Symmetric Lévy flights in semi-infinite domain
Barnali Pyne, Kiran M. Kolwankar
We study symmetric Lévy flights in a semi-infinite domain with a reflecting and absorbing boundary at 0. To this end, we use the fractional differential equation that…
Low-cost experiment to measure the speed of light
Faraz Mehdi, Kiran M. Kolwankar
In this paper, we demonstrate a low-cost method to measure the speed of light. It uses instruments which are readily available in any undergraduate laboratory in a developing count…
Multifractal invariant measures in expanding piecewise linear coupled maps
Deepak Jalla, Kiran M. Kolwankar
We analyze invariant measures of two coupled piecewise linear and everywhere expanding maps on the synchronization manifold. We observe that though the individual maps have simple…
Chaotic Properties of Single Element Nonlinear Chimney Model: Effect of Directionality
Anisha R. V. Kashyap, Kiran M. Kolwankar
We generalize the chimney model by introducing nonlinear restoring and gravitational forces for the purpose of modeling swaying of trees at high wind speeds. We have derived genera…
Separable local fractional differential equations
Kiran M. Kolwankar
The concept of local fractional derivative was introduced in order to be able to study the local scaling behavior of functions. However it has turned out to be much more useful. It…
Effect of heat source on the growth of dendritic drying patterns
Kiran M. Kolwankar, Pulkit Prakash, Shruthi Radhakrishnan +4
Shining a tightly-focused but low-powered laser beam on an absorber dispersed in a biological fluid gives rise to spectacular growth of dendritic patterns. These result from locali…
