Very recently Jain et al. (J. Inequal. Appl. 2022:73, 2022) introduced the concept of multivalued F-contraction with altering distance function and investigated the existence of best proximity points for this class of mappings. In this article we prove that the existence of best proximity points for multivalued F-contraction non-self mappings can be obtained from the corresponding fixed point result for multivalued F-contraction self mappings, and so the main conclusion due to Jain et al. is not a real generalization of fixed point theory.

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic stability of the trajectories governed by some delay differential inequalities on time scales. Based on time scale theory and the fixed-point theorem, some sufficient conditions are obtained for guaranteeing asymptotic stability. It is interesting that the inequalities studied in this paper include the generalized Halanay inequalities. Due to the fact that dynamic systems on a time scale unify discrete and continuous systems, the results of this paper have wider application value. Furthermore, some numerical examples verify the main results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to present some new observations about w-distance (in the sense of O. Kada, T. Suzuki, W. Takahashi, Nonconvex minimization theorems and fixed point theorems in complete metric spaces, Math. Japonica 44, 2 (1996), 381-391) and F-contractions (in the sense of D. Wardowski, Fixed points of a new type of contractive mappings in complete metric spaces, Fixed Point Theory Appl., 2012:94 (2012)). Both concepts have been examined separately a lot, but there have been few attempts to connect them. This article is a step in filling this gap. Besides, some comments and improvements of results in the existing literature are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the paper, we introduce a new class of noncyclic φ-contractions as a generalization of the class of noncyclic contractions which was first introduced in the paper [R. Esp'ınola, M. Gabeleh, On the structure of minimal sets of relatively nonexpansive mappings, Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization 34 (8), 845-860, 2013] and study the existence, uniqueness and convergence of a fixed point for such class of noncyclic mapping in the framework of uniformly convex Banach spaces. We obtain existence results of the best proximity points for cyclic φ-contractions as a consequence of our main theorems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of common fixed point of tower type contractive mappings in complete metric (pseudo)modular spaces involving the theoretic relation. However, the newly introduced contraction in this paper further characterize and includes in their full strength several existing results in metrical fixed point theory. Some nontrivial supportive examples were given to justify our result. Our results generalize, improve, and unify some existing results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main purpose of the present paper is to prove the existence of periodic solutions of the three-body problem in the 3D Kepler formulation. We have solved the same problem in the case when the three particles are considered in an external inertial system. We start with the three-body equations of motion, which are a subset of the equations of motion (previously derived by us) for any number of bodies. In the Minkowski space, there are 12 equations of motion. It is proved that three of them are consequences of the other nine, so their number becomes nine, as much as the unknown trajectories are. The Kepler formulation assumes that one particle (the nucleus) is placed at the coordinate origin. The motion of the other two particles is described by a neutral system with respect to the unknown velocities. The state-dependent delays arise as a consequence of the finite vacuum speed of light. We obtain the equations of motion in spherical coordinates and split them into two groups. In the first group all arguments of the unknown functions are delays. We take their solutions as initial functions. Then, the equations of motion for the remaining two particles must be solved to the right of the initial point. To prove the existence–uniqueness of a periodic solution, we choose a space consisting of periodic infinitely smooth functions satisfying some supplementary conditions. Then, we use a suitable operator which acts on these spaces and whose fixed points are periodic solutions. We apply the fixed point theorem for the operators acting on the spaces of periodic functions. In this manner, we show the stability of the He atom in the frame of classical electrodynamics. In a previous paper of ours, we proved the existence of spin functions for plane motion. Thus, we confirm the Bohr and Sommerfeld's hypothesis for the He atom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Inverse data envelopment analysis (InvDEA) is a remarkable and popular management tool. This paper deals with one application of this tool. In fact, the problem of the merging of units is investigated in the presence of negative data. The problem of merging units refers to the fact that a set of units create a new unit based on synergy to improve their performance. We use multiple objective programming for this purpose and suggest new models based on predetermined conditions for new units. The proposed models estimate inputs and outputs simul- taneously. Importance advantages of the proposed models are: i) We can follow multiple goals in the problem of merging units because mul- tiple objective programming is applied. ii) Models can simultaneously estimate the inputs and outputs of the combined unit. iii) Unlike the existing methods in the InvDEA-based merging literature, the negative data do not need to be transferred to positive data. Finally, a numerical example is used to explain and validate the model proposed in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new class of nonlocal boundary value problems consisting of multi-term delay fractional differential equations and multipoint-integral boundary conditions is studied in this paper. We derive a more general form of the solution for the given problem by applying a fractional integral operator of an arbitrary order βξ instead of β1; for details, see Lemma 2.2. The given problem is converted into an equivalent fixed-point problem to apply the tools of fixed-point theory. The existence of solutions for the given problem is established through the use of a nonlinear alternative of the Leray-Schauder theorem, while the uniqueness of its solutions is shown with the aid of Banach's fixed-point theorem. We also discuss the stability criteria, icluding Ulam-Hyers, generalized Ulam-Hyers, Ulam-Hyers-Rassias, and generalized Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability, for solutions of the problem at hand. For illustration of the abstract results, we present examples. Our results are new and useful for the discipline of multi-term fractional differential equations related to hydrodynamics. The paper concludes with some interesting observations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is devoted to the existence of random mild solutions for a general class of second-order abstract random differential equations with state-dependent delay. The technique used is a generalization of the classical Darbo fixed point theorem for Fréchet spaces associated with the concept of measures of noncompactness. An application related to partial random differential equations with state-dependent delay is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme to approximate the fixed point of generalized α-nonexpansive mappings. we first prove that the proposed iteration process is faster than all of Picard, Mann, Ishikawa, Noor, Agarwal, Abbas and Thakur processes for contractive mappings. We also obtain some weak and strong convergence theorems for generalized α-nonexpansive mappings. Using the example presented in [R. Pant and R. Shukla, Approximating fixed point of generalized α-nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, J. Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 38(2017) 248-266.], we compare the convergence behavior of the new iterative process with other iterative processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Improving the control performance of dynamic vibration absorbers has recently been effective by introducing a grounded negative stiffness device. However, the negative stiffness structure is unstable and difficult to achieve in engineering practice , and its major drawback is that it amplif ies the vibration response of the primary system at low frequency region. Meanwhile, some mechanical devices can be combined to make the DVA work even better with a grounded positive stiffness. For this purpose, this paper combines for the first time the control effect of the inerter device and grounded positive stiffness into a three-element DVA model in order to better improve vibration reduction of an undamped primary system under excitation. First, the dynamic equation of motion of the system is written according to Newton 's second law. Then, the steady-state displacement response of the primary system under harmonic excitation is calculated. In order to minimize the resonant response of the primary system around its natural frequency, the extended fixed point theory is applied. Thus, the optimized parameters such as the tuning frequency ratio, the stiffness ratio , and the approximate damping ratio are determined as a function of mass ratio and inerter – mass ratio. From the results analysis, it was found that the inerter – mass ratio has a better working range to guarantee the stability of the coupled system. Then , study on the effect of inerter – mass ratio on the primary system response is carried out. It can be seen that increasing the inerter – mass ratio in the optimal working range can reduce the response of the primary system beyond its uncontrolled static response. However, it is necessary to avoid the situation where the inerter – mass ratio is very large because it can lead to unrealistic optimal parameters. Finally, comparison with other DVA models is show n under harmonic and random excitation of the primary system. It is found that the proposed DVA model in this paper has high control performance and can be used in many engineering practice s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to study the coupled fixed point of a class of mixed monotone operators in the setting of a subordinate semimetric space. Using the symmetry between the subordinate semimetric space and a JS-space, we generalize the results of Senapati and Dey on JS-spaces. In this paper, we obtain some coupled fixed point results and support them with some examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is dedicated to the memory of the esteemed Serbian mathematician Slaviša B. Prešić (1933–2008). The primary aim of this survey paper is to compile articles on Prešić-type mappings published since 1965. Additionally, it introduces a novel class of symmetric contractions known as Prešić–Menger and Prešić–Ćirić–Menger contractions, thereby enriching the literature on Prešić-type mappings. The paper endeavors to furnish young researchers with a comprehensive resource in functional and nonlinear analysis. The relevance of Prešić's method, which generalizes Banach's theorem from 1922, remains significant in metric fixed point theory, as evidenced by recent publications. The overview article addresses the growing importance of Prešić's approach, coupled with new ideas, reflecting the ongoing advancements in the field. Additionally, the paper establishes the existence and uniqueness of fixed points in Menger spaces, contributing to the filling of gaps in the existing literature on Prešić's works while providing valuable insights into this specialized domain.

Soft set theory has attracted many researchers from several different branches. Sound theoretical improvements are accompanied with successful applications to practical solutions of daily life problems. However, some of the attempts of generalizing crisp concepts into soft settings end up with completely equivalent structures. This paper deals with such a case. The paper mainly presents the metrizability of the soft topology induced by a soft metric. The soft topology induced by a soft metric is known to be homeomorphic to a classical topology. In this work, it is shown that this classical topology is metrizable. Moreover, the explicit construction of an ordinary metric that induces the classical topology is given. On the other hand, it is also shown that soft metrics are actually cone metrics. Cone metrics are already proven to be an unsuccessful attempt of generalizing metrics. These results clarify that most, if not all, properties of soft metric spaces could be directly imported from the related classical theory. The paper concludes with an application of the findings, i.e., a new soft fixed point theorem is stated and proven with the help of the obtained homemorphism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigated several new fixed points theorems for multivalued mappings in the framework b -metric spaces. We first generalized S -iterative schemes for multivalued mappings to above spaces by means of a convex structure and then we developed the existence of fixed points and approximate endpoints of the multivalued contraction mappings using iteration techniques. Furthermore, we introduced the modified S -iteration process for approximating a common endpoint of a multivalued α s -nonexpansive mapping and a multivalued mapping satisfying conditon (E ′ ) . We also showed that this new iteration process converges faster than the S -iteration process in the sense of Berinde. Some convergence results for this iterative procedure to a common endpoint under some certain additional hypotheses were proved. As an application, we applied the S -iteration process in finding the solution to a class of nonlinear quadratic integral equations. In this paper, we investigated several new fixed points theorems for multivalued mappings in the framework -metric spaces.

The aim of this paper is to determine the eigenvalue intervals of μk; 1 < k < n for which an iterative systems of a class of fractional-order differential equations with parameterized integral boundary conditions (BCs) has at least one positive solution by means of standard fixed point theorem of cone type. To the best of our knowledge, this will be the first time that we attempt to reach such findings for the topic at hand in the literature. The obtained results in the paper are illustrated with an example for their feasibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the existence of solution and extremal solutions for an initial-value problem of perturbed functional fractional differential equations with Caputo-Hadamard derivative. Our analysis relies on the fixed point theorem of Burton and Kirk and the concept of upper and lower solutions combined with a fixed point theorem in ordered Banach space established by Dhage and Henderson.

In this paper we relate a fundamental parameter of a random graph, its degree sequence, to a simple model of nearly independent binomial random variables. As a result, many interesting functions of the joint distribution of graph degrees, such as the distribution of the median degree, become amenable to estimation. Our result is established by proving an asymptotic formula conjectured in 1990 for the number of graphs with given degree sequence. In particular, this gives an asymptotic formula for the number of d-regular graphs for all d, as n→∞. The key to our results is a new approach to estimating ratios between point probabilities in the space of degree sequences of the random graph, including analysis of fixed points of the associated operators.

In this paper, we use an inequality involving a coupled multivalued mapping and a singlevalued mapping to obtain a coupled coincidence point theorem. We discuss special conditions under which coupled common fixed point theorems are obtained. The result combines several ideas prevalent in fixed point theory studies. There are several corollaries and illustrative examples. The Hausdorff-Pompeiu metric between sets is used. The work is in the context of metric spaces and is a part of set-valued analysis with the singlevalued consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we present an existence theorem for the problem of discontinuous dynamical system related to ordinary differential inclusion, based on the use of the concepts related to weighted spaces introduced by G'orka and Rybka, without using any fixed point theorem. The solution concept in this theorem is considered to belong to the weighted space. For comparison with the classical case and as an application of the theorem, we give an example problem that has such a solution but no continuously differentiable solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we present new existence results for the quasivariational inequality problem (QV I) in reflexive Banach spaces using the fixed point method with quasi-monotonicity and local upper sign-continuity assumptions. These results improve upon previous ones which only required a weaker monotonicity condition and did not impose compactness on the involved set. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Food security is a basic human right that guarantees humans an adequate amount of nutritious food. However, plant viruses and agricultural pests cause real damage to food sources, leading to negative impacts on meeting the human right of obtaining a sufficient amount of food. Understanding infectious disease dynamics can help us to design appropriate control and prevention strategies. Although cassava is among the most produced and consumed crops and greatly contributes to food security, cassava mosaic disease causes a decrease in photosynthesis and reduces cassava yield, resulting in a lack of crops. This paper developed a fractional model for cassava mosaic disease (CMD) dynamics based on the Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) fractional derivative to decrease cassava plant infection. We used fixed-point theory to study the existence of a unique solution in the form of the CMD model. A stability analysis of the model was conducted by using fixed-point theory and the Picard technique. A new numerical scheme was proposed for solving the nonlinear system of a fractional model in the sense of the CF-derivative and applied to obtain numerical simulations for a fractional model of the dynamics of CMD. The obtained results are described using figures that show the dynamics and behaviors of the compartments of CMD, and it is concluded that decreasing the population of whitefly vectors can prevent cassava plants from becoming infected better than increasing the recovery rate of the infected cassava plants.

This paper was to present a mathematical model of non-integer order and demonstrated the detrimental consequences of lumpy skin disease (LSD). The LSD model included primarily affected cattle and other animals, particularly buffalo and cows. Given the significant drop in the number of livestock and dairy products, it was essential to use mathematical models to raise awareness of this issue. We examined the suggested LSD model to understand as well as every possible avenue that could result in the illness spreading throughout the community. Ulam-Hyers stability made it easier to analyze the stability of the LSD model, and fixed-point theory was a valuable tool for finding the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the suggested model. We have used new versions of power law and exponential decay fractional numerical methods. Numerical calculations were showing the influence of various fractional orders on the spread of disease and provided more informations than integer orders for the sensitive parameters of the proposed model. The graphical depiction is showed an understanding of the proposed LSD model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to establish some fixed point results for enriched Kannan-type mappings in convex metric spaces. We first give an affirmative answer to a recent Berinde and Păcurar's question (Remark 2.3) [J. Comput. Appl. Math., 386 (2021), 113217]. Furthermore, we establish the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for Suzuki-enriched Kannan-type mappings in the setting of convex metric spaces. Finally, we present an application to approximate the solution of the Volterra integral equations to support our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we examine the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a system of the first-order q-difference equations with multi-point and q-integral boundary conditions using various fixed point (fp) theorems. Also, we give two examples to support our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper introduces a novel F fixed-point iteration method that leverages Green's function for solving the nonlinear Troesch problem in Banach spaces, which are symmetric spaces. The Troesch problem, characterized by its challenging boundary conditions and nonlinear nature, is significant in various physical and engineering applications. The proposed method integrates fixed-point theory with Green's function techniques to develop an iteration process that ensures convergence, stability, and accuracy. The numerical experiments demonstrate the method's efficiency and robustness, highlighting its potential for broader applications in solving nonlinear differential equations in Banach spaces.

This paper discusses the existence of positive radial symmetric solutions of the nonlinear biharmonic equation ▵ 2 u = f (u , ▵ u) on an annular domain Ω in R N with the Navier boundary conditions u | ∂ Ω = 0 and ▵ u | ∂ Ω = 0 , where f : R + × R − → R + is a continuous function. We present some some inequality conditions of f to obtain the existence results of positive radial symmetric solutions. These inequality conditions allow f (ξ , η) to have superlinear or sublinear growth on ξ , η as | (ξ , η) | → 0 and ∞. Our discussion is mainly based on the fixed-point index theory in cones.

After the initiation of Jachymski's contraction principle via digraph, the area of metric fixed point theory has attracted much attention. A number of outcomes on fixed points in the context of graph metric space employing various types of contractions have been investigated. The aim of this paper is to investigate some fixed point theorems for a class of nonlinear contractions in a metric space endued with a transitive digraph. The outcomes presented herewith improve, extend and enrich several existing results. Employing our findings, we describe the existence and uniqueness of a singular fractional boundary value problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper, we obtain three results on the existence of a fixed point for nonexpansive mappings. Two of them are generalizations of the result for F-contraction, while third one is a generalization of a recent result for set-valued contractions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on exploring the existence of solutions for a specific class of FDEs by leveraging fixed point theorem. The equation in question features the Caputo fractional derivative of order 3 < u ˆ ≤ 4 and includes a term Θ (β , Z (β)) alongside boundary conditions. Through the application of a fixed point theorem in appropriate function spaces, we consider nonlocal conditions along with necessary assumptions under which solutions to the given FDE exist. Furthermore, we offer an example to illustrate the results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we prove the existence of solutions for an elliptic system. More precisely, we combine the potential theory with the sub-super solution method and use the properties of the well-known Kato class to justify our existence results. The novelty of our study is that we consider either the bounded or the exterior domain; Also, the nonlinearities may be singular near the boundary. Some examples are presented to validate our main results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigated n-dimensional fractional hybrid differential equations (FHDEs) with nonlinear boundary conditions in a nonlinear coupled system. For this purpose, we used Dhage's fixed point theory, and applied the Krasnoselskii-type coupled fixed point theorem to construct existence conditions of the solution of the FHDEs. To illustrated this idea, suitable examples are presented in 3-dimensional space at the end of the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper was to introduce several b-generalized contractive mappings in the framework of cone b-metric spaces over Banach algebras. The obtained contractions generalized and extended the counterparts in metric spaces, cone metric spaces, and b-metric spaces. Moreover, via weakening the completeness of the spaces, we gave some fixed point theorems for asymptotically regular mappings without considering the orbital continuity and k-continuity of the mappings. Those who need a specification is our results do not rely on the continuity of b-metric and the normality of cones. In addition, some nontrivial examples were presented to illustrate the superiority of our fixed point theorems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the existence of common fixed points for mappings satisfying generalized rational type contractive conditions in the framework of bicomplex valued metric spaces. Our findings extend well-established results in the existing literature. As an application of our leading result, we explore the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the Volttera integral equation of the second kind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study the generalized F-iterated function system in G-metric space. Several results of common attractors of generalized iterated function systems obtained by using generalized F-Hutchinson operators are also established. We prove that the triplet of F-Hutchinson operators defined for a finite number of general contractive mappings on a complete G-metric space is itself a generalized F-contraction mapping on a space of compact sets. We also present several examples in 2-D and 3-D for our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a direct problem and an inverse problem involving a nonlinear fractional diffusion equation, which can be applied to many physical situations. The equation contains a Caputo fractional derivative, a symmetric uniformly elliptic operator and a source term consisting of the sum of two terms, one of which is linear and the other is nonlinear. The well-posedness of the direct problem is examined and the results are used to investigate the stability of an inverse problem of determining a function in the linear part of the source. The main tools in our study are the generalized eigenfunction expansions theory for nonlinear fractional diffusion equations, contraction mapping, Young's convolution and generalized Grönwall's inequalities. We present a stability estimate for the solution of the inverse source problem by means of observation data at a given point in the domain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we focus on the existence of positive solutions for a singular tempered sub-diffusion fractional model involving a quasi-homogeneous nonlinear operator. By using the spectrum theory and computing the fixed point index, some new sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions are derived. It is worth pointing out that the nonlinearity of the equation contains a tempered fractional sub-diffusion term, and is allowed to possess strong singularities in time and space variables. In particular, the quasi-homogeneous operator is a nonlinear and non-symmetrical operator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a new class of variational inequalities involving two operators, which is called the general variational inequality. We have shown that the general variational inequalities are equivalent to the fixed point problem using the projection technique. This equivalent fixed point formulation is used to discuss the existence of solution as well as to investigate several iterative methods for solving general variational inequalities. Some applications of the associated dynamical system coupled with finite difference are explored. Convergence analysis of the proposed methods is considered under suitable conditions. Since general variational inequalities include the variational inequalities, complementarity problems and nonlinear equations as special cases, our results continued to hold for these problems. The techniques and ideas of this paper be starting point for the future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study the Ulam stability and hyperstability of two general functional equations in several variables in 2-Banach spaces. Multi-additive and multi-Jensen functions are particular cases of these functional equations. We also improve the main results of Theorem 3 and Theorem 4 of [Ciepli'nski, K. Ulam stability of functional equations in 2-Banach spaces via the fixed point method. J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 23 (2021), no. 3, Paper No. 33, 14 pp.] and their consequences.

Let A and B be two nonempty subsets of a normed space X, and let T : A ∪ B → A ∪ B be a cyclic (resp., noncyclic) mapping. The objective of this paper is to establish weak conditions on T that ensure its relative nonexpansiveness. The idea is to recover the results mentioned in two papers by Matkowski (Banach J. Math. Anal. 2:237–244, 2007; J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 24:70, 2022), by replacing the nonexpansive mapping f : C → C with a cyclic (resp., noncyclic) relatively nonexpansive mapping to obtain the best proximity pair. Additionally, we provide an application to a functional equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Ebola virus continues to be the world's biggest cause of mortality, especially in developing countries, despite the availability of safe and effective immunization. In this paper, we construct a fractional-order Ebola virus model to check the dynamical transmission of the disease as it is impacted by immunization, learning, prompt identification, sanitation regulations, isolation, and mobility limitations with a constant proportional Caputo (CPC) operator. The existence and uniqueness of the proposed model's solutions are discussed using the results of fixed-point theory. The stability results for the fractional model are presented using Ulam–Hyers stability principles. This paper assesses the hybrid fractional operator by applying methods to invert proportional Caputo operators, calculate CPC eigenfunctions, and simulate fractional differential equations computationally. The Laplace–Adomian decomposition method is used to simulate a set of fractional differential equations. A sustainable and unique approach is applied to build numerical and analytic solutions to the model that closely satisfy the theoretical approach to the problem. The tools in this model appear to be fairly powerful, capable of generating the theoretical conditions predicted by the Ebola virus model. The analysis-based research given here will aid future analysis and the development of a control strategy to counteract the impact of the Ebola virus in a community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is concerned with piecewise pseudo almost periodic solutions of a class of interval general BAM neural networks with mixed time-varying delays and impulsive perturbations. By adopting the exponential dichotomy of linear differential equations and the fixed point theory of contraction mapping. The sufficient conditions for the existence of piecewise pseudo almost periodic solutions of the interval general BAM neural networks with mixed time-varying delays and impulsive perturbations are obtained. By adopting differential inequality techniques and mathematical methods of induction, the global exponential stability for the piecewise pseudo almost periodic solutions of the interval general BAM neural networks with mixed time-varying delays and impulsive perturbations is discussed. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the results obtained in the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study the existence and exponential stability in pth moment of mild solutions for a class of impulsive fractional stochastic differential equations driven by Poisson jumps. Firstly, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for the considered equations by the Banach fixed point theorem. Next, we establish a new impulsive-integral inequality that can effectively improve some previous results [4, 17, 5, 3, 6]. Then, we obtain the exponential stability in the pth moment of mild solutions for the considered equations with the aid of the new inequality. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which is a chronic and sometimes fatal illness. HIV reduces an individual's capability against infection and illness by demolishing his or her immunity. This paper presents a new model that governs the dynamical behavior of HIV/AIDS by integrating new compartments, i.e., the treatment class T. The steady-state solutions of the model are investigated, and accordingly, the threshold quantity R 0 is calculated, which describes the global dynamics of the proposed model. It is proved that for R 0 less than one, the infection-free state of the model is globally asymptotically stable. However, as the threshold number increases by one, the endemic equilibrium becomes globally asymptotically stable, and in such case, the disease-free state is unstable. At the end of the paper, the analytic conclusions obtained from the analysis of the ordinary differential equation (ODE) model are supported through numerical simulations. The paper also addresses a comprehensive analysis of a fractional-order HIV model utilizing the Caputo fractional differential operator. The model's qualitative analysis is investigated, and computational modeling is used to examine the system's long-term behavior. The existence/uniqueness of the solution to the model is determined by applying some results from the fixed points of the theory. The stability results for the system are established by incorporating the Ulam–Hyers method. For numerical treatment and simulations, we apply Newton's polynomial and the Toufik–Atangana numerical method. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fractional-order approach in capturing the dynamics of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and provide valuable insights for designing effective control strategies.
