Spectral Non-integer Derivative Representations and the Exact Spectral Derivative Discretization Finite Difference Method for the Fokker-Planck Equation

Universal difference quotient representations are introduced for the exact self-sameness principles (SSP) as rules for rates of change introduced in [Clemence-Mkhope, D.P (2021, Preprint). The Exact Spectral Derivative Discretization Finite Difference (ESDDFD) Method for Wave Models. arXiv]. Properties are presented for the fundamental rule, a generalized derivative representation which is shown to yield some known non-integer derivatives as limit cases of such natural derivative measures; this is shown for some local derivatives of conformable, fractional, or fractal type and non-local derivatives of Caputo and Riemann-Liouville type. The SSP-inspired exact spectral derivative discretization finite difference method is presented for the Fokker-Planck non-fractional and time-fractional equations; the resulting discrete models recover exactly some known behaviors predicted for the processes modeled, such as the Gibbs-Boltzmann distribution and the Einstein-Stokes-Smoluchowski relation; new ones are predicted.

The Exact Spectral Derivative Discretization Finite Difference (ESDDFD) Method for Wave Models: A Universal Wave View Through Natural Fractional / Fractal Derivative Representations (or View Lens Shops for The Exponential Wave Universe)

A wave view of the universe is proposed in which each natural phenomenon is equipped with its own unique natural viewing lens. A self-sameness modeling principle and its systematic application in Fourier-Laplace transform space is proposed as a novel, universal discrete modeling paradigm for advection-diffusion-reaction equations (ADREs) across non-integer derivatives, time scales, and wave spectral signatures. Its implementation is a novel exact spectral derivative discretization finite difference method (ESDDFD), a way for crafting wave viewing lenses by obtaining discrete wave models from ADRE models. The template for building these lenses come in the form of natural derivative representations obtained from the wave signature probability distribution function and its harmonic oscillation in FL transform space; use of the ESDDFD method in the discrete numerical modeling of wave equations requires no a-priori theory of any mathematical derivative. A major mathematical consequence of this viewpoint is that all notions of the mathematical integer or non-integer derivatives have representation as limits of such natural derivative representations; this and other consequences are discussed and a discretization of a simple integer derivative diffusion-reaction equation is presented to illustrate the method. The resulting view lenses, in the form of ESDDFD models, work well in detecting both local and non-local Debye or Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts exponential patterns; only Brownian motion and sub-diffusion are discussed in the present article.

A Comment on the Conformable Euler Finite Difference Method

A method, recently advanced as the conformable Euler method, a general method for the finite difference discretization of fractional initial value problems for fractions in (0, 1], is shown to be valid only for the integer derivative. The property of the conformable fractional derivative used to show this limitation of the method is used, together with the integer definition of the derivative, to derive a modified conformable Euler method for the initial value problem considered.
