The integral equation of motion of a driven fractional oscillator is obtained by generalizing the corresponding equation of motion of a driven harmonic oscillator to include integrals of arbitrary order according to the methods of fractional calculus. The Green's function solution for the...

The integral equation of motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is generalized by taking the integral to be of arbitrary order according to the methods of fractional calculus to yield the equation of motion of a fractional oscillator. The solution is obtained in terms of Mittag–Leffler...

A study of sinusoidally forced oscillations of a fractional oscillator shows that the system exhibits a rich variety of damping characteristics. While some aspects of the damping mimic the characteristic features of a damped harmonic oscillator, there are others, which do not find any parallel...
