Special Issue Information

In Memory of Prof. J. A. Tenreiro Machado

On October 6, 2021 Prof. Tenreiro Machado passed away. With his kindness, his warm character and his sophisticated sense of humor, Prof. Tenreiro Machado had a reassuring presence, which helped the flow of exchanges at all levels. His passion for science seemed to be boundless. He was always eager to embark on new projects and to contaminate others with his enthusiasm.

Prof. Tenreiro Machado had a great cultural background and very extensive scientific interests. He was a pioneer in the field of fractional calculus. The breadth of Prof. Tenreiro Machado’s research, the global dissemination of his results, and his legacy belong to all scholars involved in any way in the study of fractional calculus.

His innovative mathematical ideas and contributions will certainly serve as an inspiration for mathematicians for a long time.

We are proud that he was the Editor-in-Chief of Mathematics and Section Editor-in-Chief of Entropy when this Special Issue was proposed. We dedicate this Special Issue to his memory. We are unable to express our sadness for this loss.

Dear Colleagues,

The theory of dynamical systems has evolved from linear to nonlinear and then to complex systems. Indeed, new modelling and control techniques have been developed and applied in various fields, such as physics, mechanics, electronics, economy, finance, geophysics and biology to mention a few. Nonlinear and complex dynamical systems, as well as their related concepts of chaos, bifurcations, criticality, symmetry, memory, scale invariance, fractality, fractionality and other rich features, have attracted researchers from many areas of science and technology that are involved in systems modelling and control, with applications to real-world problems. However, at present, there are still many unsolved problems, and new theoretical developments and applications are needed in order to describe and control more accurately dynamical systems with linear, nonlinear and complex behaviour.

This Special Issue focuses on the modelling and control of dynamic systems. Manuscripts on linear and nonlinear dynamics, systems modelling, advanced control theory, complex systems, fractional calculus, fractals, entropy, information theory, chaos, self-organization and criticality, among others, are welcome.

This Special Issue will bring together contributions from researchers in different topics of engineering, mathematics, physics, biology, geophysics and other sciences. Papers describing original theoretical research as well as new experimental results are welcome.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Mathematics.

In this research work, we deal with the stabilization of uncertain fractional-order neutral systems with delayed input. To tackle this problem, the guaranteed cost control method is considered. The purpose is to design a proportional–differential output feedback controller to obtain a satisfactory performance. The stability of the overall system is described in terms of matrix inequalities, and the corresponding analysis is performed in the perspective of Lyapunov’s theory. Two application examples verify the analytic findings. Full article

This paper introduces a direct method derived from the global radial basis function (RBF) interpolation over arbitrary collocation nodes occurring in variational problems involving functionals that depend on functions of a number of independent variables. This technique parameterizes solutions with an arbitrary RBF and transforms the two-dimensional variational problem (2DVP) into a constrained optimization problem via arbitrary collocation nodes. The advantage of this method lies in its flexibility in selecting between different RBFs for the interpolation and parameterizing a wide range of arbitrary nodal points. Arbitrary collocation points for the center of the RBFs are applied in order to reduce the constrained variation problem into one of a constrained optimization. The Lagrange multiplier technique is used to transform the optimization problem into an algebraic equation system. Three numerical examples indicate the high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed technique. Full article

An alternate measure of uncertainty, termed the fractional generalized cumulative residual entropy, has been introduced in the literature. In this paper, we first investigate some variability properties this measure has and then establish its connection to other dispersion measures. Moreover, we prove under sufficient conditions that this measure preserves the location-independent riskier order. We then elaborate on the fractional survival functional entropy of coherent and mixed systems’ lifetime in the case that the component lifetimes are dependent and they have identical distributions. Finally, we give some bounds and illustrate the usefulness of the given bounds. Full article

In this paper, the fractional cumulative entropy is considered to get its further properties and also its developments to dynamic cases. The measure is used to characterize a family of symmetric distributions and also another location family of distributions. The links between the fractional cumulative entropy and the classical differential entropy and some reliability quantities are also unveiled. In addition, the connection the measure has with the standard deviation is also found. We provide some examples to establish the variability property of this measure. Full article

In the spectral analysis of operators associated with Sturm–Liouville-type boundary value problems for fractional differential equations, the problem of positive definiteness or the problem of Hermitian nonnegativity of the corresponding kernels plays an important role. The present paper is mainly devoted to this problem. It should be noted that the operators under study are non-self-adjoint, their spectral structure is not well investigated. In this paper we use various methods to prove the Hermitian non-negativity of the studied kernels; in particular, a study of matrices that approximate the Green’s function of the boundary value problem for a differential equation of fractional order is carried out. Using the well-known Livshits theorem, it is shown that the system of eigenfunctions of considered operator is complete in the space L2(0,1). Generally speaking, it should be noted that this very important problem turned out to be very difficult. Full article
