Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Current widespread interest in various families of fractional-order integral and derivative operators, such as those named after Riemann–Liouville, Weyl, Hadamard, Grunwald–Letnikov, Riesz, Erdélyi–Kober, Liouville–Caputo, and so on, have stemmed essentially from their demonstrated applications in numerous diverse areas of the mathematical, physical, chemical, engineering, and statistical sciences. These fractional-order operators provide interesting and potentially useful tools for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as integral, differintegral, and integro-differential equations, the fractional-calculus analogues and extensions of each of these equations, and various other problems involving special functions of mathematical physics, applicable analysis and applied mathematics, as well as their extensions and generalizations in one, two and more variables.

In this Special Issue, we invite and welcome review, expository, and original research articles dealing with recent advances in the theory of integrals and derivatives of fractional order and their multidisciplinary applications.

Abstract
This paper studies the uniqueness of solutions for several generalized Abel’s integral equations and a related coupled system in Banach spaces. The results derived are new and based on Babenko’s approach, Banach’s contraction principle and the multivariate Mittag–Leffler function. We also present some [...] Read more.

The goal of this paper is to study the uniqueness of solutions of several nonlinear Liouville–Caputo integro-differential equations with variable coefficients and initial conditions, as well as an associated coupled system in Banach spaces. The results derived are new and based on Banach’s contractive principle, the multivariate Mittag–Leffler function and Babenko’s approach. We also provide a few examples to demonstrate the use of our main theorems by convolutions and the gamma function. Full article

Quantum calculus (also known as the q-calculus) is a technique that is similar to traditional calculus, but focuses on the concept of deriving q-analogous results without the use of the limits. In this paper, we suggest and analyze some new q-iterative methods by using the q-analogue of the Taylor’s series and the coupled system technique. In the domain of q-calculus, we determine the convergence of our proposed q-algorithms. Numerical examples demonstrate that the new q-iterative methods can generate solutions to the nonlinear equations with acceptable accuracy. These newly established methods also exhibit predictability. Furthermore, an analogy is settled between the well known classical methods and our proposed q-Iterative methods. Full article
