Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Extensive studies have been focused on fractional calculus in recent years due to its capacity to model complex phenomena more efficiently. The advantages of fractional modeling have been visualized in many engineering and scientific disciplines including biology, physics, aerodynamics, electron-analytic chemistry, ecology image processing, financial modeling, control theory for dynamical systems, disease modelling, nanotechnology, random walks, anomalous transport, anomalous diffusion, and viscoelasticity  

The fractal boundary value problems for the Fredholm and Volterra integral equations, heat conduction, and wave equations have taken much interest recently. Fractals are applied in many engineering implementations such as porous media modelling, nano fluids, fracture mechanics, and many other implementations in nanoscale. The local temperature relies on the fractal dimensions where adequate physical results can be obtained by the implementation of local fractional models and relevant solution approaches for the transport phenomena applied in fractal objects. 

We aim to combine the fractional order and fractal dimension in boundary value problems, and we would like to get new interesting solutions of the problems.  

As a result of recent enhancements in fractional and fractal calculus applications, many authors have become interested in this area. This Special Issue on “Advances in Fractional and Fractal Boundary Value Problems in Applied Sciences” is devoted to uncovering leading investigators’ recent work in the above areas of fractional and fractal calculus.

In this study, a new modification of the newly developed semi-analytical method, optimal auxiliary function method (OAFM) is used for fractional-order KdVs equations. This method is called the fractional optimal auxiliary function method (FOAFM). The time fractional derivatives are treated with Caputo sense. A rapidly convergent series solution is obtained from the FOAFM and is validated by comparing with other results. The analysis proves that our method is simplified and applicable, contains less computational work, and has fast convergence. The beauty of this method is that there is no need to assume a small parameter such as in the perturbation method. The effectiveness and accuracy of the method is proven by numerical and graphical results. Full article

This paper proposes a three–dimensional (3D) local boundary element model based on meshless moving least squares (MLS) method for ultrasonic wave propagation fractional order boundary value problems of functionally graded anisotropic (FGA) fiber-reinforced plates. The problem domain is split into several circular sub-domains. The nodal points are randomly distributed across the examined region. Each node is the focal point of a circular sub-domain that encircles it. The Laplace-transform approach is used to solve dynamic issues. In the local weak form of the governing equations for the converted quantities, a unit test function is utilized. The Gauss divergence theorem to the weak-form is used to produce local boundary-domain integral equations. A meshless approximation is achieved using the MLS method. To find time-dependent solutions, an inverse Laplace-transform approach is used. The effects of the fractional order parameter, functionally graded material, anisotropy, and the time characteristic of the laser pulse are investigated. The proposed method’s validity and performance are demonstrated for a two-dimensional problem with excellent agreement with the finite element method. Full article

The aim of this paper is to use the Nucci’s reduction method to obtain some novel exact solutions to the s-dimensional generalized nonlinear dispersive mK(m,n) equation. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first work on the study of differential equations with local derivatives using the reduction technique. This higher-dimensional equation is considered with three types of local derivatives in the temporal sense. Different types of exact solutions in five cases are reported. Furthermore, with the help of the Maple package, the solutions found in this study are verified. Finally, several interesting 3D, 2D and density plots are demonstrated to visualize the nonlinear wave structures more efficiently. Full article

Developing mathematical models of fractional order for physical phenomena and constructing numerical solutions for these models are crucial issues in mathematics, physics, and engineering. Higher order temporal fractional evolution problems (EPs) with Caputo’s derivative (CD) are numerically solved using a sextic polynomial spline technique (SPST). These equations are frequently applied in a wide variety of real-world applications, such as strain gradient elasticity, phase separation in binary mixtures, and modelling of thin beams and plates, all of which are key parts of mechanical engineering. The SPST can be used for space discretization, whereas the backward Euler formula can be used for time discretization. For the temporal discretization, the method’s convergence and stability are assessed. To show the accuracy and applicability of the proposed technique, numerical simulations are employed.

The current manuscript describes the dynamics of a fractional mathematical model of serial killing under the Mittag–Leffler kernel. Using the fixed point theory approach, we present a qualitative analysis of the problem and establish a result that ensures the existence of at least one solution. Ulam’s stability of the given model is presented by using nonlinear concepts. The iterative fractional-order Adams–Bashforth approach is being used to find the approximate solution. The suggested method is numerically simulated at various fractional orders. The simulation is carried out for various control strategies. Over time, all of the compartments demonstrate convergence and stability. Different fractional orders have produced an excellent comparison outcome, with low fractional orders achieving stability sooner. Full article

Nuclear magnetic resonance flow equations, also known as the Bloch system, are said to be at the heart of both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The main aim of this research was to solve fractional nuclear magnetic resonance flow equations (FNMRFEs) through a numerical approach that is very easy to handle. We present a New Iterative Predictor-Corrector Algorithm (NIPCA) based on the New Iterative Algorithm and Predictor-Corrector Algorithm to solve nonlinear nuclear magnetic resonance flow equations of fractional order involving Caputo derivatives. Graphical representation of the solutions with detailed error analysis shows the higher accuracy of the new technique. This New Iterative Predictor-Corrector Algorithm requires less computational time than previously published numerical methods. The results achieved in this article indicate that the algorithm is fit to use for other chaotic systems of fractional differential equations. Full article
