This book will give readers the possibility of finding very important mathematical tools for working with fractional models and solving fractional differential equations, such as a generalization of Stirling numbers in the framework of fractional calculus and a set of efficient numerical methods. Moreover, we will introduce some applied topics, in particular fractional variational methods which are used in physics, engineering or economics. We will also discuss the relationship between semi-Markov continuous-time random walks and the space-time fractional diffusion equation, which generalizes the usual theory relating random walks to the diffusion equation. These methods can be applied in finance, to model tick-by-tick (log)-price fluctuations, in insurance theory, to study ruin, as well as in macroeconomics as prototypical growth models.All these topics are complementary to what is dealt with in existing books on fractional calculus and its applications. This book will keep in mind the trade-off between full mathematical rigor and the needs of readers coming from different applied areas of science and engineering. In particular, the numerical methods listed in the book are presented in a readily accessible way that immediately allows the readers to implement them on a computer in a programming language of their choice.The second edition of the book has been expanded and now includes a discussion of additional, newly developed numerical methods for fractional calculus and a chapter on the application of fractional calculus for modeling processes in the life sciences.

The subject of fractional calculus and its applications (that is, convolution-type pseudo-differential operators including integrals and derivatives of any arbitrary real or complex order) has gained considerable popularity and importance during the past three decades or so, mainly due to its applications in diverse fields of science and engineering. These operators have been used to model problems with anomalous dynamics, however, they also are an effective tool as filters and controllers, and they can be applied to write complicated functions in terms of fractional integrals or derivatives of elementary functions, and so on.This book will give readers the possibility of finding very important mathematical tools for working with fractional models and solving fractional differential equations, such as a generalization of Stirling numbers in the framework of fractional calculus and a set of efficient numerical methods. Moreover, we will introduce some applied topics, in particular fractional variational methods which are used in physics, engineering or economics.

This book provides a comprehensive set of practical tools for exploring and discovering the world of fractional calculus and its applications, and thereby a means of bridging the theory of fractional differential equations (FDE) with real-world facts. These tools seamlessly blend centuries old numerical methods such as Gaussian quadrature that have stood the test of time with pioneering concepts such as hypermatrix equations to harness the emerging capabilities of modern scientific computing environments. This unique fusion of old and new leads to a unified approach that intuitively parallels the classic theory of differential equations, and results in methods that are unprecedented in computational speed and numerical accuracy. The opening chapter is an introduction to fractional calculus that is geared towards scientists and engineers. The following chapter introduces the reader to the key concepts of approximation theory with an emphasis on the tools of numerical linear algebra. The third chapter provides the keystone for the remainder of the book with a comprehensive set of methods for the approximation of fractional order integrals and derivatives. The fourth chapter describes the numerical solution of initial and boundary value problems for FDE of a single variable, both linear and nonlinear. Moving to two, three, and four dimensions, the ensuing chapter is devoted to a novel approach to the numerical solution of partial FDE that leverages the little-known one-to-one relation between partial differential equations and matrix and hypermatrix equations. The emphasis on applications culminates in the final chapter by addressing inverse problems for ordinary and partial FDE, such as smoothing for data analytics, and the all-important system identification problem. Over a century ago, scientists such as Ludwig Boltzmann and Vito Volterra formulated mathematical models of real materials that -- based on physical evidence -- integrated the history of the system. The present book will be invaluable to students and researchers in fields where analogous phenomena arise, such as viscoelasticity, rheology, polymer dynamics, non-Newtonian fluids, bioengineering, electrochemistry, non-conservative mechanics, groundwater hydrology, NMR and computed tomography, mathematical economics, thermomechanics, anomalous diffusion and transport, control theory, supercapacitors, and genetic algorithms, to name but a few. These investigators will be well-equipped with reproducible numerical methods to explore and discover their particular field of application of FDE.

This book provides a broad overview of the latest developments in fractional calculus and fractional differential equations (FDEs) with an aim to motivate the readers to venture into these areas. It also presents original research describing the fractional operators of variable order, fractional-order delay differential equations, chaos and related phenomena in detail. Selected results on the stability of solutions of nonlinear dynamical systems of the non-commensurate fractional order have also been included. Furthermore, artificial neural network and fractional differential equations are elaborated on; and new transform methods (for example, Sumudu methods) and how they can be employed to solve fractional partial differential equations are discussed. The book covers the latest research on a variety of topics, including: comparison of various numerical methods for solving FDEs, the Adomian decomposition method and its applications to fractional versions of the classical Poisson processes, variable-order fractional operators, fractional variational principles, fractional delay differential equations, fractional-order dynamical systems and stability analysis, inequalities and comparison theorems in FDEs, artificial neural network approximation for fractional operators, and new transform methods for solving partial FDEs. Given its scope and level of detail, the book will be an invaluable asset for researchers working in these areas.

In the last two decades, fractional (or non integer) differentiation has played a very important role in various fields such as mechanics, electricity, chemistry, biology, economics, control theory and signal and image processing. For example, in the last three fields, some important considerations such as modelling, curve fitting, filtering, pattern recognition, edge detection, identification, stability, controllability, observability and robustness are now linked to long-range dependence phenomena. Similar progress has been made in other fields listed here. The scope of the book is thus to present the state of the art in the study of fractional systems and the application of fractional differentiation. As this volume covers recent applications of fractional calculus, it will be of interest to engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians.
