Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Differential equations (ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, stochastic differential equations, etc.) are indispensable in modeling various phenomena and processes in physics, chemical reactions, engineering, biological processes and social sciences. The main goal of this Special Issue is to channel activities and resources to develop and promote different research topics in the analysis of differential equations and its applications. Moreover, in this Special Issue we hope to interact with other topics like fractional operators and their applications in linear or nonlinear differential equations, generalized functions, and applications of harmonic analysis.

Before submission, authors should carefully read over the journal's Instructions for Authors at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/axioms/instructions. We are hopeful that the manuscripts submitted will have a high mathematical level. Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to):

  • Linear and nonlinear differential equations;
  • Fractional calculus and applications;
  • Ordinary differential equations;
  • Partial differential equations;
  • Stochastic differential equations;
  • Fuzzy differential equations;
  • Harmonic analysis and applications;
  • Applications to real-world phenomena;
  • Related topics about differential equations.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Axioms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

In this paper we consider a fractional nonlinearity for the wave equation with friction and viscoelastic damping. Using Fixed point theorem a global in time existence of small data solutions to the Cauchy problem is investigated in this research. Our main interest is to show the influence of the fractional nonlinearity parameter to the admissible range of exponent ς comparing with power nonlinearity and also the generating of loss of decay.

Abstract
An implicit time–fractal–fractional differential equation involving the Atangana’s fractal–fractional derivative in the sense of Caputo with the Mittag–Leffler law type kernel is studied. Using the Banach fixed point theorem, the well-posedness of the solution is proved. We show that the solution exhibits an [...] Read more.
An implicit time–fractal–fractional differential equation involving the Atangana’s fractal–fractional derivative in the sense of Caputo with the Mittag–Leffler law type kernel is studied. Using the Banach fixed point theorem, the well-posedness of the solution is proved. We show that the solution exhibits an exponential growth bound, and, consequently, the long-time (asymptotic) property of the solution. We also give examples to illustrate our problem. Full article

In this paper, we investigate a class of nonlinear Schrödinger systems containing a nonlinear operator under Osgood-type conditions. By employing the iterative technique, the existence conditions for entire positive radial solutions of the above problem are given under the cases where components μ and ν are bounded, μ and ν are blow-up, and one of the components is bounded, while the other is blow-up. Finally, we present two examples to verify our results. Full article

We prove a new Taylor’s theorem for generalized weighted fractional calculus with nonsingular kernels. The proof is based on the establishment of new relations for nth-weighted generalized fractional integrals and derivatives. As an application, new mean value theorems for generalized weighted fractional operators are obtained. Direct corollaries allow one to obtain the recent Taylor’s and mean value theorems for Caputo–Fabrizio, Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo (ABC) and weighted ABC derivatives. Full article
