‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider a new study about fractional $Delta$-difference equations‎. ‎We consider two special classes of Sturm-Liouville problems equipped with fractional $Delta$-difference operators‎. ‎In couple of steps‎, ‎the Lyapunov type inequalities for both classes will be obtained‎. ‎As application‎, ‎some qualitative behaviour of mentioned fractional problems such as stability‎, ‎...

Bouncing locomotion is used frequently in the animal kingdom for high-speed movement over land. Animals also change their stiffness and shape to improve their locomotion ability. Both bouncing movement and stiffnessand shape-changing capabilities have been recently explored in robotics. In this article, a novel soft locomotion robot, VibroBot, is presented, capable of moving using a bouncing ga...

The method of Unrestricted Harmonic Balance (UHB) as exposed and applied to purely t imedependent systems, stiff systems, and chemical waves in the preceding 3 papers is extended to the case of transcendental functions. So, e.g., exponential functions even in mass action kinetics systems occur, if a wider range of temperature is considered as is the case in continuous stirred tank reactors (CST...

We introduce analog integrated circuits that imitate a typical model of a reaction diffusion system, called the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. The BZ reaction gives us many insights into developing new architectures based on a new computing paradigm such as in active wave computing. The analog unit circuit exhibits both excitatory and oscillatory behaviors with very stiff responses, as obs...

A stiff one-armed swimmer in glycerine goes nowhere, but if its arm is elastic, exerting a restorative torque proportional to local curvature, the swimmer can go on its way. Considering this happy consequence and the principles of elasticity, we study a hyperdiffusion equation for the shape of the elastica in viscous flow, find solutions for impulsive or oscillatory forcing, and elucidate relev...

The time-step in integration process has two restrictions. The first one is the time step restriction due to accuracy requirement τac and the second one is the time-step restriction due to stability requirement τst. The most of explicit methods have small stability regions and consequently small τst. It obliges us to solve stiff problems with small step size τst << τac. The implicit methods wor...

Stiff behavior occurs in a variety of ODE systems relevant in applications. The notion of stiffness is a phenomenological one, and a stability and error analysis of numerical methods has been based either on simple models or particular problem structures. In particular, stiff initial value problems in standard singular perturbation form are well understood. However, problems of this type exhibi...

In this paper we develop an efficient method based on the Spectral Collocation Method (SCM) and the Variational Iteration Method (VIM) that can be used for the efficient numerical solution of nonlinear stiff/nonstiff two-point Boundary Value Problems (BVPs). The method derived here has the advantage that it does not require the solution of nonlinear systems of equations. We derive the method wh...

We show that there exist classes of explicit numerical integration methods that can handle very stiff problems if the eigenvalues are separated into two clusters, one containing the “stiff,” or fast, components, and one containing the slow components. These methods have large average step sizes relative to the fast components. Conventional implicit methods involve the solution of nonlinear equa...
