Combined impact of freezing and soaking times on different cowpea varieties' flour functionality and resultant gel strength, sensory and product yield of moi-moi

  • The preparation of moi-moi either from cowpea flour (processed by dry-milling) or paste (processed by wet-milling) has evolved from the indigenous processing methods. Feasibly, freezing should enhance the characteristics of the cowpea grain, and when combined with conventional processing, help to improve emergent products. In this current work, therefore, the combined impact of freezing with soaking times on different cowpea varieties' flour functionality and resultant gel strength, sensory and product yield of moi-moi were studied. Analysis of flour functionality involved the determinations of moisture content, bulk density, oil absorption capacity, swelling index and water absorption capacity, whereas those of moi-moi products involved gel strength, sensory and (product) yield. Across the cowpea flour samples, the functional attributes significantly differed (p < 0.05). Moi-moi products' gel strength of dry-milled appeared higher than wet-milled by specific variety and soaking times. Moi-moi products' sensory attributes of taste, color, texture and general acceptability resembled (p > 0.05), except for the aroma (p < 0.05). Moi-moi products' yield varied widely (p < 0.05) by different reconstituted water volumes. Overall, combining freezing with conventional processing that involved reconstituted water volumes of cowpea promises an enhanced moi-moi yield.

    The complexities of physical phenomena in nature have forced researchers into developing mathematical models that can be used to describe and capture the behavior of these natural occurrences. Traditional calculus may seem to be enough in solving problems that arise from science and engineering. However, many physical phenomena may better be described by fractional calculus because it is a well-suited tool to analyze problems of fractal dimension, with long term "memory" and chaotic behavior [1]. Some of the advantages of using fractional calculus over classical calculus are presented by authors in [2,3,4,5]. Even though fractional calculus was initially a pure mathematics idea and now regarded as a part of applied mathematics, its application has spread to other fields such as physics [3,6], economy [4], biology [3,5,7,8,9,10], probability[11], signal processing [12], quantitative biology, elasticity, diffusion process, systems identification, viscoelasticity [13], transport theory, electrochemistry, rheology, control theory, potential theory, and scattering theory [14,15]. Many authors have looked at the theoretical results based on the well-posedness of the fractional differential equations in different forms [16,17,18,19]. It is clear that for most fractional differential problems, analytical solutions are either impossible to find or are only possible under unrealistic simplifications. As a result, different numerical techniques have been presented by many authors, among which are the variational iteration method, finite difference schemes, Adomain's decomposition, Fourier spectral methods, homotopy analysis methods, A two-step Adams-Bashforth method [20], Haar wavelet numerical method [21], and many others that have been presented in [22].

    Another concept that has raised interest in researchers is chaotic systems. Chaotic behavior can be seen in a variety of systems such as fluid dynamics [23], population growth, the dynamics of molecular vibration, ecology, electric circuits, the time evolution of the magnetic field of celestial bodies, weather, mechanical devices, and laser [24]. Some of the applications of fractional calculus on systems that exhibit chaotic behavior are presented in [25,26,27,28,29,30]. In this study, we will consider a three-dimensional nonlinear chaotic system called the Lorenz chaotic system [31,32,33] introduced by Lorenz [34]. This chaotic system opened doors to the development of many other three-dimensional nonlinear chaotic systems such as stretch-twist-fold flow [30,35], Chen system [36], Rossler system [37] and Lui system [38].

    Recently a new concept of differential and integral operators called fractal-fractional differential and integral operators were introduced by Atangana [39], as the convolution of the generalized Mittag-Leffler law, exponential law, and power-law with fractal derivative. These operators consist of two orders, firstly the fractional-order q then the fractal dimension k. The purpose of the new operators is to attract nonlocal problems in nature that also display fractal behavior. The fractal-fractional derivatives find their applications in long-term relation description, macro, and micro-scaled phenomena, discontinuous differential problems, anomalous physical processes [40,41,42]. Many authors have looked and these operators and applied them to different fields. Authors such as Qureshi and Atangana [43] presented a paper where they used fractal-fractional differentiation to model and analyzed mathematically the dynamics of the transmission of diarrhea that occurred in Ghana between the year 2008 and 2018. A similar study was done by Srivastava, and Saad [44]. In their case, they used fractional fractal operators to model the ebola virus. The idea of modeling using fractal fractional derivative was also used by Atangana et al. [16] for fractional reaction-diffusion equations. Atangana and Qureshi [45] presented a paper where they used the fractional fractal operators to predict chaotic behavior of the Modified Lu Chen attractor, Modified Chua chaotic attractor, Lu Chen attractor, and Chen attractor.

    The rest of this paper is arranged in the following way. Under Section 2, we briefly discuss some of the properties and definitions used in this study. The Lorenz Chaotic system under the fractal fractional Caputo Fabrizio derivative is presented in Section 3. In Section 4, we look at the well-posedness of the solution. The numerical scheme is derived in 5. The numerical simulation and graphical results are presented in Section 6. Numerical discussion and error estimate in Sections 7. Lastly, the conclusion is in found Section 8.

    In this section, we will give a brief discussion of some important definitions and properties from fractal-fractional calculus that are useful for this paper.

    The following definitions are discussed in detail in [39].

    Definition 2.1. [39] Suppose that u(t) is a continuous function and fractal differentiable on an open interval (a,b) with order k then, a q order fractal-fractional derivative of the function u(t) in a Caputo sense with a power-law type kernel is given by:

    Dq,ka,t(u(t))=1Γ(nq)tadu(s)dsk(ts)nq1ds, (2.1)

    where 0<n1<q,knN and

    du(s)dsk=limtsu(x)u(s)tksk.

    A generalized version of the above equation is defined as follows:

    Dq,k,θa,t(u(t))=1Γ(nq)tadθu(s)dsk(ts)nq1ds, (2.2)

    and

    dθu(s)dsk=limtsuθ(x)uθ(s)tksk,

    where θ1.

    Definition 2.2. [39] Suppose that u(t) is a continuous function and fractal differentiable on an open interval (a,b) with order k then, a q order fractal-fractional derivative of the function u(t) in a Caputo sense with an exponential decay type kernel is given by:

    Dq,ka,t(u(t))=M(q)1qtadu(s)dskexp[q1q(ts)]ds, (2.3)

    where 0<q,knN and M(0)=M(1)=1.

    A generalized version of the above equation is defined as follows:

    Dq,k,θa,t(u(t))=M(q)1qtadθu(s)dskexp[q1q(ts)]ds, (2.4)

    where 0<q,k,θ1.

    Definition 2.3. [39] Suppose that u(t) is a continuous function and fractal differentiable on an open interval (a,b) with order k then, a q order fractal-fractional derivative of the function u(t) in a Caputo sense with the generalized Mittag-Leffler kernel is given by:

    Dq,ka,t(u(t))=AB(q)1qtadu(s)dskEq(q1q(ts)q)ds, (2.5)

    A generalized version of the above equation is defined as follows:

    Dq,k,θa,t(u(t))=AB(q)1qtadθu(s)dskEq(q1q(ts)q)ds, (2.6)

    where 0<α,β1 and AB(α)=1α+αΓ(α).

    Definition 2.4. [39] Suppose that u(t) is a continuous function and fractal differentiable on an open interval (a,b) with order k then, a q order fractal-fractional derivative of the function u(t) in a Caputo sense with exponential decay kernel is given by:

    Dq,ka,t(u(t))=M(q)(1q)ddsktau(s)exp[q1q(ts)2]ds, (2.7)

    where 0<q,kn and M(0)=M(1)=1.

    A generalized version of the above equation is defined as follows:

    Dq,k,θa,t(u(t))=M(q)(1q)dθdsktau(s)exp[q1q(ts)2]ds, (2.8)

    where 0<q,k,θ1.

    Definition 2.5. [39] Assuming that u(t) is a continuous function on (a,b), then a q order fractal-fractional integral of the function u(t) with power law type kernel is given by:

    Jq,ka,t(u(t))=kΓ(q)ta(ts)q1sk1u(s)ds. (2.9)

    Definition 2.6. [39] Assuming that u(t) is a continuous function on (a,b), then a q order fractal-fractional integral of the function u(t) with an exponential decaying type kernel is given by:

    Jq,ka,t(u(t))=qkM(q)tasq1u(s)ds+k(1q)tk1u(t)M(q). (2.10)

    Definition 2.7. [39] Assuming that u(t) is a continuous function on (a,b), then a q order fractal-fractional integral of the function u(t) with a generalized Mittag-Leffler type kernel is given by:

    Jq,ka,t(u(x))=qkAB(q)task1u(s)(ts)q1ds+k(1q)tk1u(t)AB(q). (2.11)

    In this section, we introduce the Lorenz chaotic system under the definition of fractal fractional Caputo-Fabrizio derivative.

    Consider the following three dimensional nonlinear chaotic system called the Lorenz chaotic system [24,46]

    x(t)=γ(yx),y(t)=ρxyxz,z(t)=xyδz, (3.1)

    where x=x(t), y=y(t), and z=z(t) are the dynamical variable of the system and γ, ρ, and δ are the related real constants parameters. Using the definition of the fractal-fractional derivative under the Riemann-Liouville sense with exponential decay kernel for each classical derivative equations in (3.1), we obtain

    RLDq,k0,tx(t)=Φ1(x,y,z,t),RLDq,k0,ty(t)=Φ2(x,y,z,t),RLDq,k0,tz(t)=Φ3(x,y,z,t), (3.2)

    where Φ1(x,y,z,t)=γ(yx), Φ2(x,y,z,t)=ρxyxz, and Φ3(x,y,z,t)=xyδz. The above system of equations can be written as follows

    RLDq,k0,tx(t)=M(q)1qddtkt0exp(q1q(ts))Φ1(x,y,z,s)ds,RLDq,k0,ty(t)=M(q)1qddtkt0exp(q1q(ts))Φ2(x,y,z,s)ds,RLDq,k0,tz(t)=M(q)1qddtkt0exp(q1q(ts))Φ3(x,y,z,s)ds. (3.3)

    Since the fractional integral is differentiable. We can rewrite the Eq (3.3) as

    RLDq,k0,tx(t)=M(q)1qddtt0exp(q1q(ts))Φ1(x,y,z,s)ds1ktk1,RLDq,k0,ty(t)=M(q)1qddtt0exp(q1q(ts))Φ2(x,y,z,s)ds1ktk1,RLDq,k0,tz(t)=M(q)1qddtt0exp(q1q(ts))Φ3(x,y,z,s)ds1ktk1. (3.4)

    Therefore, system (3.4) can be expressed as follows

    RLDq,k0,tx(t)=ktk1Φ1(x,y,z,t),RLDq,k0,ty(t)=ktk1Φ2(x,y,z,t),RLDq,k0,tz(t)=ktk1Φ3(x,y,z,t). (3.5)

    We now replace the Riemann-Liouville derivative with the Caputo-Fabrizio derivative to make use of the integer-order initial conditions. Thus from system (3.5) we get

    CFDq,k0,tx(t)=ktk1Φ1(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,ty(t)=ktk1Φ2(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,tz(t)=ktk1Φ3(x,y,z,t). (3.6)

    In this study, we will investigate the above system of equations.

    In this section, we use the Pichard Lindelof method [46,47,48] to show the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the following nonlinear system of equations

    CFDq,k0,tx(t)=ktk1Φ1(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,ty(t)=ktk1Φ2(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,tz(t)=ktk1Φ3(x,y,z,t), (4.1)

    subjected to the following initial conditions

    x(0)=x0,y(0)=y0,z(0)=z0.

    To show the existence and uniqueness of the solution we define the following operators.

    f1(t,x)=γ(yx),f2(t,y)=ρxyxz,f3(t,z)=xyδz, (4.2)

    Now, let

    Ca,b1=A1×B1,Ca,b2=A2×B2,Ca,b3=A3×B3, (4.3)

    where

    A1=A2=A3=[t0a,t0+a],B1=[x0b1,x0+b1],B2=[y0b2,y0+b2],B3=[z0b3,z0+b3], (4.4)

    We now want to show that f1,f2 and f3 satisfy the Lipschipitz conditions with respect to x,y,z respectively. This means that for any two given functions ψ1,ψ2C(A1,B1,B2,B3) there exists a positive constant k such that

    f(t,ψ1)f(t,ψ2)kψ1ψ2.

    For f1 we have

    f1(t,ψ1)f1(t,ψ2)=(γy(t)γψ1))(γy(t)γψ2)=γψ1+γψ2=γ(ψ1ψ2)|γ|ψ1ψ2. (4.5)

    Hence, f1 is satisfies the Lipschipitz conditions. For f2 we have

    f2(t,ψ1)f2(t,ψ2)=(ρx(t)ψ1x(t)z(t))(ρx(t)ψ2x(t)z(t))=ψ1+ψ2=(ψ1ψ2)ψ1ψ2. (4.6)

    Thus, f2 is satisfies the Lipschipitz conditions. For f3 we have

    f3(t,ψ1)f3(t,ψ2)=(x(t)y(t)δψ1)(x(t)y(t)δψ2))=δψ1+δψ2=δ(ψ1ψ2)|δ|ψ1ψ2. (4.7)

    Therefore, f3 satisfies the Lipschipitz conditions.

    Now, let

    M1=supCa,b1|f1(t,x)|,M2=supCa,b2|f2(t,y)|,M3=supCa,b3|f3(t,z)|, (4.8)

    We now continue to apply the Banach fixed point theorem using the metric on spaces of continuous functions C(A1,B1,B2,B3) induced by the norm

    f(t)=supt[t0a,t0+a]|f(t)|. (4.9)

    We now define the next operator between the two functional spaces of continuous functions, Picard's operator, as follows

    D:C(A1,B1,B2,B3)C(A1,B1,B2,B3). (4.10)

    Defined as follows

    DX(t)=X0(t)+ktk1(1q)M(q)F(t,X(t))+qkM(q)t0Λτ1F(Λ,X(Λ))dΛ (4.11)

    Where the matrix X is given as

    X(t)=[x(t)y(t)z(t)]
    X0(t)=[x0y0z0]

    and

    F(t,X(t))=[f1(t,x)f2(t,y)f3(t,z)]

    From (4.5)–(4.7) we can conclude that F(t,X(t)) satisfies Lipschipitz conditions with respect to the system state variable X(t). Now, we must show that this operator maps a complete nonempty space into itself. We first show that, given a certain restriction on a, D takes values in B1,B2,B3 in the space of continuous functions with uniform norm. To obtain good results, we assume that the problem under consideration satisfies

    X(t)=max{b1,b2,b3}=b

    implies

    DX(t)X0(t)=ktk1(1q)M(q)F(t,X(t))+qkM(q)t0Λk1F(Λ,X(Λ))dΛktk1(1q)M(q)F(t,X(t))+qkM(q)t0Λk1F(Λ,X(Λ))dΛktk1(1q)M(q)M+qkM(q).MakkMab, (4.12)

    where b=max{b1,b2,b3} and M=max{M1,M2,M3}. The last step is true if we impose the requirement a<bM.

    Using the maximum's metric

    DX1DX2=supt[t0a,t0+a]|X1X2|. (4.13)

    We want to show that the operator is a contraction mapping. So, we have

    DX(t)X0(t)=tk1(1q)M(q)[F(t,X1(t))F(t,X2(t))]+qkM(q)t0Λk1[F(Λ,X1(Λ))F(Λ,X2(Λ))]dΛktk1(1q)M(q)F(t,X1(t))F(t,X2(t))+qkM(q)t0λk1F(Λ,X1(Λ))F(Λ,X2(Λ))dΛktk1(1q)M(q)pX1(t)X2(t)+qkM(q)t0Λk1F(Λ,X1(Λ))F(Λ,X2(Λ))dΛF is Lipschitz continuousktk1(1q)M(q)pX1(t)X2(t)+qakpM(q)X1(t)X2(t)=(pktk1(1q)M(q)+qakpM(q))X1(t)X2(t)apX1(t)X2(t) (4.14)

    with p<1. Since F is Lipschitz continuous, we have that the operator D is a contraction for arp<1. Hence, this shows that the system under consideration has a unique set of solution.

    In this section, we present the numerical scheme for the Caputo Fabrizio fractal fractional derivative of the Lorenz chaotic system. The chaotic model (3.1) can be converted to

    CFDq,k0,tx(t)=ktk1Φ1(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,ty(t)=ktk1Φ2(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,tz(t)=ktk1Φ3(x,y,z,t). (5.1)

    Where

    Φ1(x,y,z,t)=γ(yx),Φ2(x,y,z,t)=ρxyxz,Φ2(x,y,z,t)=xyδz.

    When we apply the Caputo-Fabrizio integral to (5.1), we get

    x(t)x(0)=ktk1(1q)M(q)Φ1(x,y,z,t)+qkM(q)t0Λk1Φ1(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ,y(t)y(0)=ktk1(1q)M(q)Φ2(x,y,z,t)+qkM(q)t0Λk1Φ2(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ,z(t)z(0)=ktk1(1q)M(q)Φ3(x,y,z,t)+qkM(q)t0Λk1Φ3(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ. (5.2)

    For a positive integer n, the solution of the system of Eq (5.1) at t=tn+1 becomes,

    x(tn+1)x(0)=ktk1n(1q)M(q)Φ1(x(tn),y(tn),z(tn),tn)+qkM(q)tn+10Λk1Φ1(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ,y(tn+1)y(0)=ktk1n(1q)M(q)Φ2(x(tn),y(tn),z(tn),tn)+qkM(q)tn+10Λk1Φ2(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ,z(tn+1)z(0)=ktk1n(1q)M(q)Φ3(x(tn),y(tn),z(tn),tn)+qkM(q)tn+10Λk1Φ3(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ. (5.3)

    and at t=tn, we obtain

    x(tn)x(0)=ktk1n1(1q)M(q)Φ1(x(tn1),y(tn1),z(tn1),tn1)+qkM(q)tn0Λk1Φ1(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ,y(tn)y(0)=ktk1n1(1q)M(q)Φ2(x(tn1),y(tn1),z(tn1),tn1)+qkM(q)tn0Λk1Φ2(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ,z(tn)z(0)=ktk1n1(1q)M(q)Φ3(x(tn1),y(tn1),z(tn1),tn1)+qkM(q)tn0Λk1Φ3(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ. (5.4)

    Taking the difference between (5.4) and (5.3), we get

    x(tn+1)x(tn)=ktk1n(1q)M(q)Φ1(x(tn),y(tn),z(tn),tn)ktk1n1(1q)M(q)Φ1(x(tn1),y(tn1),z(tn1),tn1)+qkM(q)tn+1tnΛk1Φ1(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ,y(tn+1)y(tn)=ktk1n(1q)M(q)Φ2(x(tn),y(tn),z(tn),tn)ktk1n1(1q)M(q)Φ2(x(tn1),y(tn1),z(tn1),tn1)+qkM(q)tn+1tnΛk1Φ1(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ,z(tn+1)z(tn)=ktk1n(1q)M(q)Φ3(x(tn),y(tn),z(tn),tn)ktk1n1(1q)M(q)Φ3(x(tn1),y(tn1),z(tn1),tn1)+qkM(q)tn+1tnΛk1Φ3(x,y,z,Λ)dΛ. (5.5)

    We now approximate the functions Λk1Φ1(x,y,z,Λ), Λk1Φ2(x,y,z,Λ) and Λk1Φ3(x,y,z,Λ) on the finite interval [tn,tn+1] using the piece-wise Lagrangian interpolation such as

    Substituting (5.6) into (5.5) and integrating, we obtain

    x(tn+1)x(tn)=ktk1n(3qt2M(q)+(1q)M(q))Φ1(x(tn),y(tn),z(tn),tn)ktk1n1(qt2M(q)+(1q)M(q))Φ1(x(tn1),y(tn1),z(tn1),tn1),y(tn+1)y(tn)=ktk1n(3qt2M(q)+(1q)M(q))Φ2(x(tn),y(tn),z(tn),tn)ktk1n1(qt2M(q)+(1q)M(q))Φ2(x(tn1),y(tn1),z(tn1),tn1),z(tn+1)z(tn)=ktk1n(3qt2M(q)+(1q)M(q))Φ3(x(tn),y(tn),z(tn),tn)ktk1n1(qt2M(q)+(1q)M(q))Φ3(x(tn1),y(tn1),z(tn1),tn1), (5.7)

    Therefore, we have completed the derivation of the numerical scheme used in this study.

    In the previous section, we presented a numerical scheme under the Caputo-Fabrizio fractal-fractional derivative operator. In this section, we aim to use the numerical scheme presented to approximate the graphical solution for the Lorenz chaotic systems under the Caputo-Fabrizio fractal-fractional derivative operator for different values of the fractional dimension q and the fractal dimension k. We now look at the following examples:

    Example 1. Consider the following system of equations

    CFDq,k0,tx(t)=ktk1Φ1(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,ty(t)=ktk1Φ2(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,tz(t)=ktk1Φ3(x,y,z,t), (6.1)

    where Φ1(x,y,z,t)=γ(yx), Φ2(x,y,z,t)=ρxyxz, and Φ2(x,y,z,t)=xyδz. With parameter values γ=10, ρ=28 and δ=83. In this example we solve the system (6.1) using the initial conditions x(0)=y(0)=z(0)=1. The graphical numerical simulations for different values of q and k for this example are presented in Figures 14.

    Figure 1.  The dynamical behavior of the Lorenz chaotic system (6.1), using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractal-fractional derivative operator for different values of k and q.
    Figure 2.  The dynamical behavior of the Lorenz chaotic system (6.1), using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractal-fractional derivative operator for different values of k and q.

    Figure 4.  The dynamical behavior of the Lorenz chaotic system (6.1), using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractal-fractional derivative operator for different values of k and q.

    Example 2. For the the second example, we consider the system of equation in example 1 with different initial conditions. Consider the following system of equations

    CFDq,k0,tx(t)=ktk1Φ1(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,ty(t)=ktk1Φ2(x,y,z,t),CFDq,k0,tz(t)=ktk1Φ3(x,y,z,t). (6.2)

    In this example, we solve the system (6.2) using the initial conditions x(0)=0, y(0)=2 and z(0)=20. The graphical numerical simulations for different values of q and k for this example are presented in Figures 58.

    Figure 5.  The dynamical behavior of the Lorenz chaotic system (6.1), using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractal-fractional derivative operator for different values of k and q.
    Figure 6.  The dynamical behavior of the Lorenz chaotic system (6.1), using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractal-fractional derivative operator for different values of k and q.

    Figure 8.  The dynamical behavior of the Lorenz chaotic system (6.1), using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractal-fractional derivative operator for different values of k and q.

    In Example 1 and 2, we modeled the Lorenz chaotic system with initial conditions x(0)=y(0)=z(0)=1 and x(0)=0,y(0)=2 and z(0)=20 respectively, using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractal-fractional derivative operator. We then solved the obtained nonlinear systems of equations using a numerical scheme for different fractal dimensions k and fractional order q. Figures 14 represent the graphical simulation, for example, 1, and Figures 58 represent the graphical simulation, for example 2. In both examples, we noticed that the fractal power k=1 and the fractional power q=1 recover the classical two-step Adams-Bashforth method and the classical differential and integral operators. Figures 1(a) and Figures 5(a) represents the graphical solutions for the case where k=1 and q=1 for example 1 and example 2, respectively. While solving the systems of equations, we noticed that for some values of k and q the solution blows up.

    For both examples, we noticed that if we keep q=1 and vary the value of k we can obtain graphical solutions for as far as k=0.10, see Figures 1 and 5 but if we make k=1 and vary the value of q the solution of the nonlinear system of equation blows up for some values of q. Keeping one variable constant and varying the others, we noticed that for the following values some values of k and q the solutions blow up, see Figure 2(d), 3(b), 3(d), 3(f), 3(h), 4(c)(h) and for example 2, see Figure 6(c), 6(g), 7(b), 7(e), 7(g), 8(a), 8(c) and 8(f)(h).

    Taking into consideration that the chaotic systems are sensitive to initial conditions. Comparing the values for which the solution blows up between the two examples might give us an idea of the factors contributing to the blowing up of the solution. The following table shows a comparison of the values for which the solution blows up.

    From Table 1, we can see that the solution for Example 1 for some values of k and q blows up faster than those in Example 2. This means that the choice of the initial conditions of the nonlinear system of equations also contributes to when the solution blows up for the nonlinear system under investigation.

    In this section, we use numerical results obtained from the numerical scheme to estimate the rate of convergence using the following

    p=log|uh2uhuh4uh2|log2

    where uh={xh(t),yh(t),zh(t)}, uh2={xh2(t),yh2(t),zh2(t)} and uh4={xh4(t),yh4(t),zh4(t)} are the approximate solutions to u(x)={x(t),y(t),z(t)} for the step size h, h2 and h4 respectively.

    The results in Tables 27 depict order one and two rate of convergence. However, this approach might not be entirely reliable because we deal with chaotic systems that are extremely sensitive to initial conditions. Some other methods are proposed in [49,50].

    In this study, we used the newly proposed Caputo Fabrizio fractal fractional operator with different fractal dimension k and fractional order q, to capture and analyze the dynamical behavior of the Lorenz chaotic system. We present the numerical scheme used to solve the system of nonlinear equations and obtained graphical numerical simulations for different values of q and k. We noticed that for the fractal dimension k=1 and fractional order q=1 we obtain a two-step Adams Bashforth method and the classical differential and integral operators. We also noticed that for some values of q and k the solutions blow up. Taking into consideration that the chaotic systems are sensitive to initial conditions we compared two examples of the same nonlinear system of equations with different initial conditions, we noticed that the choice of the initial conditions also affect when some solutions blow up. For future work, we want to find out what other factors contribute to the blowing up of the solutions for some values of q and k.
