ADVANCES IN MATHEMATICAL MODELING: BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR FRACTIONAL FUNCTIONAL INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Li H. Zhang
The field of fractional calculus has seen remarkable developments in recent years, accompanied by the application of fractional differential equations in diverse domains such as automatic control theory, biology, and viscoelasticity. These equations offer a more accurate representation of real-world phenomena by considering not only the current state of a system but also its past state and the rate of state change. Functional differential equations, in particular, have found extensive applications in signal recognition, economics, physics, and other fields
ROOTS OF RICHES: HARNESSING CARBON-CENTRIC FOREST MANAGEMENT FOR DUAL GAINS IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
Wei X. Chen, Li H Zhangand, Xiaojie Y. Wang
With the escalating impacts of climate change on ecosystems, the imperative to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions has gained unprecedented significance. The President of the United Nations Climate Change Conference underscored the urgent need to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees Celsius and committed to reducing global CO2 emissions by nearly 50% by 2030. In light of this global commitment, the focus has shifted from solely reducing CO2 emissions to enhancing carbon sequestration as a critical strategy for environmental protection. Historically, the prevailing perspective centered on the necessity of curbing deforestation to achieve increased carbon sequestration. However, this...
