Invitation to FDA12

The purpose of this Symposium in series is to provide the participants with a broad overview of the state of the art on fractional systems, leading to the cross-fertilization of new research on theoretical, experimental and computational fronts for potential uses of fractional differentiation in diverse applications. The organizing committee invites you from all over the world to come to Nanjing to attend this wonderful event.

Up to 14th January 2012, the organization committee has received 252 abstracts. Thanks for the contributions from our colleagues around the world! Because the original deadline of the abstract submission happens to be in the Christmas and New Year holidays, many colleagues have recently suggested to further extend the deadline. And the organization committee has thus decided to extend the abstract submission deadline to 31st January 2012. Please help inform our FDA colleagues, who have yet to submit his/her abstracts, do it as early as possible.

The FDA12 will be held from 14th-17th May 2012 in Nanjing, China. We are looking forward to meeting you at the FDA12. For details please visit http://em.hhu.edu.cn/fda12.

Advances in Fractional Calculus

(J. Sabatier, O. P. Agrawal and J. A. Tenreiro Machado)

Fractional Calculus is a new growing field. Up to this point, researchers, scientists, and engineers have been reluctant to accept the fact that Fractional Calculus can be used in the analysis and design of many systems of practical interests, whereas in similar applications the traditional calculus either fails or provides poor solutions

Many engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians are looking for books that can provide many applications of Fractional Calculus. This book will provide a partial solution to this problem. Since it covers recent applications of Fractional Calculus, it will be attractive to many engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians

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.

бб

As this volume covers recent applications of fractional calculus, it will be of interest to engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians.

Fractional Calculus Models and Numerical Methods

                                       ---Series on Complexity, Nonlinearity and Chaos

(Dumitru Baleanu, Kai Diethelm, Enrico Scalas and Juan J Trujillo)

https://www.worldscibooks.com/mathematics/8180.html

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. 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 was written with a trade-off in mind 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. Numerical code is also provided.

Numerical Inversion of Laplace Transforms in Matlab

by   Juraj, 08 Sep 2011

(From Matlab Central)

Description

Inversion of Laplace transforms is a very important procedure used in solution of complex linear systems. The function f(t)=INVLAP(F(s)) offers a simple, effective and reasonably accurate way to achieve the result. It is based on the paper: J. Valsa and L. Brancik: Approximate Formulae for Numerical Inversion of Laplace Transforms, Int. Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields, Vol. 11, (1998), pp. 153-166
The transform F(s) may be any reasonable function of complex variable s^ж┴, where ж┴ is an integer or non-integer real exponent. Thus, the function INVLAP can solve even fractional problems and invert functions F(s) containing rational, irrational or transcendental expressions. The function does not require to compute poles nor zeroes of F(s). It is based on values of F(s) for selected complex values of the independent variable s. The resultant computational error can be held arbitrarily low at the cost of CPU time. With the todayбпs computers and their speed this does not present any serious limitation.
