Yours faithfully, Alexey N. Karapetyants and Stefan Samko, On behalf of Organizing and Program Committees ——– Mini-symposium on ”Fractional Calculus and Probability” at the AMMCS – CAIMS 2015 Congress June 7-12, 2015, Waterloo, Ontario - Canada http://www.ammcs-caims2015.wlu.ca/special-sessions/fcp/ In recent years, the relationship between time-modified L´evy processes and related non-local operators has been investigated in depth. Interest- ingly, these processes turn out to be useful in modelling several systems in physics, geophysics and biology and even in the social sciences. In this special session, recent mathematical results will be presented with an em- phasis on applications. If you intend to submit your paper, please go to the AMMCS-CAIMS 2015 Proceedings page.

Meerschaert, [email protected]. ——– 7th Conference on Non-integer Order Calculus and its Applications (RRNR 2015), August 28–29, 2015, Szczecin, Poland EDITORIAL 3 Website: http://www.rrnr.zut.edu.pl Visit also: http://www.mmar.edu.pl The Conference is organized by Faculty of Electrical Engineering, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, under the auspices of the Committee of Automation and Robotics Polish Academy of Sciences. It is a scientific event, whose aim is to provide a common platform for exchange of new ideas and results in the theory and applications of fractional order systems. This is an international conference, being orga- nized in various Polish cities; see our history on www.rrnr.zut.edu.pl. The acronym RRNR comes from the Polish name of the first event ”Rachunek R´ozniczkowy Niecalkowitego Rz¸edu”. The usual number of the conference participants is not large and varies between 30 to 40 thus it gives a good opportunity to a fruitful discussion and exchange of ideas. The RRNR Conference itself is free of charge. The participants cover the cost of travel and accommodation. All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a book series Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering. ——– International Symposium on Fractional Signals and Systems (FSS 2015), October 1 – 3, 2015, Cluj-Napoca, Romania http://www.fss-conference.com The organizing committee has the pleasure of inviting you to participate at the International Symposium on Fractional Signals and Systems, FSS 2015, hosted by the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

New Books ——– R. Gorenflo, A.A. Kilbas, F. Mainardi, S.V. Rogosin, Mittag-Leffler Functions, Related Topics and Applications. Sprin- ger Monographs in Mathematics, Springer, 2014, 443 p., 7 illus., ISBN 978-3-662-43930-2. Details at: http://www.springer.com/mathematics/analysis/book/ 978-3-662-43929-6?wt mc=Alerts.NBA.SpringerAuthors-Nov-6. There the readers can download Table of Contents and Sample Pages. Annotation: – Unique project to be realized in the theory of special functions. – Presents a complete and self-contained description of all aspects of the theory and application of the Mittag-Leffler functions. – The introduced functions are of great importance for solving differential and integral equations of fractional order. As a result of researchers and scientists increasing interest in pure as well as applied mathematics in non-conventional models, particularly those using fractional calculus, Mittag-Leffler functions have recently caught the interest of the scientific community. Focusing on the theory of the Mittag- Leffler functions, the present volume offers a self-contained, comprehensive treatment, ranging from rather elementary matters to the latest research results. In addition to the theory the authors devote some sections of the work to the applications, treating various situations and processes in viscoelasticity, physics, hydrodynamics, diffusion and wave phenomena, as well as stochastics. In particular the Mittag-Leffler functions allow us to describe phenomena in processes that progress or decay too slowly to be represented by classical functions like the exponential function and its suc- cessors. EDITORIAL 5 The book is intended for a broad audience, comprising graduate stu- dents, university instructors and scientists in the field of pure and applied mathematics, as well as researchers in applied sciences like mathematical physics, theoretical chemistry, bio-mathematics, theory of control, and sev- eral other related areas.
