    During the last decade, there has been an increased interest in fractional differential equations, inclusions, and inequalities, as they play a fundamental role in the modeling of numerous phenomena, in particular, in physics, biomathematics, blood flow phenomena, ecology, environmental issues, viscoelasticity, aerodynamics, electrodynamics of complex medium, electrical circuits, electron-analytical chemistry, control theory, etc. This book presents collective works published in the recent Special Issue (SI) entitled "Fractional Differential Equation, Inclusions and Inequalities with Applications" of the journal Mathematics. This Special Issue presents recent developments in the theory of fractional differential equations and inequalities. Topics include but are not limited to the existence and uniqueness results for boundary value problems for different types of fractional differential equations, a variety of fractional inequalities, impulsive fractional differential equations, and applications in sciences and engineering

    Fractional Calculus - Theory and Applications

    Get PDF
    In recent years, fractional calculus has led to tremendous progress in various areas of science and mathematics. New definitions of fractional derivatives and integrals have been uncovered, extending their classical definitions in various ways. Moreover, rigorous analysis of the functional properties of these new definitions has been an active area of research in mathematical analysis. Systems considering differential equations with fractional-order operators have been investigated thoroughly from analytical and numerical points of view, and potential applications have been proposed for use in sciences and in technology. The purpose of this Special Issue is to serve as a specialized forum for the dissemination of recent progress in the theory of fractional calculus and its potential applications

    Existence theory for nonlocal boundary value problems involving mixed fractional derivatives

    In this paper, we develop the existence theory for a new kind of nonlocal three-point boundary value problems for differential equations and inclusions involving both left Caputo and right Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives. The Banach and Krasnoselskii fixed point theorems and the Leray–Schauder nonlinear alternative are used to obtain the desired results for the singlevalued problem. The existence of solutions for the multivalued problem concerning the upper semicontinuous and Lipschitz cases is proved by applying nonlinear alternative for Kakutani maps and Covitz and Nadler fixed point theorem. Examples illustrating the main results are also presented

    Fractional Calculus and Special Functions with Applications

    The study of fractional integrals and fractional derivatives has a long history, and they have many real-world applications because of their properties of interpolation between integer-order operators. This field includes classical fractional operators such as Riemann–Liouville, Weyl, Caputo, and Grunwald–Letnikov; nevertheless, especially in the last two decades, many new operators have also appeared that often define using integrals with special functions in the kernel, such as Atangana–Baleanu, Prabhakar, Marichev–Saigo–Maeda, and the tempered fractional equation, as well as their extended or multivariable forms. These have been intensively studied because they can also be useful in modelling and analysing real-world processes, due to their different properties and behaviours from those of the classical cases.Special functions, such as Mittag–Leffler functions, hypergeometric functions, Fox's H-functions, Wright functions, and Bessel and hyper-Bessel functions, also have important connections with fractional calculus. Some of them, such as the Mittag–Leffler function and its generalisations, appear naturally as solutions of fractional differential equations. Furthermore, many interesting relationships between different special functions are found by using the operators of fractional calculus. Certain special functions have also been applied to analyse the qualitative properties of fractional differential equations, e.g., the concept of Mittag–Leffler stability.The aim of this reprint is to explore and highlight the diverse connections between fractional calculus and special functions, and their associated applications

    On impulsive nonlocal integro-initial value problems involving multi-order Caputo-type generalized fractional derivatives and generalized fractional integrals

    In this paper, we present sufficient criteria ensuring the existence and uniqueness of solutions for nonlinear impulsive multi-order Caputo-type generalized fractional differential equations supplemented with nonlocal integro-initial value conditions involving generalized fractional integrals. Extremal solutions for the given problem are also discussed. The main tools of our study include Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem, Banach contraction mapping principle and monotone iterative technique. Examples are constructed for illustrating the obtained resultsThis project was funded by the Deanship of Scientific Research (DSR), King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia under grant no.

    Existence of solutions for a system of fractional boundary value problems

    We study the existence of solutions for a system of Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations with nonlinearities dependent of fractional integrals, supplemented with uncoupled nonlocal boundary conditions which contain various fractional derivatives and Riemann-Stieltjes integrals. We use the fixed point theory in the proof of our main theorems
