Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Differential equations, both partial (PDE) and ordinary (ODE), give key tools in understanding the mechanisms of physical systems and solving various problems of nonlinear phenomena. In particular, we mention diffusive processes, such as in problems in elasticity theory and in the study of porous media.

Abstract inequalities and functional equations are recognized as basic ingredients to carry out pure mathematics research (for example, in mathematical analysis and differential geometry) and applied mathematics research (for example, in mathematical physics and numerical analysis).

The above main fields are strongly related to each other. Indeed, the qualitative study of differential equations provides the appropriate framework setting to develop new inequalities and to consider different types of equations. On the other hand, these inequalities and equations are used to obtain useful estimates and bounds of terms in specific differential equations but also in characterizing the solutions' set.

There is a large and very active community of scientists working on these topics and focusing on their applications in dynamical programming, biology, information theory, statistics, physics, and engineering processes.

This Special Issue will collect ideas and significant contributions to the theories and applications of analytic inequalities, functional equations and differential equations. We welcome both original research articles and articles discussing the current state of the art.

This work studies an inhomogeneous generalized Hartree equation with inverse square potential. The purpose is to prove the existence and strong instability of inter-critical standing waves. This means that there are infinitely many data near to the ground state, such that the associated solution blows-up in finite time. The proof combines a variational analysis with the standard variance identity. The challenge is to deal with three difficulties: the singular potential |x|2, an inhomogeneous term |x|λ, and a non-local source term. Full article

In the present work, we introduce two new local fractional integral operators involving Mittag–Leffler kernel on Yang’s fractal sets. Then, we study the related generalized Hermite–Hadamard-type inequality using generalized (E,h)-convexity and obtain two identities pertaining to these operators, and the respective first- and second-order derivatives are given. In terms of applications, we provide some new generalized trapezoid-type inequalities for generalized (E,h)-convex functions. Finally, some special cases are deduced for different values of δ, E, and h. Full article

In this article, we present the fuzzy Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and fuzzy modified Laplace decomposition method (MLDM) to obtain the solutions of fuzzy fractional Navier–Stokes equations in a tube under fuzzy fractional derivatives. We have looked at the turbulent flow of a viscous fluid in a tube, where the velocity field is a function of only one spatial coordinate, in addition to time being one of the dependent variables. Furthermore, we investigate the fuzzy Elzaki transform, and the fuzzy Elzaki decomposition method (EDM) applied to solving fuzzy linear-nonlinear Schrodinger differential equations. The proposed method worked perfectly without any need for linearization or discretization. Finally, we compared the fuzzy reduced differential transform method (RDTM) and fuzzy homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to solving fuzzy heat-like and wave-like equations with variable coefficients. The RDTM and HPM solutions are simpler than other already existing methods. Several examples are provided to illustrate the methods that have been offered. The results obtained using the scheme presented here agree well with the analytical solutions and the numerical results presented elsewhere. These studies are important in the context of the development of the theory of fuzzy partial differential equations. Full article

Let (Fn)n=1 be the classical Fibonacci sequence. It is well known that the limFn+1/Fn exists and equals the Golden Mean. If, more generally, (Fn)n=1 is an order-k linear recurrence with real constant coefficients, i.e., Fn=j=1kλk+1jFnj with n>k, λjR, j=1,,k, then the existence of the limit of ratios of consecutive terms may fail. In this paper, we show that the limit exists if the first k elements F1,F2,,Fk of (Fn)n=1 are positive, λ1,,λk1 are all nonnegative, at least one being positive, and max(λ1,,λk)=λkk. The limit is characterized as fixed point, bounded below by λk and bounded above by λ1+λ2++λk. Full article

The aim of this paper is to investigate the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a bi-non-local problem. Precisely, we show that the above problem admits at least a non-trivial positive energy solution by using the mountain pass theorem. Furthermore, with the help of the fountain theorem, we obtain the existence of infinitely many positive energy solutions, assuming a symmetric condition for g. The main feature and difficulty of this paper is the presence of a double non-local term involving two variable parameters. Full article

We study a nonlocal Dirichlet problem with the (p(b(u)),q(b(u)))-Laplacian operator and integrable data on a bounded domain with smooth boundary. We establish the existence of at least one weak solution in the case the variable exponents of the leading operator depend on the solution u, without assuming any growth conditions on g. The proof is based on the characterization of the energy functional associated to the problem, using the methods of the calculus of variations. Full article

Iterative algorithms have been utilized for the computation of approximate solutions of stationary and evolutionary problems associated with differential equations. The aim of this article is to introduce concepts of monotone Reich and Chatterjea nonexpansive mappings on partially ordered Banach spaces. We describe sufficient conditions for the existence of an approximate fixed-point sequence (AFPS) and prove certain fixed-point results using the Krasnoselskii–Ishikawa iterative algorithm. Moreover, we present some interesting examples to highlight the superiority of our results. Lastly, we provide both weak and strong convergence results for such mappings and consider an application of our results to prove the existence of a solution to an initial value problem. Full article
