Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, fractional calculus has witnessed tremendous progress in various areas of sciences and mathematics. On one hand, new definitions of fractional derivatives and integrals have appeared in recent years, extending the classical definitions in some sense or another. Moreover, the rigorous analysis of the functional properties of those new definitions has been an active area of research in mathematical analysis. Systems considering differential equations with fractional-order operators have been investigated rigorously from the analytical and numerical points of view, and potential applications have been proposed in the sciences and in technology. The purpose of this Special Issue is to serve as a specialized forum for the dissemination of recent progress in the theory of fractional calculus and its potential applications. We invite authors to submit high-quality reports on the analysis of fractional-order differential/integral equations, the analysis of new definitions of fractional derivatives, numerical methods for fractional-order equations, and applications to physical systems governed by fractional differential equations, among other interesting topics of research.

In this article, we study the fractional form of a well-known dynamical system from mathematical biology, namely, the Lotka–Volterra model. This mathematical model describes the dynamics of a predator and prey, and we consider here the fractional form using the Rabotnov fractional-exponential (RFE) kernel. In this work, we derive an approximate formula of the fractional derivative of a power function ζp in terms of the RFE kernel. Next, by using the spectral collocation method (SCM) based on the shifted Vieta–Lucas polynomials (VLPs), the fractional differential system is reduced to a set of algebraic equations. We provide a theoretical convergence analysis for the numerical approach, and the accuracy is verified by evaluating the residual error function through some concrete examples. The results are then contrasted with those derived using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) method. Full article

In this work, the time-fractional Navier–Stokes equation is discussed using a calculational method, which is called the Sumudu-generalized Laplace transform decomposition method (DGLTDM). The fractional derivatives are defined in the Caputo sense. The (DGLTDM) is a hybrid of the Sumudu-generalized Laplace transform and the decomposition method. Three examples of the time-fractional Navier–Stokes equation are studied to check the validity and demonstrate the effectiveness of the current method. The results show that the suggested method succeeds remarkably well in terms of proficiency and can be utilized to study more problems in the field of nonlinear fractional differential equations (FDEs).

Fractional calculus has been a concept used to acquire new variants of some well-known integral inequalities. In this study, our primary goal is to develop majorized fractional Simpson’s type estimates by employing a differentiable function. Practicing majorization theory, we formulate a new auxiliary identity by utilizing fractional integral operators. In order to obtain new bounds, we employ the idea of convex functions on the Niezgoda–Jensen–Mercer inequality for majorized tuples, along with some fundamental inequalities including the Hölder, power mean, and Young inequalities. Some applications to the quadrature rule and examples for special functions are provided as well. Interestingly, the main findings are the generalizations of many known results in the existing literature. Full article

The primary intent of this study is to establish some important inequalities of the Hermite–Hadamard, trapezoid, and midpoint types under fractional extended Riemann–Liouville integrals (FERLIs). The proofs are constructed using the renowned Jensen–Mercer, power-mean, and Holder inequalities. Various equalities for the FERLIs and convex functions are construed to be the mainstay for finding new results. Some connections between our main findings and previous research on Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals and FERLIs are also discussed. Moreover, a number of examples are featured, with graphical representations to illustrate and validate the accuracy of the new findings. Full article

From the perspective of the importance of the fractional-order linear time-invariant (FoLTI) system in plenty of applied science fields, such as control theory, signal processing, and communications, this work aims to provide certain generic solutions for commensurate and incommensurate cases of these systems in light of the Adomian decomposition method. Accordingly, we also generate another general solution of the singular FoLTI system with the use of the same methodology. Several more numerical examples are given to illustrate the core points of the perturbations of the considered singular FoLTI systems that can ultimately generate a variety of corresponding solutions.

Sanford S. Miller and Petru T. Mocanu’s theory of second-order differential subordinations was extended for the case of third-order differential subordinations by José A. Antonino and Sanford S. Miller in 2011. In this paper, new results are proved regarding third-order differential subordinations that extend the ones involving the classical second-order differential subordination theory. A method for finding a dominant of a third-order differential subordination is provided when the behavior of the function is not known on the boundary of the unit disc. Additionally, a new method for obtaining the best dominant of a third-order differential subordination is presented. This newly proposed method essentially consists of finding the univalent solution for the differential equation that corresponds to the differential subordination considered in the investigation; previous results involving third-order differential subordinations have been obtained mainly by investigating specific classes of admissible functions. The fractional integral of the Gaussian hypergeometric function, previously associated with the theory of fuzzy differential subordination, is used in this paper to obtain an interesting third-order differential subordination by involving a specific convex function. The best dominant is also provided, and the example presented proves the importance of the theoretical results involving the fractional integral of the Gaussian hypergeometric function. Full article

The objective of the current paper is to incorporate the new class and concepts of convexity and Hermite–Hadamard inequality with the fuzzy Riemann integral operators because almost all classical single-valued and interval-valued convex functions are special cases of fuzzy-number valued convex mappings. Therefore, a new class of nonconvex mapping in the fuzzy environment has been defined; up and down h-pre-invex fuzzy-number valued mappings (U.D h-pre-invex F-N∙V∙Ms). With the help of this newly defined class, some new versions of Hermite–Hadamard (HH) type inequalities have been also presented. Moreover, some related inequalities such as HH Fejér- and Pachpatte-type inequalities for U∙D h-pre-invex F-N∙V∙Ms are also introduced. Some exceptional cases have been discussed, which can be seen as applications of the main results. We have provided some nontrivial examples. Finally, we also discuss some future scopes. Full article

In recent years, there has been a significant amount of research on the extension of convex functions which are known as preinvex functions. In this paper, we have used this approach to generalize the preinvex interval-valued function in terms of (£1, £2)-preinvex interval-valued functions because of its extraordinary applications in both pure and applied mathematics. The idea of (£1, £2)-preinvex interval-valued functions is explained in this work. By using the Riemann integral operator, we obtain Hermite-Hadamard and Fejér-type inequalities for (£1, £2)-preinvex interval-valued functions. To discuss the validity of our main results, we provide non-trivial examples. Some exceptional cases have been discussed that can be seen as applications of main outcomes. Full article
