Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to contribute a manuscript to this Special Issue on “Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equation and Fixed-Point Theory”.

Nonlinear fractional differential equations have been of great interest for the past three decades. This is due to the intensive development of the theory of fractional calculus and its applications. Apart from diverse areas of pure mathematics, fractional differential equations can be used in the modeling of various fields of science and engineering, such as rheology, self-similar dynamical processes, porous media, fluid flows, viscoelasticity, electrochemistry, control, electromagnetic, and many other branches of science. A significant characteristic of a fractional order differential operator which distinguishes it from the integer-order differential operator is that it is nonlocal in nature, that is, the future state of a dynamical system or process involving fractional derivative depends on its current state as well as its past states. In fact, this feature of fractional-order operators has contributed toward the popularity of fractional-order models, which are recognized as more realistic and practical than classical integer-order models.

Fixed-point theory provides essential tools for solving problems arising in various branches of mathematical analysis, such as split feasibility problems, variational inequality problems, nonlinear optimization problems, equilibrium problems, complementarity problems, selection and matching problems, and problems of proving the existence of solution of integral and differential equations.

The aim of this Special Issue is to gather and publish new results on fractional differential equation and fixed-point theory and their applications. We welcome papers on topics including, but not limited to the following:

  • Fixed-point theory and its application;
  • Approximation theory and its application;
  • Variational inequality and its applications;
  • Fractional differential equation;
  • Iterated function system;
  • Fractal theory;
  • Differential equations;
  • Finite difference equations;
  • Nonlinear analysis;
  • Dynamical system;
  • Nonlinear convex analysis.

In this paper, we study a system of nonlinear tempered fractional differential equations with multi-point coupled boundary conditions. By applying the properties of Green’s function and the operator and combining the method of matrix analysis, we obtain the corresponding Lyapunov inequalities under two Banach spaces. And, we have compared two Lyapunov inequalities under certain conditions. An example is given to verify our results. Full article

This study explores innovative insights into the realms of dynamic programming and fractional differential equations, situated explicitly within the framework of partial modular b-metric spaces enriched with a binary relation R, proposing a novel definition for a generalized ℷC-type Suzuki R-contraction specific to these spaces. By doing so, we pave the way for a range of relation-theoretical common fixed-point theorems, highlighting the versatility of our approach. To illustrate the practical relevance of our findings, we present a compelling example. Ultimately, this work aims to enrich the existing academic discourse and stimulate further research and practical applications within the field. Full article

We introduce fuzzy enriched contraction, which extends the classical notion of fuzzy Banach contraction and encompasses specific fuzzy non-expansive mappings. Our investigation establishes both the presence and uniqueness of fixed points considering this broad category of operators using a Krasnoselskij iterative scheme for their approximation. We also show the graphical representation of fuzzy enriched contraction and analyze its graph for different values of beta. The implications of these findings extend to significant results within fuzzy fixed-point theory, enriching the understanding of iterative processes in fuzzy metric spaces. To demonstrate the versatility of our innovative concepts and the associated fixed-point theorems, we provide illustrative examples that showcase their applicability across diverse domains, including the generation of fractals. This demonstrates the relevance of fuzzy enriched contraction to iterated function systems, enabling the study of fractal structures under various contractive conditions. Additionally, we explore practical applications of fuzzy enriched contraction in dynamic market equilibrium, offering new insights into stability and convergence in economic models. Through this unified framework, we open new avenues for both theoretical advancements and real world applications in fuzzy systems. Full article

The purpose of this study is to explore the existence and uniqueness of the best proximity points for α,Θ-proximal contractions, a novel concept introduced in the context of F-metric spaces. Moreover, we provide an example to show the usability of the obtained results. To broaden the scope of this research area, we leverage our best proximity point results to demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for differential equations (equation of motion) and also for fractional differential equations.

This note generalizes several existing results related to Hermite–Hadamard inequality using h-Godunova–Levin and (h1,h2)-convex functions using a fractional integral operator associated with the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative. This study uses a non-singular kernel and constructs some new theorems associated with fractional order integrals. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the obtained results are a generalization of the existing ones. To demonstrate the correctness of these results, we developed a few interesting non-trivial examples. Finally, we discuss some applications of our findings associated with special means. Full article

The main idea in this research is introducing another approximate method to calculate solutions of the fractional Torsion equation, which is one of the applied equations in civil engineering. Since the fractional order is closed to an integer, we convert the fractional Torsion equation to a perturbed ordinary differential equation involving a small parameter epsilon. Then we can find the exact solutions and approximate symmetries for the alternative approximation equation. Also, with help of the definition of conserved vector and the concept of nonlinear self-adjointness, approximate conservation laws(ACL) are obtained without approximate Lagrangians by using their approximate symmetries. In order to apply the presented theory, we apply the Lie symmetry analysis (LSA) and concept of nonlinear self-adjoint Torsion equation, which are very important in mathematics and engineering sciences, especially civil engineering.

The aim of this work is to analyze the relative controllability and Ulamn–Hyers stability of the ψ-Caputo fractional neutral delay differential system. We use neutral ψ-delayed perturbation of the Mitttag–Leffler matrix function and Banach contraction principle to examine the Ulam–Hyers stability of our considered system. We formulate the Grammian matrix to establish the controllability results of the linear fractonal differential system. Further, we employ the fixed-point technique of Krasnoselskii’s type to establish the sufficient conditions for the relative controllability of a semilinear ψ-Caputo neutral fractional system. Finally, the theoretical study is validated by providing an application. Full article
