Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the second volume of our Special Issue on "Fractional Calculus and Mathematical Applications". Building upon the success of the first volume, we aim to continue exploring the fascinating realm of fractional calculus and its diverse applications.

Fractional calculus possesses a unique dual nature. On the one hand, it shares a long history with ordinary (integer) calculus. On the other hand, over the past four decades, it has witnessed exponential growth in its applications across various fields and diverse topics. This interdisciplinary collaboration has resulted in an ever-increasing number of researchers and publications. From biological models to integral inequalities, from systems with delay to neutrals and hybrids, fractional calculus has found its utility and effectiveness in addressing a wide range of theoretical investigations and practical problems.

Our focus extends beyond traditional integral operators of the Riemann–Liouville type. We embrace the use of differential operators such as Caputo or Riemann–Liouville and their generalizations, allowing for the incorporation of a rich variety of mathematical tools. These tools have been extensively tested and have proven effective in tackling an array of challenging problems.

As a consequence, this vibrant field continues to produce new and exciting results. These advancements involve increasingly generalized integral operators and novel types of fractional differentials, expanding the horizons of fractional calculus to unprecedented boundaries.

We cordially invite researchers from all mathematical disciplines to contribute their latest findings and insights to this Special Issue. We aim to push the boundaries of knowledge and explore the uncharted territories of fractional calculus.

In this paper, we extend the scope of the Tate and Ormerod Lemmas to the Dunkl setting, revealing a profound interconnection that intricately links the Dunkl transform and the Mellin transform. This illumination underscores the pivotal significance of the Mellin integral transform in the realm of fractional calculus associated with differential-difference operators. Our primary focus centers on the Dunkl–Laplace operator, which serves as a prototype of a differential-difference second-order operator within an unbounded domain. Following influential research by Pagnini and Runfola, we embark on an innovative exploration employing Bochner subordination approaches tailored for the fractional Dunkl Laplacian (FDL). Notably, the Mellin transform emerges as a robust and enlightening tool, particularly in its application to the FDL. Full article

Both the stretching and the shrinking cases are considered for definitions of the derivatives of the GL type and of the Hadamard type. Their properties are deduced and discussed.

Fractional variable-order systems of autoregressive–moving-average type are introduced and exemplified. The corresponding transfer functions are obtained and used to find the corresponding impulse responses. Full article

The purpose of this research is to examine the uniqueness and existence of the (ω,ρ)-BVP solution for a particular solution to a class of Hadamard fractional differential equations with impulsive boundary value requirements on Banach spaces. The notion of Banach contraction and Schaefer’s theorem are used to prove the study’s key findings. In addition, we offer the prerequisites for the set of solutions to the investigated boundary value with impulsive fractional differential issue to be convex. To enhance the comprehension and practical application of our findings, we offer two illustrative examples at the end of the paper to show how the results can be applied. Full article

The role played by explicit formulas for solving boundary value problems for elliptic equations and systems is well known. In this paper, explicit formulas for a general solution of the Dirichlet problem for second-order elliptic systems in the unit disk are given. In addition, an iterative method for solving this problem for systems with respect to two unknown functions is described, and an integral representation of the Poisson type is obtained by applying this method.

The paper focuses on exploring the existence and uniqueness of a specific solution to a class of Caputo impulsive fractional differential equations with boundary value conditions on Banach space, referred to as (ω,ρ)-BVP solution. The proof of the main results of this study involves the application of the Banach contraction mapping principle and Schaefer’s fixed point theorem. Furthermore, we provide the necessary conditions for the convexity of the set of solutions of the analyzed impulsive fractional differential boundary value problem. To enhance the comprehension and practical application of our findings, we conclude the paper by presenting two illustrative examples that demonstrate the applicability of the obtained results.
