Uncertain fractional differential equations model complex systems that exhibit memory effects and are influenced by human-based uncertainty. These equations provide a flexible and accurate framework for representing real-world phenomena, particularly in situations where traditional probabilistic methods are inadequate, such as modeling financial market systems where uncertainty and memory effects play a significant role. This research first presents an existence and uniqueness result for the uncertain fractional system with the φ-Hilfer fractional derivative, obtained via the successive approximation approach. Then the analytical solution is derived using the Mittag–Leffler function, and sample continuity is demonstrated under Lipschitz and linear growth conditions. To illustrate the applicability of the theory, we consider an interest rate model and provide two numerical examples to support the theoretical results on existence and uniqueness. All results are developed using the φ-Hilfer fractional derivative, which generalizes the Caputo, Hadamard, and Katugampola fractional derivatives. Consequently, the results are presented in a generalized form. Full article

This study presents results on the well-posedness, Ulam–Hyers stability, and mth moment averaging principle for the Itô–Doob fractional stochastic system within the framework of η-Caputo fractional derivatives. We demonstrate well-posedness using the fixed-point approach. A generalized Grönwall inequality is employed to establish sufficient conditions for Ulam–Hyers stability. Furthermore, we establish the averaging principle that facilitates obtaining a simplified averaged system from the original complex, multiple time-scale system. Finally, numerical simulations using the Euler–Maruyama method are provided to support the theoretical findings. Full article

Cavalieri estimation is a widely used technique in stereology (applied geometric sampling) for approximating the volume of a solid by sampling cross-sectional areas along a fixed axis. Classical theory shows that, under systematic equidistant sampling (the well-known Cavalieri estimator), the variance decay depends on the smoothness of the area function, which is essentially measured by the number of continuous derivatives. This paper focuses on the natural assumptions under which the theory holds. We first obtain sharp and explicit variance rates: when the Fourier decay is of order s>1/2, the variance of the Cavalieri estimator decays as t2s with a constant independent of t. Building on this, we show that the smoothness condition expressed in terms of the algebraic Fourier decay subsumes both integer- and fractional-order frameworks used to date. Finally, we establish a matching converse showing that, under general assumptions, no broader smoothness framework extends the theory; that is, any algebraic variance decay implies the corresponding Fourier decay.
