(R2159) A Novel Extension Of Picard’S Method For Fractional Initial Value Problems With Convergence Analysis On Finite And Infinite Intervals, Jag Mohan, Anju Sood Jun 2026

(R2159) A Novel Extension Of Picard’S Method For Fractional Initial Value Problems With Convergence Analysis On Finite And Infinite Intervals, Jag Mohan, Anju Sood

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In recent years, fractional differential equations have emerged as powerful tools for modeling phenomena with memory and hereditary effects, owing to their non-local characteristics. These equations excel in tackling intricate problems across physics, engineering, and other fields. As analytical solutions are often infeasible, numerical methods play a vital role in their practical application. In this study, we have generalized Picard’s method to address fractional differential initial value problems with Caputo derivative, establishing an existence and uniqueness theorem applicable to both finite and infinite intervals. To substantiate our findings, we provide an example with graphical evidence demonstrating the convergence of the …


Generalized Bagley-Torvik Equation And Fractional Oscillators, Mark Naber, Lucas Lymburner Jun 2019

Generalized Bagley-Torvik Equation And Fractional Oscillators, Mark Naber, Lucas Lymburner

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper the Bagley-Torvik Equation is considered with the order of the damping term allowed to range between one and two. The solution is found to be representable as a convolution of trigonometric and exponential functions with the driving force. The properties of the effective decay rate and the oscillation frequency with respect to the order of the fractional damping are also studied. It is found that the effective decay rate and oscillation frequency have a complex dependency on the order of the derivative of the damping term and exhibit properties one might expect of a thermodynamic Equation of …

Iterative Solution Of Fractional Diffusion Equation Modelling Anomalous Diffusion, A. Elsaid, S. Shamseldeen, S. Madkour

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, we study the fractional diffusion equation with spatial Riesz fractional derivative. The continuation of the solution of this fractional equation to the solution of the corresponding integer order equation is proved. The series solution is obtained based on properties of Riesz fractional derivative operator and utilizing the optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM). Numerical simulations are presented to validate the method and to show the effect of changing the fractional derivative parameter on the solution behavior.

Approximate Approach To The Das Model Of Fractional Logistic Population Growth, S. Das, P. K. Gupta, K. Vishal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, the analytical method, Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been successfully implemented for solving nonlinear logistic model of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. Using initial value, the explicit solutions of population size for different particular cases have been derived. Numerical results show that the method is extremely efficient to solve this complicated biological model.

Approximate Analytical Solutions For Fractional Space- And Time- Partial Differential Equations Using Homotopy Analysis Method, Subir, Das, R. Kumar, P. K. Gupta, Hossein Jafari

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This article presents the approximate analytical solutions of first order linear partial differential equations (PDEs) with fractional time- and space- derivatives. With the aid of initial values, the explicit solutions of the equations are solved making use of reliable algorithm like homotopy analysis method (HAM). The speed of convergence of the method is based on a rapidly convergent series with easily computable components. The fractional derivatives are described in Caputo sense. Numerical results show that the HAM is easy to implement and accurate when applied to space- time- fractional PDEs.
