    The Routh–Hurwitz conditions of fractional type in stability analysis of the Lorenz dynamical system, Springer
    journal article in Web of Science

    This paper discusses stability conditions and a chaotic behavior of the Lorenz dynamical system involving the Caputo fractional derivative of orders between 0 and 1. We study these problems with respect to a general (not specified) value of the Rayleigh number as a varying control parameter. Such a bifurcation analysis is known for the classical Lorenz system; we show that analysis of its fractional extension can yield different conclusions. In particular, we theoretically derive (and numerically illustrate) that nontrivial equilibria of the fractional Lorenz system become locally asymptotically stable for all values of the Rayleigh number large enough, which contradicts the behavior known from the classical case. As a main proof tool, we derive the optimal Routh–Hurwitz conditions of fractional type. Beside it, we perform other bifurcation investigations of the fractional Lorenz system, especially those documenting its transition from stability to chaotic behavior.

    On explicit stability conditions for a linear fractional difference system, Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston
    journal article in Web of Science

    The paper describes the stability area for an autonomous difference system with the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville forward difference operator whose order is between 0 and 1. Contrary to the existing result on this topic, our stability conditions are fully explicit and involve the decay rate of the solutions. Some comparisons, consequences and illustrated examples are presented as well.

    This paper concerns with basic stability properties of linear autonomous fractional differential and difference systems involving derivative operators of the Riemann-Liouville type. We derive stability regions for special discretizations of the studied fractional differential systems including a precise description of their asymptotics.

    The homogenization problem for a nonlinear elliptic equation modelling some physical phenomena set in a periodically heterogeneous medium is studied. Contrary to the usual approach, the coefficients in the equation are supposed to be uncertain functions from a given set of admissible data satisfying suitable monotonicity and continuity conditions. The problem with uncertainties is treated by means of the worst scenario method.

    The paper discusses fractional integrals and fractional derivatives appearing in the so-called (q,h)-calculus. There are introduced basic definitions and properties of these notions as well as comparisons with the known definitions and results.
