A Fractional Framework for Modeling Malicious Code Spread in Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper develops a fractional six-compartment model to describe malware spread in wireless sensor networks. To represent actual network activity, the model is constructed using generalized proportional-Caputo operators that incorporate memory and tempering effects. The existence and uniqueness of solutions are proved by applying fixed-point theorems. The stability of the system is then studied using the Ulam–Hyers approach and its extended form. A fractional Adams predictor–corrector method is employed to illustrate the dynamics. The results suggest that memory and tempering play an important role in shaping infection patterns, and they indicate that fractional calculus can provide a useful framework for studying and managing malware in distributed sensor networks.

ENHANCED HERMITE–HADAMARD INEQUALITIES FOR INTERVAL–VALUED FUNCTIONS VIA GENERALIZED FRACTIONAL OPERATORS AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK PREDICTIONS
In this study we explore the development of a branch of the theory of fractional integration by presenting a new methodological framework based on generalized fractional integrals, focusing on interval functions. This framework enables the more systematic and clear derivation of advanced Hermit-Hadamard inequalities suitable for convex functions. This work integrates Riemann-Liouville fractional inequalities with the classical form of Hermit-Hadamard inequalities for LR convex functions within a unified structure, eliminating the need for separate case studies or independent proofs for each inequality. This research also extends to the development of new Hermite-Hadamard inequalities targeting LR convex functions with interval values, further increasing the comprehensiveness of this proposed framework. The theoretical results obtained in this research are validated through discussions on examples and illustrations that show their application in the field of fractional integration inequalities. Artificial neural networks were also used in this research to correctly forecast the boundaries associated with inequalities in this field, increasing the reliability of this research's results.

Fractional Modeling and Dynamic Analysis of COVID-19 Transmission with Computational Simulations
Most existing fractional models of COVID-19 describe only the infection process without explicitly accounting for the role of vaccination. In this study, a refined Caputo fractional model is proposed that incorporates a vaccinated class to better understand how immunization influences disease progression. The mathematical formulation guarantees the existence, uniqueness, and positivity of solutions, ensuring that all system trajectories remain biologically valid. The equilibrium points are obtained, and the reproduction number is derived to identify the conditions for disease control. The stability investigation covers local behavior alongside Ulam–Hyers and its extended variants, ensuring the system remains stable under small perturbations. Numerical experiments performed with the Adams–Bashforth–Moulton algorithm illustrate that vaccination reduces infection peaks and shortens the epidemic duration. Overall, the proposed framework enriches fractional epidemiological modeling by providing deeper insight into the combined effects of memory and vaccination in controlling infectious diseases.

Exploring Advanced Weighted Integral Inequalities via Extended Fractional Calculus Approaches
This paper investigates weighted Milne-type () inequalities within the context of Riemann–Liouville () fractional integrals. We establish multiple versions of these inequalities, applicable to different function categories, such as convex functions with differentiability properties, bounded functions, functions satisfying Lipschitz conditions, and those exhibiting bounded variation behavior. In particular, we present integral equalities that are essential to establish the main results, using non-negative weighted functions. The findings contribute to the extension of existing inequalities in the literature and provide a deeper understanding of their applications in fractional calculus. This work highlights the advantage of the established inequalities in extending classical results by accommodating a broader class of functions and yielding sharper bounds. It also explores potential directions for future research inspired by these findings.- 7 August 2025

Development of Fractional Newton-Type Inequalities Through Extended Integral Operators
This paper introduces a new class of Newton-type inequalities (NTIs) within the framework of extended fractional integral operators. This study begins by establishing a fundamental identity for generalized fractional Riemann–Liouville (FR-L) operators, which forms the basis for deriving various inequalities under different assumptions on the integrand. In particular, fractional counterparts of the classical and Simpson rules are obtained when the modulus of the first derivative is convex. The analysis is further extended to include functions that satisfy a Lipschitz condition or have bounded first derivatives. Moreover, an additional NTI is presented for functions of bounded variation, expressed in terms of their total variation. In all scenarios, the proposed results reduce to classical inequalities when the fractional parameters are specified accordingly, thus offering a unified perspective on numerical integration through fractional operators.- 4 July 2025

Exploring Climate-Induced Oxygen–Plankton Dynamics Through Proportional–Caputo Fractional Modeling
In this work, we develop and analyze a novel fractional-order framework to investigate the interactions among oxygen, phytoplankton, and zooplankton under changing climatic conditions. Unlike standard integer-order formulations, our model incorporates a Proportional–Caputo fractional derivative, allowing the system dynamics to capture non-local influences and memory effects over time. Initially, we rigorously verify that a unique solution exists by suitable fixed-point theorems, demonstrating that the proposed fractional system is both well-defined and robust. We then derive stability criteria to ensure Ulam–Hyers stability (UHS), confirming that small perturbations in initial states lead to bounded variations in long-term behavior. Additionally, we explore extended UHS to assess sensitivity against time-varying parameters. Numerical simulations illustrate the role of fractional-order parameters in shaping oxygen availability and plankton populations, highlighting critical shifts in system trajectories as the order of differentiation approaches unity.- 17 March 2025

A Novel Fractional Model Combined with Numerical Simulation to Examine the Impact of Lockdown on COVID-19 Spread
One of the best procedures for preventing the spread of the coronavirus is a lockdown, if it is implemented correctly. In order to assess how well lockdowns prevent the virus’s propagation, this paper presents a fractional-order mathematical model constructed by the proportional-Caputo operator. This model consists of five nonlinear fractional-order differential equations. The solution’s existence and uniqueness are investigated using the Schauder and Banach fixed-point theorems. Also, this study produces a stability analysis utilizing Ulam–Hyers and modified Ulam–Hyers criteria. Furthermore, the Adams–Bashforth–Moulton approach is used to implement numerical simulations that show how the model behaves with different parameter combinations and to validate the theoretical results.

Novel Ostrowski–Type Inequalities for Generalized Fractional Integrals and Diverse Function Classes
In this work, novel Ostrowski-type inequalities for dissimilar function classes and generalized fractional integrals (FITs) are presented. We provide a useful identity for differentiable functions under FITs, which results in special expressions for functions whose derivatives have convex absolute values. A new condition for bounded variation functions is examined, as well as expansions to bounded and Lipschitzian derivatives. Our comprehension is improved by comparison with current findings, and recommendations for future study areas are given.

On Generalized Lipschitzian Semitopological Semigroup of Self-Mappings With Applications
In this paper, we use a generalized Lipschitzian type condition for a semigroup of self-mappings as employed in Imdad and Soliman (Fixed Point Theory Appl. Vol. (2010), Article ID 692401, 1-14) to prove a fixed point theorem for a generalized Lipschitzian left reversible semitopological semigroup of self-mappings defined on a p-uniformly convex Banach space, besides indicating some possible applications to our main result. Our results generalize and extend some results due to J. S. Jung and B. S. Thakur (Inter. Jour. Math. Math. Sci., 28 (1)(2001), 41-50). 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 47H10, 54H25
