Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Special polynomials and numbers have significant roles in various branches of mathematics, theoretical physics, and engineering. The problems arising in mathematical physics and engineering are framed in terms of differential equations. Most of these equations can only be treated using various families of special polynomials which provide new means of mathematical analysis. They are widely used in computational models of scientific and engineering problems. Applications of various properties of special functions and polynomials also arise in problems of number theory, combinatorics, theoretical physics, and other areas of pure and applied mathematics, providing the motivation for introducing a new class of special functions and polynomials.

Each paper that will be published in this Special Issue should aim to enrich our understanding of current research problems, theories, applications, and modeling of special functions and polynomials.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Special functions
  • Special polynomials
  • Orthogonal polynomials
  • q-Analiz
  • p-adic analysis
  • Umbral calculus
  • Differential and integral equations
  • Number theory

Recently, we have established and used the generalized Littlewood theorem concerning contour integrals of the logarithm of an analytical function to obtain a few new criteria equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. Here, the same theorem is applied to calculate certain infinite sums and study the properties of zeroes of a few analytical functions. On many occasions, this enables to facilitate the obtaining of known results thus having important methodological meaning. Additionally, some new results, to the best of our knowledge, are also obtained in this way. For example, we established new properties of the sum of inverse zeroes of a digamma function, new formulae for the sums kiρi2 for zeroes ρi of incomplete gamma and Riemann zeta functions having the order ki (These results can be straightforwardly generalized for the sums kiρin with integer n > 2, and so on.)

Point orthogonal projection onto an algebraic surface is a very important topic in computer-aided geometric design and other fields. However, implementing this method is currently extremely challenging and difficult because it is difficult to achieve to desired degree of robustness. Therefore, we construct an orthogonal polynomial, which is the ninth formula, after the inner product of the eighth formula itself. Additionally, we use the Newton iterative method for the iteration. In order to ensure maximum convergence, two techniques are used before the Newton iteration: (1) Newton’s gradient descent method, which is used to make the initial iteration point fall on the algebraic surface, and (2) computation of the foot-point and moving the iterative point to the close position of the orthogonal projection point of the algebraic surface. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can accurately, efficiently, and robustly converge to the orthogonal projection point for test points in different spatial positions.

In the current work, by using the familiar q-calculus, first, we study certain generalized conic-type regions. We then introduce and study a subclass of the multivalent q-starlike functions that map the open unit disk into the generalized conic domain. Next, we study potentially effective outcomes such as sufficient restrictions and the Fekete–Szegö type inequalities. We attain lower bounds for the ratio of a good few functions related to this lately established class and sequences of the partial sums. Furthermore, we acquire a number of attributes of the corresponding class of q-starlike functions having negative Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients, including distortion theorems. Moreover, various important corollaries are carried out. The new explorations appear to be in line with a good few prior commissions and the current area of our recent investigation. Full article

In this paper we provide many new results involving Opial type inequalities. We consider two functions—one is convex and the other is concave—and prove a new general inequality on a measure space (Ω,Σ,μ). We give an new result involving four new Green functions. Our results include Grüss and Ostrowski type inequalities related to the generalized Opial type inequality. The obtained inequalities are of Opial type because the integrals contain the function and its integral representation. They are not a direct generalization of the Opial inequality. Full article

Mathematical inequalities have gained importance and popularity due to the application of integral operators of different types. The present paper aims to give Chebyshev-type inequalities for generalized k-integral operators involving the Mittag-Leffler function in kernels. Several new results can be deduced for different integral operators, along with Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals by substituting convenient parameters. Moreover, the presented results generalize several already published inequalities. Full article
