Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Integral inequalities have gained an increasingly important role in many domains of research arising from pure mathematics and applied mathematics, captivating a higher interest of researchers now than in the previous decades. The integral inequalities are closely related with the concept of convexity.The aim of this Special Issue is to extend the inequalities obtained in the frame of q-calculus, fractional calculus and their further generalizations and to find the new types of integral inequalities for the different types of convexities for the better understanding and unification of these recently developed theories. The theory of variational inequalities is closely related to convex analysis. The optimality conditions of the differentiable convex functions are characterized by the variational inequalities.Integral inequalities and especially Jensen’s inequality have a special importance in optimization and information theory, statistics, cryptography and many other areas of research. Applications of integral inequalities in operator theory and matrix inequality would also be of interest in the various areas of pure mathematics.The guest editors would like to provide a platform to present the latest advances in the many aspects of the theory of integral inequalities along with their recently developed applications.

In this article, we introduce, for the first time, multivariate symmetrized and perturbed hyperbolic tangent-activated convolution-type operators in three forms. We present their approximation properties, that is, their quantitative convergence to the unit operator via the multivariate modulus of continuity. We continue with the multivariate global smoothness preservation of these operators. We present, in detail, the related multivariate iterative approximation, as well as, multivariate simultaneous approximation, and their combinations. Using differentiability in our research, we produce higher rates of approximation, and multivariate simultaneous global smoothness preservation is also achieved. Full article

The extension of the concept of p-summability for linear operators to the context of Lipschitz operators on metric spaces has been extensively studied in recent years. This research primarily uses the linearization of the metric space M afforded by the associated Arens–Eells space, along with the duality between M and the metric dual space M# defined by the real-valued Lipschitz functions on M. However, alternative approaches to measuring distances between sequences of elements of metric spaces (essentially involved in the definition of p-summability) exist. One approach involves considering specific subsets of the unit ball of M# for computing the distances between sequences, such as the real Lipschitz functions derived from evaluating the difference in the values of the metric from two points to a fixed point. We introduce new notions of summability for Lipschitz operators involving such functions, which are characterized by integral dominations for those operators. To show the applicability of our results, in the last part of this paper, we use the theoretical tools obtained in the first part to analyze metric graphs. In particular, we show new results on the behavior of numerical indices defined on these graphs satisfying certain conditions of summability and symmetry. Full article

Integral inequalities with generalized convexity play a vital role in both theoretical and applied mathematics. The theory of integral inequalities is one of the branches of mathematics that is now developing at the quickest rate due to its wide range of applications. We define a new Hermite–Hadamard inequality for the novel class of coordinated ƛ-pre-invex fuzzy number-valued mappings (C-ƛ-pre-invex FNVMs) and examine the idea of C-ƛ-pre-invex FNVMs in this paper. Furthermore, using C-ƛ-pre-invex FNVMs, we construct several new integral inequalities for fuzzy double Riemann integrals. Several well-known results, as well as recently discovered results, are included in these findings as special circumstances. We think that the findings in this work are new and will help to stimulate more research in this area in the future. Additionally, unique choices lead to new outcomes. Full article

In this paper, by using q-integers and higher-order generalized Fibonacci numbers, we define the higher-order generalized Fibonacci quaternions with q-integer components. We give some special cases of these newly established quaternions. This article examines q-calculus and quaternions together. We obtain a Binet-like formula, some new identities, a generating function, a recurrence relation, an exponential generating function, and sum properties of quaternions with quantum integer coefficients. In addition, we obtain some new identities for these types of quaternions by using three new special matrices. Full article

The correct derivation of integral inequalities on fuzzy-number-valued mappings depends on applying fractional calculus to fuzzy number analysis. The purpose of this article is to introduce a new class of convex mappings and generalize various previously published results on the fuzzy number and interval-valued mappings via fuzzy-order relations using fuzzy coordinated ỽ-convexity mappings so that the new version of the well-known Hermite–Hadamard (H-H) inequality can be presented in various variants via the fractional integral operators (Riemann–Liouville). Some new product forms of these inequalities for coordinated ỽ-convex fuzzy-number-valued mappings (coordinated ỽ-convex FNVMs) are also discussed. Additionally, we provide several fascinating non-trivial examples and exceptional cases to show that these results are accurate. Full article

This paper aims to introduce a new fractional extension of the interval Hermite–Hadamard (HH), HH–Fejér, and Pachpatte-type inequalities for left- and right-interval-valued harmonically convex mappings (LRIVH convex mappings) with an exponential function in the kernel. We use fractional operators to develop several generalizations, capturing unique outcomes that are currently under investigation, while also introducing a new operator. Generally, we propose two methods that, in conjunction with more generalized fractional integral operators with an exponential function in the kernel, can address certain novel generalizations of increasing mappings under the assumption of LRIV convexity, yielding some noteworthy results. The results produced by applying the suggested scheme show that the computational effects are extremely accurate, flexible, efficient, and simple to implement in order to explore the path of upcoming intricate waveform and circuit theory research.

This paper concerns control BVPs, driven by ODEs xt=ut, using controls u0· &u1· in L1a,b,R2. We ask these two controls to satisfy a very simple restriction: at points where their first coordinates coincide, also their second coordinates must coincide; which allows one to write (u1u0)·=v·1,f· for some f·. Given a relaxed non bang-bang solution x¯·W1,1a,b,R2, a question relevant to applications was first posed three decades ago by A. Cellina: does there exist a bang-bang solution x^· having lower first-coordinate x^1·x¯1·? Being the answer always yes in dimension d=1, hence without f·, as proved by Amar and Cellina, for d=2 the problem is to find out which functions f· “are good”, namely “allow such 1-lower bang-bang solution x^· to exist”. The aim of this paper is to characterize “goodness of f·” geometrically, under “good data”. We do it so well that a simple computational app in a smartphone allows one to easily determine whether an explicitly given f· is good. For example: non-monotonic functions tend to be good; while, on the contrary, strictly monotonic functions are never good. Full article

In this paper, we derive a new generic equality for the first-order differentiable functions. Through the utilization of the general identity and convex functions, we produce a family of upper bounds for numerous integral inequalities like Ostrowski’s inequality, trapezoidal inequality, midpoint inequality, Simpson’s inequality, Newton-type inequalities, and several two-point open trapezoidal inequalities. Also, we provide the numerical and visual explanation of our principal findings. Later, we provide some novel applications to the theory of means, special functions, error bounds of composite quadrature schemes, and parametric iterative schemes to find the roots of linear functions. Also, we attain several already known and new bounds for different values of γ and parameter ξ. Full article

Convex inequalities and fuzzy-valued calculus converge to form a comprehensive mathematical framework that can be employed to understand and analyze a broad spectrum of issues. This paper utilizes fuzzy Aumman’s integrals to establish integral inequalities of Hermite-Hahadard, Fejér, and Pachpatte types within up and down (U·D) relations and over newly defined class U·D-ħ-Godunova–Levin convex fuzzy-number mappings. To demonstrate the unique properties of U·D-relations, recent findings have been developed using fuzzy Aumman’s, as well as various other fuzzy partial order relations that have notable deficiencies outlined in the literature. Several compelling examples were constructed to validate the derived results, and multiple notes were provided to illustrate, depending on the configuration, that this type of integral operator generalizes several previously documented conclusions. This endeavor can potentially advance mathematical theory, computational techniques, and applications across various fields. Full article
