In recent years, fractional kinetic equations (FKEs) involving various special functions have been widely used to describe and solve significant problems in control theory, biology, physics, image processing, engineering, astrophysics, and many others. This current work proposes a new solution to fractional λkinetic equations based on generalized degenerate hypergeometric functions (GDHFs), which has the potential to be applied to calculate changes in the chemical composition of stars such as the sun. Furthermore, this expanded form can also help to solve various problems with phenomena in physics, such as fractional statistical mechanics, anomalous diffusion, and fractional quantum mechanics. Moreover, some of the well-known outcomes are just special cases of this class of pathway-type solutions involving GDHFs, with greater accuracy, while providing an easily calculable solution. Additionally, numerical graphs of these analytical solutions, using MATLAB Software (latest version 2023b), are also considered. Full article

Time dilation (TD) is a principal concept in the special theory of relativity (STR). The Einstein TD formula is the relation between the proper time t0 measured in a moving frame of reference with velocity v and the dilated time t measured by a stationary observer. In this paper, an integral approach is firstly presented to rededuce the Einstein TD formula. Then, the concept of TD is introduced and examined in view of the fractional calculus (FC) by means of the Caputo fractional derivative definition (CFD). In contrast to the explicit standard TD formula, it is found that the fractional TD (FTD) is governed by a transcendental equation in terms of the hyperbolic function and the fractional-order α. For small v compared with the speed of light c (i.e., vc), our results tend to Newtonian mechanics, i.e., tt0. For v comparable to c such as v=0.9994c, our numerical results are compared with the experimental ones for the TD of the muon particles μ+. Moreover, the influence of the arbitrary-order α on the FTD is analyzed. It is also declared that at a specific α, there is an agreement between the present theoretical results and the corresponding experimental ones for the muon particles μ+. Full article

This work aims to analyze a new system of two fractional Hamiltonian equations. We propose an effective method for transforming the established model into a system of two distinct equations. Two functionals that are connected to the converted system of fractional Hamiltonian systems are introduced together with a new space, and it is demonstrated that these functionals are bounded below on this space. The hypotheses presented here differ from those provided in the literature. Full article

Recently, researchers have been interested in studying fractional differential equations and their solutions due to the wide range of their applications in many scientific fields. In this paper, a new approach called the Hussein–Jassim (HJ) method is presented for solving nonlinear fractional ordinary differential equations. The new method is based on a power series of fractional order. The proposed approach is employed to obtain an approximate solution for the fractional differential equations. The results of this study show that the solutions obtained from solving the fractional differential equations are highly consistent with those obtained by exact solutions. Full article
