Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect new and original results in relation to differential equations. Papers related to theoretical aspects, numerical schemes, and various types of stability (Ulam stability, numerical stability, etc.) are welcome. Differential equations model a wide range of problems in engineering, economics, biology, chemistry, medicine, etc. Over the last few years, fractional differential equations have been successfully applied to the study of numerous physical problems in the areas of electronics, chemistry, biology, mechanics, chaos, fluid mechanics, epidemiology, and modelling. Real-world applications, therefore, facilitate interdisciplinary research. Hence, this Special Issue aims to bring mathematicians together with physicists, engineers, and other scientists, for whom differential equations are valuable research tools.

Our goal in this work is to solve the fractional Bratu equation, where the fractional derivative is of the Caputo type. As we know, the nonlinearity and derivative of the fractional type are two challenging subjects in solving various equations. In this paper, two approaches based on the collocation method using Müntz–Legendre wavelets are introduced and implemented to solve the desired equation. Three different types of collocation points are utilized, including Legendre and Chebyshev nodes, as well as uniform meshes. According to the experimental observations, we can confirm that the presented schemes efficiently solve the equation and yield superior results compared to other existing methods. Also, the schemes are convergent. Full article

This paper focuses on establishing new criteria to guarantee the oscillation of solutions for second-order differential equations with a superlinear and a damping term. New sufficient conditions are presented, aimed at analysing the oscillatory properties of the solutions to the equation under study. To prove these results, we employed various analysis methods, establishing new relationships to address certain problems that have hindered previous research. Consequently, by applying the principles of comparison and the Riccati transformation, we obtained findings that develop and complement those reported in earlier literature. The significance of our results is illustrated with several examples. Full article

The homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is one of the recent fundamental methods for solving differential equations. However, checking the accuracy of this method has been ignored by some authors in the literature. This paper reanalyzes the nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) describing the SIR epidemic model, which has been solved in the literature utilizing the HPM. The main objective of this work is to obtain a highly accurate analytical solution for this model via a direct technique. The proposed technique is mainly based on reducing the given system to a single nonlinear ODE that can be easily solved. Numerical results are conducted to compare our approach with the previous HPM, where the Runge–Kutta numerical method is chosen as a reference solution. The obtained results reveal that the current technique exhibits better accuracy over HPM in the literature. Moreover, some physical properties are introduced and discussed in detail regarding the influence of the transmission rate on the behavior of the SIR model. Full article

In this paper, we compare the performances of two Butcher-based block hybrid methods for the numerical integration of initial value problems. We compare the condition numbers of the linear system of equations arising from both methods and the absolute errors of the solution obtained. The results of the numerical experiments illustrate that the better conditioned method outperformed its less conditioned counterpart based on the absolute errors. In addition, after applying our method on some examples, it was discovered that the absolute errors in this work were better than those of a recent study in the literature. Hence, we recommend this method for the numerical solution of stiff and non-stiff initial value problems. Full article

The standard pantograph delay equation (SPDDE) is one of the famous delay models. This standard model is basically homogeneous in nature and it has been extensively studied in the literature. However, the studies on the general inhomogeneous form of such a model seem rare. This paper considers the inhomogeneous pantograph delay equation (IPDDE) with a kind of arbitrary inhomogeneous term. This arbitrary inhomogeneous term is used in different forms to generate various classes of IPDDEs. The solutions of the present classes are obtained in closed series forms which satisfy the criteria of convergence. Also, the exact solutions are determined for these classes under a certain relation between the given initial condition of the model and the initial value of the inhomogeneous term. Several classes are generated and solved when the inhomogeneous term takes the form of trigonometric, exponential, and hyperbolic functions. Some existing results in the literature are recovered as special cases of the present ones. Moreover, the behaviors of the obtained solutions are demonstrated through graphs for various kinds of IPDDEs. Full article

We use a combination of techniques, including cone expansion and compression of the functional type, and the Leggett–Williams fixed point theorem, to prove the existence of positive solutions.

Using variable-order fractional derivatives in differential equations is essential. It enables more precise modeling of complex phenomena with varying memory and long-range dependencies, improving our ability to describe real-world processes reliably. This study investigates the properties of solutions for a two-point boundary value problem associated with φ-Caputo fractional derivatives of variable order. The primary objectives are to establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions, as well as explore their stability through the Ulam-Hyers concept. To achieve these goals, Banach’s and Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorems are employed as powerful mathematical tools. Additionally, we provide numerical examples to illustrate results and enhance comprehension of theoretical findings. This comprehensive analysis significantly advances our understanding of variable-order fractional differential equations, providing a strong foundation for future research. Future directions include exploring more complex boundary value problems, studying the effects of varying fractional differentiation orders, extending the analysis to systems of equations, and applying these findings to real-world scenarios, all of which promise to deepen our understanding of Caputo fractional differential equations with variable order, driving progress in both theoretical and applied mathematics.

The authors of the present paper previously proved the Ulam stability for the n-th-order linear differential operator with constant coefficients. They obtained its best Ulam constant for the case of distinct roots of the characteristic equation. However, a complete answer to the problem of the best Ulam constant was later obtained only for the second-order linear differential operator. This paper deals with the Ulam stability of the third-order linear differential operator with constant coefficients acting in a Banach space. The paper’s main purpose is to obtain the best Ulam constant of this operator, thus completing the previous research in the field. Full article

A computational approach with the aid of the Linear Multistep Method (LMM) for the numerical solution of differential equations with initial value problems or boundary conditions has appeared several times in the literature due to its good accuracy and stability properties. The major objective of this article is to extend a multistep approach for the numerical solution of the Partial Differential Equation (PDE) originating from fluid mechanics in a two-dimensional space with initial and boundary conditions, as a result of the importance and utility of the models of partial differential equations in applications, particularly in physical phenomena, such as in convection-diffusion models, and fluid flow problems. Thus, a multistep collocation formula, which is based on orthogonal polynomials is proposed. Ninth-order Multistep Collocation Formulas (NMCFs) were formulated through the principle of interpolation and collocation processes. The theoretical analysis of the NMCFs reveals that they have algebraic order nine, are zero-stable, consistent, and, thus, convergent. The implementation strategies of the NMCFs are comprehensively discussed. Some numerical test problems were presented to evaluate the efficacy and applicability of the proposed formulas. Comparisons with other methods were also presented to demonstrate the new formulas’ productivity. Finally, figures were presented to illustrate the behavior of the numerical examples. Full article

This study focuses on investigating the oscillatory properties of a particular class of perturbed differential equations in the noncanonical case. Our research aims to establish more effective criteria for evaluating the absence of positive solutions to the equation under study and subsequently investigate its oscillatory behavior. We also perform a comparative analysis, contrasting the oscillation of the studied equation with another equation in the canonical case. To achieve this, we employ the Riccati technique along with other methods to obtain several sufficient criteria. Furthermore, we apply these new conditions to specific instances of the considered equation, assessing their performance. The significance of our work lies in its extension and broadening of the existing body of literature, contributing novel insights into this field of study. Full article

The triple Sumudu transform decomposition method (TSTDM) is a combination of the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the triple Sumudu transform. It is a computational method that can be appropriate for solving linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. The existence analysis of the method and partial derivatives theorems are proven. Finally, we solve the 1+1 and 2+1-dimensional Boussinesq equations by applying the (TSTDM)technique, which gives the approximate solution with quick convergence. It is more precise than using ADM alone. In addition, three examples are offered to examine the performance and precision of our method. Full article

The trade-off between numerical accuracy and computational cost is always an important factor to consider when pricing options numerically, due to the inherent irregularity and existence of non-linearity in many models. In this work, we first present fast and accurate (1,2) and (2,2) predictor–corrector methods with a fourth-order compact finite difference scheme for pricing coupled system of the non-linear free boundary option pricing problem consisting of the option value and delta sensitivity. To predict the optimal exercise boundary, we set up a high-order boundary scheme, which is strategically derived using a combination of the fourth-order Robin boundary scheme and the fourth-order compact finite difference scheme near boundary. Furthermore, we implement a three-step high-order correction scheme for computing interior values of the option value and delta sensitivity. The discrete matrix system of this correction scheme has a tri-diagonal structure and strictly diagonal dominance. This nice feature allows for the implementation of the Thomas algorithm, thereby enabling fast computation. The optimal exercise boundary value is also corrected in each of the three correction steps with the derived Robin boundary scheme. Our implementations are fast on both coarse and very refined grids and provide highly accurate numerical approximations. Moreover, we recover a reasonable convergence rate. Further extensions to high-order predictor two-step corrector schemes are elaborated. Full article

The Laplace residual power series method was introduced as an effective technique for finding exact and approximate series solutions to various kinds of differential equations. In this context, we utilize the Laplace residual power series method to generate analytic solutions to various kinds of partial differential equations. Then, by resorting to the above-mentioned technique, we derive certain solutions to different types of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations, including wave equations, nonhomogeneous space telegraph equations, water wave partial differential equations, Klein–Gordon partial differential equations, Fisher equations, and a few others. Moreover, we numerically examine several results by investing some graphs and tables and comparing our results with the exact solutions of some nominated differential equations to display the new approach’s reliability, capability, and efficiency.

In this paper, we introduce a special system of linear equations with a symmetric, tridiagonal matrix, whose solution vector contains the values of the analytical solution of the original ordinary differential equation (ODE) in grid points. Further, we present the derivation of an exact scheme for an arbitrary mesh grid and prove that its application can completely avoid other errors in discretization and numerical methods. The presented method is constructed on the basis of special local green functions, whose special properties provide the possibility to invert the differential operator of the ODE. Thus, the newly obtained results provide a general, exact solution method for the second-order ODE, which is also effective for obtaining the arbitrary grid, Dirichlet, and/or Neumann boundary conditions. Both the results obtained and the short case study confirm that the use of the exact scheme is efficient and straightforward even for ODEs with discontinuity functions. Full article

In this research, we propose fourth-order non-uniform Hermitian differencing with a fifth-order adaptive time integration method for pricing system of free boundary exotic power put options consisting of the option value, delta sensitivity, and gamma. The main objective for implementing the above scheme is to carefully account for the irregularity in the locality of the left corner point after fixing the free boundary. Specifically and mainly, we stretch the performance of our proposed method threefold. First, we exploit the non-uniform fourth-order Hermitian scheme to locally concentrate space grid points arbitrarily close to the left boundary. Secondly, we further leverage the adaptive nature of the embedded time integration method, which allows optimal selection of a time step based on the space grid point distribution and regional variation. Thirdly, we introduce a fourth-order combined Hermitian scheme, which requires fewer grid points for computing the near boundary point of the delta sensitivity and gamma. Another novelty is how we approximate the optimal exercise boundary and its derivative using a fifth-order Robin boundary scheme and fourth-order combined Hermitian scheme. Our proposed method consistently achieves reasonable accuracy with very coarse grids and little runtime across the numerical experiments. We further compare the results with existing methods and the ones we obtained from the uniform space grid. Full article

Second-order oscillatory problems have been found to be applicable in studying various phenomena in science and engineering; this is because these problems have the capabilities of replicating different aspects of the real world. In this research, a new hybrid method shall be formulated for the simulations of second-order oscillatory problems with applications to physical systems. The proposed method shall be formulated using the procedure of interpolation and collocation by adopting power series as basis function. In formulating the method, off-step points were introduced within the interval of integration in order to bypass the Dahlquist barrier, improve the accuracy of the method and also upgrade the order of consistence of the method. The paper further validated the some properties of the hybrid method derived and from the results obtained; the new method was found to be consistent, convergent and stable. The simulation results generated as a result of the application of the new method on some second-order oscillatory differential equations also showed that the new hybrid method is computationally reliable.

In this paper the semi-Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of some Volterra integro-differential equations is investigated, using the Laplace transform. This is a continuation of some previous work on this topic. The equation in the general form contains more terms, where the unknown function appears together with the derivative of order one and with two integral terms. The particular cases that are considered illustrate the main results for some polynomial and exponential functions. Full article

This paper is devoted to double phase anisotropic variational problems for the case of a combined effect of concave–convex nonlinearities when the convex term does not require the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. The aim of the present paper, on a class of superlinear term which is different from the previous related works, is to discuss the multiplicity result of non-trivial solutions by applying the dual fountain theorem as the main tool. In particular, our main result is obtained without assuming the conditions on the nonlinear term at infinity. Full article

This study aims to investigate the asymptotic behavior of a class of third-order delay differential equations. Here, we consider an equation with a middle term and several delays. We obtain an iterative relationship between the positive solution of the studied equation and the corresponding function. Using this new relationship, we derive new criteria that ensure that all non-oscillatory solutions converge to zero. The new findings are an extension and expansion of relevant findings in the literature. We apply our results to a special case of the equation under study to clarify the importance of the new criteria. Full article

Quaternion is a four-dimensional and an extension of the complex number system. It is often viewed from various fields, such as analysis, algebra, and geometry. Several applications of quaternions are related to an object’s rotation and motion in three-dimensional space in the form of a differential equation. In this paper, we do a systematic literature review on the development of quaternion differential equations. We utilize PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses) framework in the review process as well as content analysis. The expected result is a state-of-the-art and the gap of concepts or problems that still need to develop or answer. It was concluded that there are still some opportunities to develop a quaternion differential equation using a quaternion function domain. Full article
