◆ Great News on the First FCAA Impact Factor and Its Ranking

      Prof. V. Kiryakova, managing editor of Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis (FCAA), delivered us great news on the first impact factor and ranking of this journal. Below is quoted from her original email: 

    "As we already discussed with some of Editors, the end of July brought to FCAA journal the expected news about the first impact factor by Thomson Reuter,  and also SJR by Scopus, for 2013:  According to JCR 2013 (release July 2014), JIF = 2.974, and this launches FCAA at 4th and 5th places in categories Mathematics (Interdisciplinary Applications, and Applied). We got also SJR = 2.106 by Scopus, which confirms journal’s excellent performance...”

     Let us congratulate on this great achievement! And make this journal of our FDA community even more successful in years to come.

Special Issue: Dynamics and Control of Fractional Order Systems

International Journal of Dynamics and Control

http://www.springer.com/materials/mechanics/journal/40435

(Contributed by Prof. Manuel Duarte Ortigueira)

Fractional calculus is currently gaining more and more popularity in the control engineering community. The origin of this emerging concept dates back to the early days of classical differential calculus, although its inherent complexity postponed its use and application to the engineering world. Nowadays, its use in control engineering has been gaining more and more momentum in both modeling and identification, as well as in the controller tuning.

The aim of this special issue is to promote further development of fractional order calculus in the field of control engineering, in terms of identification, modeling and control design. Authors of this special issue are welcomed to submit original research describing the recent advances in the theory and numerical techniques of fractional order calculus in various scientific and engineering applications including identification, modeling, simulation, control, optimization, etc.

Topics of this special issue include:

Fractional order control (tuning, implementation issues, new algorithms)

Signal analysis and filtering with fractional tools (restoration, reconstruction, analysis of fractal noises, etc.)

Fractional order modeling of physical systems

Fractional system identification and optimization (linear, nonlinear, multivariable methods, etc.)

Stochastic Calculus for Fractional Brownian Motion and Related Processes

Mishura, Yuliya

Book Description

The theory of fractional Brownian motion and other long-memory processes are addressed in this volume. Interesting topics for PhD students and specialists in probability theory, stochastic analysis and financial mathematics demonstrate the modern level of this field. Among these are results about Levy characterization of fractional Brownian motion, maximal moment inequalities for Wiener integrals including the values 0<H<1/2 of Hurst index, the conditions of existence and uniqueness of solutions to SDE involving additive Wiener integrals, and of solutions of the mixed Brownian—fractional Brownian SDE. The author develops optimal filtering of mixed models including linear case, and studies financial applications and statistical inference with hypotheses testing and parameter estimation. She proves that the market with stock guided by the mixed model is arbitrage-free without any restriction on the dependence of the components and deduces different forms of the Black-Scholes equation for fractional market.

Random Walks on Disordered Media and their Scaling Limits

Takashi Kumagai

Book Description

In these lecture notes, we will analyze the behavior of random walk on disordered media by means of both probabilistic and analytic methods, and will study the scaling limits. We will focus on the discrete potential theory and how the theory is effectively used in the analysis of disordered media. The first few chapters of the notes can be used as an introduction to discrete potential theory. Recently, there has been significant progress on the theory of random walk on disordered media such as fractals and random media. Random walk on a percolation cluster (‘the ant in the labyrinth’) is one of the typical examples. In 1986, H. Kesten showed the anomalous behavior of a random walk on a percolation cluster at critical probability. Partly motivated by this work, analysis and diffusion processes on fractals have been developed since the late eighties. As a result, various new methods have been produced to estimate heat kernels on disordered media. These developments are summarized in the notes.
