Advances in Fractional Differential Equations II
In recent years, the fractional calculus (fractional derivatives and fractional integrals) has been recognized as an effective modelling methodology for researchers. Fractional differential equations are generalizations of classical differential equations to an arbitrary (noninteger) order. Based on the wildly applications in engineering and sciences such as physics, mechanics, chemistry, economics and biology, research on fractional differential equations is active and extensive around the world. This is the second Special Issue on Advances in Fractional Differential Equations of the journal Computers and Mathematics with Applications. This collection of 76 papers encompasses most of the important areas of current research on fractional differential equations. The papers of the present special issue can be categorised as follows: papers on mathematical modelling with fractional differential equations, papers on qualitative analysis of fractional differential equations, papers on numerical methods of fractional differential equations, papers on applications in mechanics, biology, engineering, etc. I would like to thank Prof. Ervin Rodin for his kind support on the publication of this special issue, and Prof. Rebecca Brockmann for her editorial help. I also thank all authors and referees from many countries for their constant interest and help and for their contribution to the quality of the issue.
