Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the past decades, the subject of the calculus of integrals and derivatives of any arbitrary real or complex order has gained considerable popularity and importance. This is mainly due to its demonstrated applications in numerous, seemingly diverse and widespread fields of science and engineering.

This Special Issue invites papers that focus on recent and novel developments in the theory of any types of differential and fractional differential equations and inclusions, especially on analytical and numerical results for fractional ordinary and partial differential equations.

This Special Issue will accept high-quality papers containing original research results and survey articles of exceptional merit in the following fields:

  • Differential equations and inclusions;
  • Differential equations and inclusions with impulses;
  • Delay differential equations;
  • Fuzzy differential and integral equations;
  • Fractional differential equations and inclusions;
  • Difference equations;
  • Discrete fractional equations;
  • Dynamical models with differential, fractional, difference, or fuzzy equations.

In this paper, the Fibonacci sequence, renowned for its significance across various fields, its ability to illuminate numerical concepts, and its role in uncovering patterns in mathematics and nature, forms the foundation of this research. This study introduces innovative concepts of weighted density, weighted statistical summability, weighted statistical convergence, and weighted statistical Cauchy, uniquely defined via the Fibonacci sequence and modulus functions. Key theorems, relationships, examples, and properties substantiate these novel principles, advancing our comprehension of sequence behavior. Additionally, we extend the notion of statistical cluster points within a broader framework, surpassing traditional definitions and offering deeper insights into convergence in a statistical context. Our findings in this paper open avenues for new applications and further exploration in various mathematical fields. Full article

In this article, we mainly generalize the results in the literature for a fractional q-difference equation. Our study considers a more comprehensive type of fractional p,q-difference system of nonlinear equations. By the Banach contraction mapping principle, we obtain a unique solution. By Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorem, we prove the existence of solutions. In addition, finite stability has been established too. The main results in the literature have been proven to be a particular corollary of our work. Full article

In this paper, a new class of coupled hybrid systems of proportional sequential ψ-Hilfer fractional differential equations, subjected to nonlocal boundary conditions were investigated. Based on a generalization of the Krasnosel’skii˘’s fixed point theorem due to Burton, sufficient conditions were established for the existence of solutions. A numerical example was constructed illustrating the main theoretical result. For special cases of the parameters involved in the system many new results were covered. The obtained result is new and significantly contributes to existing results in the literature on coupled systems of proportional sequential ψ-Hilfer fractional differential equations. Full article

An initial value problem for a scalar nonlinear differential equation with a variable order for the generalized proportional Caputo fractional derivative is studied. We consider the case of a piecewise constant variable order of the fractional derivative. Since the order of the fractional integrals and derivatives depends on time, we will consider several different cases. The argument of the variable order could be equal to the current time or it could be equal to the variable of the integral determining the fractional derivative. We provide three different definitions of generalized proportional fractional integrals and Caputo-type derivatives, and the properties of the defined differentials/integrals are discussed and compared with what is known in the literature. Appropriate auxiliary systems with constant-order fractional derivatives are defined and used to construct solutions of the studied problem in the three cases of fractional derivatives. Existence and uniqueness are studied. Also, the Ulam-type stability is defined in the three cases, and sufficient conditions are obtained. The suggested approach is more broadly based, and the same methodology can be used in a number of additional issues. Full article
