Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The current Special Issue invites studies related to the calculus of variations and nonlinear partial differential equations. More specifically, this Special Issue aims to develop essential tools for solving problems arising in various branches of mathematical analysis, such as variational inequality problems, nonlinear optimization problems, equilibrium problems, complementarity problems, and integral and differential equations.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers to report new initiatives and developments in the field of nonlinear analysis, calculus of variations, and partial differential equations. Original research and review articles are welcome.

A vibration analysis of a flexible follower in an oscillating follower cam system undergoing a rise-dwell-fall-dwell (RDFD) motion is performed. Owing to the time-dependent boundary effect caused by considering simultaneously the axial and the lateral displacements of the follower, two geometric constraints are formulated and added to Hamilton’s principle to establish the vibration equation of the motion of the follower. The coupled axial and lateral vibration of the flexible follower has been studied for the first time. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectrum generated from the time history is used for parametric studies. The numerical results of the present study show some new findings. The major spectral peaks for the lateral follower response locate at the low frequencies of 1 Ω, 3 Ω, 5 Ω, and 7 Ω and the high frequency near the fundamental natural frequency where Ω is the cam speed. The largest peak locates mostly at the frequency of 3 Ω. For the ascending and descending motions of the follower RDFD motion, three types of cam profiles are designed. Important new results are found: although the three cam profiles nearly overlap, the vibration results of the follower are quite different. By using a modified sinusoidal acceleration motion, the magnitude of the main lateral peak at low frequencies is minimized. The lateral peak amplitude near the fundamental natural frequency of the follower is the smallest when the cycloid displacement motion is adopted. Full article

This work presents a procedure for constructing the solution of a second order nonlinear partial differential equation subjected to nonlinear boundary conditions in a very simple and systematic way. The class of equations to be considered here includes, but is not limited to, the partial differential equations which govern the steady-state heat transfer process in bodies with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and temperature-dependent internal heat source. In addition, it will be considered a large class of nonlinear boundary conditions, especially those arising from the description of the heat exchange process from/to bodies at high temperature levels. Proofs of the solution’s existence and uniqueness are presented. Full article

This paper addresses a modified epidemic model with saturated incidence and incomplete treatment. The existence of all equilibrium points is analyzed. A reproduction number R0 is determined. Next, it is found that the non-endemic point P0 is stable in case R0<1, but unstable in case R0>1. The special conditions to analyze the local and global stability of the non-endemic and endemic points are investigated. Globally, the sensitivity analysis of the system is studied by combining the Latin Hypercube Sampling and Partial Rating Correlation Coefficients methods. By using the Pontryagins maximum principle, the optimal control problem is studied. Various numerical results are given to support our analysis. Full article

This article demonstrates how the new Double Laplace–Sumudu transform (DLST) is successfully implemented in combination with the iterative method to obtain the exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) by considering specified conditions. The solutions of nonlinear terms of these equations were determined by using the successive iterative procedure. The proposed technique has the advantage of generating exact solutions, and it is easy to apply analytically on the given problems. In addition, the theorems handling the mode properties of the DLST have been proved. To prove the usability and effectiveness of this method, examples have been given. The results show that the presented method holds promise for solving other types of NLPDEs. Full article

In this paper, the integrable (2+1)-dimensional Maccari system (MS), which can model many complex phenomena in hydrodynamics, plasma physics and nonlinear optics, is investigated by the variational approach (VA). This proposed approach that based on the variational theory and Ritz-like method can construct the explicit solutions via the stationary conditions only taking two steps. Finally, the dynamic behaviors of the solutions are exhibited by choosing the appropriate parameters through the 3-D and density plots. It can be seen that the proposed method is concise and straightforward, and can be adopted to study the travelling wave theory in physics. Full article

We study a variable end-points calculus of variations problem of Bolza containing inequality and equality constraints. The proof of the principal theorem of the paper has a direct nature since it is independent of some classical sufficiency approaches invoking the Hamiltonian-Jacobi theory, Riccati equations, fields of extremals or the theory of conjugate points. In contrast, the algorithm employed to prove the principal theorem of the article is based on elementary tools of the real analysis. Full article
