The Sino-German Workshop on Fractional Dynamics
--- financially sponsored by ※China-Germany Center for Sciences§

Co-chaired by Ralf Metzler (Germany) and Weihua Deng (China)
14-17 May 2012, Nanjing, China, fully overlapped with FDA12

This Workshop has recently got great financial sponsorship from ※China-Germany Center for Sciences§ which is established jointly by the Natural Sciences Foundation of China and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) to support academic exchange and collaborations between China and Germany. The Sino-German Workshop, fully overlapped with the Fifth IFAC Symposium on Fractional Differentiation and Its Applications, intends to bring together leading experts from Germany and China.

The covered topics concern anomalous diffusion and relaxation, and their mathematical description in terms of advanced random walk models and fractional Fokker-Planck equations, as well as applications from systems including geophysics, biological physics, condensed matter and polymer physics, porous materials, general optimization of search processes, as well as econophysics. These vastly different themes indeed all share common statistical properties described by Levy stable distributions and fractional differential and integral expressions.

Germany and, more recently, China, are the most active countries in the field of fractional calculus and its applications. At the same time there has not been much contact between relevant scientists between the two countries. This Workshop intends to establish connections between these scientists and to promote future collaborations. The Workshop is certainly going to be attractive for a wider audience, as we managed to secure some of the world leaders of this field as speakers (see List of Speakers at http://em.hhu.edu.cn/fda12/Specialsessions.html), so it is a reasonable hope that the Workshop will indeed kick off a new research link between Germany and China. The total 33 researchers from both countries in addition to Israel as a partner country will get the full support from ※China-Germany Center for Sciences§ to attend this Workshop as well as FDA12.

Special Issue in Fractional Differential Equations (2012)
(Contributed by Prof. Fawang Liu)

Call for Papers


In recent years, a growing number of works by many authors from various fields of science and engineering deal with dynamical systems described by fractional differential equations. Fractional differential equations are generalization of ordinary differential equations to arbitrary (noninteger) order. Fractional differential equations capture nonlocal relations in space and time with power law memory kernels. Due to extensive applications in engineering and science, research in fractional differential equations has become intense around the world.

We invite authors to present original research articles as well as review articles in the area of fractional differential equations and their applications. This special issue will become an international forum for researches to present the most recent developments and ideas in the field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Mathematical modeling of fractional dynamic systems
• Analytical and numerical methods to solve these equations
• Fractional image processing
• Anomalous diffusion
• Theorem of fractional difference equations
• Fractional model of viscoelastic damping
• Fractional controller design and system identification
• Stability analysis of fractional systems
• Nonlinear and stochastic fractional dynamic systems
• Fractional models and their experimental verifications

Fractional Calculus for Scientists and Engineers

Manuel Duarte Ortigueira

http://www.springer.com/engineering/computational+intelligence+and+complexity/book/978-94-007-0746-7

• Provides a practical overview of Fractional Calculus.
• Designed to be accessible by Scientists and Engineers mainly interested in applications.
• Multidisciplinary presentation will be useful to researchers in fields such as electromagnetism, control engineering, and signal processing.

In recent years fractional calculus has been rediscovered by scientists and engineers and applied in an increasing number of fields, such as electromagnetism, control engineering, and signal processing. The increase in the number of physical and engineering processes that are best described by fractional differential equations has motivated its study.
This book gives a practical overview of Fractional Calculus as it relates to Signal Processing. It is designed to be accessible by Scientists and Engineers mainly interested in applications, who do not want to spend too much time and effort to access to the main Fractional Calculus features and tools. Readers can benefit from the attempt to present a Fractional Calculus foundation based of the Gr
nwald-Letnikov derivative, because it exhibits great coherence allowing deduction from it the other derivatives, which appear as a consequence of the Gr邦nwald-Letnikov derivative properties and not as a prescription.

Keywords: Fractional Calculus - Fractional Derivative - Fractional Signal Processing - Linear Systems - Quantum Computing

Table of contents
1. Fractional Derivative.
2. Integral representations.
3. Fractional Linear Systems.
4. Two sided fractional derivatives.
5. The quantum fractional derivative and the scale invariant linear systems.
6. Where do we go?

FRACTIONAL CALCULUS: An Introduction for Physicists

Richard Herrmann

Fractional calculus is undergoing rapid and ongoing development. We can already recognize, that within its framework new concepts and strategies emerge, which lead to new challenging insights and surprising correlations between different branches of physics.

This book is an invitation both to the interested student and the professional researcher. It presents a thorough introduction to the basics of fractional calculus and guides the reader directly to the current state-of-the-art physical interpretation. It is also devoted to the application of fractional calculus on physical problems, in the subjects of classical mechanics, friction, damping, oscillations, group theory, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and hadron spectroscopy up to quantum field theory.

Fractional calculus: integral and differential equations of fractional order

R. Gorenflo and F. Mainardi

Publication information: Fractals and Fractional Calculus  in Continuum Mechanics. Springer Verlag, Wien and New York, 1997, pp. 223- 276.

E-print: arXiv:0805.3823

We introduce the linear operators of fractional integration and fractional differentiation in the framework of the Riemann-Liouville fractional calculus. Particular attention is devoted to the technique of Laplace transforms for treating these operators in a way accessible to applied scientists, avoiding unproductive generalities and excessive mathematical rigor. By applying this technique we shall derive the analytical solutions of the most simple linear integral and differential equations of fractional order. We show the fundamental role of the Mittag-Leffler function, whose properties are reported in an ad hoc Appendix. The topics discussed here will be: (a) essentials of Riemann-Liouville fractional calculus with basic formulas of Laplace transforms, (b) Abel type integral equations of first and second kind, (c) relaxation and oscillation type differential equations of fractional order.

Mittag-Leffler waiting time, power laws, rarefaction, continuous time random walk, diffusion limit

Rudolf Gorenflo

Publication information: Pages 1-22 in: Proceedings of the National Workshop on Fractional Calculus and Statistical Distributions, November 25-27, 2009,
Publication No. 41 (July
2010) of Centre for Mathematical Sciences Pala Campus, Pala/Kerala/India.

E-print: arXiv:1004.4413

We discuss some applications of the Mittag-Leffler function and related probability distributions in the theory of renewal processes and continuous time random walks. In particular we show the asymptotic (long time) equivalence of a generic power law waiting time to the Mittag-Leffler waiting time distribution via rescaling and respeeding the clock of time. By a second respeeding (by rescaling the spatial variable) we obtain the diffusion limit of the continuous time random walk under power law regimes in time and in space. Finally, we exhibit the time-fractional drift process as a diffusion limit of the fractional Poisson process and as a subordinator for space-time fractional diffusion.
