Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is very well known that differential and difference equations are extreme representations of complex dynamical systems.

During the last few years, the theory of fractional differentiation has been successfully applied to study anomalous social and physical behaviors, where scaling power law of fractional order appear universal as an empirical description of such complex phenomena. Recently, the difference counterpart of fractional calculus has started to be intensively used for a better characterization of some real-world phenomena. Systems of delay differential equations have started to occupy a central place of importance in various areas of science, and, particularly, in biological areas.

This Special Issue deals with the theory and application of differential and difference equations, especially in science and engineering, and will accept high-quality papers having original research results.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring mathematicians together with physicists, engineers, as well as other scientists, for whom differential and difference equations are valuable research tools.

We investigate the nonautonomous difference equation with real initial conditions and coefficients g i , i = 0 , 1 which are in general functions of n and/or the state variables x n , x n − 1 , … , and satisfy g 0 + g 1 = 1 . We also obtain some global results about the behavior of solutions of the nonautonomous non-homogeneous difference equation where g i , i = 0 , 1 , 2 are functions of n and/or the state variables x n , x n − 1 , … , with g 0 + g 1 = 1 . Our results are based on the explicit formulas for solutions. We illustrate our results by numerous examples. Full article

In this paper, we study a class of fractional nonlinear second order Volterra integro-differential type of singularly perturbed problems with fractional order. We divide the problem into two subproblems. The first subproblems is the reduced problem when ϵ = 0 . The second subproblems is fractional Volterra integro-differential problem. We use the finite difference method to solve the first problem and the reproducing kernel method to solve the second problem. In addition, we use the pade’ approximation. The results show that the proposed analytical method can achieve excellent results in predicting the solutions of such problems. Theoretical results are presented. Numerical results are presented to show the efficiency of the proposed method. Full article

We investigate global dynamics of the following second order rational difference equation x n + 1 = x n x n − 1 + α x n + β x n − 1 a x n x n − 1 + b x n − 1 , where the parameters α , β , a , b are positive real numbers and initial conditions x − 1 and x 0 are arbitrary positive real numbers. The map associated to the right-hand side of this equation is always decreasing in the second variable and can be either increasing or decreasing in the first variable depending on the corresponding parametric space. In most cases, we prove that local asymptotic stability of the unique equilibrium point implies global asymptotic stability. Full article
