Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The importance of initial and boundary value problems of different kinds of differential equations (ordinary, functional, fractional, partial, difference, stochastic, integral, etc.) is well recognized in view of their extensive applications in applied sciences and engineering.

Single-valued and multi-valued initial and boundary value problems involving different kinds of boundary conditions have attracted significant attention during the last few decades. The literature on this topic is now much enriched and contains a variety of results ranging from the existence theory to the methods of solution for such problems. The techniques of functional analysis and fixed-point theory play a key role in proving the existence and uniqueness of solutions to these problems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to strengthen the available literature on the topic by publishing research and review articles on initial and boundary value problems of differential equations and inclusions in a broader sense.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

Existence, uniqueness, and multiplicity results for initial and boundary value problems for differential equations and inclusions (ordinary, functional, fractional, partial, difference, stochastic, integral, etc.)

In this paper, the nonlinear version of the Henry–Gronwall integral inequality with the tempered Ψ-Hilfer fractional integral is proved. The particular cases, including the linear one and the nonlinear integral inequality of this type with multiple tempered Ψ-Hilfer fractional integrals, are presented as corollaries. To illustrate the results, the problem of the nonexistence of blowing-up solutions of initial value problems for fractional differential equations with tempered Ψ-Caputo fractional derivative of order 0<α<1, where the right side may depend on time, the solution, or its tempered Ψ-Caputo fractional derivative of lower order, is investigated. As another application of the integral inequalities, sufficient conditions for the Ψ-exponential stability of trivial solutions are proven for these kinds of differential equations. Full article

In this investigation, weighted psi-Caputo fractional derivatives are applied to analyze the solution of fractional pantograph problems with boundary conditions. We establish the existence of solutions to the indicated pantograph equations as well as their uniqueness. The study also takes into account the situation where ψ(x)=x. With the aid of Banach’s and Krasnoselskii’s classic fixed point results, we have established a the qualitative study. Different values of ψ(x) and w(x) are discussed as special cases that are relevant to our current results. Additionally, in light of our findings, we provide a more general fractional system with the weighted ψ-Caputo-type that takes into account both the new problems and certain previously existing, related problems. Finally, we give two illustrations to support and validate the outcomes. Full article

In this paper, we studied the Hölder regularities of solutions to an abstract fractional differential equation, which is regarded as an abstract version of fractional Rayleigh–Stokes problems, rising up to describing a non-Newtonian fluid with a Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. The purpose of this article was to establish the Hölder regularities of mild solutions, classical solutions, and strict solutions. We introduced an interpolation space in terms of an analytic resolvent to lower the spatial regularity of initial value data. By virtue of the properties of analytic resolvent and the interpolation space, the Hölder regularities were obtained. As applications, the main conclusions were applied to the regularities of fractional Rayleigh–Stokes problems. Full article

In this study, we investigate the existence of mild solutions for a class of Hilfer fractional stochastic evolution equations with order μ(1,2) and type ν[0,1]. We prove the existence of mild solutions of Hilfer fractional stochastic evolution equations when the semigroup is compact as well as noncompact. Our approach is based on the Schauder fixed point theorem, the Ascoli–Arzelà theorem and the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness. An example is also provided, to demonstrate the efficacy of this method. Full article

In order to show novel generalizations of mathematical inequality, fractional integral operators are frequently used. Fractional operators are used to simulate a broad range of scientific as well as engineering phenomena such as elasticity, viscous fluid, fracture mechanics, continuous population, equilibrium, visco-elastic deformation, heat conduction problems, and others. In this manuscript, we introduce some novel notions of generalized preinvexity, namely the (m,tgs)-type s-preinvex function, Godunova–Levin (s,m)-preinvex of the 1st and 2nd kind, and a prequasi m-invex. Furthermore, we explore a new variant of the Hermite–Hadamard (H–H), Fejér, and Pachpatte-type inequality via a generalized fractional integral operator, namely, a non-conformable fractional integral operator (NCFIO). In addition, we explore new equalities. With the help of these equalities, we examine and present several extensions of H–H and Fejér-type inequalities involving a newly introduced concept via NCFIO. Finally, we explore some special means as applications in the aspects of NCFIO. The results and the unique situations offered by this research are novel and significant improvements over previously published findings. Full article

Contrary to the initial-value problem for ordinary differential equations, where the classical theory of establishing the exact unique solvability conditions exists, the situation with the initial-value problem for linear functional differential equations of the fractional order is usually non-trivial. Here we establish the unique solvability conditions for the initial-value problem for linear functional differential equations of the fractional order. The advantage is the lack of the calculation of fractional derivatives, which is a complicated task. The unique solution is represented by the Neumann series. In addition, as examples, the model with a discrete memory effect and a pantograph-type model from electrodynamics are studied. Full article

In the present work, we address a nonlinear boundary value problem that models frictional contact with prescribed normal stress between a deformable body and a foundation. The body is nonlinearly elastic, the constitutive law being a subdifferential inclusion. We deliver a three-field variational formulation by means of a new variational approach governed by the theory of bipotentials combined with a Lagrange-multipliers technique. In this new approach, the unknown of the mechanical model is a triple consisting of the displacement field, a Lagrange multiplier related to the friction force and the Cauchy stress tensor. We obtain existence, uniqueness, boundedness and convergence results. Full article

The current paper intends to report the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for nonlinear pantograph Caputo–Hadamard fractional differential equations. As part of a procedure, we transform the specified pantograph fractional differential equation into an equivalent integral equation. We show that this equation has a positive solution by utilising the Schauder fixed point theorem (SFPT) and the upper and lower solutions method. Another method for proving the existence of a singular positive solution is the Banach fixed point theorem (BFPT). Finally, we provide an example that illustrates and explains our conclusions.

A Hermite fitted block integrator (HFBI) for numerically solving second-order anisotropic elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) was developed, analyzed, and implemented in this study. The method was derived through collocation and interpolation techniques using the Hermite polynomial as the basis function. The Hermite polynomial was interpolated at the first two successive points, while the collocation occurred at all the suitably chosen points. The major scheme and its complementary scheme were united together to form the HFBI. The analysis of the HFBI showed that it had a convergence order of eight with small error constants, was zero-stable, absolutely-stable, and satisfied the condition for convergence. In order to confirm the usefulness, accuracy, and efficiency of the HFBI, the method of lines approach was applied to discretize the second-order anisotropic elliptic partial differential equation PDE into a system of second-order ODEs and consequently used the derived HFBI to obtain the approximate solutions for the PDEs. The computed solution generated by using the HFBI was compared to the exact solutions of the problems and other existing methods in the literature. The proposed method compared favorably with other existing methods, which were validated through test problems whose solutions are presented in tabular form, and the comparisons are illustrated in the curves.

Moreover, two specific examples to indicate the validity of our results are also given. Eventually, the generalized forms of Jungck fixed point theorem in the above spaces is investigated. Different from related literature, the conditions that the function F needs to satisfy are weakened, and F only needs to be non-decreasing in this paper. To some extent, our conclusions and methods improve the results of previous literature. Full article
