Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

This Special Issue focuses on nonlinear science and mathematical physics, a special theme of the 2023 4th International Conference on Materials, Physics and Computers (MPC 2023). MPC 2023 was organized by the International Engineering and Technology Institute (IETI), co-organized by the NanoFemto Lab, Canada; the Center for Advanced Diffusion-Wave and Photoacoustic Technologies (CADIPT); the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada; Hohai University Institute of Physics, China; the Interactions, Dynamics, and Energetics in the Atmosphere (IDEA) Team of Pennsylvania State University, USA; the Integrated Energy Solutions for Entrepreneurs (IESE) Program of Pennsylvania State University, USA; Wuhan University of Technology Nano Key Lab, China; and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Northern Illinois University, USA. This conference will be held on 30–31 July 2023 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and attendance can be face-to-face or online via ZOOM. In the last three decades, researchers of fractional calculus have developed an interest in investigating problems in nonlinear science and engineering. New or generalized fractional operators are important for studying these problems in mathematical physics. Therefore, new, modified, or generalized techniques, formulated from a fractional calculus standpoint, are needed to develop solutions to these problems. The purpose of this Special Issue is to focus on new or generalized fractional operators for investigating problems in nonlinear mathematical physics.

For this conference’s Special Issue, we invite international scholars to submit conference reports and current research results, with the aim of becoming the flagship academic conference in the fields of nonlinear science and mathematical physics. This conference will provide a first-class global academic exchange platform for academics, professors, researchers, teachers and students. The meeting will take place in the form of conference reports, group reports and paper publications. Furthermore, with a view to recognizing outstanding manuscripts, the conference will present best paper awards. This conference’s Special Issue aims to address a particular aspect of newly generalized fractional operators and their applications in nonlinear mathematical physics.

In this paper, we apply two different methods, namely, the GG-expansion method and the GG2-expansion method to investigate the nonlinear time fractional Harry Dym equation in the Caputo sense and the symmetric regularized long wave equation in the conformable sense. The mentioned nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs) arise in diverse physical applications such as ion sound waves in plasma and waves on shallow water surfaces. There exist multiple wave solutions to many NPDEs and researchers are interested in analytical approaches to obtain these multiple wave solutions. The multi-exp-function method (MEFM) formulates a solution algorithm for calculating multiple wave solutions to NPDEs and at the end of paper, we apply the MEFM for calculating multiple wave solutions to the (2 + 1)-dimensional equation.

In this study, we utilize the properties of the Sumudu transform (SuT) and combine it with the homotopy perturbation method to address the time fractional Navier-Stokes equation. We introduce a new technique called the homotopy perturbation Sumudu transform Strategy (HPSuTS), which combines the SuT with the homotopy perturbation method using He’s polynomials. This approach proves to be powerful and practical for solving various linear and nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in scientific and engineering fields. We demonstrate the efficiency and simplicity of this method through examples, showcasing its ability to approximate solutions for FPDEs. Additionally, we compare the numerical results obtained using this technique for different values of alpha, showing that as the value moves from a fractional order to an integer order, the solution becomes increasingly similar to the exact solution. Furthermore, we provide the tabular representations of the solution for each example. Full article

In this article, the exact solutions of the stochastic conformable Broer–Kaup equations with conformable derivatives which describe the bidirectional propagation of long waves in shallow water are obtained using the modified exponential function method and the generalized Kudryashov method. These exact solutions consist of hyperbolic, trigonometric, rational trigonometric, rational hyperbolic, and rational function solutions, respectively. This shows that the proposed methods are competent and sufficient. In addition, it is aimed to better understand the physical properties by drawing two- and three-dimensional graphics of the exact solutions according to different parameter values. When these exact solutions obtained by two different methods are compared with the solutions attained by other methods, it can be said that these two methods are competent. Full article

In this study, we used two unique approaches, namely the Yang transform decomposition method (YTDM) and the homotopy perturbation transform method (HPTM), to derive approximate analytical solutions for nonlinear time-fractional Zakharov–Kuznetsov equations (ZKEs). This framework demonstrated the behavior of weakly nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in plasma containing cold ions and hot isothermal electrons in the presence of a uniform magnetic flux. The density fraction and obliqueness of two compressive and rarefactive potentials are depicted. In the Liouville–Caputo sense, the fractional derivative is described. In these procedures, we first used the Yang transform to simplify the problems and then applied the decomposition and perturbation methods to obtain comprehensive results for the problems. The results of these methods also made clear the connections between the precise solutions to the issues under study. Illustrations of the reliability of the proposed techniques are provided. The results are clarified through graphs and tables. The reliability of the proposed procedures is demonstrated by illustrative examples. The proposed approaches are attractive, though these easy approaches may be time-consuming for solving diverse nonlinear fractional-order partial differential equations. Full article

In this work, we consider the Boiti–Leon–Manna–Pempinelli equation with the M-truncated derivative (BLMPE-MTD). Our aim here is to obtain trigonometric, rational and hyperbolic solutions of BLMPE-MTD by employing two diverse methods, namely, He’s semi-inverse method and the extended tanh function method. In addition, we generalize some previous results. As the Boiti–Leon–Manna–Pempinelli equation is a model for an incompressible fluid, the solutions obtained may be utilized to represent a wide variety of fascinating physical phenomena. We construct a large number of 2D and 3D figures to demonstrate the impact of the M-truncated derivative on the exact solution of the BLMPE-MTD. Full article

In this article, we introduce the generalized Bessel–Maitland function (EGBMF) using the extended beta function and some important properties obtained. Thus, we first show interesting relationships of this function with Laguerre polynomials and the Whittaker functions. We also introduce and prove some properties of the derivatives associated with EGBMF. In this sense, we establish a result relative to the extended fractional derivatives of Riemann–Liouville. Furthermore, the Mellin transform of this function is evaluated in terms of the generalized Wright hypergeometric function, and its Euler transform is also obtained. Finally, we derive several graphical representations using the Gauss quadrature and the Laguerre–Gauss quadrature methods, which show that the numerical and theoretical simulations are consistent. The results derived from this research can be potentially useful in applications in several fields, in particular, physics, applied mathematics, and engineering. Full article

This study establishes the existence and stability of solutions for a general class of Riemann–Liouville (RL) fractional differential equations (FDEs) with a variable order and finite delay. Our findings are confirmed by the fixed-point theorems (FPTs) from the available literature. We transform the RL FDE of variable order to alternate RL fractional integral structure, then with the use of classical FPTs, the existence results are studied and the Hyers–Ulam stability is established by the help of standard notions. The approach is more broad-based and the same methodology can be used for a number of additional issues. Full article
