Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, fractional differential equations have been extensively used in mathematical models of interesting and important phenomena observed in science and technology. In recent decades, many powerful methods to construct exact and numerical solutions of fractional differential equations have been established and developed, which has led to one of the most exciting advances of nonlinear science and theoretical physics. These relatively new methods proved to be fully synchronized with the complexities of the physical problems. The investigation of exact solutions for nonlinear evolution equations also plays an important role in the study of nonlinear physical phenomena.

This Special Issue aims to combine contributions across a variety of exact, analytical, and numerical solutions of fractional differential equations and invite authors to submit original research and/or domain reviews in various methods. This issue will become an international forum for researchers to present the most recent research and ideas about fractional differential equations using different methods. Original research that reflects the recent theoretical advances and experimental results as well as new topics are invited on all aspects of object tracking.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • New definitions and theories in fractional calculus.
  • Fractional mathematical models in applied mathematics.
  • Fractional differential/integral equations.
  • Exact solutions of fractional differential equations.
  • Numerical methods for fractional differential equations.
  • Existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions.
  • Analysis of convergence and stability.
  • Applications to science and engineering.
  • Further equations in physics and applied mathematics.

The aim of this study is to utilize a differential quadrature method with various kernels, such as Lagrange interpolation and discrete singular convolution, to tackle problems related to the Riesz fractional diffusion equation and the Riesz fractional advection–dispersion equation. The governing equation for convection and diffusion depends on both spatial and transient factors. By using the block marching technique, we transform these equations into an algebraic system using differential quadrature methods and the Caputo-type fractional operator. Next, we develop a MATLAB program that generates code capable of solving the fractional convection–diffusion equation in (1+2) dimensions for each shape function. Our goal is to ensure that our methods are reliable, accurate, efficient, and capable of convergence. To achieve this, we conduct two experiments, comparing the numerical and graphical results with both analytical and numerical solutions. Additionally, we evaluate the accuracy of our findings using the L error. Our tests show that the differential quadrature method, which relies mainly on the discrete singular convolution shape function, is a highly effective numerical approach for fractional convective diffusion problems. It offers superior accuracy, faster convergence, and greater reliability than other techniques. Furthermore, we study the impact of fractional order derivatives, velocity, and positive diffusion parameters on the results. Full article

In this article, the numerical adaptive predictor corrector (Apc-ABM) method is presented to solve generalized Caputo fractional initial value problems. The Apc-ABM method was utilized to establish approximate series solutions. The presented technique is considered to be an extension to the original Adams–Bashforth–Moulton approach. Numerical simulations and figures are presented and discussed, in order to show the efficiency of the proposed method. In the future, we anticipate that the provided generalized Caputo fractional derivative and the suggested method will be utilized to create and simulate a wide variety of generalized Caputo-type fractional models. We have included examples to demonstrate the accuracy of the present method. Full article

In this study, we take into account the fractional stochastic Kraenkel–Manna–Merle system (FSKMMS). The mapping approach may be used to produce various type of stochastic fractional solutions, such as elliptic, hyperbolic, and trigonometric functions. Solutions to the Kraenkel–Manna–Merle system equation, which explains the propagation of a magnetic field in a zero-conductivity ferromagnet, may provide insight into a variety of fascinating scientific phenomena. Moreover, we construct a variety of 3D and 2D graphics in MATLAB to illustrate the influence of the stochastic term and the conformable derivative on the exact solutions of the FSKMMS. Full article
