The Caputo technique is used in this article to analyze the fractional-order predator–prey scenario. Incorporating a delayed carrying capacity for the prey population and posing the impact of individual prey fear on predators are two aspects of this. We first provide the model’s formulation in terms of an integer order derivative, and subsequently we expand it to a fractional order system in terms of the Caputo derivative. The article contains a number of conclusions about the prerequisites for the model’s existence and uniqueness as well as the restrictions on the boundedness and positivity of the solution. To satisfy the requirements for the existence and uniqueness of the precise solution, the Lipschitz condition is applied. Within the local context, we have examined the stability of equilibrium points. Additionally, we investigated whether Hopf bifurcation may occur at the interior equilibrium point of our suggested model. We have used the Generalised Euler technique to approximatively solve the model. The suggested scheme’s dependability is indicated by the fact that the results produced using the current numerical approach converge to equilibrium for the fractional order. For our research, MATLAB was used to enable graphical representations and numerical simulations.

The modified Burger’s equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation that has numerous applications across physics and engineering. This paper presents a numerical solution approach by combining the method of lines and cubic B-Spline interpolation for the modified Burger’s equation. By discretizing the spatial domain into grid points via the cubic B-splines, the given PDE is transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), facilitating approximation of the solution. The resulting ODE system is then numerically solved via the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. Stability and convergence analyses of the scheme are also conducted. A comprehensive numerical analysis of the scheme with a comparison against previously published results in the literature is presented. This study enriches the field of computational mathematics by exploring cubic B-spline interpolation within the context of the method of lines for solving both linear and nonlinear partial differential equations.

The optimal control of fractional PDEs has been extensively studied in standard domains, but the existence and uniqueness of optimal controls in metric graphs, particularly for hyperbolic equations, remain less explored. Most studies focus on classical damping (e.g., viscous damping) or integer-order damping in hyperbolic problems, whereas the impact of fractional-order damping on control and optimization in metric graphs has received limited attention. Given the potential applications of these results to real-world problems such as pollution transport in river networks, traffic flow control, and heat propagation in branched structures, this presents a significant and promising research gap. This paper addresses a quadratic control problem involving a damped linear fractional hyperbolic equation subject to Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The considered fractional derivative is a composition of the right Caputo fractional derivative and the left Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. We first give some existence and uniqueness results on an open bounded real interval, prove the existence of solutions to a quadratic optimal control problem and provide a characterization via optimality systems. We then investigate the analogous problems for a fractional Damped hyperbolic problem on a metric graph with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary controls. The paper’s motivation likely arises from the desire to advance mathematical theory and control theory, especially in the context of complex systems represented by metric graphs. The potential impact or applications of these results span a wide range of fields, from engineering and network control to medical imaging and environmental science, where understanding and optimizing damped hyperbolic systems are essential.

This study presents a theoretical and mathematical framework for developing a dimensionless model to enhance the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through (botanical) biofiltration in indoor environments. Although biofiltration is a promising strategy for the control of indoor air pollution, the precise mechanism of VOC removal remains not well understood. The proposed model is formulated using nonlinear differential equations under specified boundary conditions to represent biofilm mass balance concentrations. To obtain approximate solutions, Homotopy perturbation and Akbari-Ganji analytical techniques are applied. In addition, numerical simulations are performed using MATLAB® and compared with analytical results to validate precision. The findings indicate that optimizing the biofilm thickness and reaction rates significantly enhances the removal efficiency of VOCs. Improves understanding of the behavior of biofilms through advanced mathematical analysis, contributing to the development of more effective biofiltration strategies for improved indoor air quality management.

The line search methods for optimization problems have garnered widespread adoption across various domains and applications, primarily due to their effectiveness in addressing intricate problems. An important component that ensures the success of various iterative algorithms is the search direction () while the step-size () ensures global convergence in different schemes. While the literature offers general guidelines for line search selection, few studies investigate how specific problem constraints impact the performance of optimization methods. This paper presents a comprehensive survey and classification of line search methods, focusing on their computational efficiency and performance under varied problem constraints. We examine the influence of different line search parameters across standard test functions through extensive numerical tests. Our findings suggest practical guidelines for selecting suitable line search methods based on problem characteristics, offering researchers insights into method suitability, and contributing to the significant practical application of optimization in diverse fields.

The spread of invasive species poses a significant challenge to native biodiversity and ecosystem stability. An optimal control strategies to minimize the negative impacts of invasive species populations on native species and the ecosystem must be done in order to preserve the diversity in the ecosystem. This study proposes an optimal control framework to mitigate the impact of invasive species by enhancing native species preservation through a reaction–diffusion mathematical model. To solve the system efficiently, a restarting Physics-Informed Neural Network (r-PINN) is employed and benchmarked against the basic PINN. Numerical simulations reveal that r-PINN achieves a reduced training duration of 236.17 s compared to 289.18 s for the basic PINN, representing an 18.32% improvement in computational efficiency. Moreover, r-PINN demonstrates enhanced predictive accuracy, reducing the mean absolute error (MAE) by 4.12%, mean squared error (MSE) training loss by 12.04%, and MSE test loss by 5.11%. These results were validated against the Finite Difference Method (FDM), ensuring correctness of the proposed PINN-based approach. The implementation of the optimal control strategy led to a clear increase in native species populations and effective suppression of invasive species across spatial and temporal domains. Overall, the r-PINN framework offers a reliable and computationally efficient tool for solving nonlinear ecological models involving spatiotemporal control of species populations.

Understanding the state of the world economy is improved by forecasting the price from oil industry. The field of crude oil price forecasting have recently heard about the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and fuzzy TOPSIS (FTOPSIS) techniques; while choosing the crude oil that counteract in global oil spill reactions. A multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) challenge has to weight several options according to various criteria. The present study, initially describes type-1 FTOPSIS technique. Secondly, it describes its extension to handle the uncertain data, known as type-1 FTOPSIS technique in multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM). Thirdly, it also describes type-1 FTOPSIS for group decision-making (DM) to rating the response choices to a simulated crude oil price, which is one of the biggest crude oil reservoirs in the world. The outcome demonstrates the type-1 fuzzy TOPSIS framework for determining the optimal solution by considering the crude oil globally.

Women's empowerment is essential for fostering inclusive and sustainable development. In India, self-help groups are widely recognised as an effective strategy not only for women's empowerment but also tackling poverty. The main objective of the study is to assess factors that influence women's participation in self-help groups (SHGs) and ascertain its impact on social and economic empowerment. The study was done in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha, India. Primary data have been collected from female respondents of SHGs, members and non-members. Logit regression model has been used to explain the factors influencing women's involvement in self-help groups and empowerment index has been developed to assess how SHGs affect women's empowerment. The findings indicates that age, family structure, access to credit, community participation, and land ownership, significantly affect women's participation in SHGs.

The transportation problem is an essential branch of mathematics that industries use to minimize costs. The transportation problem is an optimization technique suitably modeled using linear programming. To obtain an optimal solution to the transportation problem, first compute the initial basic feasible solution, which is then subsequently optimized. Several algorithms, like Vogel’s approximation method, maximum difference extreme difference method, demand-based allocation method, and others, are used in literature to determine the initial basic feasible solution to these transportation problems. This paper proposes a robust algorithm that can produce an initial basic feasible solution asymptotic to the optimal solution. The study further carried out a performance analysis by comparing the proposed algorithm’s results with those of some existing algorithms. The observation was that the proposed algorithm in many cases produced an optimal initial basic feasible solution (IBFS) for both balanced and unbalanced transportation problems and also tend to have a very high average of correctness percentage compared to some existing algorithms.
