Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The need for dynamics and control of nonlinear oscillating systems is ubiquitous in engineering given that real-world engineering systems are, in general, nonlinear and oscillatory.

This multidisciplinary field encompasses computation, physics, mathematics, electrical and mechanical engineering, chemical processes, and so forth.

The objective of this topic is to propose a set of publications providing a forum for discussing and disseminating the latest approaches, methodologies, results, and current challenges in nonlinear dynamics and chaotic systems.

Contributions that focus on all analytical, computational, and experimental aspects of nonlinear dynamics, chaos, and control, including fractional approaches, electromechanical systems at MACRO, MEMS, and NEMS scales, nonideal oscillating systems (limited power supplies), and novel phenomena and behaviors linked to several aspects of symmetry on nonlinear dynamics, chaos, and control, are welcome.

This theme will also be a great opportunity for disseminating recent developments in analytical and numerical techniques and for discussing novel phenomena and behaviors involving several aspects of nonlinear dynamics and control. In addition, works related to relevant and current issues, such as epidemiological models, rumor dissemination, and complex systems are also welcome.

Lastly, researchers and practitioners are invited to submit their original research work in the rapidly developing field of nonlinear dynamics and control of system oscillations and their applications to engineering and science. Therefore, we encourage the submission of researchers’ and practitioners’ latest unpublished works.

Fractional modeling has emerged as an important resource for describing complex phenomena and systems exhibiting non-local behavior or memory effects, finding increasing application in several areas in physics and engineering. This study presents the analytical derivation of equations pertinent to the modeling of different systems, with a focus on heat conduction. Two specific boundary value problems are addressed: a Helmholtz equation modified with a fractional derivative term, and a fractional formulation of the Laplace equation applied to steady-state heat conduction in circular geometry. The methodology combines the separation of variables technique with fractional power series expansions, primarily utilizing the Caputo fractional derivative. An important aspect of this paper is its instructional emphasis, wherein the mathematical derivations are presented with detail and clarity. This didactic approach is intended to make the analytical methodology transparent and more understandable, thereby facilitating greater comprehension of the application of these established methods to non-integer-order systems. The final goal is not only to provide a different approach of solving these physical models analytically, but to provide a clear, guided pathway for those engaging in the treatment of fractional differential equations.
