Modeling and parameter estimation for fractional large‐scale interconnected Hammerstein systems

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper addresses the challenge of modeling and identifying large‐scale interconnected systems exhibiting memory effects, hereditary properties, and non‐local interactions. We propose a fractional‐order extension of the Hammerstein architecture that incorporates Grünwald–Letnikov operators to capture complex dynamics through multiple ...

A survey on fuzzy fractional differential and optimal control nonlocal evolution equations

, 2017
We survey some representative results on fuzzy fractional differential equations, controllability, approximate controllability, optimal control, and optimal feedback control for several different kinds of fractional evolution equations.

Critical Discourse Analysis in Corporate Reports: Legitimation Strategies in the Context of Environmental Controversies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the use of environmental disclosure as a strategic tool to manage legitimacy crises in a mining company, adopting critical discourse analysis (CDA) as the main methodology. Focusing on a case of environmental disaster, this research reveals how corporate narratives can be manipulated to minimize responsibility and reinforce

Analytical solution of the time fractional Navier-Stokes equation

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2018
In this paper we will use the residual power series (RPS) method to generate the solution of the nonlinear time fractional Navier-Stokes equation in two dimensions in the form of a rapidly convergent series, where we adopted the definition of Caputo to ...

Walking the Tightrope of Sustainability Reporting Standardization: Insights From Italian Small and Medium‐Sized Enterprises

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the challenges and support needs of small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in adopting standardized sustainability reporting, taking the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) as an empirical case of formal standardization.

A Fractional Complex Permittivity Model of Media with Dielectric Relaxation

Fractal and Fractional, 2017
In this work, we propose a fractional complex permittivity model of dielectric media with memory. Debye’s generalized equation, expressed in terms of the phenomenological coefficients, is replaced with the corresponding differential equation by applying ...

Appraising Policies Through Social Multi‐Criteria Evaluation: Lessons From a Systematic Review of Applications

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to renewed interest in analytical tools that address complex policy problems and move beyond linear‐rational approaches in policy appraisal, Social Multi‐Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) integrates participatory approaches with multi‐criteria analysis (MCA), thereby incorporating specialised knowledge and diverse social values and ...

All the bedrooms a stage: Reconceptualizing sex as “performance” to sex as “rehearsal”

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the United States, sex is often spoken about in terms of performance, and naturally invokes language of theatricality. Sexual performance has been used as an umbrella term to refer to sexual satisfaction, behavior, embodiment, and also pathology in terms of conditions such as erectile dysfunction.

A new error estimate of a finite difference scheme for a fractional transport-advection equation with zero order term

Alexandria Engineering Journal
In this work, we propose a finite difference scheme for Caputo’s fractional derivative transport equation in time and space, with a zero-order term. A new error estimation of the approximate solution has been demonstrated. By introducing an approximation

Fractional differential equations solved by using Mellin transform

, 2014
In this paper, the solution of the multi-order differential equations, by using Mellin Transform, is proposed. It is shown that the problem related to the shift of the real part of the argument of the transformed function, arising when the Mellin ...
