Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Differential equations are one of the core areas of analytical mathematics, playing a fundamental role in modern science and practical engineering. With the promotion of science and technology, in recent years, the theory of differential equations and its applications have rapidly developed, and new waves have been successively set off in these research fields.

The aim of this Special Issue is to attract original frontier contributions on the theory of fractional differential equations and functional differential equations, including but not limited to initial value problems, boundary value problems, qualitative theory, stability analysis, control theory and numerical solutions. Moreover, we encourage submissions of their applications in bioscience, economy, information engineering, and so on.

This research relies on several kinds of Volterra-type integral differential systems and their associated stability concerns under the impulsive effects of the Volterra integral terms at certain time instants. The dynamics are defined as delay-free dynamics contriobution together with the contributions of a finite set of constant point delay dynamics, plus a Volterra integral term of either a finite length or an infinite one with intrinsic memory. The global asymptotic stability is characterized via Krasovskii–Lyapuvov functionals by incorporating the impulsive effects of the Volterra-type terms together with the effects of the point delay dynamics.

Forest pests and diseases can diminish forest biodiversity, damage forest ecosystem functions, and have an impact on water conservation. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the interaction mechanism between plants and pests. In this paper, the prevention and control of a specific pest—namely the larva of Paranthrene tabaniformis (Rott.) (hereinafter referred to as larva)—are studied. Based on the invasion mechanism of the larva in poplar, we establish a delayed differential equation and analyze the existence and stability of equilibria. Next, we assess the existence of a Hopf bifurcation to determine the range of parameters that ensures that the equilibria are stable. Then, we select a set of parameters to verify the results of the stability analysis. Finally, we provide biological explanations and effective theoretical control methods for poplar pests and diseases. Full article

In this study, novel criteria are derived to ensure the oscillation of solutions in nonlinear advanced noncanonical dynamic equations.

This paper delves into the asymptotic and oscillatory behavior of all classes of solutions of fourth-order nonlinear neutral delay differential equations in the noncanonical form with damping terms. This research aims to improve the relationships between the solutions of these equations and their corresponding functions and derivatives. By refining these relationships, we unveil new insights into the asymptotic properties governing these solutions. These insights lead to the establishment of improved conditions that ensure the nonexistence of any positive solutions to the studied equation, thus obtaining improved oscillation criteria. In light of the broader context, our findings extend and build upon the existing literature in the field of neutral differential equations. To emphasize the importance of the results and their applicability, this paper concludes with some examples. Full article

In this paper, new criteria for a class oscillation of second-order delay differential equations with distributed deviating arguments were established. Our method mainly depends on making sharper estimates for the non-oscillatory solutions of the studied equation. By using the Ricati technique and comparison theorems that compare the studied equations with first-order delay differential equations, we obtained new and less restrictive conditions that ensure the oscillation of all solutions of the studied equation. Further, we give an illustrative example. Full article
