Finally, several examples were presented to demonstrate the validity of our obtained results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Fractional Fokker-Planck equation (FFPE) and time fractional coupled Boussinesq-Burger equations (TFCBBEs) play important roles in the fields of solute transport, fluid dynamics, respectively. Although there are many methods for solving the approximate solution, simple and effective methods are more preferred. This paper aims to utilize Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) to construct approximate solutions for these two types of equations and gives some examples of numerical calculations, which can prove the validity of LADM by comparing the error between the calculated results and the exact solution. Design/methodology/approach: This paper analyzes and investigates the time-space fractional partial differential equations based on the LADM method in the sense of Caputo fractional derivative, which is a combination of the Laplace transform and the Adomian decomposition method. LADM method was first proposed by Khuri in 2001. Many partial differential equations which can describe the physical phenomena are solved by applying LADM and it has been used extensively to solve approximate solutions of partial differential and fractional partial differential equations. Findings: This paper obtained an approximate solution to the FFPE and TFCBBEs by using the LADM. A number of numerical examples and graphs are used to compare the errors between the results and the exact solutions. The results show that LADM is a simple and effective mathematical technique to construct the approximate solutions of nonlinear time-space fractional equations in this work. Originality/value: This paper verifies the effectiveness of this method by using the LADM to solve the FFPE and TFCBBEs. In addition, these two equations are very meaningful, and this paper will be helpful in the study of atmospheric diffusion, shallow water waves and other areas. And this paper also generalizes the drift and diffusion terms of the FFPE equation to the general form, which provides a great convenience for our future studies. [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]

In this paper, we expanded the concept of tempered fractional derivatives within both the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo frameworks, introducing a novel class of fractional operators. These operators are characterized by their dependence on a specific arbitrary smooth function. We then investigated the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a particular class of fractional differential equations, subject to specified initial conditions. To aid our analysis, we introduced and demonstrated the application of Picard's iteration method. Additionally, we utilized the Gronwall inequality to explore the stability of the system under examination. Finally, we studied the attractivity of the solutions, establishing the existence of at least one attractive solution for the system. Throughout the paper, we provide examples and remarks to support and reinforce our findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the existence of solutions for fractional differential equations with nonlocal boundary conditions (NFDEs) under essential assumptions. The boundary conditions incorporate a point 0 ≤ c < d and fixed points at the end of the interval [0, d]. For i = 0, 1, the boundary conditions are as follows: ai, bi > 0, a0p(c) = -b0p(d), a1p'(c) = -b1p'(d). Furthermore, the research aims to expand the usability and comprehension of these results to encompass not just NFDEs but also classical fractional differential equations (FDEs) by using the Krasnoselskii fixedpoint theorem and the contraction principle to improve the completeness and usefulness of the results in a wider context of fractional differential equations. We offer examples to demonstrate the results we have achieved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to numerically solve the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov fractional-time differential equations using the Legendre wavelet. Also, we analyzed the convergence of function approximation using Legendre wavelets. Introduced the absolute value between the exact answer and the approximate answer obtained by the given numerical methods, and analyzed the error of the numerical method. This method has the advantage of being simple to solve. The results revealed that the suggested numerical method is highly accurate and effective.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for a class of a fractional differential equation system of Riemann–Liouville type on infinite intervals with infinite-point boundary conditions. First, the higher-order equation is reduced to the lower-order equation, and then it is transformed into the equivalent integral equation. Secondly, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for each fixed parameter λ > 0 by using the mixed monotone operators fixed-point theorem. The results obtained in this paper show that the unique positive solution has good properties: continuity, monotonicity, iteration, and approximation. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the application of our main results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study fractional p 1 (x , ⋅) & p 2 (x , ⋅) -Laplacian Schrödinger-type equations for Robin boundary conditions. Under some suitable assumptions, we show that two solutions exist using the mountain pass lemma and Ekeland's variational principle. Then, the existence of infinitely many solutions is derived by applying the fountain theorem and the Krasnoselskii genus theory, respectively. Different from previous results, the topic of this paper is the Robin boundary conditions in R N ∖ Ω ‾ for fractional order p 1 (x , ⋅) & p 2 (x , ⋅) -Laplacian Schrödinger-type equations, including concave-convex nonlinearities, which has not been studied before. In addition, two examples are given to illustrate our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Grain-oriented silicon steel (GO FeSi) laminations are vital components for efficient energy conversion in electromagnetic devices. While traditionally optimized for power frequencies of 50/60 Hz, the pursuit of higher frequency operation (f ≥ 200 Hz) promises enhanced power density. This paper introduces a model for estimating GO FeSi laminations' magnetic behavior under these elevated operational frequencies. The proposed model combines the Maxwell diffusion equation and a material law derived from a fractional differential equation, capturing the viscoelastic characteristics of the magnetization process. Remarkably, the model's dynamical contribution, characterized by only two parameters, achieves a notable 4.8% Euclidean relative distance error across the frequency spectrum from 50 Hz to 1 kHz. The paper's initial section offers an exhaustive description of the model, featuring comprehensive comparisons between simulated and measured data. Subsequently, a methodology is presented for the localized segregation of magnetic losses into three conventional categories: hysteresis, classical, and excess, delineated across various tested frequencies. Further leveraging the model's predictive capabilities, the study extends to investigating the very high-frequency regime, elucidating the spatial distribution of loss contributions. The application of proportional–iterative learning control facilitates the model's adaptation to standard characterization conditions, employing sinusoidal imposed flux density. The paper deliberates on the implications of GO FeSi behavior under extreme operational conditions, offering insights and reflections essential for understanding and optimizing magnetic core performance in high-frequency applications.

This paper investigates Cauchy problems of nonlinear parabolic equation with a Caputo fractional derivative. When the initial datum is sufficiently small in some appropriate spaces, we demonstrate the existence in global time and uniqueness of a mild solution in fractional Sobolev spaces using some novel techniques. Under some suitable assumptions on the initial datum, we show that the mild solution of the time fractional parabolic equation converges to the mild solution of the classical problem when α → 1 − . Under some appropriate assumptions on the initial datum, we show that the mild solution of the time fractional diffusion equation converges to the mild solution of the classical problem when α → 1 − . Our theoretical results can be widely applied to many different equations such as the Hamilton–Jacobi equation, the Navier–Stokes equation in two cases: the fractional derivative and the classical derivative. Our paper also provides a completely new answer to the related open problem of convergence of solutions to fractional diffusion equations as the order of fractional derivative approaches 1−.

Queuing models consisting of servers which may not work with full efficiency are modelled with the help of fractional differential equations. Such problems with partial activity of the server are designed with the help of differential-difference equations involving fractional derivatives whose solutions are expressed in terms of Mittag-Leffler function. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach which gives a transient solution of fractional M/M/1 queue in matrix form. The results obtained by this new approach are justified by comparing them with solutions of classical queue which are available in the literature. Efficacy of the model can be assessed by computing its state probabilities and also measures such as expected number of customers in the system etc. Also, the variations in these measures with respect to partial activity of the server have been presented graphically and numerically. Further, a mathematical procedure to find optimal efficiency of the server has been discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with a class of backward stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion (with Hurst parameter H greater than 1/2) with time-delayed generators. In this type of equation, a generator at time t can depend on the values of a solution in the past, weighted with a time-delay function, for instance, of the moving average type. We establish an existence and uniqueness result of solutions for a sufficiently small time horizon or for a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant of a generator. The stochastic integral used throughout the paper is the divergence operator-type integral. [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.

This paper was concerned with the existence and uniqueness results for a coupled system of nonlinear generalized fractional differential equations supplemented with a new class of nonlocal coupled multipoint boundary conditions containing Riemann-Stieltjes and generalized fractional integrals. The nonlinearities in the given system depend on the unknown functions as well as their lower order generalized fractional derivatives. We made use of the Leray-Schauder alternative and Banach contraction mapping principle to obtain the desired results. An illustrative example was also discussed. The paper concluded with some interesting observations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the analysis of a coupled system governed by a Caputo-fractional derivative with q-integral-coupled boundary conditions. This system is particularly relevant in modeling multi-atomic systems, including scenarios involving adsorbed atoms or clusters on crystalline surfaces, surface–atom scattering, and atomic friction. To investigate this system, we introduce an operator that exhibits fixed points corresponding to the solutions of the problem, effectively transforming the system into an equivalent fixed-point problem. We established the necessary conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions using the Leray–Schauder nonlinear alternative and the Banach contraction mapping principle, respectively. Stability results in the Ulam sense for the coupled system are also discussed, along with a sensitivity analysis of the range parameters. To support the validity of their findings, we provide illustrative examples. Overall, the paper offers a thorough examination and analysis of the considered coupled system, making important contributions to the understanding of multi-atomic systems and their mathematical modeling.

An example is considered at the end of the paper to illustrate the obtained abstract results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Conditions for the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for a system of semilinear impulsive differential equations with infinite fractional Brownian movements and the Wiener process are established. Our approach is based on a novel application of Burton and Kirk's fixed point theorem in extended Banach spaces. This paper aims to extend current results to a differential-inclusions scenario. The motivation of this paper for impulsive neutral differential equations is to investigate the existence of solutions for impulsive neutral differential equations with fractional Brownian motion and a Wiener process (topics that have not been considered and are the main focus of this paper).

In this paper, the time fractional Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Peregrine (BBMP) equation and time-fractional Novikov equation with the Riemann-Liouville derivative are investigated through the use of Lie symmetry analysis and the new Noether's theorem. Then, we construct their group-invariant solutions by means of Lie symmetry reduction. In addition, the power-series solutions are also obtained with the help of the Erdélyi-Kober (E-K) fractional differential operator. Furthermore, the conservation laws for the time-fractional BBMP equation are established by utilizing the new Noether's theorem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of fractional differential equations of the form D^{\alpha }_Cu(t)=Au(t)+f(t), u(0)=x, 0<\alpha \le 1, (*) where D^{\alpha }_Cu(t) is the derivative of the function u in the Caputo's sense, A is a linear operator in a Banach space \mathbb {X} that may be unbounded and f satisfies the property that \lim _{t\to \infty } (f(t+1)-f(t))=0 which we will call asymptotic 1-periodicity. By using the spectral theory of functions on the half line we derive analogs of Katznelson-Tzafriri and Massera Theorems. Namely, we give sufficient conditions in terms of spectral properties of the operator A for all asymptotic mild solutions of Eq. (*) to be asymptotic 1-periodic, or there exists an asymptotic mild solution that is asymptotic 1-periodic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We propose necessary and sufficient conditions for the negativity of the two-point boundary value problem in the form of the Vallée-Poussin theorem about differential inequalities for the Hadamard fractional functional differential problem ... Here, the operator T:C→L∞ can be an operator with deviation (of delayed or advanced type), an integral operator or various linear combinations and superpositions. For example, the operator can be of the forms (Tx)(t)=q(t)x(t-τ(t)), (Tx)(t)=∫e1Q(t,s)x(θ(s))ds or (Tx)(t)=∫e1x(s)dsQ(t,s). We obtain explicit tests of negativity of Green's function in the form of algebraic inequalities. Our paper is the first one where a general form of the operator is considered with Hadamard fractional derivatives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nonexistence theorems constitute an important part of the theory of differential and partial differential equations. Motivated by the numerous applications of fractional differential equations in diverse fields, in this paper, we studied sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of solutions (or, equivalently, necessary conditions for the existence of solutions) for nonlinear fractional differential inequalities and systems in the sense of Erdélyi-Kober. Our approach is based on nonlinear capacity estimates specifically adapted to the Erdélyi-Kober fractional operators and some integral inequalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we developed a novel numerical method for solving general nonlinear fractional ordinary differential equations (FODEs). First, we transformed the nonlinear FODEs into the equivalent Volterra integral equations. We then developed a time-stepping algorithm for the numerical solution of the Volterra integral equations based on the third-order Taylor expansion for approximating the integrands in the Volterra integral equations on a chosen mesh with the mesh parameter h. This approximation led to implicit nonlinear algebraic equations in the unknowns at each given mesh point, and an iterative algorithm based on Newton's method was developed to solve the resulting implicit equations. A convergence analysis of this numerical scheme showed that the error between the exact solution and numerical solution at each mesh point is O(h³), independent of the fractional order. Finally, four numerical examples were solved to verify the theoretical results and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The symmetry features of fractional differential equations allow effective explanation of physical and biological phenomena in nature. The generalized form of the fractional differential equations is the variable-order fractional differential equations that describe the physical and biological applications. This paper discusses the closed-form traveling wave solutions for the nonlinear space-time variable-order fractional modified Kawahara and (2 + 1)-dimensional Burger hierarchy equations. The variable-order fractional differential equation has a derivative operator in the Caputo sense that is converted into the integer-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) by fractional transformation. The obtained ODE is solved by the exponential rational function method, and as a result, new exact solutions are constructed. Two problems are proposed to confirm the solutions of the space-time variable-order fractional differential equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is well known that investigation on exact solutions of nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (PDEs) is a very difficult work compared with integer‐order nonlinear PDEs. In this paper, based on the separation method of semifixed variables and integral bifurcation method, a combinational method is proposed. By using this new method, a class of generalized time‐fractional thin‐film equations are studied. Under two kinds of definitions of fractional derivatives, exact solutions of two generalized time‐fractional thin‐film equations are investigated respectively. Different kinds of exact solutions are obtained and their dynamic properties are discussed. Compared to the results in the existing references, the types of solutions obtained in this paper are abundant and very different from those in the existing references. Investigation shows that the solutions of the model defined by Riemann–Liouville differential operator converge faster than those defined by Caputo differential operator. It is also found that the profiles of some solutions are very similar to solitons, but they are not true soliton solutions. In order to visually show the dynamic properties of these solutions, the profiles of some representative exact solutions are illustrated by 3D graphs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for neutral functional differential equations with sequential fractional orders, specifically involving the G -Caputo operator. To obtain the desired results, we employ the Banach fixed point theorem (BFPT), a nonlinear variation of the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem (SFPT), and the Krasnoselski fixed point theorem (KFPT). Additionally, we provide illustrative examples that demonstrate the key findings. Furthermore, we address a scenario where an initial value integral condition is considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is devoted to studying a class of fuzzy fractional switched implicit differential equations (FFSIDEs) with non-instantaneous impulses that there are few papers considering this issue. Considering switching law and the memory property of fractional calculus, we first present a formula of solution for FFSIDEs with non-instantaneous impulses. Subsequently, based on a sequence of Picard functions, we explore the existence of solutions for the addressed equations by successive approximation. Furthermore, Ulam–Hyers (U–H) stability for this considered equations is derived. The main results are obtained using fuzzy-valued fractional calculus and nonlinear analysis. Finally, two numerical examples illustrating the theoretical result are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Herein, we present an algorithm for handling fractional delay differential equations (FDDEs). Chebyshev polynomials (CPs) class of the seventh kind is a subclass of the generalized Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials. The members of this class make up the basis functions in this paper. Our suggested numerical algorithm is derived using new theoretical findings about these polynomials and their shifted counterparts. We will use the Tau method to convert the FDDE with the governing conditions into a linear algebraic system, which can then be solved numerically using a suitable procedure. We will give a detailed discussion of the convergence and error analysis of the shifted Chebyshev expansion. Lastly, some numerical examples are provided to verify the precision and applicability of the proposed strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
