Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mathematics is a useful tool that explains physical phenomena, creates a working platform for engineering sciences, and establishes relationships between concepts whose definitions are known in fields such as statistics, economics, chemistry and biology. When mathematical concepts are evaluated together with the corresponding phenomena in applied sciences, a solution-oriented approach emerges by modeling and simulating real-world problems. The significance of a real mathematical concept or method is hidden in terms of the degree to which it serves this solution-oriented approach. The effectiveness of a differential or integral equation is measured by its contribution to the solution of the real-world problem it characterizes.
When considered in this context, mathematical concepts and methods emerge as indispensable elements of applied sciences that direct our lives and enable us to continue our existence in practice by suggesting solutions to our problems. Discrete fractional calculus, which has recently become a popular subject in many fields of mathematics, especially in the fields of mathematical analysis and applied mathematics, and therefore in many applied sciences such as physics, engineering sciences, mathematical biology, statistics, control theory, chaos theory, and modeling, has brought a new dimension to its solutions.
Discrete fractional calculus is a new field in applied mathematics that arises as a result of the open problem related to solving some differential equations containing discrete fractional sums. The answer to this problem has led mathematicians to new searches as a subject that many researchers have been interested in for years. Defining discrete fractional calculus and then suggesting related discrete fractional sums with various operator definitions have made it an indispensable part of applied sciences and other branches of mathematics. Discrete difference operators propose solutions that are quite suitable for real-world problems and strengthen the relationship of mathematics with other disciplines in terms of application areas.
With this Special Issue, a new perspective on applied sciences and natural phenomena will be provided from the perspective of discrete fractional sums. In light of the concepts introduced within the scope of discrete fractional calculus, we aim to deal with a wide spectrum of topics such as chaos theory, control theory, systems of equations that schematize disease models, approximation theory, computational sciences, fluid dynamics, majorization problems, numerical analysis, stability, simulations, and regularity problems. The functionality and effectiveness of this wide range of fractional analysis will be discussed and a contribution will be made to the literature in this sense. The concept of symmetry is an aesthetic structure used to explain nature and real-world problems, as well as strengthen the relations between mathematical sciences and applied sciences such as physics and engineering. Especially in fractional analysis, it emerges in the structure and applications of operators. For this reason, the concept of symmetry will be at the forefront of the works that will take place in this Special Issue.
We plan to focus on new research and future trends in mathematical sciences in this Special Issue. We invite investigators and our participants to contribute to this Special Issue with original papers describing advances, findings and future trends in the field of mathematical sciences. In accordance with this purpose, all manuscripts must be written so as to be widely accessible to all scientists.
