Some uncertainty about flipping a biased coin can be resolved from the sequence of coin sides shown already. We report the exact amounts of predictable and unpredictable information in flipping a biased coin. Fractional coin flipping does not reflect any physical process, being defined as a binomial power series of the transition matrix for “integer” flipping. Due to strong coupling between the tossing outcomes at different times, the side repeating probabilities assumed to be independent for “integer” flipping get entangled with one another for fractional flipping. The predictable and unpredictable information components vary smoothly with the fractional order parameter. The destructive interference between two incompatible hypotheses about the flipping outcome culminates in a fair coin, which stays fair also for fractional flipping.

The aim of this article is to analyze the dynamics of the new chaotic system in the sense of two fractional operators, that is, the Caputo–Fabrizio and the Atangana–Baleanu derivatives. Initially, we consider a new chaotic model and present some of the fundamental properties of the model. Then, we apply the Caputo–Fabrizio derivative and implement a numerical procedure to obtain their graphical results. Further, we consider the same model, apply the Atangana–Baleanu operator, and present their analysis. The Atangana–Baleanu model is used further to present a numerical approach for their solutions. We obtain and discuss the graphical results to each operator in details. Furthermore, we give a comparison of both the operators applied on the new chaotic model in the form of various graphical results by considering many values of the fractional-order parameter [Formula: see text]. We show that at the integer case, both the models (in Caputo–Fabrizio sense and the Atangana–Baleanu sense) give the same results.

AbstractIn this paper several integral representations for the generalized fractional order Mathieu type power series $S_\mu (r;x) = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{2nx^n }} {{(n^2 + r^2 )^{\mu + 1} }}(r \in \mathbb{R},\mu > 0,|x| \leqslant 1)} $ are presented. Also new integral expressions are derived for the Butzer-Flocke-Hauss (BFH) complete Omega function.

Purpose The present work is concerned with the solution of a fractional-order thermoelastic problem of a two-dimensional infinite half space under axisymmetric distributions in which lower surface is traction free and subjected to a periodically varying heat source. The thermoelastic displacement, stresses and temperature are determined within the context of fractional-order thermoelastic theory. To observe the variations of displacement, temperature and stress inside the half space, the authors compute the numerical values of the field variables for copper material by utilizing Gaver-Stehfast algorithm for numerical inversion of Laplace transform. The effects of fractional-order parameter on the variations of field variables inside the medium are analyzed graphically. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Integral transform technique and Gaver-Stehfast algorithm are applied to prepare the mathematical model by considering the periodically varying heat source in cylindrical co-ordinates. Findings This paper studies a problem on thermoelastic interactions in an isotropic and homogeneous elastic medium under fractional-order theory of thermoelasticity proposed by Sherief (Ezzat and El-Karamany, 2011b). The analytic solutions are found in Laplace transform domain. Gaver-Stehfast algorithm (Ezzat and El-Karamany, 2011d; Ezzat, 2012; Ezzat, El Karamany, Ezzat, 2012) is used for numerical inversion of the Laplace transform. All the integrals were evaluated using Romberg’s integration technique (El-Karamany et al., 2011) with variable step size. A mathematical model is prepared for copper material and the results are presented graphically with the discussion on the effects of fractional-order parameter. Research limitations/implications Constructed purely on theoretical mathematical model by considering different parameters and the functions. Practical implications The system of equations in this paper may prove to be useful in studying the thermal characteristics of various bodies in real-life engineering problems by considering the time fractional derivative in the field equations. Originality/value In this problem, the authors have used the time fractional-order theory of thermoelasticity to solve the problem for a half space with a periodically varying heat source to control the speed of wave propagation in terms of heat and elastic waves for different conductivity like weak conductivity, moderate conductivity and super conductivity which is a new and novel contribution.

In this paper, we consider the Prabhakar fractional logistic differential equation. By using appropriate limit relations, we recover some other logistic differential equations, giving representations of each solution in terms of a formal power series. Some numerical approximations are implemented by using truncated series.

We deem the time-fractional Benjamin-Ono (BO) equation out of the Riemann–Liouville (RL) derivative by applying the Lie symmetry analysis (LSA). By first using prolongation theorem to investigate its similarity vectors and then using these generators to transform the time-fractional BO equation to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (NLODE) of fractional order, we complete the solutions by utilizing the power series method (PSM).

We present a fractional order PI controller (FOPI) with SLAM method, and the proposed method is used in the simulation of navigation of NAO humanoid robot from Aldebaran. We can discretize the transfer function by the Al-Alaoui generating function and then get the FOPI controller by Power Series Expansion (PSE). FOPI can be used as a correction part to reduce the accumulated error of SLAM. In the FOPI controller, the parameters (Kp,Ki,  and  α) need to be tuned to obtain the best performance. Finally, we compare the results of position without controller and with PI controller, FOPI controller. The simulations show that the FOPI controller can reduce the error between the real position and estimated position. The proposed method is efficient and reliable for NAO navigation.

Toral introduced so-called cooperative Parrondo games, in which there are N ≥ 3 players arranged in a circle. At each turn one player is randomly chosen to play. He plays either game A or game B. Game A results in a win or loss of one unit based on the toss of a fair coin. Game B results in a win or loss of one unit based on the toss of a biased coin, with the amount of the bias depending on whether none, one, or two of the player's two nearest neighbors have won their most recent games. Game A is fair, so the games are said to exhibit the Parrondo effect if game B is losing or fair and the random mixture (1/2)(A + B) is winning. With the parameter space being the unit cube, we investigate the region in which the Parrondo effect appears. Explicit formulas can be found if 3 ≤ N ≤ 6 and exact computations can be carried out if 7 ≤ N ≤ 19, at least. We provide numerical evidence suggesting that the Parrondo region has nonzero volume in the limit as N → ∞.

AbstractA 4-level flying capacitor converter (FCC) operation is considered on a base of discrete state-space model. A transition matrix is obtained for a pulse width modulation (PWM) period for large normalised voltage command values [1/3, 1). The transition matrix elements are expanded into power series by small parameters. The matrix eigenvalues are presented in the form of power series as well. Six separate transients are constructed for six possible initial FCC states on a PWM period. Inductor current and capacitors’ voltage transients are found for the voltage source power-up as the arithmetic average of the six separate transients. Finally, the discrete solutions are replaced by equivalent continuous ones. Simple and accurate formulas for inductor current and capacitors’ voltage transients demonstrate good agreement with simulation results.
