and of the integration operator [Note 1]

and developing a calculus for such operators generalizing the classical one.

In this context, the term powers refers to iterative application of a linear operator to a function , that is, repeatedly composing with itself, as in

For example, one may ask for a meaningful interpretation of

as an analogue of the functional square root for the differentiation operator, that is, an expression for some linear operator that, when applied twice to any function, will have the same effect as differentiation. More generally, one can look at the question of defining a linear operator

for every real number in such a way that, when takes an integer value , it coincides with the usual -fold differentiation if , and with the -th power of when .

One of the motivations behind the introduction and study of these sorts of extensions of the differentiation operator is that the sets of operator powers defined in this way are continuous semigroups with parameter , of which the original discrete semigroup of for integer is a denumerable subgroup: since continuous semigroups have a well developed mathematical theory, they can be applied to other branches of mathematics.

Fractional differential equations, also known as extraordinary differential equations, [1] are a generalization of differential equations through the application of fractional calculus.

Historical notes

In applied mathematics and mathematical analysis, a fractional derivative is a derivative of any arbitrary order, real or complex. Its first appearance is in a letter written to Guillaume de l'Hôpital by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1695. [2]  Around the same time, Leibniz wrote to one of the Bernoulli brothers describing the similarity between the binomial theorem and the Leibniz rule for the fractional derivative of a product of two functions.[ citation needed ]  Fractional calculus was introduced in one of Niels Henrik Abel's early papers [3] where all the elements can be found: the idea of fractional-order integration and differentiation, the mutually inverse relationship between them, the understanding that fractional-order differentiation and integration can be considered as the same generalized operation, and even the unified notation for differentiation and integration of arbitrary real order. [4] Independently, the foundations of the subject were laid by Liouville in a paper from 1832. [5] [6] [7] The autodidact Oliver Heaviside introduced the practical use of fractional differential operators in electrical transmission line analysis circa 1890. [8] The theory and applications of fractional calculus expanded greatly over the 19th and 20th centuries, and numerous contributors have given different definitions for fractional derivatives and integrals. [9]

Nature of the fractional derivative

The -th derivative of a function at a point is a local property only when is an integer; this is not the case for non-integer power derivatives. In other words, a non-integer fractional derivative of at depends on all values of , even those far away from . Therefore, it is expected that the fractional derivative operation involves some sort of boundary conditions, involving information on the function further out. [10]

The fractional derivative of a function of order is nowadays often defined by means of the Fourier or Mellin integral transforms.[ citation needed ]

Heuristics

A fairly natural question to ask is whether there exists a linear operator H, or half-derivative, such that

It turns out that there is such an operator, and indeed for any a > 0, there exists an operator P such that

or to put it another way, the definition of can be extended to all real values of n.

Unfortunately the process for obtaining such fractional derivative operator D, even for just H^2, goes beyond the possibilities of this page [11] .

However, the case of the fractional integral operator is simpler:

Let f(x) be a function defined for x > 0. Form the definite integral from 0 to x. Call this

Repeating this process gives

and this can be extended arbitrarily.

The Cauchy formula for repeated integration, namely

leads in a straightforward way to a generalization for real n.

Using the gamma function to remove the discrete nature of the factorial function gives us a natural candidate for fractional applications of the integral operator.

This is in fact a well-defined operator.

It is straightforward to show that the J operator satisfies

Proof of this identity

where in the last step we exchanged the order of integration and pulled out the f(s) factor from the t integration.

Changing variables to r defined by t = s + (xs)r,

The inner integral is the beta function which satisfies the following property:

Substituting back into the equation:

Interchanging α and β shows that the order in which the J operator is applied is irrelevant and completes the proof.

This relationship is called the semigroup property of fractional differintegral operators. Unfortunately, the comparable process for the derivative operator D is significantly more complex, but it can be shown that D is neither commutative nor additive in general. [12]

Fractional integrals

Riemann–Liouville fractional integral

The classical form of fractional calculus is given by the Riemann–Liouville integral, which is essentially what has been described above. The theory of fractional integration for periodic functions (therefore including the "boundary condition" of repeating after a period) is given by the Weyl integral. It is defined on Fourier series, and requires the constant Fourier coefficient to vanish (thus, it applies to functions on the unit circle whose integrals evaluate to zero). The Riemann–Liouville integral exists in two forms, upper and lower. Considering the interval [a,b], the integrals are defined as

Where the former is valid for t > a and the latter is valid for t < b. [13]

It has been suggested [14] that the integral on the positive real axis (i.e. ) would be more appropriately named the Abel–Riemann integral, on the basis of history of discovery and use, and in the same vein the integral over the entire real line be named Liouville–Weyl integral.

By contrast the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative starts with the derivative instead of the integral.

Hadamard fractional integral

The Hadamard fractional integral was introduced by Jacques Hadamard [15] and is given by the following formula,

Atangana–Baleanu fractional integral

The Atangana–Baleanu fractional integral of a continuous function is defined as:

Fractional derivatives

Unlike classical Newtonian derivatives, fractional derivatives can be defined in a variety of different ways that often do not all lead to the same result even for smooth functions. Some of these are defined via a fractional integral. Because of the incompatibility of definitions, it is frequently necessary to be explicit about which definition is used.

Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative

The corresponding derivative is calculated using Lagrange's rule for differential operators. Computing nth order derivative over the integral of order (nα), the α order derivative is obtained. It is important to remark that n is the smallest integer greater than α (that is, n = ⌈α). The Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative and integral has multiple applications such as in case of solutions to the equation in the case of multiple systems such as the tokamak systems, and Variable order fractional parameter. [16] [17] Similar to the definitions for the Riemann–Liouville integral, the derivative has upper and lower variants. [18]

Caputo fractional derivative

Another option for computing fractional derivatives is the Caputo fractional derivative. It was introduced by Michele Caputo in his 1967 paper. [19] In contrast to the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative, when solving differential equations using Caputo's definition, it is not necessary to define the fractional order initial conditions. Caputo's definition is illustrated as follows, where again n = ⌈α:

There is the Caputo fractional derivative defined as:

which has the advantage that is zero when f(t) is constant and its Laplace Transform is expressed by means of the initial values of the function and its derivative. Moreover, there is the Caputo fractional derivative of distributed order defined as

where ϕ(ν) is a weight function and which is used to represent mathematically the presence of multiple memory formalisms.

Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative

In a paper of 2015, M. Caputo and M. Fabrizio presented a definition of fractional derivative with a non singular kernel, for a function of given by:

where . [20]

Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative

In 2016, Atangana and Baleanu suggested differential operators based on the generalized Mittag-Leffler function. The aim was to introduce fractional differential operators with non-singular nonlocal kernel. Their fractional differential operators are given below in Riemann–Liouville sense and Caputo sense respectively. For a function of given by [21] [22]

If the function is continuous, the Atangana–Baleanu derivative in Riemann–Liouville sense is given by:

The kernel used in Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative has some properties of a cumulative distribution function.  For example, for all , the function is increasing on the real line, converges to in , and . Therefore, we have that, the function is the cumulative distribution function of a probability measure on the positive real numbers. The distribution is therefore defined, and any of its multiples, is called a Mittag-Leffler distribution of order . It is also very well-known that, all these probability distributions are absolutely continuous. In particular, the function Mittag-Leffler has a particular case , which is the exponential function, the Mittag-Leffler distribution of order is therefore an exponential distribution. However, for , the Mittag-Leffler distributions are heavy-tailed. Their Laplace transform is given by:

This directly implies that, for , the expectation is infinite. In addition, these distributions are geometric stable distributions.

Riesz derivative

The Riesz derivative is defined as

where denotes the Fourier transform. [23] [24]

Other types

Classical fractional derivatives include:

New fractional derivatives include:

Generalizations

Erdélyi–Kober operator

The Erdélyi–Kober operator is an integral operator introduced by Arthur Erdélyi (1940). [33] and Hermann Kober (1940) [34] and is given by

which generalizes the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and the Weyl integral.

Functional calculus

In the context of functional analysis, functions f(D) more general than powers are studied in the functional calculus of spectral theory. The theory of pseudo-differential operators also allows one to consider powers of D. The operators arising are examples of singular integral operators; and the generalisation of the classical theory to higher dimensions is called the theory of Riesz potentials. So there are a number of contemporary theories available, within which fractional calculus can be discussed. See also Erdélyi–Kober operator, important in special function theory ( Kober 1940 ), ( Erdélyi 1950–1951 ).

Applications

Fractional conservation of mass

As described by Wheatcraft and Meerschaert (2008), [35] a fractional conservation of mass equation is needed to model fluid flow when the control volume is not large enough compared to the scale of heterogeneity and when the flux within the control volume is non-linear. In the referenced paper, the fractional conservation of mass equation for fluid flow is:

Electrochemical analysis

When studying the redox behavior of a substrate in solution, a voltage is applied at an electrode surface to force electron transfer between electrode and substrate. The resulting electron transfer is measured as a current. The current depends upon the concentration of substrate at the electrode surface. As substrate is consumed, fresh substrate diffuses to the electrode as described by Fick's laws of diffusion. Taking the Laplace transform of Fick's second law yields an ordinary second-order differential equation (here in dimensionless form):

whose solution C(x,s) contains a one-half power dependence on s. Taking the derivative of C(x,s) and then the inverse Laplace transform yields the following relationship:

which relates the concentration of substrate at the electrode surface to the current. [36] This relationship is applied in electrochemical kinetics to elucidate mechanistic behavior. For example, it has been used to study the rate of dimerization of substrates upon electrochemical reduction. [37]

Groundwater flow problem

In 2013–2014 Atangana et al. described some groundwater flow problems using the concept of a derivative with fractional order. [38] [39] In these works, the classical Darcy law is generalized by regarding the water flow as a function of a non-integer order derivative of the piezometric head. This generalized law and the law of conservation of mass are then used to derive a new equation for groundwater flow.

Fractional advection dispersion equation

This equation[ clarification needed ] has been shown useful for modeling contaminant flow in heterogenous porous media. [40] [41] [42]

Atangana and Kilicman extended the fractional advection dispersion equation to a variable order equation. In their work, the hydrodynamic dispersion equation was generalized using the concept of a variational order derivative. The modified equation was numerically solved via the Crank–Nicolson method. The stability and convergence in numerical simulations showed that the modified equation is more reliable in predicting the movement of pollution in deformable aquifers than equations with constant fractional and integer derivatives [43]

Time-space fractional diffusion equation models

Anomalous diffusion processes in complex media can be well characterized by using fractional-order diffusion equation models. [44] [45] The time derivative term corresponds to long-time heavy tail decay and the spatial derivative for diffusion nonlocality. The time-space fractional diffusion governing equation can be written as

A simple extension of the fractional derivative is the variable-order fractional derivative, α and β are changed into α(x, t) and β(x, t). Its applications in anomalous diffusion modeling can be found in the reference. [43] [46] [47]

Structural damping models

Fractional derivatives are used to model viscoelastic damping in certain types of materials like polymers. [14]

PID controllers

Generalizing PID controllers to use fractional orders can increase their degree of freedom. The new equation relating the control variableu(t) in terms of a measured error valuee(t) can be written as

where α and β are positive fractional orders and Kp, Ki, and Kd, all non-negative, denote the coefficients for the proportional, integral, and derivative terms, respectively (sometimes denoted P, I, and D). [48]

Acoustic wave equations for complex media

The propagation of acoustical waves in complex media, such as in biological tissue, commonly implies attenuation obeying a frequency power-law. This kind of phenomenon may be described using a causal wave equation which incorporates fractional time derivatives:

See also Holm & Näsholm (2011) [49] and the references therein. Such models are linked to the commonly recognized hypothesis that multiple relaxation phenomena give rise to the attenuation measured in complex media. This link is further described in Näsholm & Holm (2011b) [50] and in the survey paper, [51] as well as the Acoustic attenuation article. See Holm & Nasholm (2013) [52] for a paper which compares fractional wave equations which model power-law attenuation. This book on power-law attenuation also covers the topic in more detail. [53]

Pandey and Holm gave a physical meaning to fractional differential equations by deriving them from physical principles and interpreting the fractional-order in terms of the parameters of the acoustical media, example in fluid-saturated granular unconsolidated marine sediments. [54] Interestingly, Pandey and Holm derived Lomnitz's law in seismology and Nutting's law in non-Newtonian rheology using the framework of fractional calculus. [55] Nutting's law was used to model the wave propagation in marine sediments using fractional derivatives. [54]

Fractional Schrödinger equation in quantum theory

The fractional Schrödinger equation, a fundamental equation of fractional quantum mechanics, has the following form: [56] [57]

where the solution of the equation is the wavefunction ψ(r, t) – the quantum mechanical probability amplitude for the particle to have a given position vector r at any given time t, and ħ is the reduced Planck constant. The potential energy function V(r, t) depends on the system.

Further, is the Laplace operator, and Dα is a scale constant with physical dimension [Dα] = J1 − α·mα·sα = kg1 − α·m2 − α·sα − 2, (at α = 2, for a particle of mass m), and the operator (−ħ2Δ)α/2 is the 3-dimensional fractional quantum Riesz derivative defined by

The index α in the fractional Schrödinger equation is the Lévy index, 1 < α ≤ 2.

Variable-order fractional Schrödinger equation

As a natural generalization of the fractional Schrödinger equation, the variable-order fractional Schrödinger equation has been exploited to study fractional quantum phenomena: [58]

where is the Laplace operator and the operator (−ħ2Δ)β(t)/2 is the variable-order fractional quantum Riesz derivative.

The derivative is a fundamental tool of calculus that quantifies the sensitivity of change of a function's output with respect to its input. The derivative of a function of a single variable at a chosen input value, when it exists, is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point. The tangent line is the best linear approximation of the function near that input value. For this reason, the derivative is often described as the instantaneous rate of change, the ratio of the instantaneous change in the dependent variable to that of the independent variable. The process of finding a derivative is called differentiation.

In mathematical analysis, the Dirac delta function, also known as the unit impulse, is a generalized function on the real numbers, whose value is zero everywhere except at zero, and whose integral over the entire real line is equal to one. Since there is no function having this property, to model the delta "function" rigorously involves the use of limits or, as is common in mathematics, measure theory and the theory of distributions.

In mathematics, the covariant derivative is a way of specifying a derivative along tangent vectors of a manifold. Alternatively, the covariant derivative is a way of introducing and working with a connection on a manifold by means of a differential operator, to be contrasted with the approach given by a principal connection on the frame bundle – see affine connection. In the special case of a manifold isometrically embedded into a higher-dimensional Euclidean space, the covariant derivative can be viewed as the orthogonal projection of the Euclidean directional derivative onto the manifold's tangent space. In this case the Euclidean derivative is broken into two parts, the extrinsic normal component and the intrinsic covariant derivative component.

A directional derivative is a concept in multivariable calculus that measures the rate at which a function changes in a particular direction at a given point.

In mathematics, the Riemann–Liouville integral associates with a real function another function Iαf of the same kind for each value of the parameter α > 0. The integral is a manner of generalization of the repeated antiderivative of f in the sense that for positive integer values of α, Iαf is an iterated antiderivative of f of order α. The Riemann–Liouville integral is named for Bernhard Riemann and Joseph Liouville, the latter of whom was the first to consider the possibility of fractional calculus in 1832. The operator agrees with the Euler transform, after Leonhard Euler, when applied to analytic functions. It was generalized to arbitrary dimensions by Marcel Riesz, who introduced the Riesz potential.

In applied mathematics and mathematical analysis, the fractal derivative or Hausdorff derivative is a non-Newtonian generalization of the derivative dealing with the measurement of fractals, defined in fractal geometry. Fractal derivatives were created for the study of anomalous diffusion, by which traditional approaches fail to factor in the fractal nature of the media. A fractal measure t is scaled according to tα. Such a derivative is local, in contrast to the similarly applied fractional derivative. Fractal calculus is formulated as a generalization of standard calculus.

In the fields of dynamical systems and control theory, a fractional-order system is a dynamical system that can be modeled by a fractional differential equation containing derivatives of non-integer order. Such systems are said to have fractional dynamics. Derivatives and integrals of fractional orders are used to describe objects that can be characterized by power-law nonlocality, power-law long-range dependence or fractal properties. Fractional-order systems are useful in studying the anomalous behavior of dynamical systems in physics, electrochemistry, biology, viscoelasticity and chaotic systems.

In mathematics, Katugampola fractional operators are integral operators that generalize the Riemann–Liouville and the Hadamard fractional operators into a unique form. The Katugampola fractional integral generalizes both the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and the Hadamard fractional integral into a single form and It is also closely related to the Erdelyi–Kober operator that generalizes the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral. Katugampola fractional derivative has been defined using the Katugampola fractional integral and as with any other fractional differential operator, it also extends the possibility of taking real number powers or complex number powers of the integral and differential operators.
