2022 March - 51 articles

Cover Story: This paper explores a class of fractional time-partial differential equations describing the dynamics of the fast action potential process in contractile myocytes. Homogeneous and nonhomogeneous solutions are derived. A numerical simulation concerning some of the proposed fractional solutions is put forth to provide a different modeling perspective on distinct phases of the cardiac membrane potential. Results indicate that the non-integer order diffusion-wave equation may be employed to model membrane potential dynamics with the fractional order working as an extra asset to modulate electricity conduction, particularly for lower fractional order values.
