Review text

In the more than three decades since the first studies, the theory of fuzzy differential equations has experienced an intense development, materialized through an impressive series of papers and books. However, the theory of fuzzy differential equations remains an open field for research because a number of problems are still unresolved, especially regarding the qualitative theory of these equations. In recent years, the fuzzy fractional differential equations have begun to be studied intensively, as a distinct chapter in the theory of fuzzy differential equations. In this book, the first of its kind in the literature, the author presents some significant results obtained in the theory of fuzzy fractional differential equations, while emphasizing his own contributions. The book is structured in six chapters, the first being dedicated to a brief introduction to the issue of uncertainty phenomena. The second chapter is dedicated to fuzzy mathematical analysis and it contains the main properties of operations with fuzzy numbers, as well as the differential and integral calculus for fuzzy-valued functions. In the third chapter, the author first presents the concept of fuzzy Riemann-Liouville fractional integral, after which he presents the main fuzzy fractional derivatives, such as: fuzzy Grunwald-Letnikov derivative, fuzzy Riemann-Liouville derivative, fuzzy Caputo derivative, as well as other types of fuzzy fractional derivatives (such as fuzzy Caputo-Katugampola fractional derivative) recently introduced in the literature, but whose paternity is uncertain. Chapter four is dedicated to presenting the results of the theory of fuzzy fractional differential equations involving a generalized type of fuzzy Caputo derivative. In the first paragraph of the chapter, some results on the existence and uniqueness of the solution for fuzzy differential fractional equations are presented. In the next paragraph of this chapter, the author presents the theory of Laplace transformation for fuzzy-valued functions, as well as its applications to solving fuzzy differential equations. Another paragraph of this chapter has been dedicated to present some results of the existence and uniqueness of the solution for fuzzy impulsive fractional differential equations. Some applications of the fuzzy impulsive fractional differential equations in engineering science are also presented. In the last paragraph of the chapter, the author presents some results on fractional hyperbolic functions and their role in determining the concrete solution for fuzzy linear fractional differential equations involving the fuzzy Riemann-Liouville derivative. In Chapter five, the author presents some numerical and analytical methods for solving fuzzy differential fractional equations. Much of the last chapter is devoted to the presentation of the applications of fuzzy fractional differential equations to the fuzzy optimal control problems. A distinct part of the last chapter is dedicated to the presentation of fuzzy fractional diffusion equations and their applications to the drug release for tumor of cancer. There are some shortcomings of this book, such as: a small number of references compared to the very large number of publications in the field, lack of bibliographic references in the text, fact which makes impossible to identify the true source of the results from the book, as well as the lack of a short history of the development of the theory of fuzzy fractional differential equations. However, we believe that this book can be useful for researchers but also for those who want to initiate in the field of fuzzy fractional differential equations.
