One shortcoming of the chain rule is that it does not iterate: it gives the derivative of f(g(x)), but not (directly) the second or higher-order derivatives. We present iterated differentials and a version of the multivariable chain rule…
We establish necessary optimality conditions for variational problems with a Lagrangian depending on a combined Caputo derivative of variable fractional order. The endpoint of the integral is free, and thus transversality conditions are…

We consider the problem of quantifying the uncertainty on theoretical predictions based on perturbation theory due to missing higher orders. The most widely used approach, scale variation, is largely arbitrary and it has no probabilistic…
There are many functions which are continuous everywhere but not differentiable at some points, like in physical systems of ECG, EEG plots, and cracks pattern and for several other phenomena. Using classical calculus those functions cannot…
We propose and develop a new calculus for local variational differential operators. The main difference of the new formalism with the canonical differential calculus is that the image of higher order operators on local functionals does not…

Discrete choice models are commonly used by applied statisticians in numerous fields, such as marketing, economics, finance, and operations research. When agents in discrete choice models are assumed to have differing preferences, exact…
We define higher order infinitesimal noncommutative probability space and infinitesimal non-crossing cumulant functionals. In this framework, we generalize to higher order the notion of infinitesimal freeness, via a vanishing of mixed…
In a rectangular domain, a boundary-value problem is considered for a mixed-type equation with a regularized Caputo-like counterpart of hyper-Bessel differential operator and the bi-ordinal Hilfer's fractional derivative. Using the method…
Derivatives and integration operators are well-studied examples of linear operators that commute with scaling up to a fixed multiplicative factor; i.e., they are scale-invariant. Fractional order derivatives (integration operators) also…
In this paper we study isoperimetric problems of the calculus of variations with left and right Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives. Both situations when the lower bound of the variational integrals coincide and do not coincide with…
This paper presents a systematic study of the calculus of interval-valued functions and its application to interval differential equations. To this end, first, we introduce new interval arithmetic operations. Under new operations, the space…
A \emph{double extrema form} of the calculus of variations is put forward in which only the smallest one of the finite differences is physically meaningful to represent the variational derivatives defined on the discrete points. The most…
