Fractional Pfaff-Birkhoff Principle and Birkhoff′s Equations in Terms of Riesz Fractional Derivatives

The dynamical and physical behavior of a complex system can be more accurately described by using the fractional model.With the successful use of fractional calculus in many areas of science and engineering,it is necessary to extend the classical theories and methods of analytical mechanics to the fractional dynamic system.Birkhoffian mechanics is a natural generalization of Hamiltonian mechanics,and its core is the Pfaff-Birkhoff principle and Birkhoff′s equations.The study on the Birkhoffian mechanics is an important developmental direction of modern analytical mechanics.Here,the fractional Pfaff-Birkhoff variational problem is presented and studied.The definitions of fractional derivatives,the formulae for integration by parts and some other preliminaries are firstly given.Secondly,the fractional Pfaff-Birkhoff principle and the fractional Birkhoff′s equations in terms of RieszRiemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and Riesz-Caputo fractional derivatives are presented respectively.Finally,an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.

Fractional-order Generalized Principle of Self-support (FOGPSS) in Control System Design

This paper reviews research that studies the principle of self-support U+0028 PSS U+0029 in some control systems and proposes a fractional-order generalized PSS framework for the first time. The existing PSS approach focuses on practical tracking problem of integer-order systems including robotic dynamics, high precision linear motor system, multi-axis high precision positioning system with unmeasurable variables, imprecise sensor information, uncertain parameters and external disturbances. More generally, by formulating the fractional PSS concept as a new generalized framework, we will focus on the possible fields of the fractional-order control problems such as practical tracking, U+03BB-tracking, etc. of robot systems, multiple mobile agents, discrete dynamical systems, time delay systems and other uncertain nonlinear systems. Finally, the practical tracking of a first-order uncertain model of automobile is considered as a simple example to demonstrate the efficiency of the fractional-order generalized principle of self-support U+0028 FOGPSS U+0029 control strategy. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS WITH HIGH ENERGY FOR FRACTIONAL SCHRODINGER EQUATIONS

In this paper, we study the Schrodinger equations (-△)^(s)u + V(x)u = a(x)|u|^(p-2)u + b(x)|u|^(q-2)u, x∈R^(N),where 0 < s < 1, 2 < q < p < 2_(s)^(*), 2_(s)^(*) is the fractional Sobolev critical exponent.

First-principles Study on Equilibrium Sn Isotope Fractionations in Hydrothermal Fluids

Tin(Sn)isotope geochemistry has great potential in tracing geological processes.However,lack of equilibrium Sn isotope fractionation factors of various Sn species limits the development of Sn isotope geochemistry.Equilibrium Sn isotope fractionation factors(124Sn/116Sn and 122Sn/116Sn)among various Sn(II,IV)complexes in aqueous solution were calculated using first-principles calculations.The results show that the oxidation states and the change of Sn(II,IV)species in hydrothermal fluids are the main factors leading to tin isotope fractionation in hydrothermal systems.For the Sn(IV)complexes,Sn isotope fractionation factors depend on the number of H2O molecules.For the Sn(II)complexes,the Sn isotope fractionation between Sn(II)−F,Sn(II)−Cl and Sn(II)−OH complexes is mainly affected by the bond length and the coordination number of anion,whereas the difference in 1000lnβvalues of Sn(II)−SO4 and Sn(II)−CO_(3) complexes is insignificant with the change of anion coordination number.By comparing the 1000lnβvalues of all Sn(II,IV)complexes,the enrichment trend in heavy Sn isotopes is Sn(IV)complexes>Sn(II)complexes.The equilibrium Sn isotopic fractionation factors enhance our understanding of the tin transportation and enrichment processes in hydrothermal systems.

A Sparse Kernel Approximate Method for Fractional Boundary Value Problems

In this paper,the weak pre-orthogonal adaptive Fourier decomposition(W-POAFD)method is applied to solve fractional boundary value problems(FBVPs)in the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces(RKHSs)W_(0)^(4)[0,1] and W^(1)[0,1].The process of the W-POAFD is as follows:(i)choose a dictionary and implement the pre-orthogonalization to all the dictionary elements;(ii)select points in[0,1]by the weak maximal selection principle to determine the corresponding orthonormalized dictionary elements iteratively;(iii)express the analytical solution as a linear combination of these determined dictionary elements.Convergence properties of numerical solutions are also discussed.The numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of W-POAFD for solving FBVPs.

First-principles investigation of the concentration effect on equilibrium fractionation of Ca isotopes in forsterite

Previous theoretical studies have found that the concentration variations within a certain range have a prominent effect on inter-mineral equilibrium isotope fractionation(10^3 lna).Based on the density functional theory,we investigated how the average Ca–O bond length and the reduced partition function ratios(10^3 lnb)and103lna of 44 Ca/40 Ca in forsterite(Fo)are affected by its Ca concentration.Our results show that Ca–O bond length in forsterite ranges from 2.327 to 2.267 A with the Ca/(Ca+Mg)varying between a narrow range limited by an upper limit of 1/8 and a lower limit of 1/64.However,outside this narrow range,i.e.,Ca/(Ca+Mg)is lower than1/64 or higher than 1/8,Ca–O bond length becomes insensitive to Ca concentration and maintains to be a constant.Because the 10^3 lnb is negatively correlated with Ca–O bond length,the 10^3lnb significantly increases with decreasing Ca/(Ca+Mg)when 1/64<Ca/(Ca+Mg)<2/16.As a consequence,the 10^3lna between forsterite and other minerals also strongly depend on the Ca content in forsterite.Combining previous studies with our results,the heavier Ca isotopes enrichment sequence in minerals is:forsterite[orthopyroxene[clinopyroxene[calcite & diopside[dolomite[aragonite.Olivineand pyroxenes are enriched in heavier Ca isotope compared to carbonates.The 10^3lna between forsterite with a Ca/(Ca+Mg)of 1/64 and clinopyroxene(Ca/Mg=1/1,i.e.,diopside)is up to^0.64%at 1200 K.The large 103lnaFodiopsiderelative to the current analytical precision for Ca isotope measurements suggests that the dependence of10^3 lnaFo-diopsideon temperature can be used as a thermometer,similar to the one based on the 103lna of 44 Ca/40 Ca between orthopyroxene and diopside.These two Ca isotope thermometers both have a precision approximate to that of elemental thermometers and provide independent constraints on temperature.

These systems were categorized critical and subcritical cases. We show that there is no positive solution in the subcritical cases, and we classify all positive solutions ui in the critical cases by using a direct method of moving planes introduced in Chen-Li-Li [11] and some new maximum principles in Li-Wu-Xu [27].

Novel uncertainty relations associated with fractional Fourier transform

In this paper the relations between two spreads, between two group delays, and between one spread and one group delay in fractional Fourier transform （FRFT） domains, are presented and three theorems on the uncertainty principle in FRFT domains are also developed. Theorem 1 gives the bounds of two spreads in two FRFT domains. Theorem 2 shows the uncertainty relation between two group delays in two FRFT domains. Theorem 3 presents the crossed uncertainty relation between one group delay and one spread in two FRFT domains. The novelty of their results lies in connecting the products of different physical measures and giving their physical interpretations. The existing uncertainty principle in the FRFT domain is only a special ease of theorem 1, and the conventional uncertainty principle in time-frequency domains is a special case of their results. Therefore, three theorems develop the relations of two spreads in time-frequency domains into the relations between two spreads, between two group delays, and between one spread and one group delay in FRFT domains.

Generalized Parseval’s Theorem on Fractional Fourier Transform for Discrete Signals and Filtering of LFM Signals

This paper investigates the generalized Parseval’s theorem of fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) for concentrated data. Also, in the framework of multiple FRFT domains, Parseval’s theorem reduces to an inequality with lower and upper bounds associated with FRFT parameters, named as generalized Parseval’s theorem by us. These results theoretically provide potential valuable applications in filtering, and examples of filtering for LFM signals in FRFT domains are demonstrated to support the derived conclusions.

CONSIDER SAINT-VENANT'S PRINCIPLE BY MEANS OF CHAIN MODEL

A precise background theory of computational mechanics is formed. Saint_Venant's principle is discussed in chain model by means of this precise theory. The classical continued fraction is developed into operator continued fraction to be the constrictive formulation of the chain model. The decay of effect of a self_equilibrated system of forces in chain model is decided by the convergence of operator continued fraction, so the reasonable part of Saint_Venant's principle is described as the convergence of operator continued fraction. In case of divergence the effect of a self_equilibrated system of forces may be non_zero at even infinite distant sections, so Saint_Venant's principle is not a common principle.

EXISTENCE TO FRACTIONAL CRITICAL EQUATION WITH HARDY-LITTLEWOOD-SOBOLEV NONLINEARITIES

In this paper,we consider the following new Kirchhoff-type equations involving the fractional p-Laplacian and Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev critical nonlinearity:(A+B∫∫_(R^(2N))|u(x)-u(y)|^(p)/|x-y|^(N+ps)dxdy)^(p-1)(-△)_(p)^(s)u+λV(x)|u|^(p-2)u=(∫_(R^(N))|U|^(P_(μ,S)^(*))/|x-y|^(μ)dy)|u|^(P_(μ,S)^(*))^(-2)u,x∈R^(N),where(-△)_(p)^(s)is the fractional p-Laplacian with 0<s<1<p,0<μ<N,N>ps,a,b>0,λ>0 is a parameter,V:R^(N)→R^(+)is a potential function,θ∈[1,2_(μ,s)^(*))and P_(μ,S)^(*)=pN-pμ/2/N-ps is the critical exponent in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality.We get the existence of infinitely many solutions for the above problem by using the concentration compactness principle and Krasnoselskii’s genus theory.To the best of our knowledge,our result is new even in Choquard-Kirchhoff-type equations involving the p-Laplacian case.

The continuous and discrete generalized uncertainty relations, whose bounds are related to FRFT parameters and signal lengths, were derived in theory. These uncertainty principles disclose that the data in FRFT domains may have?much higher concentration than that in traditional time-frequency domains, which will enrich the ensemble of generalized uncertainty principles.

Analysing chaos in fractional-order systems with the harmonic balance method

In this paper, the fractional-order Genesio-Tesi system showing chaotic behaviours is introduced, and the corresponding one in an integer-order form is studied intensively. Based on the harmonic balance principle, which is widely used in the frequency analysis of nonlinear control systems, a theoretical approach is used to investigate the conditions of system parameters under which this fractional-order system can give rise to a chaotic attractor. Finally, the numerical simulation is used to verify the validity of the theoretical results.
