Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

In recent years, fractional calculus (FC) has been shown to be more accurate for describing real processes than the ordinary calculus. FC is the natural generalization of the ordinary calculus, and fractional derivatives are defined by integrals, making them non-local. This means that the fractional time derivative simulates memory effects, and the spatial fractional derivative describes non-local spatial effects. There are several results demonstrating the remarkable advantages of fractional calculus over the ordinary calculus, e.g., the new theory of capacitors, anomalous diffusion, memory mechanisms, bioengineering, electromagnetism, fractional electrical circuits, fractional-order control, and nanotechnology, to mention a few. 

The Special Issue “Fractional Calculus: Advances and Applications” aims to collate original articles with various contributions, such as new methods for solving fractional differential equations and applications in all areas of science and engineering, such as fractional control, electromagnetic theory, bioengineering, and mechanics. Studies on fractional cosmology are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
We apply known special functions from the literature (and these include the Fox Hfunction, the exponential function, the Mittag-Leffler function, the Gauss Hypergeometric function, the Wright function, the Gfunction, the Fox–Wright function and the Meijer Gfunction) and [...] Read more.
We apply known special functions from the literature (and these include the Fox Hfunction, the exponential function, the Mittag-Leffler function, the Gauss Hypergeometric function, the Wright function, the Gfunction, the Fox–Wright function and the Meijer Gfunction) and fuzzy sets and distributions to construct a new class of control functions to consider a novel notion of stability to a fractional-order system and the qualified approximation of its solution. This new concept of stability facilitates the obtention of diverse approximations based on the various special functions that are initially chosen and also allows us to investigate maximal stability, so, as a result, enables us to obtain an optimal solution. In particular, in this paper, we use different tools and methods like the Gronwall inequality, the Laplace transform, the approximations of the Mittag-Leffler functions, delayed trigonometric matrices, the alternative fixed point method, and the variation of constants method to establish our results and theory.

The present paper considers a fractional-order smoke epidemic model. We apply fuzzy systems and probability theory to make the best decision on the stability of the smoking epidemic model by using a new class of controllers powered by special functions to effectively generalize Ulam-type stability problems. Evaluation of optimal controllability and maximal stability is the new issue. This different concept of stability not only covers the old concepts but also investigates the optimization of the problem. Finally, we apply a new optimal method for the governing model with the Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo fractional derivative to obtain stability results in Banach spaces. Full article
