In this paper, the important aspects of vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as nano-resonators are studied. This study has covered the important nonlinear phenomena such as jump super-harmonic and chaotic behavior. CNT is modeled by using the modified nonlocal theory (MNT).

In previous research studies, the effects of CNT’s rotary inertia, stiffness and shear modulus of the medium were neglected. So by considering these terms in MNT, a comprehensive model of vibrational behavior of carbon nanotube as a nanosensor is presented. The nanotube is modeled as a nonlocal nonlinear beam. The first eigenmode of an undamped simply supported beam is used to extract the nonlinear equation of CNT. Harmonic balance method is used to solve the equation, while to study its super-harmonic behavior, higher-order harmonic terms were used.

In light of frequency response equation, jump phenomenon and chaotic behavior of the nanotube with respect to the amplitude of excitation are investigated. Also in each section of the study, the effects of elastic medium and nonlocal parameters on the vibration behavior of nanotube are investigated. Furthermore, parts of the results in linear and nonlinear cases were compared with results of other references.

The present modification of the nonlocal theory is so important and useful for accurate investigation of the vibrational behavior of nano structures such as a nano-resonator.

This paper aims to study the complex behavior of a dynamical system using fractional and fractal-fractional (FF) derivative operators. The non-classical derivatives are extremely useful for investigating the hidden behavior of the systems. The Atangana–Baleanu (AB) and Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) derivatives are considered for the fractional structure of the model. Further, to add more complexity, the authors have taken the system with a CF fractal-fractional derivative having an exponential kernel. The active control technique is also considered for chaos control.

The systems under consideration are solved numerically. The authors show the Adams-type predictor-corrector scheme for the AB model and the Adams–Bashforth scheme for the CF model. The convergence and stability results are given for the numerical scheme. A numerical scheme for the FF model is also presented. Further, an active control scheme is used for chaos control and synchronization of the systems.

Simulations of the obtained solutions are displayed via graphics. The proposed system exhibits a very complex phenomenon known as chaos. The importance of the fractional and fractal order can be seen in the presented graphics. Furthermore, chaos control and synchronization between two identical fractional-order systems are achieved.

This paper mentioned the complex behavior of a dynamical system with fractional and fractal-fractional operators. Chaos control and synchronization using active control are also described.

The purpose of this paper is to apply an efficient hybrid computational numerical technique, namely, q-homotopy analysis Sumudu transform method (q-HASTM) and residual power series method (RPSM) for finding the analytical solution of the non-linear time-fractional Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV (HS-cKdV) equations.

The proposed technique q-HASTM is the graceful amalgamations of q-homotopy analysis method with Sumudu transform via Caputo fractional derivative, whereas RPSM depend on generalized formula of Taylors series along with residual error function.

To illustrate and validate the efficiency of the proposed technique, the authors analyzed the projected non-linear coupled equations in terms of fractional order. Moreover, the physical behavior of the attained solution has been captured in terms of plots and by examining the L₂ and L_∞ error norm for diverse value of fractional order.

The authors implemented two technique, q-HASTM and RPSM to obtain the solution of non-linear time-fractional HS-cKdV equations. The obtained results and comparison between q-HASTM and RPSM, shows that the proposed methods provide the solution of non-linear models in form of a convergent series, without using any restrictive assumption. Also, the proposed algorithm is easy to implement and highly efficient to analyze the behavior of non-linear coupled fractional differential equation arisen in various area of science and engineering.

Investigation of the smoking model is important as it has a direct effect on human health. This paper focuses on the numerical analysis of the fractional order giving up smoking model. Nonetheless, due to observational or experimental errors, or any other circumstance, it may contain some incomplete information. Fuzzy sets can be used to deal with uncertainty. Yet, there may be some inconsistency in the membership as well. As a result, the primary goal of this proposed work is to numerically solve the model in a type-2 fuzzy environment.

Triangular perfect quasi type-2 fuzzy numbers (TPQT2FNs) are used to deal with the uncertainty in the model. In this work, concepts of r2-cut at r1-plane are used to model the problem's uncertain parameter. The Legendre wavelet method (LWM) is then utilised to solve the giving up smoking model in a type-2 fuzzy environment.

LWM has been effectively employed in conjunction with the r2-cut at r1-plane notion of type-2 fuzzy sets to solve the model. The LWM has the advantage of converting the non-linear fractional order model into a set of non-linear algebraic equations. LWM scheme solutions are found to be well agreed with RK4 scheme solutions. The existence and uniqueness of the model's solution have also been demonstrated.

To deal with the uncertainty, type-2 fuzzy numbers are used. The use of LWM in a type-2 fuzzy uncertain environment to achieve the model's required solutions is quite fascinating, and this is the key focus of this work.

Fractional calculus provides powerful tool to build more realistic and accurate mathematical models in economic field. This paper aims to explore a proposed fractional-order differentiated Cournot duopoly game and its discretized game.

Conditions for existence and uniqueness of the proposed game’s solution are derived. The existence of Nash equilibrium point and its local and global stability are obtained. Furthermore, local stability analysis of the discretized game is investigated.

The results demonstrated that the stability Nash equilibrium point of the game can be lost by period doubling or Neimark–Sacker bifurcations.

The purpose of this paper is to consider the time-splitting Fourier spectral (TSFS) method to solve the fractional coupled Klein–Gordon–Schrödinger (K-G-S) equations. A time-splitting spectral approach is applied for discretizing the Schrödinger-like equation and along with that, a pseudospectral discretization has been accurately utilized for the temporal derivatives in the Klein–Gordon-like equation. Furthermore, the time-splitting scheme is proved to be unconditionally stable. Numerical experiments guarantee high accuracy of the TSFS scheme for the K-G-S equations. Here, the derivative of fractional order is taken in the Riesz sense.

The focus of this paper is to study the Riesz fractional coupled K-G-S equations using the TSFS method. This method is dependent on evaluating the solution to the given problem in small steps, and treating the nonlinear and linear steps separately. The nonlinear step is made in the time domain, while the linear step is made in the frequency domain, which necessitates the use of Fourier transform back and forth. It is a very effective, powerful and efficient method to solve the nonlinear differential equations, as in previous works (Bao et al., 2002; Bao and Yang, 2007; Muslu and Erbay, 2003; Borluk et al., 2007), the initial and boundary-value problem is decomposed into linear and nonlinear subproblems. Summarizing the technique of the TSFS method, it can be stated that first the Schrödinger-like equation is solved in two splitting steps. Then, the Klein–Gordon-like equation is solved by discretizing the spatial derivatives by means of the pseudospectral method.

The utilized method is found to be very efficient and accurate. Moreover, the time-splitting spectral scheme is found to be unconditionally stable. By means of thorough study, it is found that the spectral method is time-reversible, is gauge-invariant and also conserves the total charge. Moreover, the results have been graphically presented to exhibit the accuracy of the proposed methods. Apart from that, the numerical solutions have been also compared with the exact solutions. Numerical experiments establish that the proposed technique manifests high accuracy and efficiency.

To the authors’ best knowledge, the Riesz fractional coupled K-G-S equations have been for the first time solved by using the TSFS method.

This paper aims to use a fractional constitutive model with a nonlocal velocity gradient for replacing the nonlinear constitutive model to characterize its complex rheological behavior, where non-linear characteristics exist, for example, the inherent viscous behavior of the crude oil. The feasibility and flexibility of the fractional model are tested via a case study of non-Newtonian fluid. The finite element method is non-Newtonian used to numerically solve both momentum equation and energy equation to describe the fluid flow and convection heat transfer process.

This paper provides a comprehensive theoretical and numerical study of flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian fluids in a pipe based on the fractional constitutive model. Contrary to fractional order a, the rheological property of non-Newtonian fluid changes from shear-thinning to shear-thickening with the increase of power-law index n, therefore the flow and heat transfer are hindered to some extent.

This paper discusses two dimensionless parameters on flow regime and thermal patterns, including Reynolds number (Re) and Nusselt number (Nu) in evaluating the flow rate and heat transfer rate. Analysis results show that the viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid decreases with the rheological index (order α) increasing. While large fractional (order α) corresponds to the enhancement of heat transfer capacity.

First, it is observed that the increase of the Re results in an increase of the local Nusselt number (Nul). It means the heat transfer enhancement ratio increases with Re. Meanwhile, the increasement of the Nul indicating the enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient, produces a higher speed flow of crude oil.

This study presents a new numerical investigation on characteristics of steady-state pipe flow and forced convection heat transfer by using a fractional constitutive model. The influences of various non-dimensional characteristic parameters of fluid on the velocity and temperature fields are analyzed in detail.
