Fractional Differential Equations (2012)
(Update information 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
• Applications of fractional models to engineering systems
• Fractional models in geophysics
• Fractional random fields
• Probabilistic solutions of FDE
• Fractional dynamics and control
Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijde/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:

Electromagnetic Fields and Waves in Fractional Dimensional Space
Muhammad Zubair, Muhammad Junaid Mughal, Qaisar Abbas Naqvi
http://www.springer.com/engineering/electronics/book/978-3-642-25357-7
¡¡
This book presents the concept of fractional dimensional space applied to the use of electromagnetic fields and waves. It demonstrates the advantages in studying the behavior of electromagnetic fields and waves in fractal media.
The book presents novel fractional space generalization of the differential electromagnetic equations as well as a new form of vector differential operators in fractional space. Using these modified vector differential operators, the classical Maxwell's electromagnetic equations are worked out. The Laplace's, Poisson's and Helmholtz's equations in fractional space are derived by using modified vector differential operators.
Keywords: Helmholtz equations - Laplace equation - Maxwell equations - Poisson equations - radiation by a Hertzian dipole - radiation in fractal structures - scattering in fractal structures - vector wave equation in fractional space

Chaos, fractional kinetics, and
anomalous transport
G.M. Zaslavsky
Publication
information: G.M. Zaslavsky. Chaos, fractional kinetics, and anomalous transport. Physics
Reports 371 (2002) 461-580.
Chaotic dynamics can be considered as a physical phenomenon that bridges the
regular evolution of systems with the random one. These two alternative states
of physical processes are, typically, described by the corresponding alternative
methods: quasiperiodic or other regular functions in the 3rst case, and kinetic
or other probabilistic equations in the second case. What kind of kinetics
should be for chaotic dynamics that is intermediate between completely regular (integrable)
and completely random (noisy) cases? What features of the dynamics and in what
way should they be represented in the kinetics of chaos? These are the subjects
of this paper, where the new concept of fractional kinetics is reviewed for
systems with Hamiltonian chaos. Particularly, we show how the notions of
dynamical quasi-traps, Poincar8e recurrences, Levy flights, exit time
distributions, phase space topology prove to be important in the construction of
kinetics. The concept of fractional kinetics enters a different area of
applications, such as particle dynamics in different potentials, particle
advection in fluids, plasma physics and fusion devices, quantum optics, and many
others. New characteristics of the kinetics are involved to fractional kinetics
and the most important are anomalous transport, superdiffusion, weak mixing, and
others. The fractional kinetics does not look as the usual one since some
moments of the distribution function are infinite and fluctuations from the
equilibrium state do not have any finite time of relaxation. Different important
physical phenomena: cooling of particles and signals, particle and wave traps,
Maxwell¡¯s Demon, etc. represent some domains where fractional kinetics proves to
be valuable.
