Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to contribute a manuscript to this Special Issue on “Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equation and Fixed-Point Theory”.

Nonlinear fractional differential equations have been of great interest for the past three decades. This is due to the intensive development of the theory of fractional calculus and its applications. Apart from diverse areas of pure mathematics, fractional differential equations can be used in the modeling of various fields of science and engineering, such as rheology, self-similar dynamical processes, porous media, fluid flows, viscoelasticity, electrochemistry, control, electromagnetic, and many other branches of science. A significant characteristic of a fractional order differential operator which distinguishes it from the integer-order differential operator is that it is nonlocal in nature, that is, the future state of a dynamical system or process involving fractional derivative depends on its current state as well as its past states. In fact, this feature of fractional-order operators has contributed toward the popularity of fractional-order models, which are recognized as more realistic and practical than classical integer-order models.

Fixed-point theory provides essential tools for solving problems arising in various branches of mathematical analysis, such as split feasibility problems, variational inequality problems, nonlinear optimization problems, equilibrium problems, complementarity problems, selection and matching problems, and problems of proving the existence of solution of integral and differential equations.

The aim of this Special Issue is to gather and publish new results on fractional differential equation and fixed-point theory and their applications. We welcome papers on topics including, but not limited to the following:

  • Fixed-point theory and its application;
  • Approximation theory and its application;
  • Variational inequality and its applications;
  • Fractional differential equation;
  • Iterated function system;
  • Fractal theory;
  • Differential equations;
  • Finite difference equations;
  • Nonlinear analysis;
  • Dynamical system;
  • Nonlinear convex analysis.

The purpose of this study is to explore the existence and uniqueness of the best proximity points for α,Θ-proximal contractions, a novel concept introduced in the context of F-metric spaces. Moreover, we provide an example to show the usability of the obtained results. To broaden the scope of this research area, we leverage our best proximity point results to demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for differential equations (equation of motion) and also for fractional differential equations.

This research article aims to solve a nonlinear fractional differential equation by fixed point theorems in orthogonal metric spaces. To achieve our goal, we define an orthogonal Θ-contraction and orthogonal (α,Θ)-contraction in the setting of complete orthogonal metric spaces and prove fixed point theorems for such contractions. In this way, we consolidate and amend innumerable celebrated results in fixed point theory. We provide a non-trivial example to show the legitimacy of the established results. Full article

This note generalizes several existing results related to Hermite–Hadamard inequality using h-Godunova–Levin and (h1,h2)-convex functions using a fractional integral operator associated with the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative. This study uses a non-singular kernel and constructs some new theorems associated with fractional order integrals. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the obtained results are a generalization of the existing ones. To demonstrate the correctness of these results, we developed a few interesting non-trivial examples. Finally, we discuss some applications of our findings associated with special means. Full article

The main idea in this research is introducing another approximate method to calculate solutions of the fractional Torsion equation, which is one of the applied equations in civil engineering. Since the fractional order is closed to an integer, we convert the fractional Torsion equation to a perturbed ordinary differential equation involving a small parameter epsilon. Then we can find the exact solutions and approximate symmetries for the alternative approximation equation. Also, with help of the definition of conserved vector and the concept of nonlinear self-adjointness, approximate conservation laws(ACL) are obtained without approximate Lagrangians by using their approximate symmetries. In order to apply the presented theory, we apply the Lie symmetry analysis (LSA) and concept of nonlinear self-adjoint Torsion equation, which are very important in mathematics and engineering sciences, especially civil engineering.

The aim of this work is to analyze the relative controllability and Ulamn–Hyers stability of the ψ-Caputo fractional neutral delay differential system. We use neutral ψ-delayed perturbation of the Mitttag–Leffler matrix function and Banach contraction principle to examine the Ulam–Hyers stability of our considered system. We formulate the Grammian matrix to establish the controllability results of the linear fractonal differential system. Further, we employ the fixed-point technique of Krasnoselskii’s type to establish the sufficient conditions for the relative controllability of a semilinear ψ-Caputo neutral fractional system. Finally, the theoretical study is validated by providing an application. Full article
