This article investigates sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the ψ-Hilfer sequential type pantograph fractional boundary value problem. Considering the system depends on a lower-order fractional derivative of an unknown function, the study is carried out in a special working space.

Finally, an example demonstrating our results with numerical simulations is presented.

Finally, several examples are provided to illustrate our findings.

Fractional periodic boundary value and Cauchy problems with Hilfer–Prabhakar operator

We introduce a successive approximations method to study one fractional periodic boundary value problem of the Hilfer-Prabhakar type. The problem is associated to the corresponding Cauchy problem, whose solution depends on an unknown initial value. To find this value we numerically solve the so-called ’determining system’ of algebraic or transcendental equations. As a result, we determine an approximate solution of the studied problem, written in a closed form. Finally, we evaluate efficiency of our method on a nonlinear numerical example.

Some Properties of a Falling Function and Related Inequalities on Green’s Functions

Asymmetry plays a significant role in the transmission dynamics in novel discrete fractional calculus. Few studies have mathematically modeled such asymmetry properties, and none have developed discrete models that incorporate different symmetry developmental stages. This paper introduces a Taylor monomial falling function and presents some properties of this function in a delta fractional model with Green’s function kernel. In the deterministic case, Green’s function will be non-negative, and this shows that the function has an upper bound for its maximum point. More precisely, in this paper, based on the properties of the Taylor monomial falling function, we investigate Lyapunov-type inequalities for a delta fractional boundary value problem of Riemann–Liouville type.

The goal of this study is to describe the class of modified Sehgal–Guseman-like contraction mappings and set up some fixed-point results in S-metric spaces. The class of generalized Sehgal–Guseman-like contraction mappings contains enhancements of Banach contractions, Kannan contractions, Chatterjee contractions, Chatterjee-type contractions, quasi-contractions, Ćirić–Reich–Rus-type contractions, Hardy–Rogers-type contractions, Reich-type contractions, interpolative Kannan contractions, interpolative Chatterjee contractions, among others, with their generalizations in S-metric spaces. We offer significant examples to substantiate the reliability of our results. This study also establishes consequential fixed-point results and applies them to nonlinear fractional differential equations and the boundary value problem for homogeneous transverse bars. At the end of the manuscript, we present an important open problem.

On Graphical Symmetric Spaces, Fixed-Point Theorems and the Existence of Positive Solution of Fractional Periodic Boundary Value Problems

The rationale of this work is to introduce the notion of graphical symmetric spaces and some fixed-point results are proved for H-(ϑ,φ)-contractions in this setting. The idea of graphical symmetric spaces generalizes various spaces equipped with a function which characterizes the distance between two points of the space. Some topological properties of graphical symmetric spaces are discussed. Some fixed-point results for the mappings defined on graphical symmetric spaces are proved. The fixed-point results of this paper generalize and extend several fixed-point results in this new setting. The main results of this paper are applied to obtain the positive solutions of fractional periodic boundary value problems.

This paper deals with fractional boundary value problems involving the Hilfer–Hadamard fractional differential operator of order [Formula: see text] and type [Formula: see text]. We derive the corresponding Lyapunov-type inequalities for two prominent classes of Hilfer–Hadamard fractional boundary value problems (HFBVPs) involving separated and anti-periodic boundary conditions. For this purpose, we construct the associated Green’s functions and deduce their important properties.

In this paper, by using the Ge and Ren extension of coincidence degree theory, we established the existence of a solution for a resonant mixed fractional order p-Laplacian boundary value problem (BVP) on the half-line. In the process, we solved the corresponding homogeneous fractional order BVP for conditions critical for resonance and showed that the operator A(x,λ)(t) constructed from the abstract equation Mx(t)=Nx(t) is relatively compact. The results are demonstrated with an example.

To analyze our findings effectively, we apply the Banach contraction fixed point theorem as the primary principle. Furthermore, we illustrate our results through the presentation of various examples.

Fractional Boundary Layer Flow: Lie Symmetry Analysis and Numerical Solution

In this paper, we present a fractional version of the Sakiadis flow described by a nonlinear two-point fractional boundary value problem on a semi-infinite interval, in terms of the Caputo derivative. We derive the fractional Sakiadis model by substituting, in the classical Prandtl boundary layer equations, the second derivative with a fractional-order derivative by the Caputo operator. By using the Lie symmetry analysis, we reduce the fractional partial differential equations to a fractional ordinary differential equation, and, then, a finite difference method on quasi-uniform grids, with a suitable variation of the classical L1 approximation formula for the Caputo fractional derivative, is proposed. Finally, highly accurate numerical solutions are reported.

Solve Riemann–Liouville boundary value problems using collocation boundary value methods with the graded mesh

The paper explores numerical approaches to a class of fractional boundary value problems that can be converted into Volterra integral equations with multiple singular kernels. We propose a collocation boundary value method with a graded mesh for the resulting weakly singular integral equations. Moreover, we demonstrate the local convergence property of the presented method using the Gronwall’s inequality. In addition, we assess the stability of the algorithm by examining the L2-norm of the approximate solution. It is found that the proposed collocation method exhibits both fast convergence order and good stability. The numerical experiments provide rigorous validation of the theoretical results.
