Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional calculus governs many phenomena that occur in nature and plays an important role in the progress of engineering and technology. Fractional differential equations describe various phenomena such as fluid flow in a porous material, anomalous diffusion transport, signal processing, control theory of dynamical systems, viscoelasticity, etc.

In the last few years, various numerical and computational methods and simulations have been developed and especially designed to handle symmetrical fractal and fractional problems, where the nonlocal properties and recursive algorithms play a fundamental role. In particular, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methods have also been established as an additional powerful technique to solve a variety of real-world issues described by non-integer dimensional order operators. Therefore, ANN-based approaches have been recently used by various researchers to solve different types of symmetrical fractional order differential equations, also under the name of physics informed neural network (PINN).

Fractional calculus has been credited as being the natural mathematical model for power–law relations. These relations are often observed as accurate descriptors for natural phenomena. This Special Issue seeks to explore potential advantages that might be gained in applying advanced numerical and computational methods, including ANN and PINN to fractional calculus and non-integer order problems.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the existence of tripled fixed point results for the tripled symmetry system of fractional hybrid delay differential equations. We obtain results which support the existence of at least one solution to our system by applying hybrid fixed point theory. Similar types of stability analysis are presented, including Ulam–Hyers, generalized Ulam–Hyers, Ulam–Hyers–Rassias, and generalized Ulam–Hyers–Rassias. The necessary stipulations for obtaining the solution to our proposed problem are established. Finally, we provide a non-trivial illustrative example to support and enhance our analysis. Full article

In this paper, a variety of boundary value problems (BVPs) known as hybrid fractional sequential integro-differential equations (HFSIDs) with two point orders (p,q) are investigated. The uniqueness and existence of the solution are discussed via Banach fixed-point theorems. Certain particular theorems associated with Hyers–Ulam and Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability to the solution, as well as the uniqueness and existence of the solution of the BVPs are studied. The results are illustrated with some particular examples, and the numerical data are analyzed for confirmation of the results. The results obtained in this work are simple and can easily be applicable to physical systems. Furthermore, symmetry analysis of fractional differential equations and HFSIDs are also presented. This is due to the fact that the aforementioned analysis plays a significant role in both the optimization and qualitative theory of fractional differential equations. Full article

The aim of this paper is to derive some new generalized fractional analogues of Mercer type inequalities, essentially using the convexity property of the functions and Raina’s function. We also discuss several new special cases which show that our results are, to an extent, unifying. In order to illustrate the significance of our results, we offer some interesting applications of our results to special means, error bounds, and q-digamma functions. Full article

This article explores the application of the reduced differential transform method (RDTM) for the computational solutions of two fractional-order cancer tumor models in the Caputo sense: the model based on cancer chemotherapeutic effects which explain the relation between chemotherapeutic drugs, tumor cells, normal cells, and immune cells using a fractional partial differential equations, and the model that describes the different cases of killing rate K of cancer cells (the killing percentage of cancer cells K (I) is dependent on the number of cells, (II) is a function of time only, and (III) is a function of space only). The solutions are presented using Mathematica software as a convergent power series with elegantly computed terms using the suggested technique. The proposed method gives new series form results for various values of gamma. To clarify the complexity of the models, we plot the two- and three-dimensional and contour graphics of the obtained solutions at varied values of fractional-order gamma and the selected system parameters. The solutions are analyzed with fractional and reduced differential transform methods to obtain an idea of invariance regarding the computed solution of the designed mathematical model. The obtained results demonstrate the efficiency and preciseness of the proposed method to achieve a better understanding of chemotherapy effects. It is observed that chemotherapy drugs boost immunity against the specific cancer by decreasing the number of tumor cells, and the killing rate K of cancerous cells depend on the cells concentration.

The forthcoming property of this manuscript is its calculating of the goal of norms and lower bounds of matrix operators taken from the weighted sequence space p(w) onto a novel one defined in the present article as the generalized Fibonacci weighted difference sequence space. In this process, first of all the Fibonacci difference matrix F˜(r,s) and the space composed of sequences of which F˜(r,s)-transforms lie in p(w˜), where r,sR are defined. Additionaly, since the seminormed space p(w˜,F˜(r,s)) has the absolute homogeneous property, the topological characteristics on it are distributed symmetrically everywhere in the space. Full article

This paper aims to obtain the bounds of a class of integral operators containing Mittag–Leffler functions in their kernels. A recently defined unified Mittag–Leffler function plays a vital role in connecting the results of this paper with the well-known bounds of fractional integral operators published in the recent past. The symmetry of a function about a line is a fascinating property that plays an important role in mathematical inequalities. A variant of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality is established using the closely symmetric property for (α,m)-convex functions. Full article

The fractional calculus of special functions has significant importance and applications in various fields of science and engineering. Here, we aim to find the fractional integral and differential formulas of the extended hypergeometric-type functions by using the Marichev–Saigo–Maeda operators. All the outcomes presented here are of general attractiveness and can yield a number of previous works as special cases due to the high degree of symmetry of the involved functions. Full article
