In this work, we develop variational formulations of Petrov-Galerkin type for one-dimensional fractional boundary value problems involving either a Riemann-Liouville or Caputo derivative of order $\alpha\in(3/2, 2)$ in the leading term and…

We discuss various aspects concerning transformations of local analytic, or formal, vector fields to Poincare-Dulac normal form, and the convergence of such transformations. We first review A.D. Bruno's approach to formal normalization, as…

It is proved that the members of the Riccati hierarchy, the so-called Riccati chain equations, can be considered as particular cases of projective Riccati equations, which greatly simplifies the study of the Riccati hierarchy. This also…

Smooth vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be decomposed into the sum of a gradient vector field and divergence-free (solenoidal) vector field under suitable hypotheses. This is called the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition (HHD), which has been…

This survey article is dedicated to some families of fractals that were introduced and studied during the last decade, more precisely, families of Sierpi\'nski carpets: limit net sets, generalised Sierpi\'nski carpets and labyrinth…

Fractal structures naturally emerge in quantum systems whose initial states exhibit spatial discontinuities, a phenomenon first identified by Berry in the paradigmatic case of a particle confined in an infinite potential well. While…

We introduce a novel harmonic analysis for functions defined on the vertices of a strongly connected directed graph of which the random walk operator is the cornerstone. As a first step, we consider the set of eigenvectors of the random…

Fractional derivatives are a well-studied generalization of integer order derivatives. Naturally, for optimization, it is of interest to understand the convergence properties of gradient descent using fractional derivatives. Convergence…

In many problems of classical analysis extremal configurations appear to exhibit complicated fractal structure. This makes it much harder to describe extremals and to attack such problems. Many of these problems are related to the…

Fractional derivatives can be used to model time delays in a diffusion process. When the order of the fractional derivative is distributed over the unit interval, it is useful for modeling a mixture of delay sources. In some special cases…

In this paper, we focus on Strichartz's derivatives, a family of derivatives including the normal derivative, on p.c.f. (post critically finite) fractals, which are defined at vertex points in the graphs that approximate the fractal. We…

We develop a cut finite element method (CutFEM) for the convection problem in a so called fractured domain which is a union of manifolds of different dimensions such that a $d$ dimensional component always resides on the boundary of a $d+1$…

Fractal behaviour, i.e. scale invariance in spatio-temporal dynamics, have been found to describe and model many systems in nature, in particular fluid mechanics and geophysical related geometrical objects, like the convective boundary…

This book intends to deepen the study of the fractional calculus, giving special emphasis to variable-order operators. It is organized in two parts, as follows. In the first part, we review the basic concepts of fractional calculus (Chapter…

We study integrals of the form $\int_{\Omega}f\left( d\omega_1 , \ldots , d\omega_m \right), $ where $m \geq 1$ is a given integer, $1 \leq k_{i} \leq n$ are integers and $\omega_{i}$ is a $(k_{i}-1)$-form for all $1 \leq i \leq m$ and $…
