The IMM today hosted an outstanding talk by Professor Ali Akgül, a researcher at Siirt University (Turkey), in an event that was held in face-to-face and online format, bringing together experts and students interested in the advancement of applied mathematics.
After the presentation by the IMM director, Juan Carlos Cortés, Professor Akgül presented an exhaustive study on fractional, fractal and conformable derivatives, addressing their theoretical foundations and their growing relevance in real applications. The lecture put special emphasis on how these derivative models offer new tools to tackle complex problems in various branches of engineering.
One of the highlights of the talk was the presentation of novel applications in engineering, illustrating the potential of these derivatives to model phenomena with greater accuracy and flexibility compared to classical techniques. Akgül showed how, by using integral transforms, it is possible to derive new transfer functions that expand the range of tools available in the analysis and design of dynamic systems.
The session included a series of graphical simulations, which allowed to visualize the behavior of these mathematical tools in applied contexts, highlighting their advantages in terms of stability, accuracy and modeling capabilities.
The talk has been very well received by the attendees, both in the IMM Seminar and through the online broadcast, consolidating the role of the institute as a reference forum for the exchange of ideas in advanced mathematics and its interdisciplinary application.
