Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is very well known that differential and difference equations are extreme representations of complex dynamical systems.

During the last few years, the theory of fractional differentiation has been successfully applied to the study of anomalous social and physical behaviors, where scaling power law of fractional order appears universal as an empirical description of such complex phenomena. Recently, the difference counterpart of fractional calculus has started to be intensively used for a better characterization of some real-world phenomena. Systems of delay differential equations have started to occupy a central place of importance in various areas of science, particularly in biological areas.

This Special Issue deals with the theory and application of differential and difference equations, especially in science and engineering, and will accept high-quality papers having original research results.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring mathematicians together with physicists, engineers, as well as other scientists, for whom differential and difference equations are valuable research tools.

This issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue “Advances in Differential and Difference Equations with Applications 2020”.

Let D be a relatively compact domain in an n-dimensional Kähler manifold with a C2 smooth boundary that satisfies some “Hartogs-pseudoconvexity” condition. Assume that Ξ is a positive holomorphic line bundle over X whose curvature form Θ satisfies ΘCω, where C>0. Then, the ¯-Neumann operator N and the Bergman projection P are exactly regular in the Sobolev space Wm(D,Ξ) for some m, as well as the operators ¯N, ¯N. Full article

This paper deals with two types of systems of second-order differential equations with parameters: coupled systems with the boundary conditions of the Sturm–Liouville type and classical systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We discuss an Ambosetti–Prodi alternative for each system. For the first type of system, we present sufficient conditions for the existence and non-existence of its solutions, and for the second type of system, we present sufficient conditions for the existence and non-existence of a multiplicity of its solutions. Our arguments apply the lower and upper solutions method together with the properties of the Leary–Schauder topological degree theory. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first time that the Ambrosetti–Prodi alternative has been obtained for such systems with different parameters. Full article

A generalization of the time-delayed Burgers–Fisher equation is studied. This partial differential equation appears in many physical and biological problems describing the interaction between reaction, diffusion, and convection. New travelling wave solutions are obtained. The solutions are derived in a systematic way by applying the multi-reduction method to the symmetry-invariant conservation laws. The translation-invariant conservation law yields a first integral, which is a first-order Chini equation. Under certain conditions on the coefficients of the equation, the Chini type equation obtained can be solved, yielding travelling wave solutions expressed in terms of the Lerch transcendent function. For a special case, the first integral becomes a Riccati equation, whose solutions are given in terms of Bessel functions, and for a special case of the parameters, the solutions are given in terms of exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions. Furthermore, a complete classification of the zeroth-order local conservation laws is obtained. To the best of our knowledge, our results include new solutions that have not been previously reported in the literature. Full article

Recently, Christian Cortés García proposed and studied a continuous modified Leslie–Gower model with harvesting and alternative food for predator and Holling-II functional response, and proved that the model undergoes transcritical bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation. In this paper, we dedicate ourselves to investigating the bifurcation problems of the discrete version of the model by using the Center Manifold Theorem and bifurcation theory, and obtain sufficient conditions for the occurrences of the transcritical bifurcation and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation, and the stability of the closed orbits bifurcated. Our numerical simulations not only illustrate corresponding theoretical results, but also reveal new dynamic chaos occurring, which is an essential difference between the continuous system and its corresponding discrete version.

Reaction–diffusion systems have a broad variety of applications, particularly in biology, and it is well known that fractional calculus has been successfully used with this type of system. However, analyzing these systems using discrete fractional calculus is novel and requires significant research in a diversity of disciplines. Thus, in this paper, we investigate the discrete-time fractional-order Lengyel–Epstein system as a model of the chlorite iodide malonic acid (CIMA) chemical reaction. With the help of the second order difference operator, we describe the fractional discrete model. Furthermore, using the linearization approach, we established acceptable requirements for the local asymptotic stability of the system’s unique equilibrium. Moreover, we employ a Lyapunov functional to show that when the iodide feeding rate is moderate, the constant equilibrium solution is globally asymptotically stable. Finally, numerical models are presented to validate the theoretical conclusions and demonstrate the impact of discretization and fractional-order on system dynamics. The continuous version of the fractional-order Lengyel–Epstein reaction–diffusion system is compared to the discrete-time system under consideration. Full article

In this study, the dispersal caused by the transverse Poisson’s effect in a magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) circular rod is taken into consideration using the nonlinear longitudinal wave equation (LWE), a mathematical physics problem. Using the generalized exp-function method, we investigate the families of solitary wave solutions of one-dimensional nonlinear LWE. Using the computer program Wolfram Mathematica 10, these new exact and solitary wave solutions of the LWE are derived as trigonometric function, periodic solitary wave, rational function, hyperbolic function, bright and dark solitons solutions, sinh, cosh, and sech2 function solutions of the LWE. These solutions represent the electrostatic potential and pressure for LWE as well as the graphical representation of electrostatic potential and pressure. Full article

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior and decay of the solution of the discrete in time N-dimensional heat equation. We give a convergence rate with which the solution tends to the discrete fundamental solution, and the asymptotic decay, both in Lp(RN). Furthermore, we prove optimal L2-decay of solutions. Since the technique of energy methods is not applicable, we follow the approach of estimates based on the discrete fundamental solution which is given by an original integral representation and also by MacDonald’s special functions. As a consequence, the analysis is different to the continuous in time heat equation and the calculations are rather involved. Full article

These equations are the prominent ones in the field of physics and in some other significant problems. The efficacy and authenticity of the proposed method are tested using a comparison of approximated and exact results in graphical form. Both 2D and 3D plots are provided to affirm the compatibility of approximated-exact results. The iterative Shehu transform method is a reliable and efficient tool to provide approximated and exact results to a vast class of ODEs, PDEs, and fractional PDEs in a simplified way, without any discretization or linearization, and is free of errors.

An efficient algorithm is proposed to find an approximate solution via the wavelet collocation method for the fractional Fredholm integro-differential equations (FFIDEs). To do this, we reduce the desired equation to an equivalent linear or nonlinear weakly singular Volterra–Fredholm integral equation. In order to solve this integral equation, after a brief introduction of Müntz–Legendre wavelets, and representing the fractional integral operator as a matrix, we apply the wavelet collocation method to obtain a system of nonlinear or linear algebraic equations. An a posteriori error estimate for the method is investigated. The numerical results confirm our theoretical analysis, and comparing the method with existing ones demonstrates its ability and accuracy. Full article

This work proposes a qualitative study for the fractional second-grade fluid described by a fractional operator. The classical Caputo fractional operator is used in the investigations. The exact analytical solutions of the constructed problems for the proposed model are determined by using the Laplace transform method, which particularly includes the Laplace transform of the Caputo derivative. The impact of the used fractional operator is presented; especially, the acceleration effect is noticed in the paper. The parameters’ influences are focused on the dynamics such as the Prandtl number (Pr), the Grashof numbers (Gr), and the parameter η when the fractional-order derivative is used in modeling the second-grade fluid model. Their impacts are also analyzed from a physical point of view besides mathematical calculations. The impact of the fractional parameter α is also provided. Finally, it is concluded that the graphical representations support the theoretical observations of the paper. Full article

New fractional operators have the aim of attracting nonlocal problems that display fractal behaviour; and thus fractional derivatives have applications in long-term relation description along with micro-scaled and macro-scaled phenomena. Formulated by fractional operators, the formulation of a dynamical system is used in applications for the description of systems with long-range interactions. Vector-borne illnesses are one of the world’s most serious public health issues with a large economic impact on the nations that are impacted. Population increase, urbanization, globalization, and a lack of public health infrastructure have all had a role in the introduction and reemergence of vector-borne illnesses during the last four decades. The control of these infections are important to lessen the economic burden of vector-borne diseases in infected regions. In this research work, we formulate the transmission process of Zika virus with the impact of sexual incidence rate and vaccination in terms of mathematics. We presented the fundamental theory of fractional operators Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) and Atangana–Baleanu (AB) for the analysis of the proposed system. We examine our system of Zika infection and determined the endemic indicator through a next-generation matrix technique. The uniqueness and existence of the solution has been investigated through fixed point theory. Accordingly, a numerical method has been introduced to investigate the dynamical nature of the system and make a comparison of the outcomes of the operators. The impact of different input factors has been conceptualized through dynamical behaviour of the system. We observed that lowering the index of memory, the fractional system provides accurate results about the recommended Zika dynamics and dramatically reduces infected people. It has been proved that high efficacy of a vaccine can lower the level of infection. Moreover, the impact of other parameters on the system of Zika virus infection are highlighted through numerical results. Full article

In this paper, new oscillation conditions for the 2nd-order noncanonical neutral differential equation (a0t((ut+a1tug0t))β)+a2tuβg1t=0, where tt0, are established. Using Riccati substitution and comparison with an equation of the first-order, we obtain criteria that ensure the oscillation of the studied equation.

This article introduces two well-known computational techniques for solving the time-fractional system of nonlinear equations of unsteady flow of a polytropic gas. The methods suggested are the modified forms of the variational iteration method and the homotopy perturbation method by the Elzaki transformation. Furthermore, an illustrative scheme is introduced to verify the accuracy of the available techniques. A graphical representation of the exact and derived results is presented to show the reliability of the suggested approaches. It is also shown that the findings of the current methodology are in close harmony with the exact solutions. The comparative solution analysis via graphs also represents the higher reliability and accuracy of the current techniques. Full article

We consider the orbital stability of solitary waves to the double dispersion equation uttuxx+h1uxxxxh2uttxx+f(u)xx=0,h1>0,h2>0 with combined power-type nonlinearity f(u)=a|u|pu+b|u|2pu,p>0,aR,bR,b0. The stability of solitary waves with velocity c, c2<1 is proved by means of the Grillakis, Shatah, and Strauss abstract theory and the convexity of the function d(c), related to some conservation laws. We derive explicit analytical formulas for the function d(c) and its second derivative for quadratic-cubic nonlinearity f(u)=au2+bu3 and parameters b>0, c20,min1,h1h2. As a consequence, the orbital stability of solitary waves is analyzed depending on the parameters of the problem. Well-known results are generalized in the case of a single cubic nonlinearity f(u)=bu3. Full article

The main aim of this paper is to numerically solve the first kind linear Fredholm and Volterra integral equations by using Modified Bernstein–Kantorovich operators. The unknown function in the first kind integral equation is approximated by using the Modified Bernstein–Kantorovich operators. Hence, by using discretization, the obtained linear equations are transformed into systems of algebraic linear equations. Due to the sensitivity of the solutions on the input data, significant difficulties may be encountered, leading to instabilities in the results during actualization. Consequently, to improve on the stability of the solutions which imply the accuracy of the desired results, regularization features are built into the proposed numerical approach. More stable approximations to the solutions of the Fredholm and Volterra integral equations are obtained especially when high order approximations are used by the Modified Bernstein–Kantorovich operators. Test problems are constructed to show the computational efficiency, applicability and the accuracy of the method. Furthermore, the method is also applied to second kind Volterra integral equations.

In this article, a hybrid technique, called the Iteration transform method, has been implemented to solve the fractional-order coupled Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this method, the Elzaki transform and New Iteration method are combined. The iteration transform method solutions are obtained in series form to analyze the analytical results of fractional-order coupled Korteweg-de Vries equations. To understand the analytical procedure of Iteration transform method, some numerical problems are presented for the analytical result of fractional-order coupled Korteweg-de Vries equations. It is also demonstrated that the current technique’s solutions are in good agreement with the exact results. The numerical solutions show that only a few terms are sufficient for obtaining an approximate result, which is efficient, accurate, and reliable. Full article

A delayed perturbation of the Mittag-Leffler type matrix function with logarithm is proposed. This combines the classic Mittag–Leffler type matrix function with a logarithm and delayed Mittag–Leffler type matrix function. With the help of this introduced delayed perturbation of the Mittag–Leffler type matrix function with a logarithm, we provide an explicit form for solutions to non-homogeneous Hadamard-type fractional time-delay linear differential equations. We also examine the existence, uniqueness, and Ulam–Hyers stability of Hadamard-type fractional time-delay nonlinear equations. Full article
