Chemical graph theory (CGT) is a field of mathematical science that applies classical graph theory to chemical structures and processes. Chemical graphs are the principal data format used in cheminformatics to illustrate chemical interactions. Several researchers have addressed boundary-value problems using star graphs. Star graphs were used since their method requires a central point linked to other vertices but not to itself. Our objective is to expand the mechanism by introducing the idea of an isobutane graph that has the chemical formula

C_{4} H_{10}

and CAS number 75-28-5. By using the appropriate fixed point theory findings, this paper investigates the existence of solutions to fractional boundary value problems of Caputo type on such graphs. Additionally, two examples are provided to strengthen our important conclusions. Full article

We present a significant example to show that the class of v-generalized b-metric spaces properly contains the class of v-generalized metric spaces as well as b-metric spaces. This is accomplished because the example provided by Došenović et al. (2020) is insufficient to expose the generality of v-generalized b-metric spaces over the existing related spaces. Therefore, we establish fixed point theorems by defining generalized almost contractions of rational type and Reich type in v-generalized b-metric spaces. Moreover, we compare the proven results with the already existing fixed point theorems in this space by presenting suitable examples. As a consequence of these fixed point theorems, we further develop some common fixed-point results that ensure the existence and uniqueness of coincidence points and common fixed points for a pair of self maps. Finally, we use the outcome to check that the given Fredholm integral equation has a solution and that it is also unique. Full article

κ, ϕ

C ([1, T])

arising in biological population dynamics. The key findings of the article are based on theoretical concepts pertaining to the fractional calculus and the Hausdorff measure of non-compactness (MNC). To obtain this goal, we employ Darbo’s fixed-point theorem (DFPT) in the Banach space. In addition, we provide two numerical examples to demonstrate the applicability of our findings to the theory of fractional integral equations. Full article

In mathematical analysis, the Hausdorff derivatives or the fractal derivatives play an important role. Fixed-point theorems and metric fixed-point theory have varied applications in establishing a unique common solution to differential equations and integral equations. In the present work, some fixed-point theorems using the extension of Meir–Keeler contraction in the setting of bipolar metric spaces have been proved. The derived results have been supplemented with non-trivial examples. Our results extend and generalise the results established in the past. We have provided an application to find an analytical solution to an Integral Equation to supplement the derived result. Full article

-Caputo fractional derivatives with generalized slit-strips-type integral boundary conditions. We also study the Ulam–Hyers stability for the considered system. For the existence and uniqueness of the solution, we use the Banach contraction principle. With the help of Schaefer’s fixed-point theorem and some assumptions, we also obtain at least one solution of the mentioned system. Finally, the main results are verified with an appropriate example.

In this article, we consider a class of quasilinear elliptic equations involving the fractional p-Laplacian, in which the nonlinear term satisfies subcritical or critical growth. Based on a fixed point result due to Carl and Heikkilä, we can well overcome the lack of compactness which has been a key difficulty for elliptic equations with critical growth. Moreover, we establish the existence and boundedness of the weak solutions for the above equations. Full article

The idea of best proximity points of the fuzzy mappings in fuzzy metric space was intorduced by Vetro and Salimi. We introduce a new type of proximal contractive condition that ensures the existence of best proximity points of fuzzy mappings in the fuzzy complete metric spaces. We establish certain best proximity point theorems for such proximal contractions. We improve and generalize the fuzzy proximal contractions by introducing

(Ψ, Φ)

-fuzzy proximal contractions and

-fuzzy proximal interpolative contractions. The obtained results improve and generalize many best proximity point theorems published earlier. Moreover, we provide many nontrivial examples to validate our best proximity point theorem. Full article

In this study we will check the stability of the semi analytical technique, the Laplace variational iteration (LVI) scheme, which is the combination of a variational iteration technique and the Laplace transform method. Then, we will apply it to solve some non-linear fractional order partial differential equations. Since the Laplace transform cannot be applied to non-linear problems, the combination of the variational iteration technique with it will give a better and rapidly convergent sequence. Exact solutions may also exist, but we will show that the coupled technique is much better to approximate the exact solutions. The Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative will be used throughout the study. In addition, some possible implications of the results given here are connected with fixed point theory. Full article
