There has been a great advancement in the study of fractional-order nonlocal nonlinear boundary value problems during the last few decades. The interest in the subject of fractional-order boundary value problems owes to the extensive application of fractional differential equations in many engineering and scientific disciplines. Fractional-order differential and integral operators provide an excellent instrument for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials a...

This book studies the theoretical aspects for a variety of coupled fractional differential systems involving Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, ψ-Riemann--Liouville, Hilfer, ψ--Hilfer, Hadamard, Hilfer--Hadamard, Erdelyi--Kober, (k, ψ)-Hilfer, generalized, Proportional, ψ-Proportional, Hilfer--proportional, ψ-Hilfer--proportional type fractional derivative operators, subject to different types of nonlocal boundary conditions. The topic of fractional differential systems is one of the hot and impor...

The main objective of this book is to extend the scope of the q-calculus based on the definition of q-derivative [Jackson (1910)] to make it applicable to dense domains. As a matter of fact, Jackson's definition of q-derivative fails to work for impulse points while this situation does not arise for impulsive equations on q-time scales as the domains consist of isolated points covering the case of consecutive points. In precise terms, we study quantum calculus on finite intervals.In the fi...

This book focuses on the recent development of fractional differential equations, integro-differential equations, and inclusions and inequalities involving the Hadamard derivative and integral. Through a comprehensive study based in part on their recent research, the authors address the issues related to initial and boundary value problems involving Hadamard type differential equations and inclusions as well as their functional counterparts. The book covers fundamental concepts of multival...

This book is devoted to the study of existence of solutions or positive solutions for various classes of Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional differential equations, and systems of fractional differential equations subject to nonlocal boundary conditions. The monograph draws together many of the authors' results, that have been obtained and highly cited in the literature in the last four years.In each chapter, various examples are presented which support the main results. The methods us...

Beta-glucans are the polysaccharides obtained from the cell wall of fungi, yeast, bacteria, and cereals with different physicochemical properties depending on the source. Beta-glucans are polymers with β-1,3 glucose as core linear structure and vary with respect to side branching, solubility, viscosity, gelation properties, and molecular weight. They are well known as cell response modifiers with immune-modulating, nutraceutical, and health beneficial effects, including anticancer and pro-...

Food wastage has become a major problem with about one third of all food produced for human consumption going to waste, leading to major socioeconomic and environmental consequences in an increasingly resource-constrained world. This volume embraces integrated management as a solution to food and agricultural wastage. It presents methods to lessen, reuse, recycle, and manage wastage by merging and employing a variety of suitable methods, equipment, and organizational plans.The volu...

Airports are dynamic infrastructure assets and organisations, which are subject to constant change as a result of increasing traffic, ownership changes, environmental, economic, safety and technological changes. Customers (airlines, passengers and freight organisations) and stakeholders (government, community) also put pressure on airports to change.This book examines the pressures to change faced by airports of different sizes, from small community airports to intercontinental meg...
