Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel nonlocal fractal calculus scheme dedicated to the analysis of fractal electrical circuit, namely, the generalized nonlocal fractal calculus.

Design/methodology/approach

For being generalized, an arbitrary kernel function has been adopted. The condition on order has been derived so that it is not related to the γ-dimension of the fractal set. The fractal Laplace transforms of our operators have been derived.

Findings

Unlike the traditional power law kernel-based nonlocal fractal calculus operators, ours are generalized, consistent with the local fractal derivative and use higher degree of freedom. As intended, the proposed nonlocal fractal calculus is applicable to any kind of fractal electrical circuit. Thus, it has been found to be a more efficient tool for the fractal electrical circuit analysis than any previous fractal set dedicated calculus scheme.

Originality/value

A fractal calculus scheme that is more efficient for the fractal electrical circuit analysis than any previous ones has been proposed in this work.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to apply the fractional sub-equation method to research on coupled fractional variant Boussinesq equation and fractional approximate long water wave equation.

Design/methodology/approach

The algorithm is implemented with the aid of fractional Ricatti equation and the symbol computational system Mathematica.

Findings

New travelling wave solutions, which include generalized hyperbolic function solutions, generalized trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions, for these two equations are obtained.

Originality/value

The algorithm is demonstrated to be direct and precise, and can be used for many other nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. The fractional derivatives described in this paper are in the Jumarie's modified Riemann-Liouville sense.

This study aims to propose a new numerical method for solving non-linear partial differential equations on irregular domains.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to propose a new numerical method for solving non-linear partial differential equations on irregular domains.

Design/methodology/approach

The main aim of the current paper is to propose a local meshless collocation method to solve the two-dimensional Klein-Kramers equation with a fractional derivative in the Riemann-Liouville sense, in the time term. This equation describes the sub-diffusion in the presence of an external force field in phase space.

Findings

First, the authors use two finite difference schemes to discrete temporal variables and then the radial basis function-differential quadrature method has been used to estimate the spatial direction. To discrete the time-variable, the authors use two different strategies with convergence orders O(τ1+γ) and O(τ2γ) for 0 < γ < 1. Finally, some numerical examples have been presented to show the high accuracy and acceptable results of the proposed technique.

Originality/value

The proposed numerical technique is flexible for different computational domains.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to compare the suitability of fractional derivatives in the modelling of practical capacitors. Such suitability refers to ability to provide the analytical capacitance function that matches the experimental ones of each fractional derivative.

Design/methodology/approach

The analytical capacitance functions based on various fractional derivatives of both local and nonlocal types including the author’s have been derived. The derived capacitance functions have been simulated and compared with the experimental ones of aluminium electrolytic and electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs).

Findings

This paper has found that any local fractional derivative with fractional power law-based relationship with the conventional one is suitable for modelling the aluminium electrolytic capacitor (AEC) by incorporating with the conventional capacitance definition. On the other hand, the author’s nonlocal fractional derivatives have been found to be more suitable than the others for modelling the EDLC by incorporating with the revisited definition of capacitance.

Originality/value

The proposed comparative analysis has been originally presented in this work. The criterion for local fractional derivative, to be suitable for modelling the AEC, has been found. The nonlocal fractional operators which are most suitable for modelling the EDLC have been derived where the unsuitable one has been pointed out.

The purpose of this paper is to find the solution for special cases of regular-long wave equations with fractional order using q-homotopy analysis transform method (q-HATM).

Design/methodology/approach

The proposed technique (q-HATM) is the graceful amalgamations of Laplace transform technique with q-homotopy analysis scheme and fractional derivative defined with Atangana-Baleanu (AB) operator.

Findings

The fixed point hypothesis considered to demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of the obtained solution for the proposed fractional-order model. To illustrate and validate the efficiency of the future technique, the authors analysed the projected nonlinear equations in terms of fractional order. Moreover, the physical behaviour of the obtained solution has been captured in terms of plots for diverse fractional order.

Originality/value

To illustrate and validate the efficiency of the future technique, we analysed the projected nonlinear equations in terms of fractional order. Moreover, the physical behaviour of the obtained solution has been captured in terms of plots for diverse fractional order. The obtained results elucidate that, the proposed algorithm is easy to implement, highly methodical, as well as accurate and very effective to analyse the behaviour of nonlinear differential equations of fractional order arisen in the connected areas of science and engineering.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate viscoelastic properties for the constitutive equation in terms of distributed-order derivatives.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors considered the steady oscillatory shear flow between two parallel plates (one is fixed and another oscillates in its own plane), and then examined the effects of different forms of the order-weight functions.

Findings

The constitutive equation in terms of distributed-order derivatives can characterize viscoelastic properties. The order-weight functions can effectively describe viscoelasticity.

Originality/value

Model the viscoelastic constitutive equation in terms of distributed-order derivatives, where order-weight functions can select to respond viscoelastic properties.

Abstract

Purpose

The current analysis produces the fractional sample of non-Newtonian Casson and Williamson boundary layer flow considering the heat flux and the slip velocity. An extended sheet with a nonuniform thickness causes the steady boundary layer flow’s temperature and velocity fields. Our purpose in this research is to use Akbari Ganji method (AGM) to solve equations and compare the accuracy of this method with the spectral collocation method.

Design/methodology/approach

The trial polynomials that will be utilized to carry out the AGM are then used to solve the nonlinear governing system of the PDEs, which has been transformed into a nonlinear collection of linked ODEs.

Findings

The profile of temperature and dimensionless velocity for different parameters were displayed graphically. Also, the effect of two different parameters simultaneously on the temperature is displayed in three dimensions. The results demonstrate that the skin-friction coefficient rises with growing magnetic numbers, whereas the Casson and the local Williamson parameters show reverse manners.

Originality/value

Moreover, the usefulness and precision of the presented approach are pleasing, as can be seen by comparing the results with previous research. Also, the calculated solutions utilizing the provided procedure were physically sufficient and precise.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to introduce a new numerical approach based on the local weak form and the Petrov–Galerkin idea to numerically simulation of a predator–prey system with two-species, two chemicals and an additional chemotactic influence.

Design/methodology/approach

In the first proceeding, the space derivatives are discretized by using the direct meshless local Petrov–Galerkin method. This generates a nonlinear algebraic system of equations. The mentioned system is solved by using the Broyden’s method which this technique is not related to compute the Jacobian matrix.

Findings

This current work tries to bring forward a trustworthy and flexible numerical algorithm to simulate the system of predator–prey on the nonrectangular geometries.

Originality/value

The proposed numerical results confirm that the numerical procedure has acceptable results for the system of partial differential equations.
