Novel numerical methods and techniques for complex fractional dynamical systems and applications

Overview

In recent years, fractional models have attracted considerable interest because of their ability to model many phenomena. Anomalous diffusion phenomena are widely spread in nature and engineering. This proposal aims to carry out innovative and novel research on developing effficient, robust and accurate computational models for complex fractional dynamical systems. This project involves fractional dynamical systems; numerical methods: finite difference, finite element, finite volume, meshless, and spectral methods and applications.
