Neumann Problem for Second-Order Differential Equation with Fractional Derivative in the Analysis and Modeling of Structures Made of Viscoelastic Elements

Abstract

This article addresses a second-order differential equation containing a Gerasimov-Kaputo fractional differentiation operator of order less than two. The Neumann problem is formulated for this equation. A system of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for the considered homogeneous boundary problem of the second kind is found. A conjugate boundary problem for the Gerasimov-Kaputo fractional derivative is introduced. A biorthogonal system is obtained that is orthogonal to the found system of eigenfunctions. Visualizations of the eigenfunction system, biorthogonal system, and an example of eigenvalue distribution on the real axis are provided.
