Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue Mathematics invites both original and survey manuscripts that bring together new mathematical tools and numerical methods for computational problems. Numerical analysis is a specific area of mathematics that involves designing, proving the convergence and using algorithms to map out the mathematical core of a practical problem and find its solution.

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

The possible topics of interest include the following: numerical stability, interpolation, approximation, quadrature methods, numerical linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, with initial and boundary conditions, partial differential equations, numerical fractional analysis, optimization, integral equations, iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations and systems, etc., and their applications for solving real problems in sciences and engineering.

In this article, we present a novel three-step with-memory iterative method for solving nonlinear equations. We have improved the convergence order of a well-known optimal eighth-order iterative method by converting it into a with-memory version. The Hermite interpolating polynomial is utilized to compute a self-accelerating parameter that improves the convergence order. The proposed uni-parametric with-memory iterative method improves its R-order of convergence from 8 to 8.8989. Additionally, no more function evaluations are required to achieve this improvement in convergence order. Furthermore, the efficiency index has increased from 1.6818 to 1.7272. The proposed method is shown to be more effective than some well-known existing methods, as shown by extensive numerical testing on a variety of problems. Full article

This article introduces a novel two-step fifth-order Jacobian-free iterative method aimed at efficiently solving systems of nonlinear equations. The method leverages the benefits of Jacobian-free approaches, utilizing divided differences to circumvent the computationally intensive calculation of Jacobian matrices. This adaptation significantly reduces computational overhead and simplifies the implementation process while maintaining high convergence rates. We demonstrate that this method achieves fifth-order convergence under specific parameter settings, with broad applicability across various types of nonlinear systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through a series of numerical experiments that confirm its superior performance in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency compared to existing methods.

In this paper, we propose a novel normalized time-fractional susceptible–infected–removed (SIR) model that incorporates memory effects into epidemiological dynamics. The proposed model is based on a newly developed normalized time-fractional derivative, which is similar to the well-known Caputo fractional derivative but is characterized by the property that the sum of its weight function equals one. This unity property is crucial because it helps with evaluating how the fractional order influences the behavior of time-fractional differential equations over time. The normalized time-fractional derivative, with its unity property, provides an intuitive understanding of how fractional orders influence the SIR model’s dynamics and enables systematic exploration of how changes in the fractional order affect the model’s behavior. We numerically investigate how these variations impact the epidemiological dynamics of our normalized time-fractional SIR model and highlight the role of fractional order in improving the accuracy of infectious disease predictions. The appendix provides the program code for the model. Full article

This article introduces a multistep method for developing sequences that solve Banach space-valued equations. It provides error estimates, a radius of convergence, and uniqueness results. Our approach improves the applicability of the recommended method and addresses challenges in applied science. The theoretical advancements are supported by comprehensive computational results, demonstrating the practical applicability and robustness of the earlier method. We ensure more reliable and precise solutions to Banach space-valued equations by providing computable error estimates and a clear radius of convergence for the considered method. We conclude that our work significantly improves the practical utility of multistep methods, offering a rigorous and computable approach to solving complex equations in Banach spaces, with strong theoretical and computational results.
