Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The second volume of our publication continues to delve into the fascinating realm of oscillatory phenomena across the various dynamical systems encountered within the fields of natural sciences and technology. Similarly to the first volume, oscillations remain a ubiquitous feature across diverse disciplines, including physiology, ecosystem dynamics, biochemistry, mechanics, and population dynamics. The prevalence of oscillations underscores the need for a robust theoretical framework, which continues to evolve under the banner of oscillation theory.

This Special Issue is dedicated to the modeling and simulation of nonlinear dynamical systems, where oscillation serves as a fundamental behavior. We invite contributions from researchers who are engaged in oscillation theory or those applying existing tools and methods to investigating oscillatory phenomena within real-world dynamical systems. Of particular interest are studies addressing time-delay systems, where the delay is recognized as a significant contributor to the oscillations in dynamical systems.

We eagerly anticipate submissions furthering our understanding of oscillatory properties and their relationship with various physical processes. Join us in exploring the intricate dynamics of oscillatory systems and their applications across diverse scientific disciplines. We eagerly await your contributions.

Adiabaticity is a key concept in physics, but its applications in mechanical and control engineering remain underexplored. Adiabatic invariants ensure robust dynamics under slow changes, but they impose impractical time limitations. Shortcuts to Adiabaticity (STA) overcome these limitations by enabling fast operations with minimal final excitations. In this work, we set a STA strategy based on dynamical invariants and inverse engineering to design the trajectory of a cartpole, a system characterized by its instability and repulsive potential. The trajectories found guarantee a balanced transport of the cartpole within the small oscillations regime. The results are compared to numerical simulations with the exact non-linear model to set the working domain of the designed protocol. Full article

This work aims to develop new iterative Kneser-type criteria for determining the oscillatory behaviour of half-linear second-order advanced dynamic equations on arbitrary unbounded-above time scales T. The results extend and refine previously established criteria for these equations while also generalising classical criteria for corresponding ordinary dynamic equations. This study provides a broader and more flexible approach to analysing such systems by introducing iterative methods. Several examples are included to demonstrate the accuracy, usefulness, and adaptability. Full article

In this paper, we examine the oscillatory behavior of solutions to a class of half-linear third-order dynamic equations with deviating arguments α2(η)ϕδ2α1ηϕδ1uΔ(η)ΔΔ+p(η)ϕδu(g(η))=0, on an arbitrary unbounded-above time scale T, where η[η0,)T:=[η0,)T, η00, η0T and ϕζ(w):=wζsgnw, ζ>0. Using the integral mean approach and the known Riccati transform methodology, several improved Hille-type and Ohriska-type oscillation criteria have been derived that do not require some restrictive assumptions in the relevant results. Illustrative examples and conclusions show that these criteria are sharp for all third-order dynamic equations compared to the previous results in the literature. Full article

In this paper, by using the Riccati transformation and integral inequality technique, we establish several oscillation criteria for second-order Emden–Fowler neutral delay differential equations under the canonical case and non-canonical case, respectively. Compared with some recent results reported in the literature, we extend the range of the neutral coefficient. Therefore, our results generalize to some of the results presented in the literature. Furthermore, several examples are provided to illustrate our conclusions. Full article

The aim of this study is to refine the known Riccati transformation technique to provide new oscillation criteria for solutions to second-order dynamic equations over time. It is important to note that the convergence or divergence of some improper integrals on time scales depends not only on the integration function but also on the integration time scale. Therefore, there has been a motivation to find new oscillation criteria that can be applicable regardless of whether ζ0Δξa(ξ) is convergent or divergent, in contrast to what has been followed in most previous works in the literature. We have provided an example to illustrate the significance of the obtained results. Full article
