Fractional Differential Equations 2013

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:

• Numerical methods and numerical analysis of fractional differential equations
• Mathematical models of fractional dynamic systems
• Fractional image processing
• Theorem of fractional differential equations
• Nonlinear and stochastic fractional dynamic systems
• Fractional models and their experimental verifications
• Applications of fractional models
• Fractional random fields
• Probabilistic solutions of FDE
• Fractional dynamics and control
