Fractional Deterministic and Stochastic Calculus

Fractional calculus has emerged as a powerful and effective mathematical tool in the study of several phenomena in science and engineering. This text addressed to researchers, graduate students, and practitioners combines deterministic fractional calculus with the analysis of the fractional Brownian motion and its associated fractional stochastic calculus and includes examples, exercises, and problems that focus on computational aspects. This text provides an overview of the elements of fractional analysis and processes, and includes a wide variety of hands-on applications and exercises that help the reader master the technique of calculations associated with fractional operators. cover Introduction Contents List of notations and abbreviations 1 Fractional integrals and derivatives 2 Integral and differential equations involving fractional operators 3 Fractional Brownian motion and its environment 4 Stochastic processes and fractional differential equations 5 Numerical methods and simulation A Basics in complex analysis and integral transforms B Special functions C Stochastic processes Bibliography Index
