Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be devoted to publishing papers with significant results in classical and applied mathematics. The theme of this Special Issue is expansive and can be approached from any mathematical point of view. Progress within mathematics is based on innovative ideas, comprising a kind of cycle that starts from an identified need to develop a solution. First of all, that need is transformed into a problem that must be clearly defined in order to find a solution.

In classical mathematics, many computations are involved and domains are used (including in algebra, geometry, classical logic, set theory, mathematical analyses, statistic, etc.). Applied mathematics focuses on mathematical principles and involves the application of mathematics to problems that arise in various areas, such as engineering or other domains of science or life. All these inform the development of new or improved methods that allow us to obtain solutions for new problems.

To emphasize the ideas above, this Special Issue will present some aspects regarding, but not limited to, the following:

  • Computer science (new theoretical and practical applications);
  • Mathematics (classical and applied mathematics results presented with new approaches and applications, mathematical models, all mathematical results containing new ideas starting from old subjects that can improve other known results, some new aspects regarding the history of mathematics, etc.).

The Fourier transform is continuous in the weak sense of tempered distribution; this ensures the weak stability of Fourier pairs. This article investigates a stronger form of stability of the pair of homogeneous profiles (|x|α,cd|ξ|dα) on Rd that encompasses the case where the homogeneous profiles exist only on a large but finite range. In this case, largely overlooked in the literature, we provide precise error estimates in terms of the size of the tails outside the homogeneous range. We also prove a series of refined properties of the Fourier transform on related questions including criteria that ensure an approximate homogeneous behavior asymptotically near the origin or at infinity. The sharpness of our results is checked with numerical simulations. We also investigate briefly how these results consolidate the mathematical foundations of turbulence theory. Full article

All rings considered are commutative with identity, and all modules are assumed to be unital. In this paper, we study R-modules in which every quasi-primary submodule is also primary; we refer to such modules as satisfying condition (*). We present several structural properties of these modules and investigate when the direct sum of two modules M1 and M2 inherits condition (*). In addition, we focus on prime ideals P of a ring R with the property that any P-quasi-primary submodule of an R-module M is automatically P-primary. Prime ideals exhibiting this behaviour are introduced as weak sM-prime ideals relative to M. Our results provide a framework for understanding the interaction between the quasi-primary structure of modules and the prime spectrum of the underlying ring. Full article

Colour algebras are noncommutative Jordan algebras and closely related to octonion algebras. They initially emerged in physics since the multiplication of a colour algebra over the real or complex numbers describes the colour symmetry of the Gell–Mann quark model. Over fields of characteristic not equal to two, their structure is now well-known. We initiate the study of colour algebras over a unital commutative base ring R where two is an invertible element, and show when colour algebras can be constructed canonically by employing nondegenerate ternary hermitian forms with trivial determinant. We investigate their structure, their automorphism group and their derivations. We show that there is again a close connection between the colour algebras obtained from hermitian forms and certain types of octonion algebras. Full article

In this work, we construct a new class of Appell-type polynomials generated through extended truncated and truncated exponential kernels, and we analyze their core algebraic and operational features. In particular, we establish a suitable recurrence scheme and obtain the associated multiplicative and differential operators. By confirming the quasi-monomial structure, we further deduce the governing differential equation for the proposed family. In addition, we present both a series expansion and a determinant formulation, providing complementary representations that are useful for symbolic manipulation and computation. As special cases, we introduce and study subfamilies arising from this setting, namely, extended truncated exponential versions of the Bernoulli, Euler, and Genocchi polynomials, and discuss their structural identities and operational behavior. Overall, these developments broaden the theory of special polynomials and furnish tools relevant to problems in mathematical physics and differential equations. Full article

We characterize the upper semicontinuous representability of a semiorder ≺ as an interval order (namely, by a pair (u,v) of upper semicontinuous real-valued functions) on a topological space with a countable basis of open sets, where one of the representing functions is a one-way utility for the characteristic weak order 0 associated with the semiorder. Such a description generalizes the upper semicontinuous threshold representation. To this end, we introduce a suitable upper semicontinuity condition concerning a semiorder, namely strict upper semicontinuity. We further characterize the mere existence of an upper semicontinuous one-way utility for this characteristic weak order, with a view to the identification of maximal elements on compact metric spaces.

In this paper we present some key results related to Blundon’s inequality, its long history, geometric interpretations and implications, as well as highlight some connections to results in other fields of mathematics. We make a case that this is a fundamental inequality in triangle geometry. Also, we provide a new proof for the inequalities (8) and we generalize the strong version of Blundon’s inequalities presented in Theorem 1. Full article

In this article, we introduce a novel averaged-type iterative scheme designed for solving convex minimization problems over the set of common fixed points of a pair of demicontractive mappings. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that the proposed algorithm converges strongly to the solution of the considered problem in a Hilbert space setting. We further demonstrate the applicability of our method to quadratic optimization problems with a bounded linear operator. In addition, we also report the numerical experiments that were performed in order to demonstrate the convergence behavior of the algorithm and to highlight its superiority over related existing methods.

Non-linear systems of equations play a fundamental role in various engineering and data science models, where accurate solutions are essential for both theoretical research and practical applications. However, solving such systems is highly challenging due to their inherent non-linearity and computational complexity. This study proposes a novel hybrid iterative method with fourth-order convergence. The foundation of the proposed scheme combines the Walrus Optimization Algorithm and a fourth-order iterative technique. The objective of this hybrid approach is to enhance global search capability, reduce the likelihood of convergence to local optima, accelerate convergence, and improve solution accuracy in solving non-linear problems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is checked on standard benchmark problems and two real-world case studies, hydrocarbon combustion and electronic circuit design, and one non-linear boundary value problem. In addition, a comparative analysis is conducted with several well-established optimization algorithms, based on the optimal solution, average fitness value, and convergence rate. Furthermore, the proposed scheme effectively addresses key limitations of traditional iterative techniques, such as sensitivity to initial point selection, divergence issues, and premature convergence. These findings demonstrate that the proposed hybrid method is a robust and efficient approach for solving non-linear problems. Full article

In previous work we have studied minimal prime spectra, as well as extensions of universal algebras whose term condition commutator behaves like the modular commutator in the sense that it is commutative and distributive with respect to arbitrary joins, while modularity does not even need to be enforced on their congruence lattices, let alone on those of the members of the variety they generate. Commutator lattices, defined by Czelakowski in 2008, are commutative multiplicative lattices having as prototype the algebraic structure of the congruence lattice of a such an algebra. Considering the prime elements with respect to the commutator operation, we obtain algebraic characterizations for minimal primes, then study the Stone and flat topologies on the set of minimal primes in a commutator lattice. We also prove abstract versions of congruence extension properties, actually of the general case of arbitrary morphisms instead of algebra embeddings, by means of complete join–semilattice morphisms between commutator lattices. We thus obtain abstractions for our results on congruence lattices and generalizations for results on frames and quantales, but also further cases in which these results hold. Furthermore, we investigate the lattice structures of these topologies as sublattices of the power sets of the sets of (minimal) primes. Full article
