A novel numerical technique used in the solution of ordinary differential equations with a mixture of integer and fractional derivatives

Using both fractional derivatives, defined in the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo senses, and classical derivatives of the integer order we examine different numerical approaches to ordinary differential equations. Generally we formulate some algorithms where four discrete forms of the Caputo derivative and three different numerical techniques of solving ordinary differential equations are proposed. We then illustrate how to introduce classical initial conditions into equations where the Riemann-Liouville derivative is included.

Using the fractional interaction law to model the impact dynamics in arbitrary form of multiparticle collisions

Using the molecular dynamics method, we examine a discrete deterministic model for the motion of spherical particles in three-dimensional space. The model takes into account multiparticle collisions in arbitrary forms. Using fractional calculus we proposed an expression for the repulsive force, which is the so called fractional interaction law. We then illustrate and discuss how to control (correlate) the energy dissipation and the collisional time for an individual article within multiparticle collisions. In the multiparticle collisions we included the friction mechanism needed for the transition from coupled torsion-sliding friction through rolling friction to static friction. Analysing simple simulations we found that in the strong repulsive state binary collisions dominate. However, within multiparticle collisions weak repulsion is observed to be much stronger. The presented numerical results can be used to realistically model the impact dynamics of an individual particle in a group of colliding particles.
