Firstly, the fractional Birkhoff＇s equations and the corresponding transversality conditions are given. Secondly, from special to general forms, Noether＇s theorems of a standard Birhoffian system are given, which provide an approach and theoretical basis for the further research on the Noether symmetry of the fractional Birkhoffian system. Thirdly, the invariances of the fractional Pfaffian action under a special one-parameter group of infinitesimal transformations without transforming the time and a general one-parameter group of infinitesimal transformations with transforming the time are studied, respectively, and the corresponding Noether＇s theorems are established.

The sufficient conditions to guarantee the robust stability of the fractional order Hopfield neural networks are derived by making use of the property of the Mittag-Leffler function, comparison theorem for the fractional order system, and method of the Laplace integral transform.

After reducing both equations to nonlinear ODEs with constant coefficients, the tanh ansatz is substituted into the resultant nonlinear ODEs. The coefficients of the solutions in the ansatz are calculated by algebraic computer computations. Two different solutions are obtained for the Sharma–Tasso–Olver equation as only one solution for the potential Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation. The solution profiles are demonstrated in 3D plots in finite domains of time and space.展开更多

This paper presents an investigation for the magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) flow and heat transfer of an incompressible generalized Burgers' fluid due to an exponential accelerating plate with the effect of the second order velocity slip. The energy equation and momentum equation are coupled by the fractional Burgers' fluid constitutive model. Numerical solutions for velocity, temperature and shear stress are obtained using the modified implicit finite difference method combined with the G1-algorithm,whose validity is confirmed by the comparison with the analytical solution. Our results show that the influences of the fractional parameters α and β on the flow are opposite each other, which is just like the effects of the two parameters on the temperature. Moreover, the impact trends of the relaxation time λ_1 and retardation time λ_3 on the velocity are opposite each other. Increasing the boundary parameter will promote the temperature, but has little effect on the temperature boundary layer thickness.展开更多
