Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the last three decades, symmetry in fractional calculus/discrete fractional calculus, dynamics and inequalities has been studied extensively. As a matter of fact, fractional derivatives and integrals provide a much better tool for the description of the memory and hereditary properties of various materials and processes than integer derivatives. Engineers and scientists have developed new precise models that involve fractional differential equations and inequalities. These models have been applied successfully, e.g., in physics, biomathematics, blood flow phenomena, ecology, environmental issues, viscoelasticity, aerodynamics, electrodynamics of complex media, electrical circuits, electroanalytical chemistry and control theory. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to establish a collection of articles that reflect the latest mathematical developments in the field of symmetry applied in fractional calculus–dynamics and inequalities with their applications.

This study examines the stability and numerical simulation of the generalized fractional-order Fisher equation. The equation serves as a mathematical model describing population dynamics under the influence of factors such as natural selection and migration. We propose an implicit exponential finite difference method to solve this equation, considering the conformable fractional derivative. Furthermore, we analyze the stability of the method through theoretical considerations. The method involves transforming the problem into systems of nonlinear equations at each time since our method is an implicit method, which is then solved by converting them into linear equations systems using the Newton method. To test the accuracy of the method, we compare the results obtained with exact solutions and with those available in the literature. Additionally, we examine the symmetry of the graphs obtained from the solution to examine the results. The findings of our numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed approach in solving the generalized fractional-order Fisher equation. Full article

Building upon previous research in conformable fractional calculus, this study introduces a novel identity. Using this identity as a foundation, we derive a set of conformable fractional Milne-type inequalities specifically designed for differentiable convex functions. The obtained results recover some existing inequalities in the literature by fixing some parameters. These novel contributions aim to enrich the analytical tools available for studying convex functions within the realm of conformable fractional calculus. The derived inequalities reflect an inherent symmetry characteristic of the Milne formula, further illustrating the balanced and harmonious mathematical structure within these frameworks. We provide a thorough example with graphical representations to support our findings, offering both numerical insights and visual confirmation of the established inequalities. Full article

The monkeypox virus causes a respiratory illness called monkeypox, which belongs to the Poxviridae virus family and the Orthopoxvirus genus. Although initially endemic in Africa, it has recently become a global threat with cases worldwide. Using the Antangana–Baleanu fractional order approach, this study aims to propose a new monkeypox transmission model that represents the interaction between the infected human and rodent populations. An iterative method and the fixed-point theorem are used to prove the existence and uniqueness of the symmetry model’s system of solutions. It shows that the symmetry model has equilibrium points when there are epidemics and no diseases. As well as the local asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium point, conditions for the endemic equilibrium point’s existence have also been demonstrated. For this purpose, the existence of optimal control is first ensured. The aim of the proposed optimal control problem is to minimize both the treatment and prevention costs, and the number of infected individuals. Optimal conditions are acquired Pontryagin’s maximum principle is used. Then, the stability of the symmetry model is discussed at monkeypox-free and endemic equilibrium points with treatment strategies to control the spread of the disease. Numerical simulations clearly show how necessary and successful the proposed combined control strategy is in preventing the disease from becoming epidemic. Full article

The class of symmetric function interacts extensively with other types of functions. One of these is the class of convex functions, which is closely related to the theory of symmetry. In this paper, we obtain some new fractional Hermite–Hadamard inequalities with an exponential kernel for subadditive functions and for their product, and some known results are recaptured. Moreover, using a new identity as an auxiliary result, we deduce several inequalities for subadditive functions pertaining to the new fractional integrals involving an exponential kernel. To validate the accuracy of our results, we offer some examples for suitable choices of subadditive functions and their graphical representations. Full article
