Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Important scientific phenomena—for instance, the growth of bacteria, snowflakes (freezing water), and brain waves—have been accurately addressed recently using the notions of fractals. Their mathematical formulation has achieved major scientific insights. Different phenomena with a pulse, rhythm, or pattern have an opportunity to be a fractal. For example, wireless cell phone antennas are used to enhance the quality and range of signals in a fractal pattern.

This Special Issue cordially invites and welcomes review, expository, and original research articles comprising new advancements in pure and applied mathematics via fractals and fractional calculus, along with their applications across widely dispersed disciplines in the physical, natural, computational, environmental, engineering, and statistical sciences. This Special Issue also welcomes articles providing new trends in the mathematical theory of Bifurcation and Chaos control, which are insightful for significant applications, particularly in complex systems. Numerical calculations may also support the established results.

In organisms’ bodies, the activities of enzymes can be catalyzed or inhibited by some inorganic and organic compounds. The interaction between enzymes and these compounds is successfully described by mathematics. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the dynamics of the activator–inhibitor system (Gierer–Meinhardt system), which is utilized to describe the interactions of chemical and biological phenomena. The system is considered with a fractional-order derivative, which is converted to an ordinary derivative using the definition of the conformable fractional derivative. The obtained differential equations are solved using the separation of variables. The stability of the obtained positive equilibrium point of this system is analyzed and discussed. We find that this point can be locally asymptotically stable, a source, a saddle, or non-hyperbolic under certain conditions. Moreover, this article concentrates on exploring a Neimark–Sacker bifurcation and a period-doubling bifurcation. Then, we present some numerical computations to verify the obtained theoretical results. The findings of this work show that the governing system undergoes the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation and the period-doubling bifurcation under certain conditions. These types of bifurcation occur in small domains, as shown theoretically and numerically. Some 2D figures are illustrated to visualize the behavior of the solutions in some domains. Full article

In this study, we perform a dynamical analysis of a generalized tumor model using the Caputo fractional-order derivative. Tumor growth models are widely used in biomedical research to understand the dynamics of tumor development and to evaluate potential treatments. The Caputo fractional-order derivative is a mathematical tool that is recently being applied to model biological systems, including tumor growth. We present a detailed mathematical analysis of the generalized tumor model with the Caputo fractional-order derivative and examine its dynamical behavior. Our results show that the Caputo fractional-order derivative provides a more accurate description of the tumor growth dynamics compared to classical integer-order derivatives. We also provide a comprehensive stability analysis of the tumor model and show that the fractional-order derivative allows for a more nuanced understanding of the stability of the system. The least-square curve fitting method fits several biological parameters, including the fractional-order parameter α. In conclusion, our study provides new insights into the dynamics of tumor growth and highlights the potential of the Caputo fractional-order derivative as a valuable tool in biomedical research. The results of this study shall have significant implications for the development of more effective treatments for tumor growth and the design of more accurate mathematical models of tumor development.

The development of certain aspects of special polynomials in line with the monomiality principle, operational rules, and other properties and their aspects is obvious and indisputable. The study presented in this paper follows this line of research. By using the monomiality principle, new outcomes are produced, and their differential equation and series representation is obtained, which are important in several branches of mathematics and physics. Thus, in line with prior facts, our aim is to introduce the Δh hybrid special polynomials associated with Hermite polynomials denoted by ΔhHQm(u,v,w;h). Further, we obtain some well-known main properties and explicit forms satisfied by these polynomials. Full article

The qualitative theory for planar dynamical systems is used to study the bifurcation of the wave solutions for the space-fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with multiplicative white noise. Employing the first integral, we introduce some new wave solutions, assorted into periodic, solitary, and kink wave solutions. The dependence of the solutions on the initial conditions is investigated. Some solutions are clarified by the display of their 2D and 3D representations with varying levels of noise to show the influence of multiplicative white noise on the solutions. Full article

This paper explores the effects of spatial fractional derivatives and the multiplicative Wiener process on the analytical solutions for (3+1)-dimensional fractional stochastic equations for fluids with gas bubbles. We study the bifurcation of the analytical solutions and introduce new fractional stochastic solutions. We also discuss how the solutions differ depending on the initial conditions. The new solutions are notably more beneficial and impactful for understanding various, significant, and incredibly hard physical phenomena due to the significance of the modified fractional stochastic (3+1)-dimensional equations for fluids with gas bubbles and hydrodynamics. We also discuss the effects of the fractional order and the Wiener process on the obtained analytical solutions. Full article

This paper studies the influence of space-fractional and multiplicative noise on the exact solutions of the space-fractional stochastic dispersive modified Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation, driven in Ito’s sense by a multiplicative Wiener process. The bifurcation of the exact solutions is investigated, and novel fractional stochastic solutions are presented. The dependence of the solutions on the initial conditions is discussed. Due to the significance of the fractional stochastic modified Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation in describing the propagation of surface long waves in nonlinear dispersive media, the derived solutions are significantly more helpful for and influential in comprehending diverse, crucial, and challenging physical phenomena. The effect of the Wiener process and the fractional order on the exact solutions are studied. Full article

Fractals play a vital role in modeling the natural environment. The present aim is to investigate the escape criterion to generate specific fractals such as Julia sets, Mandelbrot sets and Multi-corns via F-iteration using complex functions h(z)=zn+c, h(z)=sin(zn)+c and h(z)=ezn+c, n2,cC. We observed some beautiful Julia sets, Mandelbrot sets and Multi-corns for n = 2, 3 and 4. We generalize the algorithms of the Julia set and Mandelbrot set to visualize some Julia sets, Mandelbrot sets and Multi-corns. Moreover, we calculate image generation time in seconds at different values of input parameters. Full article
