Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the second volume of our Special Issue on "Fractional Calculus and Mathematical Applications". Building upon the success of the first volume, we aim to continue exploring the fascinating realm of fractional calculus and its diverse applications.

Fractional calculus possesses a unique dual nature. On the one hand, it shares a long history with ordinary (integer) calculus. On the other hand, over the past four decades, it has witnessed exponential growth in its applications across various fields and diverse topics. This interdisciplinary collaboration has resulted in an ever-increasing number of researchers and publications. From biological models to integral inequalities, from systems with delay to neutrals and hybrids, fractional calculus has found its utility and effectiveness in addressing a wide range of theoretical investigations and practical problems.

Our focus extends beyond traditional integral operators of the Riemann–Liouville type. We embrace the use of differential operators such as Caputo or Riemann–Liouville and their generalizations, allowing for the incorporation of a rich variety of mathematical tools. These tools have been extensively tested and have proven effective in tackling an array of challenging problems.

As a consequence, this vibrant field continues to produce new and exciting results. These advancements involve increasingly generalized integral operators and novel types of fractional differentials, expanding the horizons of fractional calculus to unprecedented boundaries.

We cordially invite researchers from all mathematical disciplines to contribute their latest findings and insights to this Special Issue. We aim to push the boundaries of knowledge and explore the uncharted territories of fractional calculus.

In this work, we develop and analyze a novel fractional-order framework to investigate the interactions among oxygen, phytoplankton, and zooplankton under changing climatic conditions. Unlike standard integer-order formulations, our model incorporates a Proportional–Caputo (PC) fractional derivative, allowing the system dynamics to capture non-local influences and memory effects over time. Initially, we rigorously verify that a unique solution exists by suitable fixed-point theorems, demonstrating that the proposed fractional system is both well-defined and robust. We then derive stability criteria to ensure Ulam–Hyers stability (UHS), confirming that small perturbations in initial states lead to bounded variations in long-term behavior. Additionally, we explore extended UHS to assess sensitivity against time-varying parameters. Numerical simulations illustrate the role of fractional-order parameters in shaping oxygen availability and plankton populations, highlighting critical shifts in system trajectories as the order of differentiation approaches unity.

In this paper, we study nonlinear systems of fractional differential equations with a Caputo fractional derivative with respect to another function (CFDF) and we define the strict stability of the zero solution of the considered nonlinear system. As an auxiliary system, we consider a system of two scalar fractional equations with CFDF and define a strict stability in the couple. We illustrate both definitions with several examples and, in these examples, we show that the applied function in the fractional derivative has a huge influence on the stability properties of the solutions. In addition, we use Lyapunov functions and their CFDF to obtain several sufficient conditions for strict stability. Full article

Spherical tanks are widely utilized in process industries due to their substantial storage capacity. These industries’ inherent challenges necessitate using highly efficient controllers to manage various process parameters, especially given their nonlinear behavior. This paper proposes the Approximate Generalized Time Moments (AGTM) optimization technique for designing the parameters of multi-model fractional-order controllers for regulating the output (liquid level) of a real-time nonlinear spherical tank. System identification for different regions of the nonlinear process is here innovatively conducted using a black-box model, which is determined to be nonlinear and approximated as a First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) system over each region. Both model identification and controller design are performed in simulation and real-time using a National Instruments NI DAQmx 6211 Data Acquisition (DAQ) card (NI SYSTEMS INDIA PVT. LTD., Bangalore Karnataka, India) and MATLAB/SIMULINK software (MATLAB R2021a). The performance of the overall algorithm is evaluated through simulation and experimental testing, with several setpoints and load changes, and is compared to the performance of other algorithms tuned within the same framework. While traditional approaches, such as integer-order controllers or linear approximations, often struggle to provide consistent performance across the operating range of spherical tanks, it is originally shown how the combination of multi-model fractional-order controller design—AGTM optimization method—GA for expansion point selection and index minimization has benefits in specifically controlling a (difficult to be controlled) nonlinear process.

Fractional calculus provides tools to model systems with memory effects; when coupled with delays, they model process histories inspired by two independent sources—the memory of the fractional derivative and the impact conditioned by the delays. This work considers a Cauchy (initial) problem for a linear delayed system with derivatives in Caputo’s sense of incommensurate order, distributed delays, and piecewise initial functions. For this initial problem, we study the important problem of the backward continuation of its solutions. We consider the backward continuation of the solutions as a problem of the renewal of a process with aftereffect under given final observation. Sufficient conditions for backward continuation of the solutions of these systems have been obtained. As application, a formal (Lagrange) adjoint system for the studied homogeneous system is introduced, and using the backward continuation, it is proved that for this system there exists a unique matrix solution called by us as the formal adjoint fundamental matrix, which can play the same role as the fundamental matrix in the forward case.

In this paper, we introduce a novel fractal–fractional identity, from which we derive new Simpson-type inequalities for functions whose first-order local fractional derivative exhibits generalized s-convexity in the second sense. This work introduces an approach that uses the first-order local fractional derivative, enabling the treatment of functions with lower regularity requirements compared to earlier studies. Additionally, we present two distinct methodological frameworks, one of which achieves greater precision by refining classical outcomes in the existing literature. The paper concludes with several practical applications that demonstrate the utility of our results. Full article

For these results, further remarks and observations are provided. Following that, a couple of graphical representations are shown to highlight the key findings of our study.

The problem of equivalence between differential and integral problems is absolutely crucial when applying solution methods based on operators and their properties in function spaces. In this paper, we complement the solution of this important problem by considering the case of general derivatives and integrals of fractional order for vector functions for weak topology. Even if a Caputo differential fractional order problem has a right-hand side that is weakly continuous, the equivalence between the differential and integral forms may be affected. In this paper, we present a complete solution to this problem using fractional order Pettis integrals and suitably defined pseudo-derivatives, taking care to construct appropriate Hölder-type spaces on which the operators under study are mutually inverse. In this paper, we prove, in a number of cases, the equivalence of differential and integral problems in Hölder spaces and, by means of appropriate counter-examples, investigate cases where this property of the problems is absent.

The paper studies a nonlinear equation including both fractional and ordinary derivatives. The singular Cauchy problem is considered. The theorem of the existence of uniqueness of a solution in the neighborhood of a fixed singular point of algebraic type is proved. An analytical approximate solution is built, an a priori estimate is obtained. A formula for calculating the area where the proven theorem works is obtained. The theoretical results are confirmed by a numerical experiment in both digital and graphical versions. The technology of optimizing an a priori error using an a posteriori error is demonstrated.

In this paper, we suggest a first-ever construction of fractional integral and differential operators based on signed measures including a vector-valued case. The study focuses on constructing the fractional power of the Riemann–Stieltjes integral with a signed measure, using semigroup theory. The main result is a theorem that provides the exact form of a semigroup for the Riemann–Stieltjes integral with a measure having a countable number of extrema. This article provides examples of semigroups based on integral operators with signed measures and discusses the fractional powers of differential operators with partial derivatives. Full article

In this study, we present results on the existence, uniqueness, and averaging principle for fractional neutral stochastic differential equations. We utilize Jensen, Burkholder–Davis–Gundy, Grönwall–Bellman, Hölder, and Chebyshev–Markov inequalities. We generalize results in two ways: first, by extending the existing result for p=2 to results in the Lp space; second, by incorporating the Caputo–Katugampola fractional derivatives, we extend the results established with Caputo fractional derivatives. Additionally, we provide examples to enhance the understanding of the theoretical results we establish. Full article

This paper explores the properties of multipliers associated with discrete analogues of fractional integrals, revealing intriguing connections with Dirichlet characters, Euler’s identity, and Dedekind zeta functions of quadratic imaginary fields. Employing Fourier transform techniques, the Hardy–Littlewood circle method, and a discrete analogue of the Stein–Weiss inequality on product space through implication methods, we establish ℓp→ℓq bounds for these operators. Our results contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between number theory and harmonic analysis in discrete domains, offering insights into the convergence behavior of these operators.

In this paper, we extend the scope of the Tate and Ormerod Lemmas to the Dunkl setting, revealing a profound interconnection that intricately links the Dunkl transform and the Mellin transform. This illumination underscores the pivotal significance of the Mellin integral transform in the realm of fractional calculus associated with differential-difference operators. Our primary focus centers on the Dunkl–Laplace operator, which serves as a prototype of a differential-difference second-order operator within an unbounded domain. Following influential research by Pagnini and Runfola, we embark on an innovative exploration employing Bochner subordination approaches tailored for the fractional Dunkl Laplacian (FDL). Notably, the Mellin transform emerges as a robust and enlightening tool, particularly in its application to the FDL. Full article
