An efficient method based on framelets for solving fractional volterra integral equations

© 2020 by the authors. This paper is devoted to shedding some light on the advantages of using tight frame systems for solving some types of fractional Volterra integral equations (FVIEs) involved by the Caputo fractional order derivative. A tight frame or simply framelet, is a generalization of an orthonormal basis. A lot of applications are modeled by non-negative functions; taking this into account in this paper, we consider framelet systems generated using some refinable non-negative functions, namely, B-splines. The FVIEs we considered were reduced to a set of linear system of equations and were solved numerically based on a collocation discretization technique. We present many important examples of FVIEs for which accurate and efficient numerical solutions have been accomplished and the numerical results converge very rapidly to the exact ones

Conformable Derivative Operator in Modelling Neuronal Dynamics

This study presents two new numerical techniques for solving time-fractional one-dimensional cable differential equation (FCE) modeling neuronal dynamics. We have introduced new formulations for the approximate-analytical solution of the FCE by using modified homotopy perturbation method defined with conformable operator (MHPMC) and reduced differential transform method defined with conformable operator (RDTMC), which are derived the solutions for linear-nonlinear fractional PDEs. In order to show the efficiencies of these methods, we have compared the numerical and exact solutions of fractional neuronal dynamics problem. Moreover, we have declared that the proposed models are very accurate and illustrative techniques in determining to approximate-analytical solutions for the PDEs of fractional order in conformable sense

Numerical Method for Fractional Model of Newell-Whitehead-Segel Equation

The aim of the present work is to devote a friendly approach based on Adomian decomposition method (ADM) to find the numerical solution of the time-fractional Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation. Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation plays an efficient role in non-linear systems which describe the appearance of the stripe patterns in two dimensional systems. The numerical results obtained by proposed method are compared with exact solution for different values of fractional order α. Plotted graph illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed technique.AMS Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 44A99, 35Q99

An Algorithmic Approach to Operator Product Expansions, WW-Algebras and WW-Strings

String theory is currently the most promising theory to explain the spectrum of the elementary particles and their interactions. One of its most important features is its large symmetry group, which contains the conformal transformations in two dimensions as a subgroup. At quantum level, the symmetry group of a theory gives rise to differential equations between correlation functions of observables. We show that these Ward-identities are equivalent to Operator Product Expansions (OPEs), which encode the short-distance singularities of correlation functions with symmetry generators. The OPEs allow us to determine algebraically many properties of the theory under study. We analyse the calculational rules for OPEs, give an algorithm to compute OPEs, and discuss an implementation in Mathematica. There exist different string theories, based on extensions of the conformal algebra to so-called W-algebras. These algebras are generically nonlinear. We study their OPEs, with as main results an efficient algorithm to compute the beta-coefficients in the OPEs, the first explicit construction of the WB_2-algebra, and criteria for the factorisation of free fields in a W-algebra. An important technique to construct realisations of W-algebras is Drinfel'd- Sokolov reduction. The method consists of imposing certain constraints on the elements of an affine Lie algebra. We quantise this reduction via gauged WZNW-models. This enables us in a theory with a gauged W-symmetry, to compute exactly the correlation functions of the effective theory. Finally, we investigate the critical W-string theories based on an extension of the conformal algebra with one symmetry generator of dimension N. We clarify how the spectrum of this theory forms a minimal model of the W_N-algebra.Comment: 127 pages, LaTex, shar-file including readme.txt, 12 latex files, 6 eps files and 6 pcx files, PhD. thesis KU Leuve

New Challenges Arising in Engineering Problems with Fractional and Integer Order

Mathematical models have been frequently studied in recent decades, in order to obtain the deeper properties of real-world problems. In particular, if these problems, such as finance, soliton theory and health problems, as well as problems arising in applied science and so on, affect humans from all over the world, studying such problems is inevitable. In this sense, the first step in understanding such problems is the mathematical forms. This comes from modeling events observed in various fields of science, such as physics, chemistry, mechanics, electricity, biology, economy, mathematical applications, and control theory. Moreover, research done involving fractional ordinary or partial differential equations and other relevant topics relating to integer order have attracted the attention of experts from all over the world. Various methods have been presented and developed to solve such models numerically and analytically. Extracted results are generally in the form of numerical solutions, analytical solutions, approximate solutions and periodic properties. With the help of newly developed computational systems, experts have investigated and modeled such problems. Moreover, their graphical simulations have also been presented in the literature. Their graphical simulations, such as 2D, 3D and contour figures, have also been investigated to obtain more and deeper properties of the real world problem

The solvability of the 3-D elastic wave equations in inhomogeneous media

In this research, the three-dimensional elastic wave equations with variable coefficients (i.e. propagate through inhomogeneous media) are solved with the application of the Fourier transform in the spatial coordinates. The wave equation is coupled variable coefficients PDEs whose solutions may have significant in engineering applications. The method utilizes the second order ODE as the baseline for obtaining the complete solution. The solution of second order ODEs is expressed in one integration because the variable coefficients are broken down into several functions and resulted in first order reduction. Moreover, the coupled equations are performed by the order reduction of the higher order ODEs into the second order. The extended procedure for integral equation is implemented for the solutions from the transformed wave equations to generate the explicit expression. It is shown that the proposed method of integral evaluation is resulted in finding the roots of polynomials. Hence, it is concluded that the solvability of the elastic wave equations is ensured by the proposed method
