Description:

In the last decades, the interest in fractional calculus increased substantially. This fact is due to on the one hand different problems can be considered in the framework of fractional derivatives like, for example, in optics and quantum mechanics, and on another hand, fractional calculus gives us a new degree of freedom which can be used for more complete characterization of an object or as an additional encoding parameter. In particular, the interest in fractional differential equations has increased considerably due essentially to the wide range of applications. These types of equations are used mostly to model processes in the fields of engineering, viscoelastic materials, hydrology, system control, just to mention some. The organizers welcome any contribution to the study partial differential equations and their applications.

List of Topics of Interest: Ordinary/Partial fractional differential equations; Equations from mathematical-physics; Boundary value problems; Fundamental solutions; Eigenfunctions and eigenvalues; Fractional calculus in higher dimensions; Special functions in the context of fractional calculus.
