Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinear differential equations show important and strong abilities to govern enormous physical, biological, and engineering practical problems. Abundant solutions and the related localized structures of nonlinear differential equations play important roles in many applied sciences, including condensed matter physics, nonlinear optics, biology physics, hydrodynamics, and other fields. Therefore, the continued development of more advanced, effective methods to solve nonlinear differential equations is of paramount importance.

This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Nonlinear Differential Equations with Applications”, aims to reflect the current state-of-the-art developments in all topics relevant to nonlinear differential equations and their applications in various applied sciences. We encourage all researchers working in areas of knowledge related to nonlinear differential equations to submit the details of their research. We hope this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive background for engineers, researchers, and experts in the field. The topics to be considered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Nonlinear differential equations and their fractional forms in physics, optical engineering, and biology;
  • Nonlinear difference-differential equations in physics, optical engineering, and biology;
  • Abundant solutions and the related localized structures of nonlinear differential equations;
  • Data-driven solutions to nonlinear differential equations via deep learning;
  • New methods to solve nonlinear differential equations;
  •  Symmetry of differential equations and its application;
  • Nonlinear differential equations and their solutions in other applied sciences.

In this study, the extended G/G method is used to investigate the space–time fractional Burger-like equation and the space–time-coupled Boussinesq equation with M-truncated derivative, which have an important place in fluid dynamics. This method is efficient and produces soliton solutions. A symbolic computation program called Maple was used to implement the method in a dependable and effective way. There are also a few graphs provided for the solutions. Using the suggested method to solve these equations, we have provided many new exact solutions that are distinct from those previously found. By offering insightful explanations of many nonlinear systems, the study’s findings add to the body of literature. The results revealed that the suggested method is a valuable mathematical tool and that using a symbolic computation program makes these tasks simpler, more dependable, and quicker. It is worth noting that it may be used for a wide range of nonlinear evolution problems in mathematical physics. The study’s findings may have an influence on how different physical problems are interpreted. Full article

Using the concept of a fractional derivative, in Caputo’s sense, we derive and solve a fractional differential equation that models the deflection of beams. The scheme to introduce the fractional concept can be used for different situations; in the article, we only consider four cases as an example of its usefulness. In addition, we establish a relationship between the fractional index and the level of stiffness (or flexibility) of the material with which the beam is made. Full article

In this paper, the coupled local fractional sine-Gordon equations are studied in the range of local fractional derivative theory. The study of exact solutions of nonlinear coupled systems is of great significance for understanding complex physical phenomena in reality. The main method used in this paper is the local fractional homotopy perturbation method, which is used to analyze the exact traveling wave solutions of generalized nonlinear systems defined on the Cantor set in the fractal domain. The fractal wave with fractal dimension ε=ln2/ln3 is numerically simulated. Through numerical simulation, we find that the obtained solutions are of great significance to explain some practical physical problems. Full article

The second derivative block hybrid method for the continuous integration of differential systems within the interval of integration was derived. The second derivative block hybrid method maintained the stability properties of the Runge–Kutta methods suitable for solving stiff differential systems. The lack of such stability properties makes the continuous solution not reliable, especially in solving large stiff differential systems. We derive these methods by using one intermediate off-grid point in between the familiar grid points for continuous solution within the interval of integration. The new family had a high accuracy, non-overlapping piecewise continuous solution with very low error constants and converged under the suitable conditions of stability and consistency. The results of computational experiments are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and usefulness of the methods, which also indicate that the block hybrid methods are competitive with some strong stability stiff integrators.
