Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional calculus has a rich history in the modelling of nonlinear problems in physics and engineering. Formally, the apparatus of fractional calculus includes a variety of fractional-order differintegral operators, such as the ones named after Riemann, Liouville, Weyl, Caputo, Riesz, Erdelyi, Kober, etc., which give rise to a variety of special functions. Beyond this, some new trends in modelling involve integral operators with nonsingular kernels, as well as operators defined on fractal sets. These were proposed to model dissipative phenomena that cannot be adequately modelled by classical operators. This Special Issue addresses contemporary modeling problems in science and engineering involving fractional differential operators with classical and new memory kernels. This is a call to authors involved in modeling with new and classical fractional differential operators to share their results in fractional modelling theory and applications. We will cover a broad range of applied topics and multidisciplinary applications of fractional-order differential operators with classical and new kernels in science and engineering.

In the present research, we consider a biological model of serum hepatitis disease. We carry out a detailed analysis of the mentioned model along with a class with asymptomatic carriers to explore its theoretical and numerical aspects. We initiate the study by using the piecewise fractal–fractional derivative (FFD) by which the crossover effects within the model are examined. We split the time interval into subintervals. In one subinterval, FFD with a power law kernel is taken, while in the second one, FFD with an exponential decay kernel of the proposed model is considered. This model is then studied for its disease-free equilibrium point, existence, and Hyers–Ulam (H-U) stability results. For numerical results of the model and a visual presentation, we apply the Lagrange interpolation method and an extended Adams–Bashforth–Moulton (ABM) method, respectively. Full article

The two-parameter Wright special function is an interesting mathematical object that arises in the theory of the space and time-fractional diffusion equations. Moreover, many other special functions are particular instantiations of the Wright function. The article demonstrates finite representations of the Wright function in terms of sums of generalized hypergeometric functions, which in turn provide connections with the theory of the Gaussian, Airy, Bessel, and Error functions, etc. The main application of the presented results is envisioned in computer algebra for testing numerical algorithms for the evaluation of the Wright function.

This work presents a highly accurate method for the numerical solution of the advection–diffusion equation of fractional order. In our proposed method, we apply the Laplace transform to handle the time-fractional derivative and utilize the Chebyshev spectral collocation method for spatial discretization. The primary motivation for using the Laplace transform is its ability to avoid the classical time-stepping scheme and overcome the adverse effects of time steps on numerical accuracy and stability. Our method comprises three primary steps: (i) reducing the time-dependent equation to a time-independent equation via the Laplace transform, (ii) employing the Chebyshev spectral collocation method to approximate the solution of the transformed equation, and (iii) numerically inverting the Laplace transform. We discuss the convergence and stability of the method and assess its accuracy and efficiency by solving various problems in two dimensions. Full article

In this article, we examine the Kraenkel–Manna–Merle system (KMMS) with an M-truncated derivative (MTD). Our goal is to obtain rational, hyperbolic, and trigonometric solutions by using the F-expansion technique with the Riccati equation. To our knowledge, no one has studied the exact solutions to the KMMS in the presence/absence of a damping effect with an M-truncated derivative, using the F-expansion technique. The magnetic field propagation in a zero-conductivity ferromagnet is described by the KMMS; hence, solutions to this equation may provide light on several fascinating scientific phenomena. We use MATLAB to display figures in a variety of 3D and 2D formats to demonstrate the influence of the M-truncated derivative on the exact solutions to the KMMS. Full article
