As large-sized spacecraft have been developed, they have been equipped with flexible appendages, such as solar cell plates and mechanical flexible arms. The attitude control of spacecraft with flexible appendages has become more complex, with higher requirements. In this paper, a fractional-order PD attitude control method for a type of spacecraft with flexible appendages is presented. Firstly, a lumped parameter model of a spacecraft with flexible appendages is constructed, which provides the transfer function of the attitude angle and external moment. Then, a design method for the fractional-order PD controller for the attitude control of a spacecraft with flexible appendages is provided. Based on the designed steps, a numerical example is provided to compare the control performances between the fractional-order and integer-order PD controllers. Finally, the obtained numerical results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method. Full article

Modern structures of electrical power systems are expected to have more domination of renewable energy sources. However, renewable energy-based generation systems suffer from their lack of or reduced rotating masses, which is the main source of power system inertia. Therefore, the frequency of modern power systems represents an important indicator of their proper and safe operation. In addition, the uncertainties and randomness of the renewable energy sources and the load variations can result in frequency undulation problems. In this context, this paper presents an improved cascaded fractional order-based frequency regulation controller for a two-area interconnected power system. The proposed controller uses the cascade structure of the tilt integral derivative (TID) with the fractional order proportional integral derivative with a filter (FOPIDN or PI

^{μ}

N) controller (namely the cascaded TID-FOPIDN or TID-PI

^{λ}

D

^{μ}

N controller). Moreover, an optimized TID control method is presented for the electric vehicles (EVs) to maximize their benefits and contribution to the frequency regulation of power systems. The recent widely employed marine predators optimization algorithm (MPA) is utilized to design the new proposed controllers. The proposed controller and design method are tested and validated at various load and renewable source variations, as is their robustness against parameter uncertainties of power systems. Performance comparisons of the proposed controller with featured frequency regulation controllers in the literature are provided to verify the superiority of the new proposed controller. The obtained results confirm the stable operation and the frequency regulation performance of the new proposed controller with optimized controller parameters and without the need for complex design methods.

In this paper, we implement computational methods, namely the local fractional natural homotopy analysis method (LFNHAM) and local fractional natural decomposition method (LFNDM), to examine the solution for the local fractional Lighthill–Whitham–Richards (LFLWR) model occurring in a fractal vehicular traffic flow. The LWR approach preferably models the traffic flow and represents the traffic patterns via the supposition of speed–density equilibrium relationship and continuity equation. This model is mostly preferred for modeling of traffic flow because of its simple approach and interpretive ability to examine the qualitative patterns of traffic flow. The methods applied here incorporate the local fractional natural transform (LFNT) and derive the solutions for the LFLWR model in a closed form. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the suggested methods. Furthermore, the numerical simulations have also been presented for each of the examples in the fractal domain. Additionally, the explored solutions for both examples have also been compared and are in good match with already existing solutions in literature. The methods applied in this work make the computational process easier as compared to other iterative methods and still provide precise solutions. Full article

In this research, we studied a mathematical model formulated with six fractional differential equations to characterize a COVID-19 outbreak. For the past two years, the disease transmission has been increasing all over the world. We included the considerations of people with infections who were both asymptomatic and symptomatic as well as the fact that an individual who has been exposed is either quarantined or moved to one of the diseased classes, with the chance that a susceptible individual could also migrate to the quarantined class. The suggested model is solved numerically by implementing the generalized Runge–Kutta method of the fourth order (GRK4M). We discuss the stability analysis of the GRK4M as a general study. The acquired findings are compared with those obtained using the fractional finite difference method (FDM), where we used the Grünwald–Letnikov approach to discretize the fractional differentiation operator. The FDM is mostly reliant on correctly converting the suggested model into a system of algebraic equations. By applying the proposed methods, the numerical results reveal that these methods are straightforward to apply and computationally very effective at presenting a numerical simulation of the behavior of all components of the model under study.

This paper designs a new finite difference compact reconstruction unequal-sized weighted essentially nonoscillatory scheme (CRUS-WENO) for solving fractional differential equations containing the fractional Laplacian operator. This new CRUS-WENO scheme uses stencils of different sizes to achieve fifth-order accuracy in smooth regions and maintain nonoscillatory properties near discontinuities. The fractional Laplacian operator of order

β

(0 < β < 1)

is split into the integral part and the first derivative term. Using the Gauss–Jacobi quadrature method to solve the integral part of the fractional Laplacian operators, a new finite difference CRUS-WENO scheme is presented to discretize the first derivative term of the fractional equation. This new CRUS-WENO scheme has the advantages of a narrower large stencil and high spectral resolution. In addition, the linear weights of the new CRUS-WENO scheme can be any positive numbers whose sum is one, which greatly reduces the calculation cost. Some numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness and feasibility of this new CRUS-WENO scheme in solving fractional equations containing the fractional Laplacian operator. Full article

This paper is concerned with the problem of tracking control for a class of variable-order fractional uncertain system. In order to realize the global robustness of systems, two types of controllers are designed by the global sliding-mode control method. The first one is based on a full-order global sliding-mode surface with variable-order fractional type, and the control law is continuous, which is free of chattering. The other one is a novel time-varying control law, which drives the error signals to stay on the proposed reduced-order sliding-mode surface and then converges to the origin. The stability of the controllers proposed is proved by the use of the variable-order fractional type Lyapunov stability theorem and the numerical simulation is given to validate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

A general investigation on the mechanism of stochastic resonance is reported in a time-delay fractional Langevin system, which endues a nonlinear form multiplicative colored noise and fractional Gaussian noise. In terms of theoretical analysis, both the expressions of output steady-state amplitude and that of the first moment of system response are obtained by utilizing stochastic averaging method, fractional Shapiro and Laplace methods. Due to the presence of trichotomous colored noise, the excitation frequency can induce fresh multimodal Bona fide stochastic resonance, exhibiting much more novel dynamical behaviors than the non-disturbance case. It is verified that multimodal pattern only appears with small noise switching rate and memory damping order. The explicit expressions of critical noise intensity corresponding to the generalized stochastic resonance are given for the first time, by which it is determined that nonlinear form colored noise induces much more of a comprehensive resonant phenomena than the linear form. In the case of slow transfer rate noise, a newfangled phenomenon of double hypersensitive response induced by a variation in noise intensity is discovered and verified for the first time, with the necessary range of parameters for this phenomenon given. In terms of numerical scheme, an efficient and feasible algorithm for generating trichotomous noise is proposed, by which an algorithm based on the Caputo fractional derivative are applied. The numerical results match well with the analytical ones. Full article

This article primarily focuses on the approximate controllability of fractional semilinear integrodifferential equations using resolvent operators. Two alternative sets of necessary requirements have been studied. In the first set, we use theories from functional analysis, the compactness of an associated resolvent operator, for our discussion. The primary discussion is proved in the second set by employing Gronwall’s inequality, which prevents the need for compactness of the resolvent operator and the standard fixed point theorems. Then, we extend the discussions to the fractional Sobolev-type semilinear integrodifferential systems. Finally, some theoretical and practical examples are provided to illustrate the obtained theoretical results. Full article

In this study, a novel design of a second kind of nonlinear Lane–Emden prediction differential singular model (NLE-PDSM) is presented. The numerical solutions of this model were investigated via a neuro-evolution computing intelligent solver using artificial neural networks (ANNs) optimized by global and local search genetic algorithms (GAs) and the active-set method (ASM), i.e., ANN-GAASM. The novel NLE-PDSM was derived from the standard LE and the PDSM along with the details of singular points, prediction terms and shape factors. The modeling strength of ANN was implemented to create a merit function based on the second kind of NLE-PDSM using the mean squared error, and optimization was performed through the GAASM. The corroboration, validation and excellence of the ANN-GAASM for three distinct problems were established through relative studies from exact solutions on the basis of stability, convergence and robustness. Furthermore, explanations through statistical investigations confirmed the worth of the proposed scheme. Full article

In the present work, we study the COVID-19 infection through a new mathematical model using the Caputo derivative. The model has all the possible interactions that are responsible for the spread of disease in the community. We first formulate the model in classical differential equations and then extend it into fractional differential equations using the definition of the Caputo derivative. We explore in detail the stability results for the model of the disease-free case when

R_{0} < 1

. We show that the model is stable locally when

R_{0} < 1

. We give the result that the model is globally asymptotically stable whenever

R_{0} \leq 1

. Further, to estimate the model parameters, we consider the real data of the fourth wave from Pakistan and provide a reasonable fitting to the data. We estimate the basic reproduction number for the proposed data to be

R_{0} = 1.0779

. Moreover, using the real parameters, we present the numerical solution by first giving a reliable scheme that can numerically handle the solution of the model. In our simulation, we give the graphical results for some sensitive parameters that have a large impact on disease elimination. Our results show that taking into consideration all the possible interactions can describe COVID-19 infection. Full article

This article investigates the semi-analytical method coupled with a new hybrid fuzzy integral transform and the Adomian decomposition method via the notion of fuzziness known as the Elzaki Adomian decomposition method (briefly, EADM). In addition, we apply this method to the time-fractional Swift–Hohenberg equation (SHe) with various initial conditions (IC) under gH-differentiability. Some aspects of the fuzzy Caputo fractional derivative (CFD) with the Elzaki transform are presented. Moreover, we established the general formulation and approximate findings by testing examples in series form of the models under investigation with success. With the aid of the projected method, we establish the approximate analytical results of SHe with graphical representations of initial value problems by inserting the uncertainty parameter

0 \leq ℘ \leq 1

with different fractional orders. It is expected that fuzzy EADM will be powerful and accurate in configuring numerical solutions to nonlinear fuzzy fractional partial differential equations arising in physical and complex structures. Full article

A modified homotopy perturbation method coupled with Laplace transform (He-Laplace method) is applied to find its approximate analytical solution. The method is to decompose the equation into a series of linear equations, which can be effectively and easily solved by the Laplace transform. The solution process is illustrated step by step, and the results show that the present method is extremely powerful for fractional differential equations. Full article
