Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

An uncertain differential equation is a type of differential equation involving uncertain processes. Nowadays, the study of uncertain differential equations is in a period of rapid development, and it involves fields including finance, optimal control, game theory, accelerated degradation test, birth rate, chemical reaction, crude oil price, drug metabolism, electric circuit, epidemic spread, gas futures price, heat conduction, liquid seepage, population, rumor spread, software reliability, spring vibration, and string vibration. The aim of this Special Issue is to attract leading researchers in these areas in order to include new high-quality results involving their symmetry properties, both from a theoretical and an applied point of view.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  1. uncertain differential equation;
  2. uncertain statistics;
  3. uncertain programming;
  4. uncertain calculus;
  5. uncertain finance.

Multifactor uncertain differential equations are powerful tools for studying dynamic systems under multi-source noise. A key challenge in this study is how to accurately estimate unknown parameters based on the framework of uncertainty theory in multi-source noise environments. To address this core problem, this paper innovatively proposes a least-squares estimation method. The essence of this method lies in constructing statistical invariants with a symmetric uncertainty distribution based on observational data and determining specific parameters by minimizing the distance between the population distribution and the empirical distribution of the statistical invariant. Additionally, two numerical examples are provided to help readers better understand the practical operation and effectiveness of this method. In addition, we also provide a case study of JD.com’s stock prices to illustrate the advantages of the method proposed in this paper, which not only provides a new idea and method for addressing the problem of dynamic system parameter estimation but also provides a new perspective and tool for research and application in related fields.

Economic globalization and the rapid development of the Internet make logistics systems more and more diversified, people and enterprises have greatly increased their requirements for logistics systems, and fourth party logistics has received more and more attention from people and related enterprises. In order to further study the routing problem under uncertain stochastic environments, this paper considers the fourth party logistics routing problem from a single manufacturer to multiple distributors with uncertain times and random supplies under the complete information symmetry scenario and symmetric transportation volume decision space. Then, an uncertain stochastic programming model is established with the minimum total cost as its core objective, and the total transportation time, manufacturer’s supply, and distributor’s demand as constraints. In order to solve the optimal path of the above problems, this paper transforms the uncertain stochastic programming model into a classical mathematical programming model based on the distribution functions of uncertain time and random supply. Finally, two numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model. Full article
