Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Boundary value problems (BVPs) have been a rapidly growing area of research. The study of these types of problems has not only a theoretical interest, including a huge variety of variational and topological methods and techniques, but also the possibility to model real phenomena in engineering, economics, physics, and life sciences, among others.

Its versatility and applicability are fundamentally derived from being able to consider many types of difference, differential, fractional, integrodifferential, and abstract equations or systems of equations, and a panoply of boundary conditions, such as local, nonlocal, integral ones, or given by functional expressions related to global behavior and values.

This special issue aims to promote the exchange of ideas and methods between researchers and to spread recent advances in this area. It will focus on all aspects of BVPs, variational and topological techniques, discrete and continuous equations, fractional differential equations, regular, singular, resonant problems, and their applications.

In this Special Issue, we propose to compile state-of-the-art results that can contribute effectively to these areas, and therefore, we invite authors to present original research articles.

Before submission, authors should carefully read over the journal's instructions for Authors at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/axioms/instructions.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Initial and boundary value problems;
  • Nonlinear differential and integral equations;
  • Fractional calculus and applications;
  • Variational and topological methods;
  • Eigenvalue problems for BVPs;
  • Qualitative, asymptotic and oscillation properties, such as positivity, oscillation, symmetry, bifurcation, asymptotic behavior, regularity, and stability;
  • Continuous and discrete dynamical systems;
  • Applications to real world phenomena.

This paper is concerned with a study of a special integral equation. This integral equation arises in many applied problems, including transmutation theory, inverse scattering problems, the solution of singular Sturm–Liouville and Shrödinger equations, and the representation of solutions of singular Sturm–Liouville and Shrödinger equations. A special integral equation is derived and formulated using the Riemann function of a singular hyperbolic equation. In the paper, the existence of a unique solution to this equation is proven by the method of successive approximations. The results can be applied, for example, to representations of solutions to Sturm–Liouville equations with singular potentials, such as Bargmann and Miura potentials, and similiar. The treatment of problems with such potentials are very important in mathematical physics, and inverse, scattering and related problems. The estimates received do not contain any undefined constants, and for transmutation kernels all estimates are explicitly written. Full article

In this paper, we were interested in obtaining the exact expression and studying the regions of constant sign of Green’s function related to a second-order perturbed periodic problem coupled with integral boundary conditions at the extremes of the interval of the definition. To obtain the expression of Green’s function related to this problem, we used the theory presented in a previous paper of the authors for general non-local perturbed boundary-value problems. Moreover, we characterized the parameter set where such a Green’s function has a constant sign. To this end, we needed to consider first a related second-order problem without integral boundary conditions, obtaining the properties of its Green’s function and then using them to compute the sign of the one related to the main problem.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a coupled implicit system involving ψ-Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative with nonlocal conditions. We first transformed the coupled implicit problem into an integral system and then analyzed the uniqueness and existence of this integral system by means of Banach fixed-point theorem and Krasnoselskiis fixed-point theorem. Some known results in the literature are extended. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our theoretical result. Full article

In the present research, we initiate the study of boundary value problems for sequential Riemann–Liouville and Hadamard–Caputo fractional derivatives, supplemented with iterated fractional integral boundary conditions. Firstly, we convert the given nonlinear problem into a fixed point problem by considering a linear variant of the given problem. Once the fixed point operator is available, we use a variety of fixed point theorems to establish results regarding existence and uniqueness. Some properties of iteration that will be used in our study are also discussed. Examples illustrating our main results are also constructed. At the end, a brief conclusion is given. Our results are new in the given configuration and enrich the literature on boundary value problems for fractional differential equations. Full article

This work concerns with the solvability of third-order periodic fully problems with a weighted parameter, where the nonlinearity must verify only a local monotone condition and no periodic, coercivity or super or sublinearity restrictions are assumed, as usual in the literature. The arguments are based on a new type of lower and upper solutions method, not necessarily well ordered. A Nagumo growth condition and Leray–Schauder’s topological degree theory are the existence tools. Only the existence of solution is studied here and it will remain open the discussion on the non-existence and the multiplicity of solutions. Last section contains a nonlinear third-order differential model for periodic catatonic phenomena, depending on biological and/or chemical parameters. Full article

This manuscript presents an efficient pair of hybrid Nyström techniques to solve second-order Lane–Emden singular boundary value problems directly. One of the proposed strategies uses three off-step points. The obtained formulas are paired with an appropriate set of formulas implemented for the first step to avoid singularity at the left end of the integration interval. The fundamental properties of the proposed scheme are analyzed. Some test problems, including chemical kinetics and physical model problems, are solved numerically to determine the efficiency and validity of the proposed approach. Full article

The aim of this work is to prove the well-posedness of some linear and nonlinear mixed problems with integral conditions defined only on two parts of the considered boundary. First, we establish for the associated linear problem a priori estimate and prove that the range of the operator generated by the considered problem is dense using a functional analysis method. Then by applying an iterative process based on the obtained results for the linear problem, we establish the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence of the weak solution of the nonlinear problem.

The new existence results have not yet been reported before. Novel coupled fractional jerk equations with resonant boundary value conditions are discussed in detail for the first time.
