Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinearity occurs in all complex real-life phenomena. The construction and investigation of nonlinear mathematical models that arise in physics, bio-engineering, optics, fluid dynamics and other fields of science and engineering is necessary to understand the physical framework of the related real-life phenomena. Recently, fractional order models have become popular, due to their memory and hereditary properties, which classic integer order models have failed to offer. However, this requires the development and application of robust and effective techniques to solve nonlinear fractional order mathematical problems.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring forward the development and applications of innovative mathematical techniques and novel results to provide a deeper insight into complex mechanisms that involve nonlinear fractional order evolution equations. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Solutions of initial and boundary value problems using spline techniques;
  • Analytical and semi-analytical methods for solving fractional evolution models;
  • Development of nonlinear fractional order models;
  • Fractional effects of and solutions to fluid flow problems;
  • Optical solutions for fractional order optical systems;
  • Dynamical behavior of fractional order models in plasma theory;
  • Fractional evolution equations in bio-engineering;
  • Fractional effects on solitary wave dynamics;
  • Mathematical techniques to solve nonlinear fractional order systems of equations;
  • Numerical simulations for fractional order nonlinear evolution equations;
  • Approximate solution methods;
  • Fractional Bezier models;

The second order Burger’s equation model is used to study the turbulent fluids, suspensions, shock waves, and the propagation of shallow water waves. In the present research, we investigate a numerical solution to the time fractional coupled-Burgers equation (TFCBE) using Crank–Nicolson and the cubic B-spline (CBS) approaches. The time derivative is addressed using Caputo’s formula, while the CBS technique with the help of a θ-weighted scheme is utilized to discretize the first- and second-order spatial derivatives. The quasi-linearization technique is used to linearize the non-linear terms. The suggested scheme demonstrates unconditionally stable. Some numerical tests are utilized to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of the current technique. Full article

In this work, we modified a dynamical system that addresses COVID-19 infection under a fractal-fractional-order derivative. The model investigates the psychological effects of the disease on humans. We establish global and local stability results for the model under the aforementioned derivative. Additionally, we compute the fundamental reproduction number, which helps predict the transmission of the disease in the community. Using the Carlos Castillo-Chavez method, we derive some adequate results about the bifurcation analysis of the proposed model. We also investigate sensitivity analysis to the given model using the criteria of Chitnis and his co-authors. Furthermore, we formulate the characterization of optimal control strategies by utilizing Pontryagin’s maximum principle. We simulate the model for different fractal-fractional orders subject to various parameter values using Adam Bashforth’s numerical method. All numerical findings are presented graphically.

We present a new numerical approach to solving the fractional differential Riccati equations numerically. The approach—called the Mittag-Leffler–Galerkin method—comprises the finite Mittag-Leffler function and the Galerkin method. The error analysis of the method was studied. As a result, we present two theorems by which the error can be bounded. In addition to error analysis, the residual correction method, which allows us to estimate the error and obtain new approximate solutions, is also presented. To show how the method is applied, and the efficiency of the proposed method, some test examples were considered. When the numerical results obtained were examined, it was found that while the method achieves better results than some of the known methods in the literature, it also achieves results that are similar to those of others of the known methods.

The two-dimensional Maccari nonlinear system performs the energy and wave dynamical features in fiber communications and modern physical science as hydrodynamic and space plasma. Several new forms of solutions for the Maccari’s model are constructed by a unified solver method that mainly depends on He’s variations method. The obtained solutions identify new wave stochastic structures with important features in energy physics such as rational explosive, breather, dispersive, explosive dissipated, dark solitons and blow-up (shock structure). It was elucidated that the random effects amend the energy wave strength or the collapsing due to model medium turbulence. Finally, the produced stochastic structures may be vital in some of these relationships between dispersions, nonlinearity and dissipative effects. The predominant energy waves that are collapsing or being forced may be applied to electrostatic auroral Langmuir structures and energy-generating ocean waves. Full article

The generalized Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii–Schiff equation (GCBSE) is examined and analyzed in this paper. It has several applications in plasma physics and soliton theory, where it forecasts the soliton wave propagation profiles. In order to obtain the analytically exact solitons, the model under consideration is a nonlinear partial differential equation that is turned into an ordinary differential equation by using the next traveling wave transformation. The new extended direct algebraic technique and the modified auxiliary equation method are applied to the generalized Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii–Schiff equation to get new solitary wave profiles. As a result, novel and generalized analytical wave solutions are acquired in which singular solutions, mixed singular solutions, mixed complex solitary shock solutions, mixed shock singular solutions, mixed periodic solutions, mixed trigonometric solutions, mixed hyperbolic solutions, and periodic solutions are included with numerous soliton families. The propagation of the acquired soliton solution is graphically presented in contour, two- and three-dimensional visualization by selecting appropriate parametric values. It is graphically demonstrated how wave number impacts the obtained traveling wave structures. Full article

In this article, we investigate novel optical solitons solutions for the Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel (LPD) equation, along with group velocity dispersion and spatio-temporal dispersion, via three altered analytical techniques. A variety of bright, singular, dark, periodic singular, and kink solitons solutions are constructed via the Kudryashov method, the generalized tanh method and the Sardar-subequation method. The dynamical behavior of the extracted solutions is demonstrated in graphical form such as 3D plots, 2D plots, and contour plots. The originality of the obtained solutions is recognized by comparison with each other and solutions previously stated in the literature for the LPD model, which displays the efficiency of the methods under consideration.

The solution of partial differential equations has generally been one of the most-vital mathematical tools for describing physical phenomena in the different scientific disciplines. The previous studies performed with the classical derivative on this model cannot express the propagating behavior at heavy infinite tails. In order to address this problem, this study addressed the fractional regularized long-wave Burgers problem by using two different fractional operators, Beta and M-truncated, which are capable of predicting the behavior where the classical derivative is unable to show dynamical characteristics. This fractional equation is first transformed into an ordinary differential equation using the fractional traveling wave transformation. A new auxiliary equation approach was employed in order to discover new soliton solutions. As a result, bright, periodic, singular, mixed periodic, rational, combined dark–bright, and dark soliton solutions were found based on the constraint relation imposed on the auxiliary equation parameters. The graphical visualization of the obtained results is displayed by taking the suitable parametric values and predicting that the fractional order parameter is responsible for controlling the behavior of propagating solitary waves and also providing the comparison between fractional operators and the classical derivative. We are confident about the vital applications of this study in many scientific fields. Full article

The motive of the study was to explore the nonlinear Riemann wave equation, which describes the tsunami and tidal waves in the sea and homogeneous and stationary media. This study establishes the framework for the analytical solutions to the Riemann wave equation using the new extended direct algebraic method. As a result, the soliton patterns of the Riemann wave equation have been successfully illustrated, with exact solutions offered by the plane solution, trigonometry solution, mixed hyperbolic solution, mixed periodic and periodic solutions, shock solution, mixed singular solution, mixed trigonometric solution, mixed shock single solution, complex soliton shock solution, singular solution, and shock wave solutions. Graphical visualization is provided of the results with suitable values of the involved parameters by Mathematica. It was visualized that the velocity of the soliton and the wave number controls the behavior of the soliton. We are confident that our research will assist physicists in predicting new notions in mathematical physics. Full article

This work discusses the soliton solutions for the fractional complex Ginzburg–Landau equation in Kerr law media. It is a particularly fascinating model in this context as it is a dissipative variant of the Hamiltonian nonlinear Schrödinger equation with solutions that create localized singularities in finite time. The ϕ6-model technique is one of the generalized methodologies exerted on the fractional complex Ginzburg–Landau equation to find the new solitary wave profiles. As a result, solitonic wave patterns develop, including Jacobi elliptic function, periodic, dark, bright, single, dark-bright, exponential, trigonometric, and rational solitonic structures, among others. The assurance of the practicality of the solitary wave results is provided by the constraint condition corresponding to each achieved solution. The graphical 3D and contour depiction of the attained outcomes is shown to define the pulse propagation behaviors while imagining the pertinent data for the involved parameters. The sensitive analysis predicts the dependence of the considered model on initial conditions. It is a reliable and efficient technique used to generate generalized solitonic wave profiles with diverse soliton families. Furthermore, we ensure that all results are innovative and mark remarkable impacts on the prevailing solitary wave theory literature. Full article
