This article investigates the environmental contamination and antibiotic exposure effect on the transmission dynamics of the Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) model in hospitals using the fractional Adams–Bashforth–Moulton Method (ABMM). This epidemic model simulates the dynamics of patient populations, bacterial contamination, and healthcare worker safety under varying conditions. This model provides critical insights into the interactions between hospital practices, environmental factors, and infection dynamics, demonstrating the importance of symmetry in balancing hospital admission and discharge rates to manage infection spread effectively. The analysis extends to the impact of environmental bacterial density and hospital admission rates on patient colonization. Increasing admission rates introduce more susceptible patients, exacerbating infection spread when bacterial density is high. Conversely, lower admission rates and bacterial density result in a more controlled infection environment. The model further investigates how varying discharge rates influence colonization dynamics, highlighting that effective discharge practices can mitigate infection spread, especially in high-bacterial density scenarios. It must be noted that this model is studied fractionally for the first time. Overall, this model provides critical insights into the interactions between hospital practices, environmental factors, and infection dynamics, offering valuable guidance for infection control strategies and hospital policy formulation. By adjusting fractional order constant (σ) values and analyzing different scenarios, this research aids in understanding and managing bacterial infections in healthcare settings. The proposed method is able to provide the results presented in the figures within this study considering the influence of many factors.

In this paper, a biophysical fractional diffusive cancer model with virotherapy is thoroughly analyzed and analytically simulated. The goal of this biophysical model is to represent both the dynamics of cancer development and the results of virotherapy, which uses viruses to target and destroy cancer cells. The Caputo sense is applied to the fractional derivatives. We look at the governing model's existence and uniqueness. For analytical solutions, the Laplace residual power series approach is used. The study investigates the model's dynamic behavior, shedding light on the development of cancer and the effects of virotherapy. The research advances our knowledge of cancer modeling and treatment options. Numerical simulations show the agreement between the analytical results and the related numerical solutions, proving the usefulness of the analytical solution.

We introduce this work by studying the non-Newtonian fluids, which have huge applications in different science fields. We decided to concentrate on taking the time-dependent Casson fluid, which is non-Newtonian, compressed between two flat plates. in fractional form and the magnetohydrodynamic and Darcian flow effects in consideration using the semi-analytical iterative method created by Temimi and Ansari, known as TAM, this method is carefully selected to be suitable for studying the Navier-Stokes model in the modified form to express the studied case mathematically. To simplify the partial differential equations of the system to the nonlinear ordinary differential equation of order four the similarity transformations suggested by Wang (1976) are used. The TAM approach demonstrates a high degree of accuracy, efficiency, and convergence when applied to the resolution of both linear and nonlinear problems, and the results in this article are used to study the effect of the related factors like squeeze number Sq, Casson parameterβ, magnetohydrodynamic parameter Mg and permeability constant Mp and examining the skin friction coefficient effect. The velocity profile is studied numerically, which is tabulated and graphically represented to show and confirm the theoretical study. We can conclude that the success of the proposed method in studying time-dependent Casson fluid, which is non-Newtonian, compressed between two flat plates provides opportunities for additional study and advancements in fluid mechanics using the techniques.

Building upon the previous research that solved neutron diffusion equations in simplified slab geometry, this study advances the field by addressing the more complex cylindrical geometry, focusing on neutron diffusion equations that are coupled with delayed neutrons in cylindrical reactors of fractional order. The method of solving used integrates the technique of residual power series (RPS) with the Laplace transform (LT) method. Anomalous neutron behavior is explained by examining the non-Gaussian scenario with various fractional parameters α. The LRPSM Laplace transform and residual power series method employed in this approach eliminates the complex difficulties. This simplicity makes the method particularly coherent with different fractional calculus applications. To validate the proposed method, numerical simulations are conducted with two different initial conditions representing distinct scenarios. The obtained results are presented in suitable tables and figures. It should be emphasized that this system is solved for the first time utilizing fractional calculus techniques. The outcomes are consistent with those achieved using the Adomian decomposition method.

The neutron diffusion equation (NDE) is one of the most important partial differential equations (PDEs), to describe the neutron behavior in nuclear reactors and many physical phenomena. In this paper, we reformulate this problem via Caputo fractional derivative with integer-order initial conditions, whose physical meanings, in this case, are very evident by describing the whole-time domain of physical processing. The main aim of this work is to present the analytical exact solutions to the fractional neutron diffusion equation (F-NDE) with one delayed neutrons group using the Laplace transform (LT) in the sense of the Caputo operator. Moreover, the poles and residues of this problem are discussed and determined. To show the accuracy, efficiency, and applicability of our proposed technique, some numerical comparisons and graphical results for neutron flux simulations are given and tested at different values of time $ t $ and order $ \alpha $ which includes the exact solutions (when $ \alpha = 1). $ Finally, Mathematica software (Version 12) was used in this work to calculate the numerical quantities.

A novel analytical solution to the neutron diffusion equation is proposed in this study using the residual power series approach for both spherical and hemispherical fissile material reactors. Various boundary conditions are investigated, including zero flux on the boundary, zero flux on the extrapolated boundary distance, and the radiation boundary condition (RBC). The study also shows how two hemispheres with opposing flat faces interact. We give numerical results for the same energy neutrons diffused in pure P239u. By qualitative comparison with the homotopy perturbation method and Bessel function-based solutions, the residual power series method (RPSM) presents accurate series solutions that converge to the exact solutions, as shown in this study. Moreover, numerical results were shown to be improved by the computer implementation of the analytic solutions.

In this paper, a system of coupled fractional neutron diffusion equations with delayed neutrons was solved efficiently by using a combination of residual power series and Laplace transform techniques, and the anomalous diffusion was considered by taking the non-Gaussian case with different values of fractional parameter α. The Laplace residual power series method (LRPSM) does not require differentiation, conversion, or discretization for the assumed conditions, so the approach is simple and suitable for solving higher-order fractional differential equations. To assure the theoretical results, two different neutron flux initial conditions were presented numerically, where the needed Mathematica codes were performed using essential nuclear reactor cross-section data, and the results for different values of times were tabulated and graphically figured out. Finally, it must be noted that the results align with the Adomian decomposition method.

In this work, the class of nonlinear complex fractional Kundu-Eckhaus equation is presented with a novel truncated M-fractional derivative. This model is significant and notable in quantum mechanics with good-natured physical characteristics. The motivation for this paper is to construct new solitary and kink wave solutions for the governing equation using the ansatz method. A complex-fractional transformation is applied to convert the fractional Kundu-Eckhaus equation into an ordinary differential equations system. The equilibria of the corresponding dynamical system will be presented to show the existence of traveling wave solutions for the governing model. A novel kink and solitary wave solutions of the governing model are realized by means of the proposed method. In order to gain insight into the underlying dynamics of the obtained solutions, some graphical representations are drawn. For more illustration, several numerical applications are given and analyzed graphically to demonstrate the ability and reliability of the method in dealing with various fractional engineering and physical problems.

The Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) proves continuous efficiency for a long time in solving linear and nonlinear mathematical differential equations and their applications in physical and engineering phenomena. In this work, HPM is applied to formulate new analytic solutions of time-independent neutron diffusion equation for different reflected reactor geometries, which is essential in describing the behaviour of the neutrons in the nuclear reactors. The reflector part is added to the core to minimize the critical dimensions and critical mass too. The results have been compared with canonical calculations, as well as to that taken from transport theory. This comparison has been achieved after computationally applying the developed theory and analytical formulas in numerical experiments. The methodology furnishes the ground for further future research in this field.

The fractional massive Thirring model is a coupled system of nonlinear PDEs emerging in the study of the complex ultrashort pulse propagation analysis of nonlinear wave functions. This article considers the NFMT model in terms of a modified Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. The novel travelling wave solutions of the considered model are investigated by employing an effective analytic approach based on a complex fractional transformation and Jacobi elliptic functions. The extended Jacobi elliptic function method is a systematic tool for restoring many of the well-known results of complex fractional systems by identifying suitable options for arbitrary elliptic functions. To understand the physical characteristics of NFMT, the 3D graphical representations of the obtained propagation wave solutions for some free physical parameters are randomly drawn for a different order of the fractional derivatives. The results indicate that the proposed method is reliable, simple, and powerful enough to handle more complicated nonlinear fractional partial differential equations in quantum mechanics.

In this paper, the general state of quantum mechanics equations that can be typically expressed by nonlinear fractional Schrödinger models will be solved based on an attractive efficient analytical technique, namely the conformable residual power series (CRPS). The fractional derivative is considered in a conformable sense. The desired analytical solution is obtained using conformable Taylor series expansion through substituting a truncated conformable fractional series and minimizing its residual errors to extract a supportive approximate solution in a rapidly convergent fractional series. This adaptation can be implemented as a novel alternative technique to deal with many nonlinear issues occurring in quantum physics. The effectiveness and feasibility of the CRPS procedures are illustrated by verifying three realistic applications. The obtained numerical results and graphical consequences indicate that the suggested method is a convenient and remarkably powerful tool in solving different types of fractional partial differential models.

In this paper, a multi-energy groups of a neutron diffusion equations system is analytically solved by a residual power series method. The solution is generalized to consider three different geometries: slab, cylinder and sphere. Diffusion of two and four energy groups of neutrons is specifically analyzed through numerical calculation at certain boundary conditions. This study revels sufficient analytical description for radial flux distribution of multi-energy groups of neutron diffusion theory as well as determination of each nuclear reactor dimension in criticality case. The generated results are compatible with other different methods data. The generated results are practically efficient for neutron reactors dimension.
