Abstract:
Abstract In this paper, we introduce the basic notions of the fractional summation, difference and q-difference with the quaternionic fractional order for the quaternion-valued functions and establish some of their basic properties. Based on this, the summation representations of solutions for the nonlinear quaternion-valued fractional difference equation and q-difference equation are obtained. In addition, several examples are provided to illustrate the feasibility of our obtained results in each section.

Abstract:
In this article, we study the existence and uniqueness results for a separate nonlinear Caputo fractional sum-difference equation with fractional difference boundary conditions by using the Banach contraction principle and the Schauder’s fixed point theorem. Our problem contains two nonlinear functions involving fractional difference and fractional sum. Moreover, our problem contains different orders in n + 1 fractional differences and m + 1 fractional sums. Finally, we present an illustrative example.

This paper presents a series of new results in finite and infinite-memory modeling of discrete-time fractional differences. The introduced normalized finite fractional difference is shown to properly approximate its fractional difference original, in particular in terms of the steady-state properties. A stability analysis is also presented and a recursive computation algorithm is offered for finite fractional differences. A thorough analysis of computational and accuracy aspects is culminated with the introduction of a perfect finite fractional difference and, in particular, a powerful adaptiv

Recently, some authors have proved monotonicity results for delta and nabla fractional differences separately. In this article, we use dual identities relating delta and nabla fractional difference operators to prove shortly the monotonicity properties for the (left Riemann) nabla fractional differences using the corresponding delta type properties. Also, we proved some monotonicity properties for the Caputo fractional differences. Finally, we use the Q??operator dual identities to prove monotonicity results for the right fractional difference operators.

The fractional Laplacian is a promising mathematical tool due to its ability to capture the anomalous diffusion and model the complex physical phenomenon with long-range interaction, such as fractional quantum mechanics, image processing, jump process, etc. One of the important applications of fractional Laplacian is a turbulence intermittency model of fractional Navier-Stokes equation which is derived from Boltzmann's theory.

Abstract:
Fractional calculus is ”the theory of integrals and derivatives of arbitrary order, which unify and generalize the notions of integer-order differentiation and n-fold integration”. The idea of generalizing differential operators to a non-integer order, in particular to the order 1/2, first appears in the correspondence of Leibniz with L’Hopital (1695), Johann Bernoulli (1695), and John Wallis (1697) as a mere question or maybe even play of thoughts. In the following three hundred years a lot of mathematicians contributed to the fractional calculus: Laplace (1812), Lacroix (1812), Fourier (1822

Almost every theory of mathematics has its discrete counterpart that makes it conceptually easier to understand and practically easier to use in the modeling process of real world problems. For instance, one can take the "difference" of any function, from 1st order up to the n-th order with discrete calculus. However, it is also possible to extend this theory by means of discrete fractional calculus and make n- any real number such that the ½-th order difference is well defined.

Abstract:
Returns to labor for workers with similar endowments of productive characteristics in Ecuador are influenced by two characteristics that, arguably, should play no role on the determination of wages: gender and ethnicity. This paper analyzes wage gaps due to both characteristics in Ecuador for the period 2003-2007, applying a matching comparisons technique developed in Ñopo (2008). The results indicate ethnic wage gaps that are notably higher than gender wage gaps. Furthermore, ethnic wage gaps are higher among males than among females. Differences in human capital characteristics, however, exp

Abstract:
We estimate sibling correlations in schooling (i.e., the fraction of inequality in educational outcomes that can be attributed to factors shared by siblings) for 94 countries, accounting for 85% of the world population. With this new database, we document several findings. On average, at least 51% of the inequality in schooling can be explained by shared family background. There are large regional differences, with North America and South Asia displaying the lowest and highest sibling correlations, respectively. There is important heterogeneity within some regions. The average sibling correlat

Influence of hydraulic properties of rootstocks and the rootstock-scion graft on water use and productivity of apple trees.

Abstract:
This one year exploratory project investigated hydraulic architecture of apple dwarfing rootstocks. The hypothesis was that hydraulic conductance is correlated with rootstock vigor. A previous study of trees on three rootstocks in Israel showed that dwarfed trees used less water than un-dwarfed trees. Analysis showed that if the tree maintains leaf water potentials above minimum values, then this implies that the dwarfed trees have lower leaf conductance, which may also be the cause of dwarfing. The current project studied small 2-year old unworked rootstock trees, and full sized trees bearing

Abstract:
We contribute to understanding the challenges for estimating the size of the LGBTQ population and discriminatory sentiment against it by surveying 10,003 individuals, whom we randomize into a direct question or an Item Count Technique (ICT) elicitation group. The fractions of the population that self-identify as LGBTQ, that reports having had same-sex sexual experiences, and that has felt same-sex attraction are higher for our sample than those obtained from government surveys. However, the difference between estimates recovered from our direct questions and through the ICT does not always hav
