Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, special functions have been developed and applied in a variety of fields, such as combinatory, astronomy, applied mathematics, physics, and engineering, owing mainly to their remarkable properties. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to create a forum of recently developed theories and formulas of special functions with their possible applications to other research areas. This Special Issue provides readers with an opportunity to develop an understanding of recent trends of special functions and the skills needed to apply advanced mathematical techniques to solve complex problems in the theory of partial differential equations. Subject matters are normally related to special functions involving mathematical analysis and its numerous applications, as well as more abstract methods in the theory of partial differential equations. The main objective of this Special Issue is to highlight the importance of fundamental results and techniques of the theory of complex analysis for PDEs, and emphasize articles devoted to the mathematical treatment of questions arising in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering—particularly those that stress analytical aspects, and novel problems and their solutions.

The theory of univalent functions has shown strong significance in the field of mathematics. It is such a vast and fully applied topic that its applications exist in nearly every field of applied sciences such as nonlinear integrable system theory, fluid dynamics, modern mathematical physics, the theory of partial differential equations, engineering, and electronics. In our present investigation, two subfamilies of starlike and bounded turning functions associated with a three-leaf-shaped domain were considered. These classes are denoted by BT3l and S3l*, respectively. For the class BT3l, we study various coefficient type problems such as the first four initial coefficients, the Fekete–Szegö and Zalcman type inequalities and the third-order Hankel determinant. Furthermore, the existing third-order Hankel determinant bounds for the second class will be improved here. All the results that we are going to prove are sharp. Full article

This article investigates the local fractional generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation and the local fractional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili-modified equal width equation. It presents traveling-wave transformation in a nondifferentiable type for the governing equations, which translate them into local fractional ordinary differential equations. It also investigates nondifferentiable traveling-wave solutions for certain proposed models, using an ansatz method based on some generalized functions defined on fractal sets. Several interesting graphical representations as 2D, 3D, and contour plots at some selected parameters are presented, by considering the integer and fractional derivative orders to illustrate the physical naturality of the inferred solutions. Further results are also introduced in some details. Full article

In this paper, we used Lyapunov theory and Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) to design a generalized observer by adding more complexity in the output of the dynamic systems. Our designed observer is based on the optimization problem, minimizing error between trajectories of master and slave systems subject to the incremental quadratic constraint. Moreover, an algorithm is given in our paper used to demonstrate a method for obtaining desired observer and gain matrixes, whereas these gain matrixes are obtained with the aid of LMI and incremental multiplier matrix (IMM). Finally, discussion of two examples are an integral part of our study for the explanation of achieved analytical results using MATLAB and SCILAB. Full article

Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to establish some sufficient conditions so that a class of normalized Mittag–Leffler-type functions satisfies several geometric properties such as starlikeness, convexity, close-to-convexity, and uniform convexity inside the unit disk.

The main objective of this paper is to establish some sufficient conditions so that a class of normalized Mittag–Leffler-type functions satisfies several geometric properties such as starlikeness, convexity, close-to-convexity, and uniform convexity inside the unit disk. Moreover, pre-starlikeness and k-uniform convexity are discussed for these functions. Some sufficient conditions are also derived so that these functions belong to the Hardy spaces Hp and H. Furthermore, the inclusion properties of some modified Mittag–Leffler-type functions are discussed. The various results, which are established in this paper, are presumably new, and their importance is illustrated by several interesting consequences and examples. Some potential directions for analogous further research on the subject of the present investigation are indicated in the concluding section. Full article

Inequality theory has attracted considerable attention from scientists because it can be used in many fields. In particular, Hermite–Hadamard and Simpson inequalities based on convex functions have become a cornerstone in pure and applied mathematics. We deal with Simpson’s second-type inequalities based on coordinated convex functions in this work. In this paper, we first introduce Simpson’s second-type integral inequalities for two-variable functions whose second-order partial derivatives in modulus are convex on the coordinates. In addition, similar results are acquired by considering that powers of the absolute value of second-order partial derivatives of these two-variable functions are convex on the coordinates. Finally, some applications for Simpson’s 3/8 cubature formula are given. Full article

In this paper, Jensen’s inequality and Fubini’s Theorem are extended for the function of several variables via diamond integrals of time scale calculus. These extensions are used to generalize Hardy-type inequalities with general kernels via diamond integrals for the function of several variables. Some Hardy Hilbert and Polya Knop type inequalities are also discussed as special cases. Classical and new inequalities are deduced from the main results using special kernels and particular time scales. Full article

In our present investigation, some coefficient functionals for a subclass relating to starlike functions connected with three-leaf mappings were considered. Sharp coefficient estimates for the first four initial coefficients of the functions of this class are addressed. Furthermore, we obtain the Fekete–Szegö inequality, sharp upper bounds for second and third Hankel determinants, bounds for logarithmic coefficients, and third-order Hankel determinants for two-fold and three-fold symmetric functions.

In the existent study, combined magneto-convection heat exchange in a driven enclosure having vertical fin was analyzed numerically. The finite element system-based GWR procedure was utilized to determine the flow model’s governing equations. A parametric inquiry was executed to review the influence of Richardson and Hartmann numbers on flow shape and heat removal features inside a frame. The problem’s resulting numerical outcomes were demonstrated graphically in terms of isotherms, streamlines, velocity sketches, local Nusselt number, global Nusselt number, and global fluid temperature. It was found that the varying lengths of the fin surface have a substantial impact on flow building and heat line sketch. Further, it was also noticed that a relatively fin length is needed to increase the heat exchange rate on the right cool wall at a high Richardson number. The fin can significantly enhance heat removal performance rate from an enclosure to adjacent fluid. Full article

In this paper, we consider a new type of degenerate derangement polynomial and number, which shall be called the degenerate derangement polynomials and numbers of the second kind. These concepts are motivated by Kim et al.’s work on degenerate derangement polynomials and numbers. We investigate some properties of these new degenerate derangement polynomials and numbers and explore their connections with the degenerate gamma distributions for the case λ(1,0). In more detail, we derive their explicit expressions, recurrence relations, and some identities involving our degenerate derangement polynomials and numbers and other special polynomials and numbers, which include the fully degenerate Bell polynomials, the degenerate Fubini polynomials, and the degenerate Stirling numbers of the first and the second kinds. We also show that those polynomials and numbers are connected with the moments of some variants of the degenerate gamma distributions. Moreover, we compare the degenerate derangement polynomials and numbers of the second kind to those of Kim et al. Full article
