The problem can be considered as a model example for the design of the shapes for elastic-plastic problem. The computations are done by finite element method, and the performance criterion is minimized by the material derivative method. We also discuss the error estimates in the appropriate norm and present some numerical results. An example is used to clearly illustrate the essential elements of shape design problems.展开更多

Depending on the type of transformations considered, different necessary conditions of invariance are obtained. As particular cases, we prove fractional versions of Noether's symmetry theorem. Invariant conditions for fractional optimal control problems, using the Hamiltonian formalism, are also investigated. As an example of potential application in Physics, we show that with conformable derivatives it is possible to formulate an Action Principle for particles under frictional forces that is far simpler than the one obtained with classical fractional derivatives.展开更多

文摘The variational iteration method is successfully extended to the case of solving fractional differential equations, and the Lagrange multiplier of the method is identified in a more accurate way. Some diffusion models with fractional derivatives are investigated analytically, and the results show the efficiency of the new Lagrange multiplier for fractional differential equations of arbitrary order.
