Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

For nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations, the general solution usually cannot be given explicitly. It is desirable to have an approach by which it can be determined whether a given nonlinear differential equation is Integrable. One of the powerful methods is the Lie symmetries which was created during the end of the 19th century by the prominent Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie (1842–1899) who developed the method of their applications, his interesting theory and method have been continuously been in the focus of research of many well-known mathematicians, physicists and engineers. This Special Issue of the journal Symmetry is devoted to recent development of Lie theory for solving boundary value problems as well as it is required to draw the attention to the mathematical methods used in numerical analysis, such as special functions, orthogonal polynomials and their theoretical tools, such as Lie algebra, to study the concepts and properties of some special and advanced methods, which are useful in the description of solutions of linear and nonlinear differential equations.

We have studied a class of (1+1)-dimensional equations that models phenomena with heterogeneous diffusion, advection, and reaction. We have analyzed these fourth-order partial differential equations within the framework of group methods. In this class, the diffusion coefficient is constant, while the coefficients of advection and the reaction term are assumed to depend on the unknown density u(t,x). We have identified the Lie symmetries extending the Principal Algebra along with all the conservation laws corresponding to the different forms of the coefficients, and have derived several brief applications.

Despite the existence of a secure and reliable immunization, measles, also known as rubeola, continues to be a leading cause of fatalities globally, especially in underdeveloped nations. For investigation and observation of the dynamical transmission of the disease with the influence of vaccination, we proposed a novel fractional order measles model with a constant proportional (CP) Caputo operator. We analysed the proposed model’s positivity, boundedness, well-posedness, and biological viability. Reproductive and strength numbers were also verified to examine how the illness dynamically behaves in society. For local and global stability analysis, we introduced the Lyapunov function with first and second derivatives. In order to evaluate the fractional integral operator, we used different techniques to invert the PC and CPC operators. We also used our suggested model’s fractional differential equations to derive the eigenfunctions of the CPC operator. There is a detailed discussion of additional analysis on the CPC and Hilfer generalised proportional operators. Employing the Laplace with the Adomian decomposition technique, we simulated a system of fractional differential equations numerically. Finally, numerical results and simulations were derived with the proposed measles model. The intricate and vital study of systems with symmetry is one of the many applications of contemporary fractional mathematical control. A strong tool that makes it possible to create numerical answers to a given fractional differential equation methodically is symmetry analysis. It is discovered that the proposed fractional order model provides a more realistic way of understanding the dynamics of a measles epidemic. Full article

In this manuscript, we investigate the nonlinear Boussinesq equation (BEQ) under fractal-fractional derivatives in the sense of the Caputo–Fabrizio and Atangana–Baleanu operators. We use the double modified Laplace transform (LT) method to determine the general series solution of the Boussinesq equation. We study the convergence, existence, uniqueness, boundedness, and stability of the solution of the considered good BEQ under the aforementioned derivatives. The obtained solutions are presented with numerical illustrations considering a particular example by two cases based on both derivatives with suitable initial conditions. The results are illustrated graphically where good agreements are obtained. Our results show that fractal-fractional derivatives are a very effective tool for studying nonlinear systems. Furthermore, when t increases, the solitary waves of the system oscillate. As the fractional order α or fractal dimension β increases, the soliton solutions become coherently close to the exact solution. For compactness, an error analysis is performed. The absolute error reveals an approximate linear evolution in the soliton solutions as time increases and that the system does not blow up nonlinearly. Full article
