Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Harmonic analysis, orthogonal polynomials, special functions, and fractional calculus are well-established fields of research within the mathematical sciences. Over the centuries, these areas have evolved into classical disciplines, enriched by pioneering contributions that have introduced innovative methodologies and provided in-depth insights into both theoretical and applied problems.

The objective of this Special Issue, “Recent Advances in Orthogonal Polynomials, Special Functions, and Their Applications”, is to present recent trends, novel methodologies, and significant applications in these fields.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

In this paper, we establish a new hybrid class of special polynomials, the Gould–Hopper–Fubini-based Appell polynomials. Using the monomiality principle, we derive their generating function and explore related properties and identities.

We also investigate symmetry identities and obtain a determinant representation for these polynomials. Finally, we present and discuss results for several special cases of this family and support the derived results with computational studies and visual representations. Full article

In the present paper, the Kantorovich modification of the Schurer type of (λ,q)-Bernstein operators, which are associated by the shape parameter 1λ1 and the Bézier basis function, is presented. Using Korovkin’s theorem, we establish several local and global approximation properties. Lastly, we calculate the convergence properties for the functions that belong to Peetre’s K-functional and Lipschitz maximum by using the classical modulus of continuity and second-order modulus of continuity. In the last section, graphical and numerical analysis are studied. Full article

In this article, we present new theoretical findings on specific polynomials that generalize the concept of telephone numbers, namely, Telephone polynomials (TelPs). Several new formulas are developed, including expressions for higher-order derivatives, repeated integrals, and moment formulas of TelPs. Moreover, we derive explicit connections between the derivatives of TelPs and the two classes of symmetric and non-symmetric polynomials, producing many formulas between these polynomials and several celebrated polynomials such as Hermite, Laguerre, Jacobi, Fibonacci, Lucas, Bernoulli, and Euler polynomials. The inverse formulas are also obtained, expressing the derivatives of well-known polynomial families in terms of TelPs. Furthermore, some novel linearization formulas (LFs) with some classes of polynomials are established. Finally, some new definite and indefinite integrals of TelPs are established using some of the developed relations. Full article

The behavior of a new modification of operators of the Baskakov–Schurer–Stancu variant is discussed in this study. First, we establish certain necessary moment and central moment estimates. We then demonstrate the weighted approximation result of the suggested operators using a Korovkin-type theorem in weighted spaces. We also give the rate at which these operators converge. Next, we establish theorems of pointwise convergence. Finally, we show several graphical representations to illustrate the accuracy and functionality of the operators. Full article
