Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Current widespread interest in various families of fractional-order integral and derivative operators, such as those named after Riemann–Liouville, Weyl, Hadamard, Grunwald–Letnikov, Riesz, Erdélyi–Kober, Liouville–Caputo, and so on, have stemmed essentially from their demonstrated applications in numerous diverse areas of the mathematical, physical, chemical, engineering, and statistical sciences. These fractional-order operators provide interesting and potentially useful tools for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as integral, differintegral, and integro-differential equations, the fractional-calculus analogues and extensions of each of these equations, and various other problems involving special functions of mathematical physics, applicable analysis and applied mathematics, as well as their extensions and generalizations in one, two and more variables.

In this Special Issue, we invite and welcome review, expository, and original research articles dealing with recent advances in the theory of integrals and derivatives of fractional order and their multidisciplinary applications.

Prof. Dr. Hari Mohan Srivastava
Guest Editor

In this paper, we explain the approximate controllability of Ψ-Hilfer fractional neutral differential equations with infinite delay. The outcome is demonstrated using the infinitesimal operator, fractional calculus, semigroup theory, and the Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem. To begin, we emphasise the presence of the mild solution and show that the Ψ-Hilfer fractional system is approximately controllable. Additionally, we present theoretical and practical examples.

This article addresses the issue of drive–response synchronization in fractional-order multi-link memristive neural networks (FMMNN) with multiple delays, under hybrid impulsive feedback control. To address the impact of multiple delays on system synchronization, an extended fractional-order delayed comparison principle incorporating impulses is established. By leveraging Laplace transform, Mittag–Leffler functions, the generalized comparison principle, and hybrid impulsive feedback control schemes, several new sufficient conditions are derived to ensure synchronization in the addressed FMMNN. Unlike existing studies on fractional-order single-link memristor-based systems, our response network is a multi-link model that considers impulsive effects. Notably, the impulsive gains αi are not limited to a small interval, thus expanding the application range of our approach (αi(2,0)(,2)(0,+)). This feature allows one to choose impulsive gains and corresponding impulsive intervals that are appropriate for the system environment and control requirements. The theoretical results obtained in this study contribute to expanding the relevant theoretical achievements of fractional-order neural networks incorporating memristive characteristics. Full article

Fractals represent important features of our natural environment, and therefore, several scientific fields have recently begun using fractals that employ fixed-point theory. While many researchers are working on fractals (i.e., Mandelbrot and Julia sets), only a very few have focused on multicorn sets and their dynamic nature. In this paper, we study the dynamics of multicorn sets of z¯k+cm, where k2, c0C, and mR, by using S-iteration with h-convexity instead of standard S-iteration. We develop escape criterion z¯k+cm for S-iteration with h-convexity. We analyse the dynamical behaviour of the proposed conjugate complex function and discuss the variation of iteration parameters along with function parameter m. Moreover, we discuss the effects of input parameters of the proposed iteration and conjugate complex functions of the behaviour of multicorn sets with numerical simulations. Full article

We provide streamlined criteria for evaluating the oscillatory behavior of solutions to a class of higher-order functional differential equations in the non-canonical case. We use a comparison approach with first-order equations that have standard oscillation criteria. Normally, in the non-canonical situation, the oscillation test requires three independent conditions, but we provide criteria with two-conditions without checking the additional conditions. Lastly, we give examples to highlight the significance of the findings. Full article

In this paper, we introduce and systematically analyze the classes of (pre-)(B,ρ,(tk))-piecewise continuous almost periodic functions and (pre-)(B,ρ,(tk))-piecewise continuous uniformly recurrent functions with values in complex Banach spaces. We weaken substantially, or remove completely, the assumption that the sequence (tk) of possible first kind discontinuities of the function under consideration is a Wexler sequence (in order to achieve these aims, we use certain results about Stepanov almost periodic type functions). We provide many applications in the analysis of the existence and uniqueness of almost periodic type solutions for various classes of the abstract impulsive Volterra integro-differential inclusions.

In this paper, we study a quadratic nonlinear equation from the fractional point of view. An explicit solution is given in terms of the Lambert special function. A new phenomenon appears involving the collapsing of the solution and the blow-up of the derivative. The explicit representation of the solution reveals the non-elementary nature of the solution.
