On the set of positive real numbers, multiplication, represented by ⊕, is considered as an operation associated with the notion of sum, and the operation a ⨀ b = aln(b) represents the meaning of the traditional multiplication. The triple (R+, ⊕,⨀) forms an ordered and complete field in which derivative and integration operators are defined analogously to the Differential and Integral Calculus. In this article, we present the proportional arithmetic and we construct the theory of ordinary proportional differential equations. A proportional version of Gronwall inequality, Gompertz’s function, the q-Periodic functions, proportional heat, and wave equations as well as a proportional version of Fourier’s series are presented. Furthermore, a non-Newtonian logistic growth model is proposed.
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.
