This paper presents a reliable approach for solving linear systems of ordinary and fractional differential equations. First, the FDEs or ODEs of a system with initial conditions to be solved are transformed to Volterra integral equations. Then Taylor expansion for the unknown function and integration method are employed to reduce the resulting integral equations to a new system of linear equations for the unknown and its derivatives. The fractional derivatives are considered in the Riemann-Liouville sense. Some numerical illustrations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in this paper.

Let $${\mathcal {F}}$$ denote the class of all functions univalent in the unit disk $$\Delta \equiv \{\zeta \in {\mathbb {C}}\,:\,\left| \zeta \right| <1\}$$ and convex in the direction of the real axis. The paper deals with the subclass $${\mathcal {F}}^{(n)}$$ of these functions $$f$$ which satisfy the property $$f(\varepsilon z)=\varepsilon f(z)$$ for all $$z\in \Delta $$ , where $$\varepsilon =e^{2\pi i/n}$$ . The functions of this subclass are called $$n$$ -fold symmetric. For $${\mathcal {F}}^{(n)}$$ , where $$n$$ is odd positive integer, the following sets, $$\bigcap _{f\in {\mathcal {F}}^{(n)}} f(\Delta )$$ -the Koebe set and $$\bigcup _{f\in {\mathcal {F}}^{(n)}} f(\Delta )$$ -the covering set, are discussed. As corollaries, we derive the Koebe and the covering constants for $${\mathcal {F}}^{(n)}$$ . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are many articles in the literature dealing with the first-order and the second-order differential subordination and differential superordination problems for analytic functions in the unit disk, but there are only a few articles dealing with the third-order differential subordination problems. The concept of third-order differential subordination in the unit disk was introduced by Antonino and Miller, and studied recently by Tang and Deniz. Let $$\Omega $$ be a set in the complex plane $$\mathbb {C}$$ , let $$\mathfrak {p}(z)$$ be analytic in the unit disk $$\mathbb {U}=\{z:z\in \mathbb {C}\quad \text {and} \quad |z|<1\}$$ , and let $$\psi : \mathbb {C}^4\times \mathbb {U}\rightarrow \mathbb {C}$$ . In this paper, we investigate the problem of determining properties of functions $$\mathfrak {p}(z)$$ that satisfy the following third-order differential superordination: As applications, we derive some third-order differential superordination results for analytic functions in $$\mathbb {U}$$ , which are associated with a family of generalized Bessel functions. The results are obtained by considering suitable classes of admissible functions. New third-order differential sandwich-type results are also obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
