Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The numerical analysis of PDEs is a rich and active field of modern computational and applied mathematics. The steady growth of this field is stimulated by the ever-increasing demands of natural sciences, engineering, and economics, with the aim of providing accurate and reliable approximations to mathematical models involving PDEs, whose exact solutions are either too complicated to determine or are not known to exist. The purpose of this Special Issue is to contribute to this area by providing a collection of articles that showcase cutting-edge research in the numerical analysis of PDEs, focusing on advanced methodologies, algorithms, and applications.

Topics of interest including, but are not limited to, the following:

Advanced finite difference, finite element, spectral method, and boundary element methods for solving PDEs;
Parallel and distributed computing techniques for large-scale PDE problems;
Numerical optimization and inverse problems in PDEs;
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational electromagnetics (CEM);
Applications of PDEs in geophysics, materials science, and mathematical biology, etc.;
Software development and implementation for PDE solvers;
Fractional differential equations.

Abstract
This study investigates the fractional-order Sawada–Kotera and Rosenau–Hyman equations, which significantly model non-linear wave phenomena in various scientific fields. We employ two advanced methodologies to obtain analytical solutions: the q-homotopy Mohand transform method (q-HMTM) and the Mohand variational iteration method (MVIM). The fractional [...] Read more.
This study investigates the fractional-order Sawada–Kotera and Rosenau–Hyman equations, which significantly model non-linear wave phenomena in various scientific fields. We employ two advanced methodologies to obtain analytical solutions: the q-homotopy Mohand transform method (q-HMTM) and the Mohand variational iteration method (MVIM). The fractional derivatives in the equations are expressed using the Caputo operator, which provides a flexible framework for analyzing the dynamics of fractional systems. By leveraging these methods, we derive diverse types of solutions, including hyperbolic, trigonometric, and rational forms, illustrating the effectiveness of the techniques in addressing complex fractional models. Numerical simulations and graphical representations are provided to validate the accuracy and applicability of derived solutions. Special attention is given to the influence of the fractional parameter on behavior of the solution behavior, highlighting its role in controlling diffusion and wave propagation. The findings underscore the potential of q-HMTM and MVIM as robust tools for solving non-linear fractional differential equations. They offer insights into their practical implications in fluid dynamics, wave mechanics, and other applications governed by fractional-order models. Full article

The problem of finite-time partial component consensus (FTPCC) for first-order nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) is investigated in this paper for the first time. By incorporating the permutation matrix approach, we derive a novel error system for identical components, which facilitates stability analysis. Leveraging partial variable stability theory and related foundational knowledge, we devise two adaptable protocols. These protocols are tailored to achieve FTPCC in nonlinear MASs, one for systems without disturbances and another for those with bounded disturbances. To validate our findings, numerical examples are provided, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed results. Full article

In this paper, we study the improved block splitting (IBS) iteration method and its accelerated variant, the accelerated improved block splitting (AIBS) iteration method, for solving linear systems of equations stemming from the discretization of the complex Helmholtz equation. We conduct a comprehensive convergence analysis and derive optimal iteration parameters aimed at minimizing the spectral radius of the iteration matrix. Through numerical experiments, we validate the efficiency of both iteration methods. Full article
