The physiological loss OF muscle mass and strength with aging is referred to as “sarcopenia”, whose combined effect with osteoporosis is a serious threat to the elderly, accounting for decreased mobility and increased risk of falls with consequent fractures. In previous studies, we observed a high degree of inter-individual variability in paraspinal muscle fatty infiltration, one of the most relevant indices of muscle wasting. This aspect led us to develop a computerized method to quantitatively characterize muscle fatty infiltration in aging and diseases. Magnetic resonance images of paraspinal muscles from 58 women of different ages (age range of 23–85 years) and physio-pathological status (healthy young, pre-menopause, menopause, and osteoporosis) were used to set up a method based on fractal-derived texture analysis of lean muscle area (contractile muscle) to estimate muscle fatty infiltration. In particular, lacunarity was computed by parameter β from the GBA (gliding box algorithm) curvilinear plot fitted by our hyperbola model function. Succolarity was estimated by parameter µ, for the four main directions through an algorithm implemented with this purpose. The results show that lacunarity, by quantifying muscle fatty infiltration, can discriminate between osteoporosis and healthy aging, while succolarity can separate the other three groups showing similar lacunarity. Therefore, fractal-derived features of contractile muscle, by measuring fatty infiltration, can represent good indices of sarcopenia in aging and disease.

An explicit computational scheme is proposed for solving fractal time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs). The scheme is a three-stage scheme constructed using the fractal Taylor series. The fractal time order of the scheme is three. The scheme also ensures stability. The approach is utilized to model the time-varying boundary layer flow of a non-Newtonian fluid over both stationary and oscillating surfaces, taking into account the influence of heat generation that depends on both space and temperature. The continuity equation of the considered incompressible fluid is discretized by first-order backward difference formulas, whereas the dimensionless Navier–Stokes equation, energy, and equation for nanoparticle volume fraction are discretized by the proposed scheme in fractal time. The effect of different parameters involved in the velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle volume fraction are displayed graphically. The velocity profile rises as the parameter I grows. We primarily apply this computational approach to analyze a non-Newtonian fluid’s fractal time-dependent boundary layer flow over flat and oscillatory sheets. Considering spatial and temperature-dependent heat generation is a crucial factor that introduces additional complexity to the analysis. The continuity equation for the incompressible fluid is discretized using first-order backward difference formulas. On the other hand, the dimensionless Navier–Stokes equation, energy equation, and the equation governing nanoparticle volume fraction are discretized using the proposed fractal time-dependent scheme.

To analyze the transformed effect of three-dimensional (3D) fracture in coal by CO2 phase transition fracturing (CO2-PTF), the CO2-PTF experiment under a fracturing pressure of 185 MPa was carried out. Computed Tomography (CT) scanning and fractal theory were used to analyze the 3D fracture structure parameters. The fractal evolution characteristics of the 3D fractures in coal induced by CO2-PTF were analyzed. The results indicate that the CO2 phase transition fracturing coal has the fracture generation effect and fracture expansion-transformation effect, causing the maximum fracture length, fracture number, fracture volume and fracture surface area to be increased by 71.25%, 161.94%, 3970.88% and 1330.03%. The fractal dimension (DN) for fracture number increases from 2.3523 to 2.3668, and the fractal dimension (DV) for fracture volume increases from 2.8440 to 2.9040. The early dynamic high-pressure gas jet stage of CO2-PTF coal influences the fracture generation effect and promotes the generation of 3D fractures with a length greater than 140 μm. The subsequent quasi-static high-pressure gas stage influences the fracture expansion-transformation effect, which promotes the expansion transformation of 3D fractures with a length of less than 140 μm. The 140 μm is the critical value for the fracture expansion-transformation effect and fracture generation effect. Five indicators are proposed to evaluate the 3D fracture evolution in coal caused by CO2-PTF, which can provide theoretical and methodological references for the study of fracture evolution characteristics of other unconventional natural gas reservoirs and their reservoir stimulation.

In this article, we introduce the multifractal conditional diffusion entropy method for analyzing the volatility of financial time series. This method utilizes a q-order diffusion entropy based on a q-weighted time lag scale. The technique of conditional diffusion entropy proves valuable for examining bull and bear behaviors in stock markets across various time scales. Empirical findings from analyzing the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) indicate that employing multi-time lag scales offers greater insight into the complex dynamics of highly fluctuating time series, often characterized by multifractal behavior. A smaller time scale like t=2 to t=256 coincides more with the state of the DJI index than larger time scales like t=256 to t=1024. We observe extreme fluctuations in the conditional diffusion entropy for DJI for a short time lag, while smoother or averaged fluctuations occur over larger time lags.

In this article, we explore a variety of problems within the domain of calculus of variations, specifically in the context of fractional calculus. The fractional derivative we consider incorporates the notion of weighted fractional derivatives along with derivatives with respect to another function. Besides the fractional operators, the Lagrange function depends on extremal points. We examine the fundamental problem, providing the fractional Euler–Lagrange equation and the associated transversality conditions. Both the isoperimetric and Herglotz problems are also explored. Finally, we conclude with an analysis of the variational problem, incorporating fractional derivatives of any positive real order.

On the basis of the chaotic system proposed by Wang et al. in 2023, this paper constructs a 5D fractional-order memristive hyperchaotic system (FOMHS) with multiple coexisting attractors through coupling of magnetic control memristors and dimension expansion. Firstly, the divergence, Kaplan–Yorke dimension, and equilibrium stability of the chaotic model are studied. Subsequently, we explore the construction of the 5D FOMHS, introducing the definitions of the Caputo differential operator and the Riemann–Liouville integral operator and employing the Adomian resolving approach to decompose the linears, the nonlinears, and the constants of the system. The complex dynamic characteristics of the system are analyzed by phase diagrams, Lyapunov exponent spectra, time-domain diagrams, etc. Finally, the hardware circuit of the proposed 5D FOMHS is performed by FPGA, and its randomness is verified using the NIST tool.

This article focuses the event-triggered adaptive finite-time control scheme for the states constrained fractional-order nonlinear systems (FONSs) under uncertain parameters and external disturbances. The backstepping scheme is employed to construct the finite-time controller via a series of barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) to solve that all the state constraints are not violated. Different from the trigger condition with fixed value, the event-triggered strategy is applied to overcome the communication burden of controller caused by the limited communication resources. By utilizing fractional-order Lyapunov analysis, all variables in the resulted system are proven to be bounded, and the tracking error converges to the small neighborhood around origin in finite time and without the Zeno behavior. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by the simulation analysis of a bus power system.

The proper coordination of directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs) is crucial in electrical power systems. The coordination of DOCRs in a multi-loop power system is expressed as an optimization problem. The aim of this study focuses on improving the protection system’s performance by minimizing the total operating time of DOCRs via effective coordination with main and backup DOCRs while keeping the coordination constraints within allowable limits. The coordination problem of DOCRs is solved by developing a new application strategy called Fractional Order Derivative Moth Flame Optimizer (FODMFO). This approach involves incorporating the ideas of fractional calculus (FC) into the mathematical model of the conventional moth flame algorithm to improve the characteristics of the optimizer. The FODMFO approach is then tested on the coordination problem of DOCRs in standard power systems, specifically the IEEE 3, 8, and 15 bus systems as well as in 11 benchmark functions including uni- and multimodal functions. The results obtained from the proposed method, as well as its comparison with other recently developed algorithms, demonstrate that the combination of FOD and MFO improves the overall efficiency of the optimizer by utilizing the individual strengths of these tools and identifying the globally optimal solution and minimize the total operating time of DOCRs up to an optimal value. The reliability, strength, and dependability of FODMFO are supported by a thorough statistics study using the box-plot, histograms, empirical cumulative distribution function demonstrations, and the minimal fitness evolution seen in each distinct simulation. Based on these data, it is evident that FODMFO outperforms other modern nature-inspired and conventional algorithms.

In this manuscript, we discuss fractional fuzzy Goursat problems with Caputo’s gH-differentiability. The second-order mixed derivative term in Goursat problems and two types of Caputo’s gH-differentiability pose challenges to dealing with Goursat problems. Therefore, in this study, we convert Goursat problems to equivalent systems fuzzy integral equations to deal properly with the mixed derivative term and two types of Caputo’s gH-differentiability. In this study, we utilize the concept of metric fixed point theory to discuss the existence of a unique solution of fractional fuzzy Goursat problems. For the useability of established theoretical work, we provide some numerical problems. We also discuss the solutions to numerical problems by conformable double Laplace transform. To show the validity of the solutions we provide 3D plots. We discuss, as an application, why fractional partial fuzzy differential equations are the generalization of usual partial fuzzy differential equations by providing a suitable reason. Moreover, we show the advantages of the proposed fractional transform over the usual Laplace transform.

A new class of truncated M-fractional exact soliton solutions for a mathematical physics model known as a truncated M-fractional (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear modified mixed-KdV model are achieved. We obtain these solutions by using a modified extended direct algebraic method. The obtained results consist of trigonometric, hyperbolic trigonometric and mixed functions. We also discuss the effect of fractional order derivative. To validate our results, we utilized the Mathematica software. Additionally, we depict some of the obtained kink, periodic, singular, and kink-singular wave solitons, using two and three dimensional graphs. The obtained results are useful in the fields of fluid dynamics, nonlinear optics, ocean engineering and others. Furthermore, these employed techniques are not only straightforward, but also highly effective when used to solve non-linear fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs).
针对一个数学物理模型，即截断 M 分（1+1）维非线性修正混合-KdV 模型，我们得到了一类新的截断 M 分精确孤子解。我们使用改进的扩展直接代数方法获得了这些解。得到的结果包括三角函数、双曲三角函数和混合函数。我们还讨论了分数阶导数的影响。为了验证我们的结果，我们使用了 Mathematica 软件。此外，我们还利用二维和三维图形描绘了所获得的一些扭结波、周期波、奇异波和扭结奇异波孤子。所获得的结果在流体动力学、非线性光学、海洋工程等领域非常有用。此外，这些采用的技术不仅简单明了，而且在用于求解非线性分数偏微分方程（FPDE）时非常有效。
