Fractional equations and models play an essential part in the description of anomalous dynamics in complex systems. Recent developments in the modeling of various physical, chemical and biological systems have clearly shown that fractional calculus is not just an exotic mathematical theory, as it might have once seemed. The present book seeks to demonstrate this using various examples of equations and models with fractional and generalized operators. Intended for students and researchers in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, it systematically offers a wealth of useful tools for fractional calculus.

Offers a detailed introduction to and advanced theory of fractional calculus Pursues a step-by-step approach to solve related problems Includes material that will be of interest to mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers
