This article is concerned with the description of the entire solutions of several Fermat type partial differential-difference equations (PDDEs) μf(z)+λfz1(z)2+[αf(z+c)βf(z)]2=1, and μf(z)+λ1fz1(z)+λ2fz2(z)2+[αf(z+c)βf(z)]2=1, where fz1(z)=fz1 and fz2(z)=fz2, c=(c1,c2)C2, α,β,μ,λ,λ1,λ2,c1,c2 are constants in C. Our theorems in this paper give some descriptions of the forms of transcendental entire solutions for the above equations, which are some extensions and improvement of the previous theorems given by Xu, Cao, Liu, and Yang. In particular, we exhibit a series of examples to explain that the existence conditions and the forms of transcendental entire solutions with a finite order of such equations are precise.

Numerous polynomial variations and their extensions have been explored extensively and found applications in a variety of research fields. The purpose of this research is to establish a unified class of Apostol–Genocchi polynomials based on poly-Daehee polynomials and to explore some of their features and identities. We investigate these polynomials via generating functions and deduce various identities, summation formulae, differential and integral formulas, implicit summation formulae, and several characterized generating functions for new numbers and polynomials. Finally, by using an operational version of Apostol–Genocchi polynomials, we derive some results in terms of new special polynomials. Due to the generic nature of the findings described here, they are used to reduce and generate certain known or novel formulae and identities for relatively simple polynomials and numbers.

In this paper, our first purpose is to describe a class of phenomena involving the growth in the Hadamard–Kong product of several Dirichlet series with different growth indices. We prove that (i) the order of the Hadamard–Kong product series is determined by the growth in the Dirichlet series with smaller indices if these Dirichlet series have different growth indices; (ii) the q1-type of the Hadamard–Kong product series is equal to zero if p Dirichlet series are of qj-regular growth, and q1<q2<<qp, qjN+, j=1,2,,p. The second purpose is to reveal the properties of the growth in the Hadamard–Kong product series of two Dirichlet series—when one Dirichlet series is of finite order, the other is of logarithmic order, and two Dirichlet series are of finite logarithmic order—and obtain the growth relationships between the Hadamard–Kong product series and two Dirchlet series concerning the order, the logarithmic order, logarithmic type, etc. Finally, some examples are given to show that our results are best possible.

We construct the Stancu-type generalization of q-Bernstein operators involving the idea of Bézier bases depending on the shape parameter 1ζ1 and obtain auxiliary lemmas. We discuss the local approximation results in term of a Lipschitz-type function based on two parameters and a Lipschitz-type maximal function, as well as other related results for our newly constructed operators. Moreover, we determine the rate of convergence of our operators by means of Peetre’s K-functional and corresponding modulus of continuity. Full article

A semiclassical approach based on the WKB–Maslov method is developed for the kinetic ionization equation in dense plasma with approximations characteristic of metal vapor active media excited by a contracted discharge. We develop the technique for constructing the leading term of the semiclassical asymptotics of the Cauchy problem solution for the kinetic equation under the supposition of weak diffusion. In terms of the approach developed, the local cubic nonlinear term in the original kinetic equation is considered in a nonlocal form. This allows one to transform the nonlinear nonlocal kinetic equation to an associated linear partial differential equation with a given accuracy of the asymptotic parameter using the dynamical system of moments of the desired solution of the equation. The Cauchy problem solution for the nonlinear nonlocal kinetic equation can be obtained from the solution of the associated linear partial differential equation and some algebraic equations for the coefficients of the linear equation. Within the developed approach, the plasma relaxation in metal vapor active media is studied with asymptotic solutions expressed in terms of higher transcendental functions. The qualitative analysis of such the solutions is given. Full article

In this paper, we introduce a new class of harmonic univalent functions with respect to k-symmetric points by using a newly-defined q-analog of the derivative operator for complex harmonic functions. For this harmonic univalent function class, we derive a sufficient condition, a representation theorem, and a distortion theorem. We also apply a generalized q-Bernardi–Libera–Livingston integral operator to examine the closure properties and coefficient bounds. Furthermore, we highlight some known consequences of our main results. In the concluding part of the article, we have finally reiterated the well-demonstrated fact that the results presented in this article can easily be rewritten as the so-called (p,q)-variations by making some straightforward simplifications, and it will be an inconsequential exercise, simply because the additional parameter p is obviously unnecessary.

Since Gottlieb introduced and investigated the so-called Gottlieb polynomials in 1938, which are discrete orthogonal polynomials, many researchers have investigated these polynomials from diverse angles. In this paper, we aimed to investigate the q-extensions of these polynomials to provide certain q-generating functions for three sequences associated with a finite power series whose coefficients are products of the known q-extended multivariable and multiparameter Gottlieb polynomials and another non-vanishing multivariable function. Furthermore, numerous possible particular cases of our main identities are considered. Finally, we return to Khan and Asif’s q-Gottlieb polynomials to highlight certain connections with several other known q-polynomials, and provide its q-integral representation. Furthermore, we conclude this paper by disclosing our future investigation plan. Full article

In this paper, we consider fractional ordinary differential equations and the fractional Euler–Poisson–Darboux equation with fractional derivatives in the form of a power of the Bessel differential operator. Using the technique of the Meijer integral transform and its modification, fundamental solutions to these equations are derived in terms of the Fox–Wright function, the Fox H-function, and their particular cases.

In the present investigation, by using certain higher-order q-derivatives, the authors introduce and investigate several new subclasses of the family of multivalent q-starlike functions in the open unit disk. For each of these newly-defined function classes, several interesting properties and characteristics are systematically derived. These properties and characteristics include (for example) distortion theorems and radius problems. A number of coefficient inequalities and a sufficient condition for functions belonging to the subclasses studied here are also discussed. Relevant connections of the various results presented in this investigation with those in earlier works on this subject are also pointed out. Full article
