International Symposium on Fractional PDEs: Theory, Numerics and Applications

June 3 - 5, 2013, Salve Regina University, 100 Ochre Point Avenue, Newport RI 02840

Conference Objectives
Fractional Partial Differential Equations (FPDEs) are emerging as a new powerful tool for modeling the most difficult type of complex systems, i.e., systems with overlapping microscopic and macroscopic scales or systems with long-range time memory and long-range spatial interactions. They offer a new way of accessing the mesoscale using the continuum formulation and hence extending the continuum description for multiscale modeling of viscoelastic materials, control of autonomous vehicles, transitional and turbulent flows, wave propagation in porous media, electric transmission lines, and speech signals. The aim of this first workshop in the USA on FPDEs is to cover theory, algorithms and applications. Recent activity on FPDEs has taken place mostly in China and to a lesser degree in Europe; hence we have invited our overseas colleagues to share with US researchers the new advances in the methodology and applications of FPDEs. We also expect many young US postdocs to attend the workshop, hence introducing the new generation of simulation scientists to these emerging computational methods.

Book Description

The book contains selected papers based on the plenary lectures presented at the 5th International Conference “Analytic Methods of Analysis and Differential Equations” (AMADE-2009) (14-19 Sept., 2009, Minsk, Belarus). Key topics of the Conference were integral transforms and special functions, differential equations, integral, difference, functional equations and fractional calculus, real and complex analysis, applied questions of analysis and differential equations, modern problems of mechanics.

It was the last AMADE Conference headed by Professor Anatoly Kilbas (1948-2010). This book is dedicated to his memory. It contains, in particular, two contributions by A. Kilbas and a series of his latest photos.

Advances in Applied Analysis

Sergei V. Rogosin, Anna A. Koroleva (Editors)

Book Description

This book contains survey papers based on the lectures presented at the 3rd International Winter School “Modern Problems of Mathematics and Mechanics” held in Jan. 2010 at Belarusian State University (BSU), Minsk and initiated by the Council of Young Scientists of BSU. Young researches, graduate, master and post-graduate students from Belarus, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine participated in this school.

The lectures were devoted to different problems of modern analysis and its applications and among the lecturers were well-known experts in these topics. An extended presentation of modern problems of applied analysis enables the reader to get familiar with new approaches of mostly interdisciplinarycharacter. The results discussed are application oriented and present new insight into problems of growing importance such as applications to composite materials, anomalous diffusion, and fluid dynamics.

A cycle of lectures by V. Kisil (Leeds Univ., UK), “Erlangen program at large: A brief outline” describes a bridge between modern analysis and algebra. The author studies objects and properties, which are invariant under a group action. He starts with conformal geometry and develops a special functional calculus. As a characteristic example it is used the construction of wavelets basing on certain algebraic technique.

A. Laurincikas (Vilnius Univ., Lithuania), in his cycle “The Riemann zeta-function: Approximation of analytic functions”, deals with the notion of universality of functions. He shows that one of the best candidate to be universal is the classical Riemann zeta-function. So this lecture can be considered as describing connection between Analysis and Number Theory.

A cycle of lectures by Yu. Luchko (Beuth Tech. Univ. of Appl. Sci. Berlin, Germany), “Anomalous diffusion: Models, their analysis, and interpretation” presents the model of anomalous diffusion. This model is given in terms of differential equations of an arbitrary order. The obtained equations and their generalizations are analyzed both with the help of the Laplace-Fourier transforms (the Cauchy problems) and the spectral method (initial-boundary-value problems).

V. Mityushev (Krakow Pedagogical Academy, Poland), in his cycle “R–linear and Riemann–Hilbert problems for multiply connected domains” presents elements of constructive analysis related to the solution of boundary value problems for analytic functions. Main attention is paid to further application of the obtained results in the theory of 2D composite materials and porous media.

Another type of applications are presented in the cycle of lectures by S. Plaksa (Institute of Math., National Acad. Sci., Ukraine), “Commutative algebras associated with classic equations of mathematical physics”. He develops a technique connected with application of the theory of monogenic functions in the modern problems of mathematical physics. In particular, axial-symmetric problems of the mechanics of continuous media are studied.

S. Rogosin (Belarusian State Univ., Belarus) describes modern ideas which are applied at the study of 2D free boundary problems (“2D free boundary value problems”). In particular, an illustrative example is developed dealing with so-called Hele-Shaw boundary value problem. This problem is reduced to the couple of problems, namely, an abstract Cauchy- Kovalevsky problem and Riemann-Hilbert-Poincare problem for analytic functions.

Multiple (multiindex) Mittag–Leffler functions and relations to generalized fractional calculus

Virginia S. Kiryakova

Publication information: Virginia S. Kiryakova. Multiple (multiindex) Mittag–Leffler functions and relations to generalized fractional calculus. Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 118(1–2), 2000, 241–259.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377042700002922

Abstract
The classical Mittag–Leffler (M–L) functions have already proved their efficiency as solutions of fractional-order differential and integral equations and thus have become important elements of the fractional calculus’ theory and applications. In this paper we introduce analogues of these functions, depending on two sets of multiple (m-tuple, m2 is an integer) indices. The hint for this comes from a paper by Dzrbashjan (Izv. AN Arm. SSR 13 (3) (1960) 21–63) related to the case m=2. We study the basic properties and the relations of the multiindex M–L functions with the operators of the generalized fractional calculus. Corresponding generalized operators of integration and differentiation of the so-called Gelfond–Leontiev-type, as well as Borel–Laplace-type integral transforms, are also introduced and studied.

The fundamental solution of the space-time fractional diffusion equation

Francesco Mainardi, Yuri Luchko and Gianni Pagnini

Publication information: Francesco Mainardi, Yuri Luchko and Gianni Pagnini. The fundamental solution of the space-time fractional diffusion equation. Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis, Vol. 4 No 2 (2001) 153-192.
http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0702419
 

Abstract
We deal with the Cauchy problem for the space-time fractional diffusion equation, which is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the second-order space derivative with a Riesz-Feller derivative of order
a∈ (0, 2] and skewness q (|q | ≤ min { a, 2 − a}), and the first-order time derivative with a Caputo derivative of order b∈ (0, 2]. The fundamental solution (Green function) for the Cauchy problem is investigated with respect to its scaling and similarity properties, starting from its Fourier-Laplace representation. We review the particular cases of space-fractional diffusion {0 < a ≤ 2, b = 1}, time-fractional diffusion { a = 2, 0 < b ≤ 2}, and neutral-fractional diffusion {0 < a =b ≤ 2} , for which the fundamental solution can be interpreted as a spatial probability density function evolving in time. Then, by using the Mellin transform, we provide a general representation of the Green functions in terms of Mellin-Barnes integrals in the complex plane, which allows us to extend the probability interpretation to the ranges {0 < a ≤ 2}∩{0 < b ≤ 1} and {1 < ba ≤ 2}. Furthermore, from this representation we derive explicit formulae (convergent series and asymptotic expansions), which enable us to plot the spatial probability densities for different values of the relevant parameters a, q, b.
