Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Numerical analysis is a major branch of mathematics which consists of mathematical approximation techniques and computational methods.

Numerical methods are applied in all fields of engineering, physical sciences, life sciences, social sciences, medicine, business, etc. The main interests of numerical schemes include approximation, simulation, and estimation, and they are used in virtually every scientific field.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

Numerical approaches and solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), partial differential equations (PDEs), stochastic differential equations (SDEs), delay differential equations (DDEs), and differential algebraic equations (DAEs); numerical stability; interpolation; approximation; quadrature methods; numerical linear algebra; initial and boundary conditions; numerical fractional analyses; optimization; integral equations; iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations and systems; and applications for solving real problems in science and engineering.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

In this research paper, we consider a model of the fractional Cauchy–Euler-type equation, where the fractional derivative operator is the Caputo with order 0<α<2. The problem also constitutes a class of examples of the Cauchy problem of the Bagley–Torvik equation with variable coefficients. For proving the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the given problem, the contraction mapping principle is utilized. Furthermore, a numerical method and an algorithm are developed for obtaining the approximate solution. Also, convergence analyses are studied, and simulations on some test problems are given. It is shown that the proposed method and the algorithm are easy to implement on a computer and efficient in computational time and storage. Full article

A quadratic integral Equation (QIE) of the second kind with continuous kernels is solved in the space C([0,T]×[0,T]). The existence of at least one solution to the QIE is discussed in this article. Our evidence depends on a suitable combination of the measures of the noncompactness approach and the fixed-point principle of Darbo. The quadratic integral equation can be used to derive a system of integral equations of the second kind using the quadrature method. With the aid of two different polynomials, Laguerre and Hermite, the system of integral equations is solved using the collocation method. In each numerical approach, the estimation of the error is discussed. Finally, using some examples, the accuracy and scalability of the proposed method are demonstrated along with comparisons. Mathematica 11 was used to obtain all of the results from the techniques that were shown. Full article

The efficiency of controlling the simulated moving bed (SMB) has long been a critical issue in the chemical engineering industry. Most existing research relies on finite element methods, which often result in lower control efficiency and are unable to achieve online control. To enhance control over the SMB process, this paper employs the Crank–Nicolson method to develop a discrete dynamical model. This approach allows for the investigation of system stability and convergence, fundamentally addressing the sources of error. During the discretization of partial differential equations (PDEs), two main types of errors arise: intrinsic errors from the method itself and truncation errors due to derivative approximations and the discretization process. Research indicates that for the former, the iterative process remains convergent as long as the time and spatial steps are sufficiently small. Regarding truncation errors, studies have demonstrated that they exhibit second-order behavior relative to time and spatial steps. The theoretical validation shows that the iteration works effectively, and simulations confirm that the finite difference method is stable and performs well with varying SMB system parameters and controller processes. This provides a solid theoretical foundation for practical, real-time online control. Full article

In this study, we employed the homotopy analysis transform method (HATM) to derive an iterative scheme to numerically solve a singular second-order hyperbolic pseudo-differential equation. We evaluated the effectiveness of the derived scheme in solving both linear and nonlinear equations of similar nature through a series of illustrative examples. The stability of this scheme in handling the approximate solutions of these examples was studied graphically and numerically. A comparative analysis with existing methodologies from the literature was conducted to assess the performance of the proposed approach. Our findings demonstrate that the HATM-based method offers notable efficiency, accuracy, and ease of implementation when compared to the alternative technique considered in this study. Full article

Nonlinear equations are frequently encountered in many areas of applied science and engineering, and they require efficient numerical methods to solve. To ensure quick and precise root approximation, this study presents derivative-free iterative methods for finding multiple zeros with an ideal fourth-order convergence rate. Furthermore, the study explores applications of the methods in both real-life and academic contexts. In particular, we examine the convergence of the methods by applying them to the problems, namely Van der Waals equation of state, Planck’s law of radiation, the Manning equation for isentropic supersonic flow and some academic problems. Numerical results reveal that the proposed derivative-free methods are more efficient and consistent than existing methods. Full article
