The theory and applications of fractional differential equa-tions (FDEs) are gaining more relevance since they are usedextensively in the modeling of various processes in physics,chemistry, engineering, and other areas of science. As it isknown, the behavior of dynamics of most complex systemsof the real world phenomena has memory. Therefore, themodeling of dynamics of these types of systems by FDEs hasmore advantages than the classical ones, in which such effectsare neglected. On the other hand, the time-scales formalismunifies the theories of difference and differential equations.Accordingly, the time-scales analysis constitutes a good toolto study both discrete and continuous systems.

Advanced analytical and numerical techniques and com-putational methods are of important interest for classical,fractional, fuzzy fractional, and time-scales differential equa-tions.

The papers of this special issue contain some new algo-rithms and techniques designed to investigate classical, frac-tional, fractal, fuzzy fractional, and time-scales differentialequations of general interest. New insights of existence anduniqueness theorems of some differential equations were alsopresented.

In the following we summarize briefly the content ofthe special issue. The second Noether theorem, the localobservability of systems, and the fractional Cauchy problemwithin Riemann-Liouville fractional delta derivative on timescales were reported and the solutions of fractional discretesystems with sequential h-differences were obtained. Besides,the oscillation criteria for fourth-order nonlinear dynamicequations on time scaleswere depicted. Local fractional series

expansion method for wave and diffusion equations andsome mappings for special functions on Cantor sets werepresented. Application of fuzzy fractional kinetic equationsto modeling of the acid hydrolysis reaction, the solutionsof linear fractional differential equations with uncertainty,and an operational matrix based on Legendre polynomialsfor solving fuzzy fractional-order differential equations werealso investigated. A class of fractional-order differentialmodels of biological systems with memory to model theinteraction of immune system with tumor cells and withHIV infection of CD4+ T-cells was reported. Fractional-order total variation image restoration based on primal-dualalgorithm and the fractional dynamics of genetic algorithmsusing hexagonal space tessellation were pointed out. Thepositive solution using bifurcation techniques for boundaryvalue problems of fractional differential equations was acontribution of our special issue. The existence results for aclass of fractional differential equations with boundary valueconditions and with delay, a modified generalized Laguerrespectral methods for fractional differential equations on thehalf line, a Jacobi collocation method for solving nonlin-ear Burgers-type equations, and new wavelets collocationmethod for solving second-order multipoint boundary valueproblems using Chebyshev polynomials of third and fourthkinds were shown. The investigation of the nonlinear frac-tional Jaulent-Miodek and Whitham-Broer-Kaup equationswithin Sumudu transform, the Bernstein operational matri-ces applied for solving the fractional quadratic Riccati dif-ferential equations, and the approximate solutions of Fisher’stype equations with variable coefficients are topics covered by

our special issue. Another part of contributionswas focussingon two efficient generalized Laguerre spectral algorithms forsome fractional initial value problems, the approximation ofeigenvalues of Sturm-Liouville problems by using Hermiteinterpolation and the presentation of the numerical solutionsof fractional Fokker-Planck equations by using the iterativeLaplace transform method.
