This paper is devoted to an innovative and efficient technique for solving space–time fractional differential equations (STFPDEs). To this end, we apply the Tau method such that the bases used are interpolating scaling functions (ISFs). The operational metrics for the derivative operator and fractional integration operator are used to introduce the operational matrix for the Caputo fractional derivative. Due to some characteristics of ISFs, such as interpolation, computation costs can be significantly reduced. We investigate the convergence of the technique, and some numerical implementations show that the method is effective for solving such equations. Full article

In this article, we analysed the approximate solutions of the time-fractional Kawahara equation and modified Kawahara equation, which describe the propagation of signals in transmission lines and the formation of nonlinear water waves in the long wavelength region. An efficient technique, namely the natural transform decomposition method, is used in the present study. Fractional derivatives are considered in Caputo, Caputo–Fabrizio, and Atangana–Baleanu operative in the Caputo manner. We have presented numerical results graphically to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of derivatives with fractional order to depict the water waves in long wavelength regions. The symmetry pattern is a fundamental feature of the Kawahara equation and the symmetrical aspect of the solution can be seen from the graphical representations. The obtained outcomes of the proposed method are compared to those of other well-known numerical techniques, such as the homotopy analysis method and residual power series method. Numerical solutions converge to the exact solution of the Kawahara equations, demonstrating the significance of our proposed method. Full article

In this paper, we construct new nonstandard finite difference schemes to approximate a set of positive solutions for the predator–prey model, which contains different functional responses. The organization of the denominator of the discrete derivative and nonlocal approximations of nonlinear terms are employed to design the new schemes. The approach results in significant qualitative improvements in how the numerical solution behaves. We establish that the proposed nonstandard finite difference methods are elementary stable and satisfy the positivity requirement. In addition, the instances of applying PESN methods to some predator–prey systems using the Beddington–DeAngelis and Nicholson–Bailey functional responses are provided here. Finally, some numerical comparisons are presented to illustrate our findings. Our results indicate that the proposed methods are very suitable for the symmetric model of predator–prey. Full article

The resolution of the acceleration and jerk vectors of a particle moving on a space curve in the Euclidean 3-space is considered. By applying this resolution and Siacci’s theorem, alternative resolutions of acceleration and jerk vectors are derived based on the quasi-frame. In the osculating plane, the acceleration vector is resolved as the sum of its tangential and radial components. In addition, in the osculating and rectifying planes, the jerk vector is resolved along the tangential direction and two special radial directions. The maximum permissible speed on a space curve at all trajectory points is established via the jerk vector formula. Finally, some examples are presented to illustrate how the results work.

In this article, we investigate the nonlinear model describing the various physical and chemical phenomena named the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation. We implemented the natural decomposition method, a novel technique, mixed with the Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) and Atangana–Baleanu deriavatives in Caputo manner (ABC) fractional derivatives for obtaining the approximate analytical solution of the fractional Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation (FKS). The proposed method gives a series form solution which converges quickly towards the exact solution. To show the accuracy of the proposed method, we examine three different cases. We presented proposed method results by means of graphs and tables to ensure proposed method validity. Further, the behavior of the achieved results for the fractional order is also presented. The results we obtain by implementing the proposed method shows that our technique is extremely efficient and simple to investigate the behaviour of nonlinear models found in science and technology.

In this paper, the new iterative transform method and the homotopy perturbation transform method was used to solve fractional-order Equal-Width equations with the help of Caputo-Fabrizio. This method combines the Laplace transform with the new iterative transform method and the homotopy perturbation method. The approximate results are calculated in the series form with easily computable components. The fractional Equal-Width equations play an essential role in describe hydromagnetic waves in cold plasma. Our object is to study the nonlinear behaviour of the plasma system and highlight the critical points. The techniques are very reliable, effective, and efficient, which can solve a wide range of problems arising in engineering and sciences. Full article

The Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) is a coherent measure that evaluates the risk for different investing scenarios. On the other hand, since the extreme value distribution has been revealed to furnish better financial and economical data adjustment in contrast to the well-known normal distribution, we here employ this distribution in investigating explicit formulas for the two common risk measures, i.e., VaR and CVaR, to have better tools in risk management. The formulas are then employed under the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model for risk management as our main contribution. To confirm the theoretical discussions of this work, the daily returns of several stocks are considered and worked out. The simulation results uphold the superiority of our findings. Full article
