Dumitru is a Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics, Lebanese American University, Beirut, Lebanon. Dumitru got his PhD from the Institute of Atomic Physics in 1996. His fields of interest include the fractional dynamics and its applications, fractional differential equations and their applications, discrete mathematics, image processing, bio-informatics, mathematical biology, mathematical physics, soliton theory, Lie symmetry, dynamic systems on time scales, computational complexity, the wavelet method and its applications, quantization of systems with constraints, the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, geometries admitting generic and non-generic symmetries.
Dumitru is a pioneer of the fractional variational principles and their applications in control theory. Dumitru wrote for the first time the fractional Euler-Lagrange equations for fields in the seminal paper entitled “Lagrangian formulation of classical fields within Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives”, by Dumitru Baleanu and Sami I. Muslih, Physica Scripta ,72 ( 2-3) 119-121(2005). Besides, in the following paper entitled “A Hamiltonian formulation and a direct numerical scheme for fractional optimal control problems”, by Agrawal Om Prakash and Baleanu Dumitru, Journal of Vibration and Control 13 (9-10),1269-1281, we firstly formulated the fractional optimal control problems in terms of Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives.
Dumitru is one of the co-authors of the seminal paper entitled “Anomalous diffusion expressed through fractional order differential operators in the Bloch-Torrey equation”, by Richard Magin, Dumitru Baleanu, Abdullah Osama and Zhou Xiaohong Joe, Journal of Magnetic Resonance 190 (2), 255-270 (2008),which plays nowadaws a fundamental role within diffusion weighted MRI.
Dumitru had an important role in developing the non-singular operators with Mittag-Leffler kernels and the related modified version as well as their applications in real world phenomena. Also, Dumitru introduced, for the first time, the geometrical meaning of the fractional Mittag-Leffler kernel in the complex domain. The results were published in the paper entitled “Modified Atangana-Baleanu fractional differentıal operators”,by Rabha W. Ibrahim and Dumitru Baleanu,Proceedings of the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics, National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan Volume 48, Special Issue, 2022, Pages 56–67.
We know that dealing with nonsingular kernels it is a very difficult task mainly because their unsolved restrictions at origin. However, in the paper entitled “On an extension of the operator with Mittag-Leffler kernel”, by Mohhamed Al-Refai and Dumitru Baleanu Fractals, 30(51), 2022, Article number 2240129, it was first time formulated an interesting extension of the fractional operator involving the Mittag-Leffler kernel which admits integrable singular kernel at the origin. Besides, new solutions of the related differential equations were reported together with some perspectives from the modelling viewpoint.
