Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional order derivatives have had a revolutionary impact on the scientific community. Its study has grown in leaps and bounds, from analytical methods to numerical techniques. Consequently, applications of fractional order differential equations are now widespread across every possible area of research. 

The focus of this Special Issue is on the advancement of research on fractional order derivatives and their multi-faceted applications. Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Mathematical modeling with fractional order derivatives;
  • Symmetry analysis of fractional order equations;
  • Conserved quantities related to fractional order models;
  • The various techniques for solving fractional order equations;
  • Special functions that are linked to the solution of fractional order equations;
  • Software to aid computations and analysis for fractional order derivatives and equations.
