Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Anomalous and non-ergodicity are important properties of some dynamical systems. These dynamical systems play important roles in many problems of physics, fluid dynamics, chemistry, biology, finance, hydrology and control theory. Recently, various kinds of efficient ways have been developed to describe these dynamical systems. Furthermore, many new mathematical models, includes fractional differential equations, nonlocal diffusion models, stochastic differential equation with non-Gaussian noises, are derived in the related research areas. Comparing with the classical mathematical physical models, the new models give rise to multiple dynamic behaviors. Many scholars have made great contributions in developing efficient numerical methods to solve the new mathematical models. But the research results in the above-mentioned areas are far from being mature. New mathematical-physical models and numerical methods are needed for simulating more potential complex dynamical systems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect original and high-quality contributions related to the recent advances in anomalous and non-ergodic dynamics as well as efficient numerical methods to simulate the related mathematical models. Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to):

Anomalous diffusion process;
Non-ergodic fractional dynamical systems;
Nonlocal and Fractional mathematical models;
Applications of fractional differential models for biology;
Stochastic differential equations with non-Gaussian noises;
Fractional stochastic differential equations;
Integral equations with fractional calculus;
Numerical methods for fractional differential equations;
Numerical methods for nonlocal differential equations;
Nonlocal and fractional order mathematical models for COVID-19;
Analytical methods for fractional differential equations.

Abstract

We present an analytic solvability of a class of Langevin differential equations (LDEs) in the asset of geometric function theory. The analytic solutions of the LDEs are presented by utilizing a special kind of fractal function in a complex domain, linked with the subordination theory. The fractal functions are suggested for the multi-parametric coefficients type motorboat fractal set. We obtain different formulas of fractal analytic solutions of LDEs. Moreover, we determine the maximum value of the fractal coefficients to obtain the optimal solution. Through the subordination inequality, we determined the upper boundary determination of a class of fractal functions holding multibrot function
