examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization method.

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.

Dynamic behavior of fractional order Duffing chaotic system and its synchronization via singly active control

With the increasingly deep studies in physics and technology, the dynamics of fractional order nonlinear systems and the synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems have become the focus in scientific research. In this paper, the dynamic behavior including the chaotic properties of fractional order Duffing systems is extensively inves- tigated. With the stability criterion of linear fractional systems, the synchronization of a fractional non-autonomous system is obtained. Specifically, an effective singly active control is proposed and used to synchronize a fractional order Duffing system. The nu- merical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
