Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Computer vision (e.g., for the autonomous driving of cars), artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, and computational and mathematical modeling of biological, engineering, physical systems are becoming increasingly attractive and suitable methods for the solution of daily complex non-linear problems which, however, are showing the existence of some symmetries. These problems can be easily solved using methods of modern advanced calculus and original theories and algorithms that have recently been discovered. The most efficient computations which follow from the increasingly powerful hardware and software thus enable us to handle more and more complex problems. However, it has also been recognized that very often also in some problems there exists some kind of symmetry which reduces the complexity. Therefore in the analysis of radioactive decay in chemistry, in the prediction of birth and death rates, as well as in the study of gravity and planetary motion, fluid flow, ship design, geometric curves, and bridge engineering, we can combine advanced calculus with symmetry properties to easily handle and solve such problems. This demand requires that all application areas maintain great accuracy and increasing efficiency in all the systems by using advanced calculus.

This Special Issue aims to focus on symmetry in advanced calculus in the development, design, implementation, modeling, and validation of systems in all areas of science, computer science, engineering applications, finance, and natural science. Authors are encouraged to submit both original research articles and surveys. Research articles should address the originality, as well as practical aspects and implementation, of the work in the field, while surveys should provide an overview and up-to-date information. Topics of interest include:

  • Advanced calculus in mathematics;
  • Advanced methods, computations, and algorithms in artificial intelligence and applications;
  • Advanced methods, computations, and algorithms in robotics and machine learning;
  • Advanced calculus in mathematical modeling of physical, biological, engineering, and financial problems;
  • Advanced calculus in sequence and series in functional analysis;
  • Advanced calculus in generalized fractional calculus and applications;
  • Advanced calculus in the theory of special functions related to fractional (non-integer) order control systems and equations;
  • Advanced applications of calculus in mechanics;
  • Advanced applications of calculus in physics;
  • Advanced methods for the analysis of special functions arising in the fractional diffusion-wave equations;
  • Advanced operational methods in calculus;
  • Advanced applications of inequalities for classical and fractional differential equations.

The aim of this paper is to derive some common best proximity point results in partial metric spaces defining a new class of symmetric mappings, which is a generalization of cyclic ϕ-contraction mappings. With the help of these symmetric mappings, the characterization of completeness of metric spaces given by Cobzas (2016) is extended here for partial metric spaces. The existence of a solution to the Fredholm integral equation is also obtained here via a fixed-point formulation for such mappings. Full article

In many countries the COVID-19 pandemic seems to witness second and third waves with dire consequences on human lives and economies. Given this situation the modeling of the transmission of the disease is still the subject of research with the ultimate goal of understanding the dynamics of the disease and assessing the efficacy of different mitigation strategies undertaken by the affected countries. We propose a mathematical model for COVID-19 transmission. The model is structured upon five classes: an individual can be susceptible, exposed, infectious, quarantined or removed. The model is based on a nonlinear incidence rate, takes into account the influence of media on public behavior, and assumes the recovery rate to be dependent on the hospital-beds to population ratio. A detailed analysis of the proposed model is carried out, including the existence and uniqueness of solutions, stability analysis of the disease-free equilibrium (symmetry) and sensitivity analysis. We found that if the basic reproduction number is less than unity the system can exhibit Hopf and backward bifurcations for some range of parameters. Numerical simulations using parameter values fitted to Saudi Arabia are carried out to support the theoretical proofs and to analyze the effects of hospital-beds to population ratio, quarantine, and media effects on the predicted nonlinear behavior.

This manuscript aims to study a generalized, set-valued, mixed-ordered, variational inclusion problem involving H(·,·)-compression XOR-αM-non-ordinary difference mapping and relaxed cocoercive mapping in real-ordered Hilbert spaces. The resolvent operator associated with H(·,·)-compression XOR-αM-non-ordinary difference mapping is defined, and some of its characteristics are discussed. We prove existence and uniqueness results for the considered generalized, set-valued, mixed-ordered, variational inclusion problem. Further, we put forward a three-step iterative algorithm using a ⊕ operator, and analyze the convergence of the suggested iterative algorithm under some mild assumptions. Finally, we reconfirm the existence and convergence results by an illustrative numerical example. Full article

Systems of coupled nonlinear PDEs are applied in many fields as suitable models for many natural and physical phenomena. This makes them active and attractive subjects for both theoretical and numerical investigations. In the present paper, a symmetric nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) system is considered for the existence of the steady state solutions by applying a minimizing problem on some modified Nehari manifold. The nonlinear part is a mixture of cubic and superlinear nonlinearities and cubic correlations. Some numerical simulations are also illustrated graphically to confirm the theoretical results.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a new type of extended metric space, i.e., the rectangular quasi-partial b-metric space, which means a relaxation of the symmetry requirement of metric spaces, by including a real number s in the definition of the rectangular metric space defined by Branciari. Here, we obtain a fixed point theorem for interpolative Rus–Reich–Ćirić contraction mappings in the realm of rectangular quasi-partial b-metric spaces. Furthermore, an example is also illustrated to present the applicability of our result. Full article

In this article, the iteration transform method is used to evaluate the solution of a fractional-order dark optical soliton, bright optical soliton, and periodic solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The Caputo operator describes the fractional-order derivatives. The solutions of some illustrative examples are presented to show the validity of the proposed technique without using any polynomials. The proposed method provides the series form solutions, which converge to the exact results. Using the present methodology, the solutions of fractional-order problems as well as integral-order problems are calculated. The present method has less computational costs and a higher rate of convergence. Therefore, the suggested algorithm is constructive to solve other fractional-order linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. Full article

The time–fractional reaction–diffusion (TFRD) model has broad physical perspectives and theoretical interpretation, and its numerical techniques are of significant conceptual and applied importance. A numerical technique is constructed for the solution of the TFRD model with the non-singular kernel. The Caputo–Fabrizio operator is applied for the discretization of time levels while the extended cubic B-spline (ECBS) function is applied for the space direction. The ECBS function preserves geometrical invariability, convex hull and symmetry property. Unconditional stability and convergence analysis are also proved. The projected numerical method is tested on two numerical examples. The theoretical and numerical results demonstrate that the order of convergence of 2 in time and space directions. Full article

The telegraph model describes that the current and voltage waves can be reflected on a wire, that symmetrical wave patterns can form along a line. A numerical study of these voltage and current waves on a transferral line has been proposed via a modified extended cubic B-spline (MECBS) method. The B-spline functions have the flexibility and high order accuracy to approximate the solutions. These functions also preserve the symmetrical property. The MECBS and Crank Nicolson technique are employed to find out the solution of the non-linear time fractional telegraph equation. The time direction is discretized in the Caputo sense while the space dimension is discretized by the modified extended cubic B-spline. The non-linearity in the equation is linearized by Taylor’s series. The proposed algorithm is unconditionally stable and convergent. The numerical examples are displayed to verify the authenticity and implementation of the method. Full article
