Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Special numbers and polynomials play an extremely important role in the development of several branches of mathematics, physics and engineering. The problems arising in the mathematical physics and engineering fields are mathematically framed in terms of differential equations. Most of them can only be solved using families of special functions which provide new means of mathematical analysis. Such families can be described in various ways, for instance, by orthogonality conditions, as solutions to differential equations, by generating functions, by recurrence relations, by operational formulas, and by bosonic and fermionic p-adic integrals. In last few years, attention has been centered on obtaining new representations of families of special functions and polynomials.

Each paper that will be published in this Special Issue aims to enrich the understanding of current research problems, theories and applications of some special functions and polynomials.

In this paper, we propose a parametric kind of Fubini polynomials by defining the two specific generating functions. We also investigate some analytical properties (for example, summation formulae, differential formulae and relationships with other well-known polynomials and numbers) for our introduced polynomials in a systematic way. Furthermore, we consider some relationships for parametric kind of Fubini polynomials associated with Bernoulli, Euler, and Genocchi polynomials and Stirling numbers of the second kind. Full article

In this paper, we consider three sums of finite products of Chebyshev polynomials of two different kinds, namely sums of finite products of the second and third kind Chebyshev polynomials, those of the second and fourth kind Chebyshev polynomials, and those of the third and fourth kind Chebyshev polynomials. As a generalization of the classical linearization problem, we represent each of such sums of finite products as linear combinations of Hermite, generalized Laguerre, Legendre, Gegenbauer, and Jacobi polynomials. These are done by explicit computations and the coefficients involve terminating hypergeometric functions 2 F 1 , 1 F 1 , 2 F 2 , and 4 F 3 . Full article

The new type degenerate of Bell polynomials and numbers were recently introduced, which are a degenerate version of Bell polynomials and numbers and are different from the previously introduced partially degenerate Bell polynomials and numbers. Several expressions and identities on those polynomials and numbers were obtained. In this paper, as a further investigation of the new type degenerate Bell polynomials, we derive several identities involving those degenerate Bell polynomials, Stirling numbers of the second kind and Carlitz’s degenerate Bernoulli or degenerate Euler polynomials. In addition, we obtain an identity connecting the degenerate Bell polynomials, Cauchy polynomials, Bernoulli numbers, Stirling numbers of the second kind and degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind.

Recently, type 2 degenerate Euler polynomials and type 2 q-Euler polynomials were studied, respectively, as degenerate versions of the type 2 Euler polynomials as well as a q-analog of the type 2 Euler polynomials. In this paper, we consider the type 2 degenerate q-Euler polynomials, which are derived from the fermionic p-adic q-integrals on Z p , and investigate some properties and identities related to these polynomials and numbers. In detail, we give for these polynomials several expressions, generating function, relations with type 2 q-Euler polynomials and the expression corresponding to the representation of alternating integer power sums in terms of Euler polynomials. One novelty about this paper is that the type 2 degenerate q-Euler polynomials arise naturally by means of the fermionic p-adic q-integrals so that it is possible to easily find some identities of symmetry for those polynomials and numbers, as were done previously.

A crucial issue in applying the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator for decision making is the determination of the associated weights. This paper proposes a general least convex deviation model for OWA operators which attempts to obtain the desired OWA weight vector under a given orness level to minimize the least convex deviation after monotone convex function transformation of absolute deviation. The model includes the least square deviation (LSD) OWA operators model suggested by Wang, Luo and Liu in Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2007, as a special class. We completely prove this constrained optimization problem analytically. Using this result, we also give solution of LSD model suggested by Wang, Luo and Liu as a function of n and α completely. We reconsider two numerical examples that Wang, Luo and Liu, 2007 and Sang and Liu, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 2014, showed and consider another different type of the model to illustrate our results.

In the classical connection problem, it is dealt with determining the coefficients in the expansion of the product of two polynomials with regard to any given sequence of polynomials. As a generalization of this problem, we will consider sums of finite products of Fubini polynomials and represent these in terms of orthogonal polynomials. Here, the involved orthogonal polynomials are Chebyshev polynomials of the first, second, third and fourth kinds, and Hermite, extended Laguerre, Legendre, Gegenbauer, and Jabcobi polynomials. These representations are obtained by explicit computations. Full article

We firstly consider the fully degenerate Gould–Hopper polynomials with a q parameter and investigate some of their properties including difference rule, inversion formula and addition formula. We then introduce the Gould–Hopper-based fully degenerate poly-Bernoulli polynomials with a q parameter and provide some of their diverse basic identities and properties including not only addition property, but also difference rule properties. By the same way of mentioned polynomials, we define the Gould–Hopper-based fully degenerate ( α , q ) -Stirling polynomials of the second kind, and then give many relations. Moreover, we derive multifarious correlations and identities for foregoing polynomials and numbers, including recurrence relations and implicit summation formulas. Full article
