Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the last few decades, fractional differential equations, inclusions, and inequalities have been studied extensively. As a matter of fact, fractional derivatives and integrals provide a much better tool for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials and processes than integer derivatives. Engineers and scientists have developed new precise models which involve fractional differential equations and inequalities. These models have been applied successfully, e.g., in physics, biomathematics, blood flow phenomena, ecology, environmental issues, viscoelasticity, aerodynamics, electrodynamics of complex medium, electrical circuits, electron-analytical chemistry, control theory, etc.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to establish a collection of articles that reflect the latest mathematical developments in the field of fractional differential equations, inclusions, and inequalities with their applications.

Secondly, several new Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities for interval h-convex functions via interval Riemann–Liouville type fractional integrals are established. Finally, we obtain some new fractional Hadamard–Hermite type inequalities for interval harmonically h-convex functions by using the above relationship.

The aim of this work is to obtain an integral representation formula for the solutions of initial value problems for autonomous linear fractional neutral systems with Caputo type derivatives and distributed delays. The results obtained improve and extend the corresponding results in the particular case of fractional systems with constant delays and will be a useful tool for studying different kinds of stability properties.

We also prove certain inequalities involving Riemann–Liouville integrals of a function ψ provided that the absolute value of the first or second order derivative of ψ possesses an appropriate fractal s-convexity property.

We consider a time-fractional diffusion equation for an inverse problem to determine an unknown source term, whereby the input data is obtained at a certain time. In general, the inverse problems are ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. Therefore, in this study, we propose a mollification regularization method to solve this problem. In the theoretical results, the error estimate between the exact and regularized solutions is given by a priori and a posteriori parameter choice rules. Besides, the proposed regularized methods have been verified by a numerical experiment. Full article

In this article, we study the existence and uniqueness results for a separate nonlinear Caputo fractional sum-difference equation with fractional difference boundary conditions by using the Banach contraction principle and the Schauder’s fixed point theorem. Our problem contains two nonlinear functions involving fractional difference and fractional sum. Moreover, our problem contains different orders in n + 1 fractional differences and m + 1 fractional sums. Finally, we present an illustrative example. Full article

This paper gives continuous dependence results for solutions of integer and fractional order, non-instantaneous impulsive differential equations with random impulse and junction points. The notion of the continuous dependence of solutions of these equations on the initial point is introduced. We prove some sufficient conditions that ensure the solutions to perturbed problems have a continuous dependence. Finally, we use numerical examples to demonstrate the obtained theoretical results.

We discuss the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a Caputo-type fractional order boundary value problem equipped with non-conjugate Riemann-Stieltjes integro-multipoint boundary conditions on an arbitrary domain. Modern tools of functional analysis are applied to obtain the main results. Examples are constructed for the illustration of the derived results. We also investigate different kinds of Ulam stability, such as Ulam-Hyers stability, generalized Ulam-Hyers stability, and Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability for the problem at hand. Full article

This manuscript is devoted to establishing existence theory of solutions to a nonlinear coupled system of fractional order differential equations (FODEs) under integral boundary conditions (IBCs). For uniqueness and existence we use the Perov-type fixed point theorem. Further, to investigate multiplicity results of the concerned problem, we utilize Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorems of cone type and its various forms. Stability analysis is an important aspect of existence theory as well as required during numerical simulations and optimization of FODEs. Therefore by using techniques of functional analysis, we establish conditions for Hyers-Ulam (HU) stability results for the solution of the proposed problem. The whole analysis is justified by providing suitable examples to illustrate our established results. Full article

This paper studies the existence of mild solutions and the compactness of a set of mild solutions to a nonlocal problem of fractional evolution inclusions of order α ( 1 , 2 ) . The main tools of our study include the concepts of fractional calculus, multivalued analysis, the cosine family, method of measure of noncompactness, and fixed-point theorem.
