The main purpose of this paper is to present a new approach to achieving analytical solutions of parameter containing fractional-order differential equations. Using the nonlinear self-adjoint notion, approximate solutions, conservation laws and symmetries of these equations are also obtained via a new formulation of an improved form of the Noether’s theorem. It is indicated that invariant solutions, reduced equations, perturbed or unperturbed symmetries and conservation laws can be obtained by applying a nonlinear self-adjoint notion. The method is applied to the time fractional-order Fokker–Planck equation. We obtained new results in a highly efficient and elegant manner. Full article

A spectral collocation approach is constructed to solve a class of time-fractional stochastic heat equations (TFSHEs) driven by Brownian motion. Stochastic differential equations with additive noise have an important role in explaining some symmetry phenomena such as symmetry breaking in molecular vibrations. Finding the exact solution of such equations is difficult in many cases. Thus, a collocation method based on sixth-kind Chebyshev polynomials (SKCPs) is introduced to assess their numerical solutions. This collocation approach reduces the considered problem to a system of linear algebraic equations. The convergence and error analysis of the suggested scheme are investigated. In the end, numerical results and the order of convergence are evaluated for some numerical test problems to illustrate the efficiency and robustness of the presented method. Full article

Space non-integer order convection–diffusion descriptions are generalized form of integer order convection–diffusion problems expressing super diffusive and convective transport processes. In this article, we propose finite difference approximation for space fractional convection–diffusion model having space variable coefficients on the given bounded domain over time and space. It is shown that the Crank–Nicolson difference scheme based on the right shifted Grünwald–Letnikov difference formula is unconditionally stable and it is also of second order consistency both in temporal and spatial terms with extrapolation to the limit approach. Numerical experiments are tested to verify the efficiency of our theoretical analysis and confirm order of convergence. Full article

We consider linear differential equations with variable delay of the form

x^{'} (t) + p (t) x (t - τ (t)) = 0, t \geq t_{0},

where

p : [t_{0}, \infty) \to [0, \infty)

and

τ : [t_{0}, \infty) \to (0, \infty)

are continuous functions, such that

t - τ (t) \to \infty

(as

t \to \infty

). It is well-known that, for the oscillation of all solutions, it is necessary that

B : = \underset{t \to \infty}{lim sup} A (t) \geq \frac{1}{e} holds, where A : = (t) \int_{t - τ (t)}^{t} p (s) d s .

Our main result shows that, if the function A is slowly varying at infinity (in additive form), then under mild additional assumptions on p and

τ

, condition

B > 1 / e

implies that all solutions of the above delay differential equation are oscillatory. Full article

A linear autonomous differential equation with small delay is considered in this paper. It is shown that under a smallness condition the delay differential equation is asymptotically equivalent to a linear ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients. The coefficient matrix of the ordinary differential equation is a solution of an associated matrix equation and it can be written as a limit of a sequence of matrices obtained by successive approximations. The eigenvalues of the approximating matrices converge exponentially to the dominant characteristic roots of the delay differential equation and an explicit estimate for the approximation error is given.

In this paper the model of infection diseases by Marchuk is considered. Mathematical questions which are important in its study are discussed. Among them there are stability of stationary points, construction of the Cauchy matrices of linearized models, estimates of solutions. The novelty we propose is in a distributed feedback control which affects the antibody concentration. We use this control in the form of an integral term and come to the analysis of nonlinear integro-differential systems. New methods for the study of stability of linearized integro–differential systems describing the model of infection diseases are proposed. Explicit conditions of the exponential stability of the stationary points characterizing the state of the healthy body are obtained. The method of the paper is based on the symmetry properties of the Cauchy matrices which allow us their construction. Full article
