Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing interest in the class of fractional-order systems is motivated by their applications in various fields and has given rise to a type of equation that has not been covered in the standard mathematical literature. Fractional derivatives provide an excellent instrument for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials and processes. This is the main advantage of fractional derivatives in comparison to the classical integer-order models, in which such effects are neglected. Furthermore, the fractional differential equations are used to model complex phenomena and they play a crucial role in engineering, physics and applied mathematics. The advantages of fractional derivatives become apparent in modeling the mechanical and electrical properties of real materials. So, the effective general methods for solving systems involving fractional derivatives have a wide range of applications. Due to the fact that many real-world physical systems are well-characterized by the fractional-order state equations and real non-integer differentiators, some new theories and practical instruments are developed.

The objective of this Special Issue is to compile the recent developments in methodologies, techniques, and applications of fractional dynamical systems to explore the plethora of interesting applications of fractional-order systems in physics, chemistry, engineering, finance, and other sciences. The main aim of this Special Issue is to focus on novel results without reflecting many of the new results proposed recently in the theory of fractional-order systems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Qualitative theory of nonlinear fractional-order systems;
  • Fractional-order control systems and applications;
  • Optimization techniques for fractional-order systems;
  • Time delays and uncertainty in fractional-order systems;
  • Fractional-order models in mathematical biology;
  • Fractional-order models in networked control systems;
  • Stochastic fractional dynamical systems.

This study deals with the controllability of multi-term fractional-order stochastic systems with impulsive effects and state-dependent delay that exhibit damping behavior. Based on fractional calculus theory, the Caputo fractional derivative is utilized to analyze the controllability of fractional-order systems. Mittag–Leffler functions and Laplace transform are used to derive the solution set of the problem. Sufficient conditions for the controllability of nonlinear systems are achieved using fixed-point techniques and stochastic theory. Finally, the results stated in the paper are validated using examples. Full article

This paper presents an adaptive fixed-time fractional integral control for externally disturbed Euler–Lagrange systems. In the first step of the control design, the approach of fractional-order fixed-time integral nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (FoIFxTSM) is introduced. This scheme combines the benefits of fractional calculus with integral sliding mode control, resulting in fast convergence, smooth nonsingular control inputs, and fixed-time stability. By integrating an adaptive scheme, the proposed method is used to control the dynamical system in the presence of uncertainty and external perturbations. The findings of the fixed-time stability using Lyapunov analyses are provided for the closed-loop system. The simulation results are compared with the adaptive fractional-order sliding mode control scheme, and they show the better tracking and convergence performance of the proposed method. Full article

A mathematical model consisting of weakly coupled time fractional one parabolic PDE and one ODE equations describing dynamical processes in porous media is our physical motivation. As is often performed, by solving analytically the ODE equation, such a system is reduced to an integro-parabolic equation. We focus on the numerical reconstruction of a diffusion coefficient at finite number space-points measurements. The well-posedness of the direct problem is investigated and energy estimates of their solutions are derived. The second order in time and space finite difference approximation of the direct problem is analyzed. The approach of Lagrangian multiplier adjoint equations is utilized to compute the Fréchet derivative of the least-square cost functional. A numerical solution based on the conjugate gradient method (CGM) of the inverse problem is studied. A number of computational examples are discussed. Full article

A control scheme for finite-time stabilization of unstable orbits of the fractional difference logistic map is proposed in this paper. The presented technique is based on isolated perturbation impulses used to correct the evolution of the map’s trajectory after it deviates too far from the neighborhood of the unstable orbit, and does not require any feedback control loops. The magnitude of the control impulses is determined by means of H-rank algorithm, which helps to reveal the pseudo-manifold of non-asymptotic convergence of the fractional difference logistic map. Numerical experiments are used to illustrate the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed approach, which is applicable beyond the studied fractional difference logistic map. Full article

The extended Kawahara (Gardner Kawahara) equation is the improved form of the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, which is one of the most significant nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics. In that research, the analytical solutions of the conformable fractional extended Kawahara equation were acquired by utilizing the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method. The given expansion method was applied to different fractional forms of the extended Kawahara equation, such as the fraction that occurs in time, space, or both time and space by suitably changing the variables. In addition, various types of fractional problems are exhibited to expose the realistic application of the given method, and some of the obtained solutions were illustrated in two- or three-dimensional graphics as proof of the visualization.

A novel two-compartment model for drug release was formulated. The general fractional derivatives of a specific type and distributed order were used in the formulation. Earlier used models in pharmacokinetics with fractional derivatives follow as special cases of the model proposed here. As a first application, we used this model to study the release of gentamicin from poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/gentamicin (PVA/CHI/Gent) hydrogel aimed at wound dressing in the medical treatment of deep chronic wounds. As a second application, we studied the release of gentamicin from antibacterial biodynamic hydroxyapatite/poly(vinyl alcohol) /chitosan/gentamicin (HAP/PVA/CS/Gent) coating on a titanium substrate for bone tissue implants, which enables drug delivery directly to the infection site. In both cases. a good agreement is obtained between the measured data and the data calculated from the model proposed here. The form of the general fractional derivatives used here results in an additional parameter in the compartmental model used here. This, as a consequence, leads to a better approximation of the experimental data with only a slightly more complicated numerical procedure in obtaining the solution. Full article

Fixed point results and metric fixed point theory play a vital role to find the unique solution to differential and integral equations. Likewise, fractal calculus has vast physical applications. In this article, we introduce the concept of bipolar-controlled metric space and prove fixed point theorems. The derived results expand and extend certain well-known results from the research literature and are supported with a non-trivial example. We have applied the fixed point result to find the analytical solution to the integral equation and fractional differential equation. The analytical solution has been supplemented with numerical simulation. Full article

In this study, we propose new illustrative and effective modeling to point out the behaviors of the Hepatitis-B virus (Hepatitis-B). Not only do we consider the mathematical modeling, equilibria, stabilities, and existence–uniqueness analysis of the model, but also, we make numerical simulations by using the Adams–Bashforth numerical scheme. However, we apply the parameter estimation method to determine our model parameters and find the curve that best fits the model. Additionally, in this study, the stability analysis of the aforementioned model is considered, and also the sensitivity analysis of R0 is examined. The results point out that the order of the fractional derivative has an essential effect on the dynamical process of the constructed model for Hepatitis-B. Full article
