Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Symmetry is an important property by which we identify the structure of objects. The symmetry properties of equations can be used to determine solutions with particular properties or to classify equations with the same intrinsic properties. The study of symmetry is important for both applied and pure mathematics, as well as physics, engineering and other mathematically based sciences.

Symmetry analysis based on Lie group theory is one of the most important methods for solving nonlinear problems. This method can be used to find the symmetries of almost any system of differential equations, and these symmetries can be used to reduce the complexity of physical problems governed by equations.

Therefore, this Special Issue titled “Application of Symmetry in Equations” aims to collect outstanding research results in the field of symmetry in differential equations and its related fields. We encourage revolutionary research results, including new approaches, techniques and perspectives. Please note that all submitted papers should be within the scope of the journal and there should be no conflicts of interest.

In this paper, we investigate evolution systems in two components, characterized by higher-order spatial derivatives and the presence of two arbitrary functions. Our study begins with an analysis of a fourth-order system. We perform a detailed group classification and identify specific forms of the constitutive functions that allow the system to exhibit additional symmetries in addition to spatial and temporal translations. We extend these results to nth-order systems. Moreover, we derive invariant solutions for these systems. Finally, for each order n, we are able to find non-negative solutions. Full article

We generalize the U(1) gauge transformations of electrodynamics by means of an analytical extension of their parameter space and observe that this leads naturally to two gauge potentials, one electric, one magnetic, which permit the writing of local Lagrangians describing elementary particles with electric and magnetic charges. Gauge invariance requires a conformal transformation of the metric tensor. We apply this approach, which borrows from Utiyama’s methodology, to a model with a massless scalar field and a model with a massless spinor field. We observed that for spinor models non-symmetrized Lagrangians can enable the existence of magnetic monopoles, but this is not possible with symmetrized Lagrangian. Such restrictions do not occur for spinless fields, but the model does not allow spin-one fields interacting with monopoles. Full article

A subset S of non-negative integers No is called a numerical semigroup if it is a submonoid of No and has a finite complement in No. An undirected graph G(S) associated with S is a graph having V(G(S))={vi:iNoS} and E(G(S))={vivji+jS}. In this article, we propose a conjecture for the clique number of graphs associated with a symmetric family of numerical semigroups of arbitrary multiplicity and embedding dimension. Furthermore, we prove this conjecture for the case of arbitrary multiplicity and embedding dimension 7. Full article

Fractional calculus with symmetric kernels is a fast-growing field of mathematics with many applications in all branches of science and engineering, notably electromagnetic, biology, optics, viscoelasticity, fluid mechanics, electrochemistry, and signals processing. With the use of the Sardar sub-equation and the Bernoulli sub-ODE methods, new trigonometric and hyperbolic solutions to the time-fractional Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–Sawada–Kotera equation have been constructed in this paper. Notably, the definition of our fractional derivative is based on the Jumarie’s modified Riemann–Liouville derivative, which offers a strong basis for our mathematical explorations. This equation is widely utilized to report a variety of fascinating physical events in the domains of classical mechanics, plasma physics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and acoustics. It is presumed that the acquired outcomes have not been documented in earlier research. Numerous standard wave profiles, such as kink, smooth bell-shaped and anti-bell-shaped soliton, W-shaped, M-shaped, multi-wave, periodic, bright singular and dark singular soliton, and combined dark and bright soliton, are illustrated in order to thoroughly analyze the wave nature of the solutions. Painlevé analysis of the proposed study is also part of this work. To illustrate how the fractional derivative affects the precise solutions of the equation via 2D and 3D plots. Full article

The purpose of this paper is to study the dynamics of Hopfield neural networks with impulsive effects, focusing on Poisson stable rates, synaptic connections, and unpredictable external inputs. Through the symmetry of impulsive and differential compartments of the model, we follow and extend the principal dynamical ideas of the founder. Specifically, the research delves into the phenomena of unpredictability and Poisson stability, which have been examined in previous studies relating to models of continuous and discontinuous neural networks with constant components. We extend the analysis to discontinuous models characterized by variable impulsive actions and structural ingredients. The method of included intervals based on the B-topology is employed to investigate the networks. It is a novel approach that addresses the unique challenges posed by the sophisticated recurrence.
