“…The study of fractional calculus arises by the end of the seventeenth century. In the specialized literature, various contributions can be found, such as those on chemistry (Kirchner et al 2000), finance (Sabatelli et al 2002), hydrology (Schumer et al 2003), biology (Magin 2006), viscoelasticity (Larsson et al 2015), chaos synchronization (Su et al 2016), robotics (Kumar and Rana 2017), anomalous diffusion (Zhang et al 2017), anomalous heat-diffusion problems (Yang et al 2017a), advection-dispersion problems (Yuan et al 2016;Zhang, 2018;Li and Rui 2018), fractional Boussinesq equation (Yang et al 2017b), diffusion equations (Yang et al 2018), anomalous advection-dispersion equations (Liang et al 2018), solution of direct and inverse fractional advection-dispersion problem (Lobato et al 2019), and anomalous diffusion equations (Yang et al 2019).…”
