Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Numerical analysis is a major branch of mathematics and consists of mathematical approximation techniques and computational methods.

Numerical methods are applied in all fields of engineering, physical sciences, life sciences, social sciences, medicine, business, etc. The main interests of numerical schemes include approximation, simulation, and estimation, and they are used in virtually every scientific field.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: numerical approaches and solutions to ordinary differential equations (ODEs), partial differential equations (PDEs), stochastic differential equations (SDEs), delay differential equations (DDEs), differential-algebraic equations (DAEs), numerical stability, interpolation, approximation, quadrature methods, numerical linear algebra, initial and boundary conditions, numerical fractional analyses, optimization, integral equations, iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations and systems, etc., and their applications for solving real problems in the sciences and engineering.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Avrilia Konguetsof

The Mittag-Leffler function holds significant importance in fractional calculus due to its extensive applications in addressing challenges across science, engineering, biology, hydrology, and earth sciences. Notably, the closed-form solution of a time-fractional model naturally emerges as the Mittag-Leffler function (MLF), necessitating precise and efficient computations. Consequently, numerical approximations are essential for accurately calculating the Mittag-Leffler function. In this study, we develop a straightforward yet precise real pole rational approximation for the Mittag-Leffler function. We demonstrate first-order convergence and L-acceptability, which aid in mitigating unwanted oscillations. Additionally, we create an effective and precise first-order generalized exponential time differencing scheme to solve the time-fractional reaction–diffusion equations. We obtain and prove the convergence result using Grönwall-type inequality. Several numerical experiments are conducted to confirm the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed numerical scheme compared with exact solutions. The computational efficiency of the proposed method is compared with another existing first-order numerical technique. Furthermore, our proposed scheme is crucial for developing higher-order predictor–corrector schemes for solving time-fractional models. Full article

In this paper, we initiate the study of the asymptotic and oscillatory properties of solutions to third-order functional differential equations. Using the Riccati transformation to eliminate the existence of non-oscillatory solutions, we derive various oscillation criteria that address different models of the studied equation. Our primary focus is on reducing the constraints imposed on oscillation criteria, thereby broadening their applicability. Our results improve, refine, and extend some of the known findings in previous studies. Several examples are presented to illustrate the significance of the main results. Full article
