Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The fractional dynamic is a field of study in mathematics and physics investigating the behavior of objects and systems by using differentiations of fractional orders. This Special Issue, “Fractional Dynamical Systems: Recent Trends in Theory and Applications”, will be destined for the publication of high-quality mathematical papers in the area of theory and applications of fractional systems using fractional calculus. Emphasis is placed on developments in the theory of delay differential, integrodifferential, impulsive differential, and difference equations and their applications. Among possible topics of the papers, we can note, for example, the following: Various boundary value problems, the positivity/negativity of their solutions, Green’s functions and their properties, existence, and uniqueness solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems, optimization, and control theory, stability theory, oscillation and non-oscillation, variational problems, the use of functional differential equations in technology, economics, biology, and medicine. In this Special Topics issue select contributions on some recent developments in the theory and applications of fractional dynamical systems. Results on topics involving fundamental theory, qualitative theory, iterative methods, and numerous applications of fractional-order equations are welcome.

The scope includes (but is not limited to) original research works providing characterizations, explanations, predictions of systems, and phenomena supporting the emergence of potentially novel, useful applications which can even be at a very early stage of conception. Papers based on the advances in the theory of stochastic processes and stochastic models are also welcome. The papers devoted to local and nonlocal conditions and transference differential equations of heat and mass transference mathematical processes will be considered in continuous media with memory and in media with fractal structure. These papers shall investigate modified initial and mixed boundary value problems for generalized transfer differential equations of integral and fractional orders. The fields of qualitative and quantitative analysis of nonlinear evolution equations and their applications in image analysis. Both analytical studies, as well as simulation-based studies, will be considered. We will cover Mathematical Problems in Materials Science, Mathematical Approaches to Image Processing with Applications, Applications of Partial Differential Equations, Recent Advances in Delay Differential and Difference Equations, Nonlinear Optimization, Variational Inequalities, and Equilibrium Problems, Computational Methods in Analysis and Applications, and all applied mathematical fields.

In the sense of an arbitrary time scale, some new sufficient conditions on oscillation are presented in this paper for a class of nonlinear third-order delay dynamic equations involving a local fractional derivative with a super-linear neutral term. The established oscillation results include known Kamenev and Philos-type oscillation criteria and are new oscillation results so far in the literature. Some inequalities, the Riccati transformation, the integral technique, and the theory of time scale are used in the establishment of these oscillation criteria. The proposed results unify continuous and discrete analysis, and the process of deduction is further extended to another class of nonlinear third-order delay dynamic equations involving a local fractional derivative with a super-linear neutral term and a damping term. As applications for the established oscillation criteria, some examples are given. Full article

In this paper, we investigate the controllability conditions of linear control systems involving distinct local fractional derivatives. Sufficient conditions for controllability using Kalman rank conditions and the Gramian matrix are presented. We show that the controllability of the local fractional system can be determined by the invertibility of the Gramian matrix and the full rank of the Kalman matrix. We also show that the local fractional system involving distinct orders is controllable if and only if the Gramian matrix is invertible. Illustrative examples and an application are provided to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical findings. Full article

This paper introduces a methodology for examining finite-approximate controllability in Hilbert spaces for linear/semilinear ν-Caputo fractional evolution equations. A novel criterion for achieving finite-approximate controllability in linear ν-Caputo fractional evolution equations is established, utilizing resolvent-like operators. Additionally, we identify a control strategy that not only satisfies the approximative controllability property but also ensures exact finite-dimensional controllability. Leveraging the approximative controllability of the corresponding linear ν-Caputo fractional evolution system, we establish sufficient conditions for achieving finite-approximative controllability in the semilinear ν-Caputo fractional evolution equation. These findings extend and build upon recent advancements in this field. The paper also explores applications to ν-Caputo fractional heat equations. Full article

In this research work, we investigate the complex structure of soliton in the Fractional Kudryashov–Sinelshchikov Equation (FKSE) using conformable fractional derivatives. Our study involves the development of soliton solutions using the modified Extended Direct Algebraic Method (mEDAM). This approach involves a key variable transformation, which successfully transforms the model into a Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation (NODE). Following that, by using a series form solution, the NODE is turned into a system of algebraic equations, allowing us to construct soliton solutions methodically. The FKSE is the governing equation, allowing for heat transmission and viscosity effects while capturing the behaviour of pressure waves in liquid–gas bubble mixtures. The solutions we discover include generalised trigonometric, hyperbolic, and rational functions with kinks, singular kinks, multi-kinks, lumps, shocks, and periodic waves. We depict two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and contour graphs to aid comprehension. These newly created soliton solutions have far-reaching ramifications not just in mathematical physics, but also in a wide range of subjects such as optical fibre research, plasma physics, and a variety of applied sciences.
