Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mathematics has undoubtedly undergone diversification through the incorporation of new theories and techniques. Theories for which the application was not initially clear are now used to solve multiple theoretical–practical problems. Therefore, it makes sense to provide a space for the publication of research articles associated with discrete mathematics, graph theory, topological indices, domination theory, polynomials in graphs, Gromov's hyperbolicity, complex systems, discrete geometry, differential equations, fractional differential equations, fractional integral operators, and discrete and fractional inequalities, as well as complex analysis, boundary value problems, and singular integral equations.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present a platform for the publication of articles on theoretical developments and their applications in different areas of human knowledge, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and economics.

The edge DP-chromatic number of G, denoted by χDP(G), is the minimum k such that G is edge DP-k-colorable. In 1999, Juvan, Mohar, and Thomas proved that the edge list chromatic number of K4-minor free graph G with Δ3 is Δ. In this paper, we prove that if G is a K4-minor free graph, then χDP(G){Δ,Δ+1}, and equality χDP(G)=Δ+1 holds for some K4-minor free graph G with Δ=3. Moreover, if G is a planar graph with Δ9 and with no intersecting triangles, then χDP(G)=Δ. Full article

We present a two-country model (North and South) that describes the phenomenon of offshoring and reshoring. The model is a continuous time-controlled Markov chain with binary states. The main trade-off involves production costs and transaction costs between one country and another. In the first part of this paper, we identify the key parameters of the model: the difference in unit production costs between the two countries considered, the marginal cost of transitioning between countries, and the incentive paid by the North country to all companies that have not relocated at the end of the planning interval. The final goal of our paper is to understand how national tax incentives can influence this process. Full article

In existing models with an unknown link function, the issue of predictors containing both multiple functional data and multiple scalar data has not been studied. To fill this gap, we propose a generalized partially functional linear model, which not only models the relationship between multiple scalar and functional predictors and responses, but also automatically estimates the link function. Specifically, we use the functional principal component analysis method to reduce the dimensionality of functional predictors, estimate the regression coefficients using the maximum likelihood estimation method, estimate the link function using the method of local linear regression, iteratively obtain the final estimator, and establish the asymptotic normality of the estimator. The asymptotic normality is illustrated through simulation experiments. Finally, the proposed model is applied to study the influence of environmental, economic, and medical levels on life expectancy in China. In the study, functional predictors are the daily air quality index, temperature, and humidity of 58 cities in 2020, and scalar predictors are GDP and the number of beds in hospitals. The experimental results indicate that the unknown link function model has a smaller prediction error and better performance than both the model with the known link function and the model without a link function.

The boundary integral equation defining the interface function for a curved solid/liquid phase transition boundary is analytically solved in steady-state growth conditions. This solution describes dendrite tips evolving in undercooled melts with a constant crystallization velocity, which is the sum of the steady-state and translational velocities. The dendrite tips in the form of a parabola, paraboloid, and elliptic paraboloid are considered. Taking this solution into account, we obtain the modified boundary integral equation describing the evolution of the patterns and dendrites in undercooled binary melts. Our analysis shows that dendritic tips always evolve in a steady-state manner when considering a kinetically controlled crystallization scenario. The steady-state growth velocity as a factor that is dependent on the melt undercooling, solute concentration, atomic kinetics, and other system parameters is derived. This expression can be used for determining the selection constant of the stable dendrite growth mode in the case of kinetically controlled crystallization. Full article

The clustering coefficient of a vertex v, of degree at least 2, in a graph Γ is obtained using the formula C(v)=2t(v)deg(v)(deg(v)1), where t(v) denotes the number of triangles of the graph containing v as a vertex, and the clustering coefficient of Γ is defined as the average of the clustering coefficient of all vertices of Γ, that is, C(Γ)=1|V|vVC(v), where V is the vertex set of the graph. In this paper, we give explicit expressions for the clustering coefficient of corona and lexicographic products, as well as for the Cartesian sum; such expressions are given in terms of the order and size of factors, and the degree and number of triangles of vertices in each factor.
