Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past century or more, nonlinear analysis has wide and significant applications in many areas of mathematics, including functional analysis, fixed point theory, nonlinear optimization, variational analysis, nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations, dynamical system theory, mathematical economics, signal processing, control theory, and so forth. Boundary value problems constitute a very important research topic in the theory of differential equations. As we all know, boundary value problems arise from the modeling of various phenomena in applied science and can be categorized as local and nonlocal, linear and nonlinear, posed and ill posed, singular and nonsingular, and free and fixed problems. 

This Special Issue will pay more attention to the new originality and applications of nonlinear analysis and boundary value problems in the real world, covering the widest range of symmetry. We cordially and earnestly invite researchers to contribute their original and high-quality research papers which will inspire advances in fixed point theory, computational analysis and their applications. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

Prof. Dr. Wei-Shih Du
Prof. Dr. Marko Kostić
Prof. Dr. Radu Precup
Prof. Dr. Adrian Petrusel

In the development of algorithms for convex optimization problems, symmetry plays a very important role in the approximation of solutions in various real-world problems. In this paper, based on a fixed point algorithm with the inertial technique, we proposed and study a new accelerated algorithm for solving a convex bilevel optimization problem for which the inner level is the sum of smooth and nonsmooth convex functions and the outer level is a minimization of a smooth and strongly convex function over the set of solutions of the inner level. Then, we prove its strong convergence theorem under some conditions. As an application, we apply our proposed algorithm as a machine learning algorithm for solving some data classification problems. We also present some numerical experiments showing that our proposed algorithm has a better performance than the five other algorithms in the literature, namely BiG-SAM, iBiG-SAM, aiBiG-SAM, miBiG-SAM and amiBiG-SAM.

The purpose of this paper is to study several fixed point problems in E-metric spaces. Mainly, we show the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for two contractive mappings, including Ćirić type contraction and α-ψ type contraction in E-metric spaces. Furthermore, we provide examples to support the accuracy of our results and present an application of our solution to a class of differential equations. Full article

In this work, we introduce the notion of a (weak) proportional Caputo fractional derivative of order α(0,1) for a continuous (locally integrable) function u:[0,)E, where E is a complex Banach space. In our definition, we do not require that the function u(·) is continuously differentiable, which enables us to consider the wellposedness of the corresponding fractional relaxation problems in a much better theoretical way. More precisely, we systematically investigate several new classes of (degenerate) fractional solution operator families connected with the use of this type of fractional derivatives, obeying the multivalued linear approach to the abstract Volterra integro-differential inclusions. The quasi-periodic properties of the proportional fractional integrals as well as the existence and uniqueness of almost periodic-type solutions for various classes of proportional Caputo fractional differential inclusions in Banach spaces are also considered.
