AbstractA new geometric interpretation of the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivatives of non-integer orders is proposed. The suggested geometric interpretation of the fractional derivatives is based on modern differential geometry and the geometry of jet bundles. We formulate a geometric interpretation of the fractional-order derivatives by using the concept of the infinite jets of functions. For this interpretation, we use a representation of the fractional-order derivatives by infinite series with integer-order derivatives. We demonstrate that the derivatives of non-integer orders connected with infinite jets of special type. The suggested infinite jets are considered as a reconstruction from standard jets with respect to order.

Numerical solution of the well-known Bagley-Torvik equation is considered. The fractional-order derivative in the equation is converted, approximately, to ordinary-order derivatives up to second order. Approximated Bagley-Torvik equation is obtained using finite number of terms from the infinite series of integer-order derivatives expansion for the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. The Bagley-Torvik equation is a second-order differential equation with constant coefficients. The derived equation, by considering only the first three terms from the infinite series to become a second-order ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients, is numerically solved after it is transformed into a system of first-order ordinary differential equations. The approximation of fractional-order derivative and the order of the truncated error are illustrated through some examples. Comparison between our result and exact analytical solution are made by considering an example with known analytical solution to show the preciseness of our proposed approach.

We prove that main properties represented by Eq. (4.2) for fractional derivative of power function and the non-fractional Leibniz rule in the form (4.3) of the considered paper, cannot hold together for derivatives of non-integer order. As a result, we prove that the usual Leibniz rule (4.3) cannot hold for fractional derivatives.

In this paper, we prove that unviolated simple Leibniz rule and equation for fractional-order derivative of power function cannot hold together for derivatives of orders α≠1. To prove this statement, we use an algebraic approach, where special form of fractional-order derivatives is not applied.

Firstly the one-dimension digital fractional order Savitzky-Golay differentiator (1-D DFOSGD), which generalizes the Savitzky-Golay filter from the integer order to the fractional order, is proposed to estimate the fractional order derivative of the noisy signal. The polynomial least square fitting technology and the Riemann-Liouville fractional order derivative definition are used to ensure robust and accuracy. Experiments demonstrate that 1-D DFOSGD can estimate the fractional order derivatives of both ideal signal and noisy signal accurately. Secondly, the two-dimension DFOSGD is obtained from 1-D DFOSGD by defining a group of direction operators, and a new image enhancing method based on 2-D DFOSGD is presented. Experiments demonstrate that 2-D DFOSGD has very good performance on image enhancement.

In this paper, we consider the Riemann-Liouville-type general fractional derivatives of the non-singular kernel of the one-parametric Lorenzo-Hartley function. A new general fractional-order-derivative Goldstein-Kac-type telegraph equation is proposed for the first time. The analytical solution of the considered model with the graphs is obtained with the aid of the Laplace transform. The general fractional-order-derivative formula is as a new mathematical tool proposed to model the anomalous behaviors in complex and power-law phenomena.

Edge enhancement and detection techniques are fundamental operations in magnetic data interpretation. Many techniques for edge enhancement have been developed, some based on profile data and others designed for grid-based data sets. Methods that are traditionally applied to magnetic data, such as total horizontal derivative (THD) and analytic signal (AS), require the computation of integer-order horizontal and vertical derivatives of the magnetic data. However, if the data set contains features with a large variation in amplitude, then the features with small amplitudes may be difficult to outline. In addition, because most edge enhancement and detection filters are derivative-based filters, they also amplify high-frequency noise content in the data. As a result, the accuracy of derivative-based filters is restricted to data of high quality. We suggested the modification of the THD and AS filters by combining the amplitude spectra of fractional-order-derivative filters with ad hoc phase spectra, particularly designed for edge detection in magnetic data. We revealed the capability of the proposed algorithm on synthetic magnetic data and on aeromagnetic data from Turkey. Compared with the traditional use of THD and AS (with integer-order derivatives), we developed the method based on fractional-order derivatives that produced more effective results in terms of suppressing noise and delineating the edges of deep sources.

AbstractWe conduct a detailed study and comparison for the one-degree-of-freedom steady-state vibrations under harmonic driving with a single fractional-order derivative and a distributed-order derivative. For each of the two vibration systems, we consider the stiffness contribution factor and damping contribution factor of the term of fractional derivatives, the amplitude and the phase difference for the response. The effects of driving frequency on these response quantities are discussed. Also the influences of the orderαof the fractional derivative and the parameterγparameterizing the weight function in the distributed-order derivative are analyzed. Two cases display similar response behaviors, but the stiffness contribution factor and damping contribution factor of the distributed-order derivative are almost monotonic change with the parameterγ, not exactly like the case of single fractional-order derivative for the orderα. The case of the distributed-order derivative provides us more options for the weight function and parameters.
