This paper presents a new hybrid block method formulated in variable stepsize mode to solve some first-order initial value problems of ODEs and time-dependent partial differential equations in applied sciences and engineering. The proposed method is implemented considering an adaptive stepsize strategy to maintain the estimated error in each step within a specified tolerance. In order to evaluate the performance and usefulness of the proposed technique in real-world applications, several differential problems from applied sciences and engineering, such as the SIR model, Jacobi elliptic function problem, and chemical reactions problems, are solved numerically. The results of numerical simulations in this work demonstrate that the proposed method is more efficient than other existing numerical methods used for comparisons. Full article

This paper aims to solve general fractional Lane-Emden-Fowler differential equations using the Haar wavelet collocation method. This method transforms the fractional differential equation into a nonlinear system of equations, which is further solved for Haar coefficients using Newton’s method. We have constructed the higher-order Lane-Emden-Fowler equations. We have also discussed the convergence rate and stability analysis of our technique. We have explained the applications and numerically simulated the examples graphically and in tabular format to elaborate on the accuracy and efficiency of this approach. Full article

In order to maximize benefits, oligopolistic competition often occurs in contemporary society. Establishing the mathematical models to reveal the law of market competition has become a vital topic. In the current study, on the basis of the earlier publications, we propose a new fractional-order Bertrand duopoly game model incorporating both nonidentical time delays. The dynamics involving existence and uniqueness, non-negativeness, and boundedness of solution to the considered fractional-order Bertrand duopoly game model are systematacially analyzed via the Banach fixed point theorem, mathematical analysis technique, and construction of an appropriate function. Making use of different delays as bifurcation parameters, several sets of new stability and bifurcation conditions ensuring the stability and the creation of Hopf bifurcation of the established fractional-order Bertrand duopoly game model are acquired. By virtue of a proper definite function, we set up a new sufficient condition that ensures globally asymptotically stability of the considered fractional-order Bertrand duopoly game model. The work reveals the impact of different types of delays on the stability and Hopf bifurcation of the proposed fractional-order Bertrand duopoly game model. The study shows that we can adjust the delay to achieve price balance of different products. To confirm the validity of the derived criteria, we put computer simulation into effect. The derived conclusions in this article are wholly new and have great theoretical value in administering companies. Full article

In this study, we explore a recent biological model created to analyze the behavior of cancer cells by administering a dose of a drug containing anti-PD-L1 and IL-10 with the Caputo and Atangana–Baleanu derivative in the Caputo sense (ABC). Using the Caputo derivative in order to examine the stability of the non-linear system, we are able to demonstrate that it is existent and unique, and to introduce several numeric data obtained for the fractional values in MATLAB by using the Adams–Bashforth–Moulton (ABM) method. Additionally, by using the predictor–corrector approach, the numerical results from the system with ABC derivative will be produced. As a result, it has been observed that immune system cells that are exposed to single-dose drug with fractional order effectively combat cancer cells. The tumor cells decrease by 70.44% and 80.16% for the system generalized by the Caputo and ABC derivative, respectively, for the order α=0.42. Full article

The core purpose of this work is the formulation of a mathematical model by dint of a new fractional modeling approach to study the dynamics of flow and heat transfer phenomena. This approach involves the incorporation of the Prabhakar fractional operator in mathematical analysis to transform the governing system from a conventional framework to a generalized one. This generalized model evaluates the improvement in thermal efficacy of vacuum pump oil because of the inclusion of aluminum alloy nanoparticles. The flow of the under-observation nanofluid starts due to the combined effects of natural convection and the ramped velocity function at the boundary. Meanwhile, an analysis of the energy equation is conducted by taking the Newtonian heating mechanism into consideration. The characteristics of platelet-, brick-, cylinder-, and blade-shaped alloy nanoparticles are incorporated into the primary system using shape-dependent relations for thermal conductivity and viscosity. Both the classical and generalized models are solved to derive the exact solutions by first inserting some dimension-independent quantities and then operating the Laplace transform on the succeeding equations. These solutions are utilized for the development of graphical illustrations to serve the purpose of covering all features of the problem under consideration. Furthermore, changes in energy and flow functions due to the dominant influences of the relevant contributing factors are delineated with appropriate physical arguments. In addition, the numerical results of the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are displayed via multiple tables to analyze the disturbance in shear stress and discuss the contribution of the fractional parameters, the volume concentration of the considered nanoparticles, and the shape factor in the boost of the thermal potential of the considered nanofluid. The findings imply that aluminum alloy nanoparticles have the ability to produce a 44% enhancement in the thermal effectiveness of vacuum pump oil. Moreover, the flow velocity is reduced as the loading range of the nanoparticles rises. Full article
