Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The fractional order models of real systems are always more adequate than the classical integer order models, since the description of some systems is more accurate when the fractional derivative is used. The advantages of fractional differentiation have become evident in modeling the mechanical and electrical properties of real materials, description of rheological properties of rocks, and in various other fields. Such models are interesting for engineers and physicists as well as so-called pure mathematicians.

Fractional evolution equations provide a unifying framework to investigate the well-posedness of complex systems with fractional order derivatives. This Special Issue will present recent advances related to the existence, attractivity, stability, periodic solutions, and control theory for such classes of fractional evolution equations.

This article focuses on deriving the averaging principle for Hilfer fractional stochastic evolution equations (HFSEEs) driven by Lévy noise. We show that the solutions of the averaged equations converge to the corresponding solutions of the original equations, both in the sense of mean square and of probability. Our results enable us to focus on the averaged system rather than the original, more complex one. Given that the existing literature on the averaging principle for Hilfer fractional stochastic differential equations has been established in finite-dimensional spaces, the novelty here is the derivation of the averaging principle for a class of HFSEEs in Hilbert space. Furthermore, an example is allotted to illustrate the feasibility and utility of our results. Full article

This article investigates the approximate controllability of non-linear fractional stochastic differential inclusions with non-local conditions. We establish a set of sufficient conditions for their approximate controllability and provide results in terms of controllability for the fractional stochastic control system. Our approach relies on using fractional calculus and the fixed-point theorem for multiple-valued operators. Finally, we present an illustrative example to support our findings. Full article

In this article, we study the existence of a solution to the mixed hybrid fractional differential equations of sequential type with nonlocal integral hybrid boundary conditions. The main results are established with the aid of Darbo’s fixed point theorem and Hausdorff’s measure of noncompactness method. The stability of the proposed fractional differential equation is also investigated using the Ulam–Hyer technique. In addition, an applied example that supports the theoretical results reached through this study is included. Full article

Building an accurate constitutive model for soft materials is essential for better understanding its rate-dependent deformation characteristics and improving the design of soft material devices. To establish a concise constitutive model with few parameters and clear physical meaning, a variable-order fractional model is proposed to accurately describe and predict the rate-dependent mechanical behavior of soft materials. In this work, the discrete variable-order fractional operator enables the predicted stress response to be entirely consistent with the whole stress history and the fractional order’s path-dependent values. The proposed model is further implemented in a numerical form and applied to predict several typical soft materials’ tensile and compressive deformation behavior. Our research indicates that the proposed variable-order fractional constitutive model is capable of predicting the nonlinear rate-dependent mechanical behavior of soft materials with high accuracy and more convinced reliability in comparison with the existing fractional models, where the fractional order contains a constant initial order to depict the initial elastic response and a linear variable-order function to account for the strain hardening behavior after acrossing the yield point.

The main concern of this manuscript is to study the optimal control problem for Hilfer fractional neutral stochastic integrodifferential systems with infinite delay. Initially, we establish the existence of mild solutions for the Hilfer fractional stochastic integrodifferential system with infinite delay via applying fractional calculus, semigroups, stochastic analysis techniques, and the Banach fixed point theorem. In addition, we establish the existence of mild solutions of the Hilfer fractional neutral stochastic delay integrodifferential system. Further, we investigate the existence of optimal pairs for the Hilfer fractional neutral stochastic delay integrodifferential systems. We provide an illustration to clarify our results. Full article
