An Alternative Method for Solving a Certain Class of Fractional Kinetic Equations

An alternative method for solving the fractional kinetic equations solved earlier by Haubold and Mathai (2000) and Saxena et al. (2002, 2004a, 2004b) is recently given by Saxena and Kalla (2007). This method can also be applied in solving more general fractional kinetic equations than the ones solved by the aforesaid authors. In view of the usefulness and importance of the kinetic equation in certain physical problems governing reaction-diffusion in complex systems and anomalous diffusion, the authors present an alternative simple method for deriving the solution of the generalized forms of the fractional kinetic equations solved by the aforesaid authors and Nonnenmacher and Metzler (1995). The method depends on the use of the Riemann-Liouville fractional calculus operators. It has been shown by the application of Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator and its interesting properties, that the solution of the given fractional kinetic equation can be obtained in a straight-forward manner. This method does not make use of the Laplace transform.Comment: 7 pages, LaTe

Fractional Right Local General M-Derivative

Here is introduced and studied the right fractional local general M-derivative of various orders. All basic properties of an ordinary derivative are established here. We also define the corresponding right fractional M-integrals. Important theorems are established such as: the inversion theorem, the fundamental theorem of fractional calculus, the mean value theorem, the extended mean value theorem, the right fractional Taylor’s formula with integral remainder, the integration by parts

Fractional Left Local General M-Derivative

Here is introduced and studied the left fractional local general M-derivative of various orders. All basic properties of an ordinary derivative are established here. We also define the corresponding left fractional M-integrals. Important theorems are established such as: the inversion theorem, the fundamental theorem of fractional calculus, the mean value theorem, the extended mean value theorem, the Taylor’s formula with integral remainder, the integration by parts. Our left fractional derivative generalizes the alternative fractional derivative and the local M-fractional derivative. See also [3]

Reliable analysis for the nonlinear fractional calculus model of the semilunar heart valve vibrations

WOS: 000285931900002The aim of this paper is to solve the equation of motion of semilunar heart valve vibrations using the homotopy perturbation method. The vibrations of the closed semilunar valves were modeled with fractional derivatives. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The methods give an analytic solution in the form of a convergent series with easily computable components, requiring no linearization or small perturbation. Analytical solution is obtained for the equation of motion in terms of Mittag-Leffler function with the help of Laplace transformation. These solutions can be interesting for a better fit of experimental data. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
