Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is well known that dynamical systems have a lot of applications in modeling the dynamics of many real-life phenomena and processes, including physics, chemistry, engineering, life sciences, economic, etc.

In the stability theory of linear dynamical systems, a central problem is finding conditions for the existence of stability, dichotomy, or trichotomy of their solutions.

This Special Issue of Axioms deals with the stability theory of continuous and discrete dynamical systems and their advanced applications. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Ordinary differential equations;
  • Partial differential equations;
  • Delay differential equations;
  • Fractional differential equations;
  • Functional equations;
  • Integral equations;
  • Impulsive equations;
  • Dynamical systems on time scales;
  • Difference equations;
  • Stochastic processes.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Many authors consider modified SIQR (susceptible, infected, isolated (quarantined), and recovered individuals) models for childhood diseases. In this paper, we examine a modified differential system with N free parameters that may be of interest to epidemiology experts. We pay special attention to the Melnikov function, which corresponds to the proposed new model. We create the Melnikov equation (M(t)=0) and analyze all of its roots using a specially designed software program. This gives the researcher the chance to accurately comprehend and articulate the classical Melnikov criterion for the potential appearance of chaos in the dynamical system. Additionally, we present a few specific modules for examining the new model’s dynamics. Additionally covered is a potential use of the Melnikov function that corresponds to the differential model under consideration, with particular potential in the modeling and synthesis of antenna diagrams. Last but not least, we consider the proposed generalization from a stochastic point of view. Full article

The coupled nonlinear system of fractional Boussinesq–Burger equations that may be utilized to model the propagation of shallow water waves is solved in this study using a novel numerical approach. The fractional derivatives in Caputo–Fabrizio and Atangana–Baleanu manner are executed in the system under consideration. The exact solutions of the proposed nonlinear fractional system are shown in the classical scenario of fractional order at ß=1, whereas the approximate solutions are derived using the natural decomposition method. The series solution is generated such that it is simple to compute. Our results are compared with the exact results which clearly show that the suggested approach solutions quickly converge to the known accurate results. We acquire some analysis of the absolute error by comparing the approximate values with their corresponding precise solutions throughout the provided computations. Numerical and graphical simulations are used to confirm the usefulness of the suggested approach, and the outcomes are compared with well-known methods like the fractional decomposition method (FDM) and Laplace residual power series method (LRPSM). It is evident from the comparison that our approach offers better outcomes compared to other approaches. The results of the suggested method are very accurate and give helpful details on the real dynamics of the proposed system. The obtained outcomes ensure that the suggested approach is more effective and examines the highly nonlinear problems arising in engineering and science. Full article

Solutions to the Davey–Stewartson equations (DS) in terms of the determinants of order 2N depending on 4N real parameters are constructed. The Darboux transformation is used to construct solutions of order N to this equation. We obtain a representation of the solutions to the equations (DS) in terms of two Wronskians. We obtain what we call a double Wronskian representation of the solutions to the (DS) equations. With this method, some particular explicit solutions for the first orders are constructed.

In this paper, we establish an age-structured SEIAR epidemic model that incorporates media effects and employ the exponential function approach to demonstrate the crucial role of media influence in disease prevention and control. Notably, our model accounts for the possibility of recessive infected individuals becoming dominant through contact with infectious individuals. Theoretical analysis yields the explicit expression for the basic reproduction number R0, which serves as a critical threshold for disease dynamics. Through comprehensive threshold analysis, we investigate the existence and stability of both disease-free and endemic equilibrium states. By applying characteristic equation analysis and the method of characteristics, we establish the following: (1) when R0<1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; (2) when R0>1, a unique endemic equilibrium exists and maintains local asymptotic stability under specific conditions. This study shows that strengthening media promotion, raising awareness, and reducing the density of recessive infected individuals can effectively control the further spread of a disease. To validate our theoretical results, we present numerical simulations that quantitatively assess the impact of varying media reporting intensities on epidemic containment measures. These simulations provide practical insights for public health intervention strategies. Full article

Neutral transmission line models are essential for analyzing stability and periodicity in systems influenced by nonlinear and delayed dynamics, particularly in modern smart grids. This study utilizes Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorem to establish sufficient conditions for the existence and asymptotic stability of periodic solutions, eliminating the need for differentiability in delay terms and coefficients. The results extend existing findings and are validated through a single test example, demonstrating the theoretical applicability of the proposed approach. These findings provide a mathematical framework for understanding the behavior of power distribution systems under nonlinear and delayed influences. Full article
