It is found that the scheme consisting of a second order or mixed second order earlier reaction and a reversible first order later one may feature a reactant with two extrema on its concentration–time trace. In such cases, the first extremum is always a maximum, and the second one is a minimum.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Chemistry","volume":"63 5","pages":"1323 - 1341"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10910-025-01726-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A weak singularity typically appears close to the initial time (<span>(t=0)</span>) in this problem’s solution, which reduces the accuracy of conventional numerical methods with uniform mesh. The technique of nonuniform mesh based on the solution’s acceptable regularity is a very efficient way to regain precision. In chemistry, these equations are often used to simulate intricate diffusion processes with memory effects, particularly whenever pattern formation, domain wall propagation in liquid crystals are involved. In the current study, we solve a time-fractional fourth-order partial differential equation with non-smooth solutions using the quintic trigonometric B-spline (QTBS) technique with temporally graded mesh. The stability and convergence of the proposed numerical scheme are discussed broadly, which illustrates clearly how the regularity of the solution and the mesh grading affect the order of convergence of the proposed scheme, allowing one to select the most effective mesh grading.

The non-integer order chemical clock reaction framework in terms of the Caputo operator is discussed in this paper. In this research work, fractional-order chemical clock reaction equations are addressed with the assistance of the Haar wavelet approach. To check that the obtained solutions are correct, the Adams–Bashforth–Moulton method is used. Also, we conducted a comparative study of the outcomes of the chemical clock reaction model with the spectral collocation technique. Further, the Haar wavelet operational matrix is derived to convert the set of differential equation transforms into a set of algebraic equations. This set of complex nonlinear equations is resolved by utilizing MATLAB (2023a). Moreover, the focus lies on the convergent analysis, stability analysis, and the existence and uniqueness of the obtained outcomes. Furthermore, error analysis by contrasting the Haar wavelet technique and the spectral collocation technique is also discussed. This work not only shows the efficiency of the Haar wavelet technique in exactly calculating the dynamics of the chemical clock reaction model but also provides some examination of the chemical clock reaction system. Convergence analysis tells us that <span>(leftVert e_mathfrak {M}(t) rightVert _2 = oleft( frac{1}{mathfrak {M}}right) .)</span> This implies that as <span>( mathfrak {M} )</span> increases, the error decreases. Specifically, for <span>( mathfrak {M} = 8 )</span>, the absolute error is approximately <span>( 0.125 )</span>, while for <span>( mathfrak {M} = 16 )</span> and <span>( mathfrak {M} = 32 )</span>, the errors reduce to <span>( 0.0625 )</span> and <span>( 0.03125 )</span>, respectively. The error analysis shows that the error between Haar wavelet method and Adams–Bashforth–Moulton method maintain a low error rate, often in the range of <span>( mathbf {10^{-4}} )</span> to <span>( mathbf {10^{-1}} )</span>, whereas the error between Spectral Collocation method and the Adams–Bashforth–Moulton method exhibit higher absolute errors, highlighting accuracy of the Haar wavelet approach. Additionally, the stability of the proposed method is theoretically established, ensuring that the solutions remain bounded within a well-defined range.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Chemistry","volume":"63 5","pages":"1241 - 1286"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have chosen mathematically and chemically interesting generalized Petersen graphs <i>G(n,k)</i> with floral symmetries, as they find several applications in dynamic stereochemistry and several other fields.

The modified method turned out to be more effective than the traditional one: the fact is that the modified method always works, while the traditional method is effective only for a small number of simple equations of state (EoS). The method has been tested for four popular EoS: the Lorentz EoS, the Van der Waals EoS, the Peng-Robinson EoS, and the Dieterici EoS. As a result, exact explicit ES formulas for gases obeying these EoS were derived. It was found that the ratio of the diffusion coefficient to the particle mobility coefficient depends not only on the gas temperature, but also on its concentration for all examples of gases.
