This article compared two high-order numerical schemes for convection-diffusion delay differential equation via two fractional operators with singular kernels. The objective is to present two effective schemes that give (3 - α) and second order of accuracy in the time direction when α ∈ (0 , 1) using Caputo and Modified Atangana-Baleanu Caputo derivatives, respectively. We also implemented a trigonometric spline technique in the space direction, giving second order of accuracy. Moreover, meticulous analysis shows these numerical schemes to be unconditionally stable and convergent. The efficiency and reliability of these schemes are illustrated by numerical experiments. The tabulated results obtained from test examples have also shown the comparison of these operators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we presented a new analytical method for one of the rapidly emerging branches of fractional calculus, the distributed order fractional differential equations (DFDE). Due to its significant applications in modeling complex physical systems, researchers have shown profound interest in developing various analytical and numerical methods to study DFDEs. With this motivation, we proposed an easy computational technique with the help of graph theoretic polynomials from algebraic graph theory for nonlinear distributed order fractional ordinary differential equations (NDFODE). In the method, we used clique polynomials of the cocktail party graph as an approximation solution. With operational integration and fractional differentiation in the Caputo sense, the NDFODEs transformed into a system of algebraic equations and then solved by Newton–Raphson's method to determine the unknowns in the Clique polynomial approximation. The proficiency of the proposed Clique polynomial collocation method (CCM) is illustrated with four numerical examples. The convergence and error analysis are discussed in tabular and graphical depictions by comparing the CCM results with the results of existing numerical methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Finally, we give some numerical experiments to verify the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, using Caputo and ABC derivatives, we present a mathematical analysis of two fractional models for poliomyelitis, considering the presence of vaccination (V) and a post‐paralytic class (A). The existence and uniqueness of solutions are proved. The basic reproduction number R0$$ {\mathcal{R}}_0 $$ is computed. Local and global stability of the disease‐free stationary state, depending on the threshold R0$$ {\mathcal{R}}_0 $$, is provided, along with conditions for the existence of an endemic stationary state. Moreover, we performed a sensitivity analysis to study the influence of all biological parameters on R0$$ {\mathcal{R}}_0 $$. We concluded our study with numerical simulations to illustrate the models' dynamics and to compare the trajectories of Caputo and ABC solutions. We found that the Caputo and ABC operators are both convenient for the modelization of the poliomyelitis disease. However, the ABC operator not only refined the Caputo operator by removing singularity from the kernel expression but also brought out heredity and memory in the model's characteristics.

This study is concerned with finding numerical solutions of nonlinear delay differential equations involving extended Mittag-Leffler fractional derivatives of the Caputo-type. The main benefit of the used extension is to address the complexity resulting from the limitations of using fractional derivatives with non-singular Mittag-Leffler kernels. We discussed the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the studied delay models. Next, we modified an Adams-type method to numerically solve fractional delay differential equations combined with Mittag-Leffler kernels. A new type of solution belonging to the L 1 space is presented for the studied models using the proposed scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The theoretical aspects of the method are investigated, and then by solving some problems, the efficiency of the method is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper mainly presents numerical solutions to an initial-boundary value problem of the time-fractional Klein-Gordon equations. We developed a numerical scheme with the help of the finite difference methods and the predictor-corrector methods to find numerical solutions of the considered problems. The proposed scheme is based on discretizing the considered problems with respect to spatial and temporal domains. Numerical results are derived for some illustrative problems, and the outputs are compared with the exact solution in the integer order case. The solution behavior and 3D graphics of the discussed problems are demonstrated using the proposed scheme. Finally, the proposed scheme, which does not require solving large systems of linear equations, can be extended and modified to handle other classes of time-fractional PDEs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we examine the time-dependent two-dimensional cable equation of fractional order in terms of the Caputo fractional derivative. This cable equation plays a vital role in diverse areas of electrophysiology and modeling neuronal dynamics. This paper conveys a precise semi-analytical method called the q-homotopy analysis transform method to solve the fractional cable equation. The proposed method is based on the conjunction of the q-homotopy analysis method and Laplace transform. We explained the uniqueness of the solution produced by the suggested method with the help of Banach's fixed-point theory. The results obtained through the considered method are in the form of a series solution, and they converge rapidly. The obtained outcomes were in good agreement with the exact solution and are discussed through the 3D plots and graphs that express the physical representation of the considered equation. It shows that the proposed technique used here is reliable, well-organized and effective in analyzing the considered non-homogeneous fractional differential equations arising in various branches of science and engineering.

Abstract This study presents an enhanced fractional-order mathematical model for analyzing the dynamics of Klebsiella pneumonia infections and antibiotic resistance over time. The model incorporates fractional Caputo derivative operators and kernel, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the complex temporal dynamics. The model consists of three groups: Susceptible (S), Infected (I), and Resistant (R) individuals, each controlled by a fractional differential equation. The model represents the interaction between infection, recovery from infection, and the possible development of antibiotic resistance in susceptible individuals. The existence, uniqueness, stability, and alignment of the model’s prediction to the observed data were analyzed and buttressed with numerical simulations. The results show that imipenem has the highest efficacy compared with ertapenem and meropenem category drugs. The estimated reproduction number and reproduction coefficient illustrate the potential impact of this model in improving treatment strategies, while the memory effects highlight the advantages of fractional differentiation. The model predicts an increased possibility of antibiotic resistance despite effective treatment, suggesting a new treatment approach.

This work explores the existence and uniqueness criteria for the solution of hybrid Caputo–Hadamard fractional sequential differential equations (HCHFSDEs) by employing Darbo's fixed-point theorem. Fractional differential equations play a pivotal role in modeling complex phenomena in various areas of science and engineering. The hybrid approach considered in this work combines the advantages of both the Caputo and Hadamard fractional derivatives, leading to a more comprehensive and versatile model for describing sequential processes. To address the problem of the existence and uniqueness of solutions for such hybrid fractional sequential differential equations, we turn to Darbo's fixed-point theorem, a powerful mathematical tool that establishes the existence of fixed points for certain types of mappings. By appropriately transforming the differential equation into an equivalent fixed-point formulation, we can exploit the properties of Darbo's theorem to analyze the solutions' existence and uniqueness. The outcomes of this research expand the understanding of HCHFSDEs and contribute to the growing body of knowledge in fractional calculus and fixed-point theory. These findings are expected to have significant implications in various scientific and engineering applications, where sequential processes are prevalent, such as in physics, biology, finance, and control theory.

Until now, little investigation has been done to examine the existence and uniqueness of solutions for fractional differential equations on star graphs. In the published articles on the subject, the authors used a star graph with one junction node that has edges with the other nodes, although there are no edges between them. These graph structures do not cover more generic non-star graph structures; they are specific examples. The purpose of this study is to prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a new family of fractional boundary value problems on the tetramethylbutane graph that have more than one junction node after presenting a labeling mechanism for graph vertices. The chemical compound tetramethylbutane has a highly symmetrical structure, due to which it has a very high melting point and a short liquid range; in fact, it is the smallest saturated acyclic hydrocarbon that appears as a solid at a room temperature of 25 °C. With vertices designated by 0 or 1, we propose a fractional-order differential equation on each edge of tetramethylbutane graph. Employing the fixed-point theorems of Schaefer and Banach, we demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the suggested fractional differential equation satisfying the integral boundary conditions. In addition, we examine the stability of the system. Lastly, we present examples that illustrate our findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Under proper requirements on the given data in the model, the classical and strong solvability of these problems for any finite time interval [0, T] are proved via so-called continuation method. The key point in this approach is finding suitable a priori estimates of a solution in the fractional Hölder and Sobolev spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article introduces an extension of classical fuzzy partial differential equations, known as fuzzy fractional partial differential equations. These equations provide a better explanation for certain phenomena. We focus on solving the fuzzy time diffusion equation with a fractional order of 0 < α ≤ 1, using two explicit compact finite difference schemes that are the compact forward time center space (CFTCS) and compact Saulyev's scheme. The time fractional derivative uses the Caputo definition. The double-parametric form approach is used to transfer the governing equation from an uncertain to a crisp form. To ensure stability, we apply the von Neumann method to show that CFTCS is conditionally stable, while compact Saulyev's is unconditionally stable. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the practicality of our proposed schemes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, a new relationship is established between the solutions of higher order fractional differential equations and a Wright-type transformation. Solutions could be interpreted as expected values of functions in a random time process. As applications, we solve the fractional beam equation, fractional electric circuits with special functions as external sources, derive d’Alembert’s formula and show the existence of explicit solutions for a general fractional wave equation with variable coefficients. Due to this relationship, we present two methods for simulating solutions of fractional differential equations. The two approaches use the interpretation of the Caputo derivative of a function as a Wright-type transformation of the higher derivative of the function. In the first approach, we use the Runge–Kutta method of hybrid orders 4 and 5 to solve ordinary differential equations combined with the Monte Carlo integration to conduct the Wright-type transformation. The second method uses a feedforward neural network to simulate the fractional differential equation.

To demonstrate the method's efficiency, computational simulations of chaotic behaviors in several one‐dimensional delayed systems with distinct variable orders are employed. The numerical solution of the proposed problem gives high precision approximations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The memory effect in vesicle dynamics refers to the persistence of shape changes in lipid vesicles, a type of lipid bilayer membrane that mimics some features of real cells, particularly red blood cells (RBCs). To study this effect, a fractional rigid sphere model in five dimensions has been investigated, which maps the dynamics of a vesicle using the Caputo operator. This model provides new insights into the mechanisms behind the memory effect as well as the emergence of two other motions, namely, tank‐treading with underdamped and tank‐treading with overdamped vesicle oscillations, in addition to the tank‐treading mode where the vesicle rotates about its axis while maintaining a constant shape. Overall, this work represents a significant advance in our understanding of vesicle dynamics and has important implications for understanding the behavior of RBCs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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−.

The fractional-order calculus model is suitable for describing real-world problems that contain non-local effects and have memory genetic effects. Based on the definition of the Caputo derivative, the article proposes a class of fractional hepatitis B epidemic model with a general incidence rate. Firstly, the existence, uniqueness, positivity and boundedness of model solutions, basic reproduction number, equilibrium points, and local stability of equilibrium points are studied employing fractional differential equation theory, stability theory, and infectious disease dynamics theory. Secondly, the fractional necessary optimality conditions for fractional optimal control problems are derived by applying the Pontryagin maximum principle. Finally, the optimization simulation results of fractional optimal control problem are discussed. To control the spread of the hepatitis B virus, three control variables (isolation, treatment, and vaccination) are applied, and the optimal control theory is used to formulate the optimal control strategy. Specifically, by isolating infected and non-infected people, treating patients, and vaccinating susceptible people at the same time, the number of hepatitis B patients can be minimized, the number of recovered people can be increased, and the purpose of ultimately eliminating the transmission of hepatitis B virus can be achieved.

The main aim of this paper is to construct an efficient recursive algorithm to solve a time-space fractional Poisson's equation which can be treated as a time-space fractional diffusion equation in two dimensions. The fractional derivatives in both time and space are defined in the Caputo sense. A homotopy perturbation method is introduced to approximate the solution, and a comparison is made between the exact and the approximate solutions. In addition, we present a procedure for solving higher-order fractional Poisson's equations. In this case, the equation is converted to a system of fractional differential equations in which the order of the time derivatives is less than or equal to one. The convergence analysis is carried out, and an apriori bound of the solution is obtained for the present problem. Numerical examples are provided and the experimental evidence proves the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
