Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional calculus was introduced at the end of the nineteenth century by Liouville and Riemann, but the concept of non-integer calculus, as a generalization of the traditional integer-order calculus, was mentioned already in 1695 by Leibniz and L’Hospital. The subject of fractional calculus has become a rapidly growing area and has found applications in diverse fields ranging from physical sciences and engineering to biological sciences and economics. It draws applications in nonlinear oscillations of earthquakes, many physical phenomena such as seepage flow in porous media and in fluid dynamic traffic models. Fractional calculus provides a powerful tool for the description of the hereditary properties of various materials and memory processes.

This Special Issue is devoted to the analysis of Caputo-Type fractional derivatives and differential equations. Caputo-Type fractional derivatives and differential equations are a class of important topics, which are used to characterize certain evolution processes in viscoelasticity control and physics.

Topics for this Special Issue include the existence and uniqueness, stability of solutions, Ulam’s type stability, finite time stability, periodicity, averaging principle, controllability, iterative learning controls, etc., for impulsive, or delay, quaternion-valued, and evolution equations.

For this SI, we are inviting the submission of papers concerning the theory of differential equations with both ordinary, delay, quaternion-valued, and impulsive, as well as their theoretical and practical applications.

We consider a Cauchy problem for the inhomogeneous differential equation given in terms of an unbounded linear operator A and the Caputo fractional derivative of order α(0,2) in time. The previously known representation of the mild solution to such a problem does not have a conventional variation-of-constants like form, with the propagator derived from the associated homogeneous problem. Instead, it relies on the existence of two propagators with different analytical properties. This fact limits theoretical and especially numerical applicability of the existing solution representation. Here, we propose an alternative representation of the mild solution to the given problem that consolidates the solution formulas for sub-parabolic, parabolic and sub-hyperbolic equations with a positive sectorial operator A and non-zero initial data. The new representation is solely based on the propagator of the homogeneous problem and, therefore, can be considered as a more natural fractional extension of the solution to the classical parabolic Cauchy problem. By exploiting a trade-off between the regularity assumptions on the initial data in terms of the fractional powers of A and the regularity assumptions on the right-hand side in time, we show that the proposed solution formula is strongly convergent for t0 under considerably weaker assumptions compared to the standard results from the literature. Crucially, the achieved relaxation of space regularity assumptions ensures that the new solution representation is practically feasible for any α(0,2) and is amenable to the numerical evaluation using uniformly accurate quadrature-based algorithms.

Hilfer fractional stochastic differential equations with delay are discussed in this paper. Firstly, the solutions to the corresponding equations are given using the Laplace transformation and its inverse. Afterwards, the Picard iteration technique and the contradiction method are brought up to demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of understanding, respectively. Further, finite-time stability is obtained using the generalized Grönwall–Bellman inequality. As verification, an example is provided to support the theoretical results. Full article

This work investigates a weighted Banach space second order pantograph fractional differential equation. The considered equation is of second order, expressed in terms of the Caputo–Hadamard fractional operator, and constructed in a general manner to accommodate many specific situations. The asymptotic stability of the main equation’s trivial solution has been given. The primary theorem was demonstrated in a unique manner by employing the Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem. We provide a concrete example that supports the theoretical findings. Full article

In this article, by combining a recent critical point theorem and several theories of the ψ-Caputo fractional operator, the multiplicity results of at least three distinct weak solutions are obtained for a new ψ-Caputo-type fractional differential system including the generalized p-Laplacian operator. It is noted that the nonlinear functions do not need to adapt certain asymptotic conditions in the paper, but, instead, are replaced by some simple algebraic conditions. Moreover, an evaluation criterion of the equation without solutions is also provided. Finally, two examples are given to demonstrate that the ψ-Caputo fractional operator is more accurate and can adapt to deal with complex system modeling problems by changing different weight functions.

This work aims to address the P-bifurcation of a stochastic nonlinear system with fractional damping driven by Gaussian white noise. Based on a stochastic averaging method, a fractional damping stochastic nonlinear equation has been studied. Furthermore, the expressions of drift and diffusion coefficients of the Fokker–Planck equation (FPKE) have been obtained. The probability density function (PDF), the steady solution of FPKE, has also been derived. Then, PDFs of two fractional damping Morse oscillators have been obtained. One can note that the analytical results coincide with the results of numerical simulation. Importantly, stochastic P-bifurcation of a fractional damping stochastic nonlinear Morse oscillator has been further addressed and analyzed. Full article
