Special Issue on " Fractional Dynamics: Theory and Applications "

--- in the Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment

http://iopscience.iop.org/1742-5468/focus/extra.special5

 (Contributed by Prof. Yong Zhou)

Fractional Calculus is simultaneously a new and old research issue. During the few decades, fractional calculus has been recognized as one of the best tools to describe long-memory processes. Such models are interesting for physicists and dynamicists but also for mathematicians. The most important among such models are those described by complex systems containing fractional derivatives. Their evolutions behave in a much more complex way than in the classical integer-order case. The objective of this special issue is to report and review the latest progresses in the field of fractional dynamics, which covers fractional statistical mechanics, fractional quantum dynamics and related topics. We hope that one can learn the recent developments from the special issue, including theoretical, numerical and experimental results in this area.

Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment is published by IOP, indexed in SCI with impact factor: 1.866.

Special Issue on "New Challenges in Fractional Systems 2014 (NCFS14)"

 (contributed by Prof. Guido Maione)

Fractional order differentiation consists in the generalization of classical integer differentiation to real or complex orders. From a mathematical point of view, several interpretations of fractional differentiation were proposed, but there is still a deep debate about it. The fractional differentiation and fractional integration are nonlocal operations based on an integral with a singular kernel. This explains why these operators are still not well defined and that several definitions still coexist. Since the first recorded reference work in 1695 up to the present day, many papers have been published on this subject, but much progress still to be done particularly on the relationship of these different definitions with the physical reality of a system.

A fractional order system is a system described by an integrodifferential equation involving fractional order derivatives of its input(s) and/or output(s). From a physical point of view, linear fractional derivatives and integrals order systems are not classical linear systems and not quite conventional distributed parameter systems. They are in fact halfway between these two classes of systems and are a modelling tool well suited to a wide class of phenomena with nonstandard dynamic behaviour, and the applications of fractional order systems are now well accepted in the following disciplines. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Signal processing (filtering, restoration, reconstruction, analysis of fractal noises, etc.)
• Image processing (fractal environment modelling, pattern recognition, edge detection, etc.)
• Economy (analysis of stock exchange signals, etc.)
• Electrical engineering (modelling of motors, transformers, skin effect, etc.)
• Electronics, telecommunications (phase locking loops, etc.)
• Electromagnetism (modelling of complex dielectric materials, etc.)
• Electrochemistry (modelling of batteries and ultracapacitors, etc.)
• Thermal engineering (modelling and identification of thermal systems, etc.)
• Mechanics, mechatronics (viscoelasticity, vibration insulation, etc.)
• Automatic control (system identification, observation, and control of fractional systems, etc.)
• Biology, biophysics (signal and models of biological systems, viscoelasticity in biology, etc.)
• Physics (analysis and modelling of diffusion phenomenon, etc.)

Special session: Fractional Signal Processing and Applications

---- in the 22nd European Signal Processing Conference

September 1 -5, 2014, Lisbon, Portugal

http://www.eusipco2014.org/

(Contributed by Prof. Manuel Duarte Ortigueira)

Fractional calculus is being applied in an increasing number of fields, from Physics to Control Engineering, or modeling long range processes that we find in our daily life as internet traffic, economy and finance. Other systems and devices difficult to study and model fall into the fractional framework as ultra capacitors, batteries, dielectric materials, muscles, etc.    

The development of Fractional Signals and Systems theory has led to a new set of tools that began substituting classic procedures and implementations. In fact the success of the fractional methodology is unquestionable with a lot of applications, namely in nonlinear and complex system dynamics and image processing. The advantages of fractional filters led to an increment in the research of new design methods.    

Also important as referred above was the enrichment of Fractional Calculus done by the Signal Processing view, interpretation, and procedures.   

This special session addresses the interplay between Fractional Calculus and signal processing, which brings new challenges since the involved mathematical tools are more involved and hard to compute than the classic ones, but are also richer allowing better models, behaviours, and performances.

Lévy Processes and Infinitely Divisible Distributions

Ken-iti Sato

Book Description

Lévy processes are rich mathematical objects and constitute perhaps the most basic class of stochastic processes with a continuous time parameter. This book is intended to provide the reader with comprehensive basic knowledge of Lévy processes, and at the same time serve as an introduction to stochastic processes in general. No specialist knowledge is assumed and proofs are given in detail. Systematic study is made of stable and semi-stable processes, and the author gives special emphasis to the correspondence between Lévy processes and infinitely divisible distributions. All serious students of random phenomena will find that this book has much to offer. Now in paperback, this corrected edition contains a brand new supplement discussing relevant developments in the area since the book's initial publication.

Microphysics of Cosmic Plasmas

André Balogh , Andrei Bykov , Peter Cargill, Richard Dendy, Thierry Dudok de Wit , John Raymond

Book Description

This title presents a review of the detailed aspects of the physical processes that underlie the observed properties, structures and dynamics of cosmic plasmas. An assessment of the status of understanding of microscale processes in all astrophysical collisionless plasmas is provided. The topics discussed include turbulence in astrophysical and solar system plasmas as a phenomenological description of their dynamic properties on all scales; observational, theoretical and modelling aspects of collisionless magnetic reconnection; the formation and dynamics of shock waves; and a review and assessment of microprocesses, such as the hierarchy of plasma instabilities, non-local and non-diffusive transport processes and ionisation and radiation processes. In addition, some of the lessons that have been learned from the extensive existing knowledge of laboratory plasmas as applied to astrophysical problems are also covered. This volume is aimed at graduate students and researchers active in the areas of cosmic plasmas and space science. Originally published in Space Science Reviews journal, Vol. 278/2-4, 2013.

The Realization Problem for Positive and Fractional Systems (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control)

Tadeusz Kaczorek, Lukasz Sajewski

Book Description

This book addresses the realization problem of positive and fractional continuous-time and discrete-time linear systems. Roughly speaking the essence of the realization problem can be stated as follows: Find the matrices of the state space equations of linear systems for given their transfer matrices. This first book on this topic shows how many well-known classical approaches have been extended to the new classes of positive and fractional linear systems. The modified Gilbert method for multi-input multi-output linear systems, the method for determination of realizations in the controller canonical forms and in observer canonical forms are presented. The realization problem for linear systems described by differential operators, the realization problem in the Weierstrass canonical forms and of the descriptor linear systems for given Markov parameters are addressed. The book also presents a method for the determination of minimal realizations of descriptor linear systems and an extension for cone linear systems. This monographs summarizes recent original investigations of the authors in the new field of the positive and fractional linear systems.
