Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The amazing theory of inequalities is a long-standing topic in many different mathematical areas. It remains an attractive research subject, with many interesting applications in fractional calculus, quantum calculus, operator theory, numerical analysis, operator equations, network theory and quantum information theory. This is currently a very active research area, which has been enriched by interplay between individual areas.

The numerical integration and estimations of definite integrals is a vital piece of applied sciences. Simpson's rules are momentous among the numerical techniques.

This Special Issue will collate original research papers in all areas of mathematics and its numerous applications that are concerned with inequalities or their basic role. The research results presented are related to the improvement, extensions and generalizations of classical and recent inequalities, and highlight their applications in functional analysis, nonlinear functional analysis, multivariate analysis, quantum calculus, statistics, probability, and other relevant fields.

Please note that all submitted papers should be within the scope of the journal.

In this study, we apply fractional calculus on certain convex functions and derive many novel mean-type inequalities by employing fractional calculus and convexity theory. In order to investigate fractional mean inequalities, we first build an identity in this study. Then, with its help, we derive many mean-type inequalities and estimate the error of HH inequality using a generalized version of RL-fractional integrals and certain classes of convex functions. The results obtained are validated by taking specific functions. Many mean-type inequalities that exist in the literature are generalized by the main results of this study. Full article

The present paper provides several corrected dual-Simpson-type inequalities for functions whose local fractional derivatives are generalized convex. To that end, we derive a new local fractional integral identity as an auxiliary result. Using this new identity along with generalized Hölder’s inequality and generalized power mean inequality, we establish some new variants of fractal corrected dual-Simpson-type integral inequalities. Furthermore, some applications for error estimates of quadrature formulas as well as some special means involving arithmetic and p-logarithmic mean are offered to demonstrate the efficacy of our findings.

The objective of this study is to examine numerical evaluations of the mosquito dispersal mathematical system (MDMS) in a heterogeneous atmosphere through artificial intelligence (AI) techniques via Bayesian regularization neural networks (BSR-NNs). The MDMS is constructed with six classes, i.e., eggs, larvae, pupae, host, resting mosquito, and ovipositional site densities-based ODEs system. The computing BSR-NNs scheme is applied for three different performances using the data of training, testing and verification, which is divided as 75%, 15%, 10% with twelve hidden neurons. The result comparisons are provided to check the authenticity of the designed AI method portrayed by the BSR-NNs. The AI based BSR-NNs procedure is executed to reduce the mean square error (MSE) for the MDMS. The achieved performances are also presented to validate the efficiency of BSR-NNs scheme using the process of MSE, correlation, error histograms and regression. Full article

In the recent era of research, the field of integral inequalities has earned more recognition due to its wide applications in diverse domains. The researchers have widely studied the integral inequalities by utilizing different approaches. In this present article, we aim to develop a variety of certain new inequalities using the generalized fractional integral in the sense of multivariate Mittag-Leffler (M-L) functions, including Grüss-type and some other related inequalities. Also, we use the relationship between the Riemann-Liouville integral, the Prabhakar integral, and the generalized fractional integral to deduce specific findings. Moreover, we support our findings by presenting examples and corollaries. Full article

In this study, we focus on the newly introduced concept of LR-convex interval-valued functions to establish new variants of the Hermite–Hadamard (H-H) type and Pachpatte type inequalities for Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals. By presenting some numerical examples, we also verify the correctness of the results that we have derived in this paper. Because the results, which are related to the differintegral of the ϱ1+ϱ22 type, are novel in the context of the LR-convex interval-valued functions, we believe that this will be a useful contribution for motivating future research in this area.

In this paper, by adopting the classical method of proofs, we establish certain new Chebyshev and Grüss-type inequalities for unified fractional integral operators via an extended generalized Mittag-Leffler function. The main results are more general and include a large number of available classical fractional integral inequalities in the literature. Furthermore, some new fractional integral inequalities similar to the main results can be also obtained by employing the newly introduced generalized fractional integral operators involving the Mittag-Leffler-like function and weighted function. Consequently, their relevance with known inequalities for different kinds of fractional integral operators are pointed out. Full article
