Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The theoretical foundations of fractional calculus were established centuries ago; in fact, this research area has existed alongside traditional calculus since Leibniz and Newton first defined derivative and integral operators.

However, the last several decades have seen a surge in the development and investigation of fractional-order systems, as it was discovered that fractional-order differential equations or their systems can be used to describe a variety of real-world phenomena. In terms of practical applications, a growing number of studies highlight the advantages of fractional-order differential or difference equations over integer-order modeling, particularly in fields such as engineering systems, heat transfer, gas exchange, and water transfer via porous materials. The main argument is that fractional-order derivatives reflect both the memory and heredity properties of real-world systems.

Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on the latest developments in the field of fractional differential equations and their systems. Investigators in the field are invited to present their original, unpublished papers on both theoretical and applied areas.

Topics of interest should include (but are not limited to):

  • Analysis of solutions of fractional differential equations and fractional-order systems.
  • Stability analysis of fractional differential equations and systems.
  • Numerical methods for fractional differential equations.
  • Applications of fractional differential equations in diverse scientific areas.

Through literature retrieval and classification, it can be found that for the fractional delay impulse differential system, the existence and uniqueness of the solution and UHR stability of the fractional delay impulse differential system are rarely studied by using the polynomial function of the fractional delay impulse matrix. In this paper, we firstly introduce a new concept of impulsive delayed Mittag–Leffler type solution vector function, which helps us to construct a representation of an exact solution for the linear impulsive fractional differential delay equations (IFDDEs). Secondly, by using Banach’s and Schauder’s fixed point theorems, we derive some sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of solutions of nonlinear IFDDEs. Finally, we obtain the Ulam–Hyers stability (UHs) and Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability (UHRs) for a class of nonlinear IFDDEs. Full article

The Langevin system is an important mathematical model to describe Brownian motion. The research shows that fractional differential equations have more advantages in viscoelasticity. The exploration of fractional Langevin system dynamics is novel and valuable. Compared with the fractional system of Caputo or Riemann–Liouville (RL) derivatives, the system with Mittag–Leffler (ML)-type fractional derivatives can eliminate singularity such that the solution of the system has better analytical properties. Therefore, we concentrate on a nonlinear Langevin system of ML-type fractional derivatives affected by time-varying delays and differential feedback control in the manuscript. We first utilize two fixed-point theorems proposed by Krasnoselskii and Schauder to investigate the existence of a solution. Next, we employ the contraction mapping principle and nonlinear analysis to establish the stability of types such as Ulam–Hyers (UH) and Ulam–Hyers–Rassias (UHR) as well as generalized UH and UHR. Lastly, the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of some interesting examples are carried out by using our main results and the DDESD toolbox of MATLAB. Full article

This study deals with the analysis of the heat and velocity profile of the fractional-order Oldroyd-B bio-nanofluid within a bounded channel. The study has a wide range of scope in modern fields of basic science such as medicine, the food industry, electrical appliances, nuclear as well as industrial cooling systems, reducing pollutants, fluids used in the brake systems of vehicles, etc. Oldroyd-B fluid is taken as a bio-nanofluid composed of base fluid (blood) and copper as nanoparticles. Using the fractional-order Oldroyd-B parameter, the governing equation is generalized from an integer to a non-integer form. A strong approach, i.e., a finite difference scheme, is applied to discretize the model, because the fractional approach can well address the physical phenomena and memory effect of the flow regime. Therefore, a Caputo fractional differentiation operator is used for the purpose. The transformations for the channel flow are utilized to transfigure the fractional-order partial differential equations (PDEs) into non-dimension PDEs. The graphical outcomes for non-integer ordered Oldroyd-B bio-nanofluid dynamics and temperature profiles are navigated using the numerical technique. These results are obtained under some very important physical conditions applied as a magnetic field effect, variable thermal conductivity, permeable medium, and heat source/sink. The results show that the addition of (copper) nanoparticles to (blood) base fluids enhances the thermal conductivity. For a comparative study, the obtained results are compared with the built-in results using the mathematical software MAPLE 2016. Full article

In this paper, a rigorous Lyapunov direct method (LDM) is proposed to analyze the stability of fractional non-linear systems involving Hadamard or Caputo–Hadamard derivatives. Based on the characteristics of Hadamard-type calculus, several new inequalities are derived for different definitions. By means of the developed inequalities and modified Laplace transform, the sufficient conditions can be derived to guarantee the Hadamard–Mittag–Leffler (HML) stability of the systems. Lastly, two illustrative examples are given to show the effectiveness of our proposed results. Full article

This study investigates the problem of finite-time boundedness of a class of neural networks of Caputo fractional order with time delay and uncertain terms. New sufficient conditions are established by constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals to ensure that the addressed fractional-order uncertain neural networks are finite-time stable. Criteria for finite-time boundedness of the considered fractional-order uncertain models are also achieved. The obtained results are based on a newly developed property of Caputo fractional derivatives, properties of Mittag–Leffler functions and Laplace transforms. In addition, examples are developed to manifest the usefulness of our theoretical results. Full article

The functional implications of substances, such as retardation and relaxation, can be studied for magnetized diffusion coefficient based on the relative increase throughout magnetization is a well-known realization. In this context, we have explored the Oldroyd-B hybrid nanofluid flowing through a pored oscillating plate along with an inclined applied magnetics effect. The slipping effect and sinusoidal heating conditions are also supposed to be under consideration. An innovative and current classification of fractional derivatives, i.e., Prabhakar fractional derivative and Laplace transform, are implemented for the result of transformed leading equations. The graphical representation is also described to understand the physical implementation of all effecting parameters. In order to justify and physically examine the considered problem, some limiting cases, the rate of heat and mass transfer, and friction factors are also analyzed. As a result, we have concluded that the thermal enhancement can be improved more progressively with the interaction of silver-water-based nanofluid suspension compared to copper-nanoparticles mixed nanofluid. Furthermore, It has examined the impact of both parameters, i.e., time relaxation Ω1 and retardation Ω2 is opposite of the momentum field. Full article
