This study investigated instructional methods for fractional division emphasizing algebraic thinking with sixth graders. Specifically, instructional elements for fractional division emphasizing algebraic thinking were derived from literature reviews, and the fractional division instruction was reorganized on the basis of key elements. The instructional elements were as follows: (a) exploring the relationship between a dividend and a divisor; (b) generalizing and representing solution methods; and (c) justifying solution methods. The instruction was analyzed in terms of how the key elements were implemented in the classroom. This paper focused on the fractional division instruction with problem contexts to calculate the quantity of a dividend corresponding to the divisor 1. The students in the study could explore the relationship between the two quantities that make the divisor 1 with different problem contexts: partitive division, determination of a unit rate, and inverse of multiplication. They also could generalize, represent, and justify the solution methods of dividing the dividend by the numerator of the divisor and multiplying it by the denominator. However, some students who did not explore the relationship between the two quantities and used only the algorithm of fraction division had difficulties in generalizing, representing, and justifying the solution methods. This study would provide detailed and substantive understandings in implementing the fractional division instruction emphasizing algebraic thinking and help promote the follow-up studies related to the instruction of fractional operations emphasizing algebraic thinking.

In order to design fractional factorial experiments which include some debarred combinations, we should select defining contrasts so that those combinations are to be excluded. Choi(1999) presented a method of selectign defining contrasts to construct orthogonal 3-level fractional factorial experiments which exclude some debarred combinations. In this paper, we extend Choi's method to general p-level fractional factorial experiments to select defining contrasts which cold exclude some debarred combinations.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and diagnose the type of errors indicated by the students in the process of calculation of the fractional multiplication and division, and to propose teaching methods, to effectively correct errors. The results obtained through this study are as follows. First, based on the results of the preliminary examination, 6 types of errors of the fractional multiplication and division has been organized. In particular, the most frequent types of errors are algorithm errors. Therefore, a teacher should explain the meaning and concept of fractional multiplication and division. Second, 4 prescription methods are proposed for understanding fractional multiplication and division. Third, according to the results of this study, it was effective to diagnose underachievers' error types and give corrective lesson according to the cause of the error types. Throughout the study, it's concluded that it is necessary to analyze and diagnose the error types of fractional multiplication and division, and then a teacher can correct error types by 4 proposed prescription methods. Also, 5 students showed interest while learning, and participated actively.

A large part of students' difficulties with fractional division algorithms in the current algorithm textbooks, seem to be due to self-induction methods. Through concrete analysis of surveys and interviews, we confirmed the educational value of fractional algorithms used to elicit alternative ways of context of determination of a unit rate. In addition, we suggested alternative methods based on the results of the teaching methods and curriculum configuration.

Recently many effort appears applying the concept of fractional calculus that can be represented by fractional differential equation in the control engineering, physics and mathematics. This paper describes the fractional order with real order for Duffing equation which can be represented by integer order. This paper also confirms the existence of chaotic behaviors by using time series and phase portrait with varying the parameter of real order.

Three hundred years ago, the fractional differential equation that is one of concept of fractional calculus released. Now, many researchers continue to try best effort applying into the control engineering, mathematics and physics. In this paper, the dynamics equation which is represented by Van der Pol, represent integer order and fractional order that having real order. Then this paper performs the comparisons between integer and real order as time series and phase portrait according to variation of parameter value for real order.

In this paper, we propose a new scheme to suppress the narrowband interference (NBI) in OFDM-based systems. The scheme utilizes code division multiple access (CDMA) and weighted-type fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT) domain preprocessing technologies. Through setting the WFRFT order, the scheme can switch into a single carrier (SC) or a multi-carrier (MC) frequency division multiple access block transmission system. The residual NBI can be eliminated to the maximum extent when the WFRFT order is selected properly. Final simulation results show that the proposed system can outperform MC and SC with CDMA and frequency domain preprocessing in terms of the narrowband interference suppression.

As a generalization of the Fourier transform, the fractional Fourier transform plays an important role both in theory and in applications of signal processing. We present a new approach to reach a uniform sampling theorem in the shift-invariant spaces associated with the fractional Fourier transform domain.

We consider multiobjective fractional programming problems with generalized invexity. An equivalent multiobjective programming problem is formulated by using a modification of the objective function due to Antczak. We give relations between a multiobjective fractional programming problem and an equivalent multiobjective fractional problem which has a modified objective function. And we present modified vector saddle point theorems.

In this paper, numerical techniques are presented for solving initial value problems of fractional differential equations with variable coefficients. The method is derived by applying a Taylor vector approximation. Moreover, the operational matrix of fractional integration of a Taylor vector is provided in order to transform the continuous equations into a system of algebraic equations. Furthermore, numerical examples demonstrate that this method is applicable and accurate.
