Abstract

Purpose

In this article, the authors aims to introduce a novel Vieta–Lucas wavelets method by generalizing the Vieta–Lucas polynomials for the numerical solutions of fractional linear and non-linear delay differential equations on semi-infinite interval.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors have worked on the development of the operational matrices for the Vieta–Lucas wavelets and their RiemannLiouville fractional integral, and these matrices are successfully utilized for the solution of fractional linear and non-linear delay differential equations on semi-infinite interval. The method which authors have introduced in the current paper utilizes the operational matrices of Vieta–Lucas wavelets to converts the fractional delay differential equations (FDDEs) into a system of algebraic equations. For non-linear FDDE, the authors utilize the quasilinearization technique in conjunction with the Vieta–Lucas wavelets method.

Findings

The purpose of utilizing the new operational matrices is to make the method more efficient, because the operational matrices contains many zero entries. Authors have worked out on both error and convergence analysis of the present method. Procedure of implementation for FDDE is also provided. Furthermore, numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the reliability and accuracy of the method.

Originality/value

Many engineers or scientist can utilize the present method for solving their ordinary or Caputo–fractional differential models. To the best of authors’ knowledge, the present work has not been used or introduced for the considered type of differential equations.

With regard to this nonlinear boundary value problem, three popular fixed point theorems, namely, Krasnoselskii’s theorem, Leray–Schauder’s theorem and Banach contraction principle, are employed to theoretically prove and guarantee three novel theorems. The main outcomes of this work are verified and confirmed via several numerical examples.

Abstract

Purpose

In this paper, the formulation and analytic solutions for fractional continuously variable order dynamic models, namely, fractional continuously mass-spring damper (continuously variable fractional order) systems, have been presented. The authors will demonstrate via two cases where the frictional damping given by fractional derivative, the order of which varies continuously – while the mass moves in a guide. Here, the continuously changing nature of the fractional-order derivative for dynamic systems has been studied for the first time. The solutions of the fractional continuously variable order mass-spring damper systems have been presented here by using a successive recursive method, and the closed form of the solutions has been obtained. By using graphical plots, the nature of the solutions has been discussed for the different cases of continuously variable fractional order of damping force for oscillator. The purpose of the paper is to formulate the continuously variable order mass-spring damper systems and find their analytical solutions by successive recursion method.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors have used the viscoelastic and viscous – viscoelastic dampers for describing the damping nature of the oscillating systems, where the order of the fractional derivative varies continuously.

Findings

By using the successive recursive method, here, the authors find the solution of the fractional continuously variable order mass-spring damper systems, and then obtain close-form solutions. The authors then present and discuss the solutions obtained in the cases with the continuously variable order of damping for an oscillator through graphical plots.

Originality/value

Formulation of fractional continuously variable order dynamic models has been described. Fractional continuous variable order mass-spring damper systems have been analysed. A new approach to find solutions of the aforementioned dynamic models has been established. Viscoelastic and viscous – viscoelastic dampers are described. The discussed damping nature of the oscillating systems has not been studied yet.

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 classical integer derivative diffusionmodels for fluid flow within a channel of parallel walls, for heat transfer within a rectangular fin and for impulsive acceleration of a quiescent Newtonian fluid within a circular pipe are initially generalized by introducing fractional derivatives. The purpose of this paper is to represent solutions as steady and transient parts. Afterward, making use of separation of variables, a fractional Sturm–Liouville eigenvalue task is posed whose eigenvalues and eigenfunctions enable us to write down the transient solution in the Fourier series involving also Mittag–Leffler function. An alternative solution based on the Laplace transform method is also provided.

Design/methodology/approach

In this work, an analytical formulation is presented concerning the transient and passage to steady state in fluid flow and heat transfer within the diffusion fractional models.

Findings

From the closed-form solutions, it is clear to visualize the start-up process of physical diffusion phenomena in fractional order models. In particular, impacts of fractional derivative in different time regimes are clarified, namely, the early time zone of acceleration, the transition zone and the late time regime of deceleration.

Originality/value

With the newly developing field of fractional calculus, the classical heat and mass transfer analysis has been modified to account for the fractional order derivative concept.

In this paper, we study a Cauchy-type problem for Hilfer fractional integrodifferential equations with boundary conditions. The existence of solutions for the given problem is proved by applying measure of noncompactness technique in an abstract weighted space. Moreover, we use generalized Gronwall inequality with singularity to establish continuous dependence and uniqueness of ϵ-approximate solutions.
