Computable Extension of New Advanced Fractional Kinetic Equation
Abstract: AbstractFirst, we obtain computable extensions of advanced fractional kinetic equation. The aim of this survey is to explore the behavior of physical and biological systems from the point of view of fractional calculus. Fractional calculus, integration and differentiation of an arbitrary or fractional order, provide new tools that expand the descriptive power of calculus beyond the familiar integer-order concepts of rates of change and area under a curve. Fractional calculus …
