Calculus of variations with fractional derivatives and fractional integrals [PDF]
We prove Euler-Lagrange fractional equations and sufficient optimality conditions for problems of the calculus of variations with functionals containing both fractional derivatives and fractional integrals in the sense of Riemann-Liouville.

Fractional calculus in mathematical oncology [PDF]
AbstractEven though, nowadays, cancer is one of the leading causes of death, too little is known about the behavior of this disease due to its unpredictability from one patient to another. Classical mathematical models of tumor growth have shaped our understanding of cancer and have broad practical implications for treatment scheduling and dosage ...

Fractional Calculus and the Future of Science [PDF]
The invitation to contribute to this anthology of articles on the fractional calculus (FC) encouraged submissions in which the authors look behind the mathematics and examine what must be true about the phenomenon to justify the replacement of an integer-order derivative with a non-integer-order (fractional) derivative (FD) before discussing ways to ...

Tempered fractional calculus [PDF]
Fractional derivatives and integrals are convolutions with a power law. Multiplying by an exponential factor leads to tempered fractional derivatives and integrals. Tempered fractional diffusion equations, where the usual second derivative in space is replaced by a tempered fractional derivative, govern the limits of random walk models with an ...

Calculus of Variations with Classical and Fractional Derivatives [PDF]
We give a proper fractional extension of the classical calculus of variations. Necessary optimality conditions of Euler-Lagrange type for variational problems containing both classical and fractional derivatives are proved. The fundamental problem of the

Fractional calculus in pharmacokinetics [PDF]
We are witnessing the birth of a new variety of pharmacokinetics where non-integer-order differential equations are employed to study the time course of drugs in the body: this is dubbed "fractional pharmacokinetics." The presence of fractional kinetics has important clinical implications such as the lack of a half-life, observed, for example with the ...

On Weyl fractional calculus [PDF]
The Weyl fractional calculus is applied in developing the Laplace transform of t q f ( t ) {t^q}f(t) , for all values of q. Also, a generalized Taylor’s formula in Weyl fractional calculus is established.

Complexity and the Fractional Calculus [PDF]
We study complex processes whose evolution in time rests on the occurrence of a large and random number of events. The mean time interval between two consecutive critical events is infinite, thereby violating the ergodic condition and activating at the same time a stochastic central limit theorem that supports the hypothesis that the Mittag-Leffler ...
