In this paper we are concerned with the fractional-order predator-prey model and the fractional-order rabies model. Existence and uniqueness of solutions are proved. The stability of equilibrium points are studied. Numerical solutions of these models are given. An example is given where the equilibrium point is a centre for the integer order system but locally asymptotically stable for its fractional-order counterpart.
a b s t r a c tIn this work, a new theory of thermoelasticity is derived using the methodology of fractional calculus. The theories of coupled thermoelasticity and of generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time follow as limit cases. A uniqueness theorem for this model is proved. A variational principle and a reciprocity theorem are derived.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
