Salute to Indian Mathematicians of Fractional Calculus

Anil GangalKiran KolwankarH.M.SrivastavaO.P.AgarwalS.C Dutta RayL.DebnathR.K.SaxenaRasajit Kumar Bera…………

………………and to all exponents around the globe to have given this wonderful subject to us applied scientists and engineers, a language what nature understands the best, to communicate with nature in better and efficient way.

Page 3: Essence of FRACTIONAL CALCULUS in applied sciences

Essence of fractional calculus is…….

………….in understanding nature better.

………….in making effort to have this subject as Popular Science.

………….in simple teaching and evolving the future methods in mathematics and making working systems

……………in realizing that our physical understanding is limited and mathematical tools go far beyond our understanding

……………in appreciating the wonderful world of mathematics that lays between integer order differentiation and integration.

Page 4: Essence of FRACTIONAL CALCULUS in applied sciences

Fractional Calculus does not mean the calculus of fractions, nor doest it mean a fraction of any calculus, differentiation, integration or calculus of variations.

The FRACTIONAL CALCULUS is a name of theory of integration and derivatives of arbitrary order, which unify and generalize the notion of integer order n-fold repeated differentiation and n-fold repeated integration.

FRACTIONAL CALCULUS isGENERALIZED differentiation and integration.

Curve fitting will be effective by use of fractional differential equation, as compared with polynomial regression and integer order differential equation. The reason is extra freedom to closely track the the curvature in continuum.Could be a magnifier tool to observe the formation of discontinuity.

Observations

Distributed systems behave as fractional orderRepresentation of distributed system is better with fractional calculus.Distribution can be in space or in time.Almost all semi-infinite system gets representations in half derivative.Good field of study as to why?Can ambient changes manifest the order of calculus from say half to other value?What is the physics behind that change?This order value changes can be instrumented to study or make the instruments or instrumentation systems for measurement and control.

Stable

HyperdampedUltradamped

A first order system with fractional term may become unstablecan have oscillatory behavior and can behave as stable second orderstable under damped systemsClassical order definition with number of energy storage element and ornumber of initial condition can give misleading information about the responseIn presence of fractional order terms.

Page 34: Essence of FRACTIONAL CALCULUS in applied sciences

Comment regarding system order

On contrary to widely accepted opinion in integer order theory, the first order system cannot go into instability or oscillations, the presence of fractional order elements in the first order system can give a counterintuitive result.

On contrary to widely accepted opinion that chaos cannot occur in continuous-time system of order less than three (in presence of non-linearity as feed back), fractional order system of order less than three can display chaotic behavior, with non linear feed back.

Order definition in classical theory saying the order is number of energy storage elements, or number of initialization constants required or the nature of output of damped nature, is not therefore valid in the presence of fractional order element.

Salient points observed in the discussion:

The distributed effect of parameters distributed over large space gives half order of derivative or integration.

Can this be taken as general rule that semi infinite distributed self similar structures behave with half order of calculus?

If the distribution in space gives order of derivative as fractional order suggesting non-local behavior, can we say event distributed in time (historical behavior hereditary character temporal memory behavior be represented with fractional differ-integration of time?

The solution seems to have self similar pattern, time/space power series with fractional power real power.

Reality of systems are naturally not point quantity thus fractional calculus is the language what nature understands the best.

DualityFor LHD fractional derivative of constant is not zeroThis fact lead to RL or LHD approach to consider “limit of differentiation” (lower terminal) to minus infinity. The physical significance of this minus infinity is starting the physical processes at time immemorial!! However lower limit to minus infinity is necessary abstraction for steady state (sinusoidal) response. For LHD are required. This posses physical interpretability.

For RHD the fractional derivative of the constant is zero. But this requires also with in mathematical world this posses a problem.

Our mathematical tools go far beyond our physical understanding

Is apparent that fractional derivative is limit of a weighted average of the values over the function from minus infinity to point of interest (x), these weights corresponds (in limit) to a power function defined by the order of the fractional derivative (q). This averaging is for forward derivative. For backward derivative, this is limit of a average of values over the function from point of interest (x) to plus infinity. Therefore the forward fractional derivative operator has memory of the function from minus infinity to x, and backward derivative has memory of the function from x to plus infinity.

Thus point fractional derivative at a point x has a unique power law ‘memory’ both forward and backward on function Local fractional Derivative at a point depends on the character of entire function. Integer order derivative depends only on local behavior meaning slope of function at point. Fractional derivative is non-local phenomena

Set of experimental measurements is fitted with fractional differential equation with .

initial values of fitted function and (m-1) derivatives.The fractional integration and its fractional order represents the cumulative impact of the previous history loading on the present state of wire. The order of fractional integration is related to shape of memory function of wire material.

It is obvious that the order of fractional integration would be different for different wires because they work in different conditions. Thus it is necessary to apply this regression in each case separately. Main problem is that each particular wire changes its property due to certain very peculiar causes(heredity/history). The order 1.32 is for this particular wire of 2.4mm diameter at this loading, a 2.8mm diameter wire will have different order

A practical challenging instrumentation problem(Dr U Paul NPD/BARC)

Total Absorption Gamma Calorimeter International Project

Observation:Energy resolution of the detector with long pencil (1cmX2cmX20cm) crystal depends on interaction point of incident Gamma photon. Crystal defects inhomogenity (along the length of 1D crystal) is responsible for observed behavior. Scintillating light photons propagates through inhomogeneous medium before being collected by read out device PMT

RequirementEnergy resolution independent of interaction point in crystalDevelopment of technique and instrument which can compensate the resolution by fractal technique.

New Science application in fractional calculusApplication of flow of matter/energy through fractal defected porous path.
