Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Differential equations, in general, have attracted more and more attention in mathematical, scientific, and engineering communities due to their wide real-life applications in mathematical modeling physical/engineering/biological systems, and many other areas.

In general, it is difficult to solve some kind of mathematical model due to the complexity. These models are governed by differential equations whose solutions make it easy to understand real-life problems and can be applied to engineering and science disciplines. This Special Issue is mainly focused to address a wide range of computational methods ranging from efficient finite element and finite difference methods, adaptive methods, multi-scale methods, to spectral methods and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Computational challenges will be discussed, and new computational techniques will be introduced for various applications. Engineers, mathematicians, scientists, and researchers working on real-life mathematical problems will find this special issue useful.

Numerical Solutions of Variable Coefficient Higher-Order Partial Differential Equations Arising in Beam Models

by Abdul Ghafoor, Sirajul Haq, Manzoor Hussain, Thabet Abdeljawad and Manar A. Alqudah

Abstract

In this work, an efficient and robust numerical scheme is proposed to solve the variable coefficients’ fourth-order partial differential equations (FOPDEs) that arise in Euler–Bernoulli beam models. When partial differential equations (PDEs) are of higher order and invoke variable coefficients, then the numerical solution is quite a tedious and challenging problem, which is our main concern in this paper. The current scheme is hybrid in nature in which the second-order finite difference is used for temporal discretization, while spatial derivatives and solutions are approximated via the Haar wavelet. Next, the integration and Haar matrices are used to convert partial differential equations (PDEs) to the system of linear equations, which can be handled easily. Besides this, we derive the theoretical result for stability via the Lax–Richtmyer criterion and verify it computationally. Moreover, we address the computational convergence rate, which is near order two. Several test problems are given to measure the accuracy of the suggested scheme. Computations validate that the present scheme works well for such problems. The calculated results are also compared with the earlier work and the exact solutions. The comparison shows that the outcomes are in good agreement with both the exact solutions and the available results in the literature. Full article

Abstract

Fuzzy differential equations provide a crucial tool for modeling numerous phenomena and uncertainties that potentially arise in various applications across physics, applied sciences and engineering. Reliable and effective analytical methods are necessary to obtain the required solutions, as it is very difficult to obtain accurate solutions for certain fuzzy differential equations. In this paper, certain fuzzy approximate solutions are constructed and analyzed by means of a residual power series (RPS) technique involving some class of fuzzy fractional differential equations. The considered methodology for finding the fuzzy solutions relies on converting the target equations into two fractional crisp systems in terms of ρ-cut representations. The residual power series therefore gives solutions for the converted systems by combining fractional residual functions and fractional Taylor expansions to obtain values of the coefficients of the fractional power series. To validate the efficiency and the applicability of our proposed approach we derive solutions of the fuzzy fractional initial value problem by testing two attractive applications. The compatibility of the behavior of the solutions is determined via some graphical and numerical analysis of the proposed results. Moreover, the comparative results point out that the proposed method is more accurate compared to the other existing methods. Finally, the results attained in this article emphasize that the residual power series technique is easy, efficient, and fast for predicting solutions of the uncertain models arising in real physical phenomena.

Simple Equations Method and Non-Linear Differential Equations with Non-Polynomial Non-Linearity

by Nikolay K. Vitanov and Zlatinka I. Dimitrova

Entropy 2021, 23(12), 1624; https://doi.org/10.3390/e23121624 - 2 Dec 2021

Abstract

We discuss the application of the Simple Equations Method (SEsM) for obtaining exact solutions of non-linear differential equations to several cases of equations containing non-polynomial non-linearity. The main idea of the study is to use an appropriate transformation at Step (1.) of SEsM. This transformation has to convert the non-polynomial non- linearity to polynomial non-linearity. Then, an appropriate solution is constructed. This solution is a composite function of solutions of more simple equations. The application of the solution reduces the differential equation to a system of non-linear algebraic equations. We list 10 possible appropriate transformations. Two examples for the application of the methodology are presented. In the first example, we obtain kink and anti- kink solutions of the solved equation. The second example illustrates another point of the study. The point is as follows. In some cases, the simple equations used in SEsM do not have solutions expressed by elementary functions or by the frequently used special functions. In such cases, we can use a special function, which is the solution of an appropriate ordinary differential equation, containing polynomial non-linearity. Specific cases of the use of this function are presented in the second example. Full article

Abstract

The Selkov system, which is typically employed to model glycolysis phenomena, unveils some rich dynamics and some other complex formations in biochemical reactions. In the present work, the synchronization problem of the glycolysis reaction-diffusion model is handled and examined. In addition, a novel convenient control law is designed in a linear form and, on the other hand, the stability of the associated error system is demonstrated through utilizing a suitable Lyapunov function. To illustrate the applicability of the proposed schemes, several numerical simulations are performed in one- and two-spatial dimensions. Full article

by Ravi P. Agarwal, Fatemah Mofarreh, Rasool Shah, Waewta Luangboon and Kamsing Nonlaopon

Entropy 2021, 23(8), 1086; https://doi.org/10.3390/e23081086 - 21 Aug 2021

Abstract

This research article is dedicated to solving fractional-order parabolic equations using an innovative analytical technique. The Adomian decomposition method is well supported by natural transform to establish closed form solutions for targeted problems. The procedure is simple, attractive and is preferred over other methods because it provides a closed form solution for the given problems. The solution graphs are plotted for both integer and fractional-order, which shows that the obtained results are in good contact with the exact solution of the problems. It is also observed that the solution of fractional-order problems are convergent to the solution of integer-order problem. In conclusion, the current technique is an accurate and straightforward approximate method that can be applied to solve other fractional-order partial differential equations. Full article

Abstract

Quantum information theory, an interdisciplinary field that includes computer science, information theory, philosophy, cryptography, and entropy, has various applications for quantum calculus. Inequalities and entropy functions have a strong association with convex functions. In this study, we prove quantum midpoint type inequalities, quantum trapezoidal type inequalities, and the quantum Simpson’s type inequality for differentiable convex functions using a new parameterized q-integral equality. The newly formed inequalities are also proven to be generalizations of previously existing inequities. Finally, using the newly established inequalities, we present some applications for quadrature formulas. Full article
