A method recently advanced as the conformable Euler method (CEM) for the finite difference discretization of fractional initial value problem Dtαyt = ft;yt, yt0 = y0, a≤t≤b, and used to describe hyperchaos in a financial market model, is shown to be valid only for α=1. The property of the conformable fractional derivative (CFD) used to show this limitation of the method is used, together with the integer definition of the derivative, to derive a modified conformable Euler method for the initial value problem considered. A method of constructing generalized derivatives from the solution of the non-integer relaxation equation is used to motivate an alternate definition of the CFD and justify alternative generalizations of the Euler method to the CFD. The conformable relaxation equation is used in numerical experiments to assess the performance of the CEM in comparison to that of the alternative methods.

Abstract We consider a fractional derivative with order varying in time. Then, we derive for it a Leibniz' inequality and an integration by parts formula. We also study an initial value problem with our time variable order fractional derivative and present a regularity result for it, and a study on the asymptotic behavior.

Implicit Finite Difference

A finite-difference method is developed for solving two coupled, ordinary differential equations that model a sequence of chemical reactions. The initial-value problem is highly nonlinear and involves three parameters. Various types of theoretical solution of this problem (the Sal’nikov thermokinetic oscillator problem) may be found, depending on these parameters; this is because the stationary point is surrounded by up to two limit cycles. The well-known, first-order, explicit Euler method and an implicit finite difference method of the same order are used to compute the solution. It is shown that this implicit method may, in fact, be used explicitly and extensive numerical experiments are made to confirm the superior stability properties of the alternative method.

Definition Of

This paper is motivated by some papers treating the fractional derivatives. We introduce a new definition of fractional derivative which obeys classical properties including linearity, product rule, quotient rule, power rule, chain rule, Rolle’s theorem, and the mean value theorem. The definition D α f t = lim h ⟶ 0 f t + h e α − 1 t − f t / h , for all t > 0 , and α ∈ 0,1 . If α = 0 , this definition coincides to the classical definition of the first order of the function f .
