Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to present novel results for special functions arising in various areas of contemporary mathematics, including mathematical physics, theory of ODE and PDE, number theory, discrete mathematics, harmonic analysis, theory of integral transforms, Lie groups and Lie algebras representation theory, q-calculus, fractional calculus, etc. We expect that this Special Issue will address both classical special functions and their numerous extensions, including q-analogues, fractional analogues, and hyper (multi-index) analogues.

We look forward to receiving your contributions including new properties, integrals, series and recurrent relations, formulas for asymptotic behavior and values of integral operators, new results for analytic continuations, etc. We invite authors to present new theorems describing connections between special functions of mathematical physics and their q-analogues with classical Lie groups and algebras and quantum groups and Hopf algebras, respectively.

We are also interested in various applications of special functions, since “A function is a special function if it occurs often enough so that it gets a name” (Richard Askey).

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Axioms [ISSN 2075-1680, SCIE Indexed, IF: 1.824].

Manuscript Submission Information

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
This paper introduces extensions H4,p and X8,p of Horn’s double hypergeometric function H4 and Exton’s triple hypergeometric function X8, taking into account recent extensions of Euler’s beta function, hypergeometric function, and confluent hypergeometric function. [...] Read more.
This paper introduces extensions H4,p and X8,p of Horn’s double hypergeometric function H4 and Exton’s triple hypergeometric function X8, taking into account recent extensions of Euler’s beta function, hypergeometric function, and confluent hypergeometric function. Among the numerous extended hypergeometric functions, the primary rationale for choosing H4 and X8 is their comparable extension type. Next, we present various integral representations of Euler and Laplace types, Mellin and inverse Mellin transforms, Laguerre polynomial representations, transformation formulae, and a recurrence relation for the extended functions. In particular, we provide a generating function for X8,p and several bounding inequalities for H4,p and X8,p. We explore the utilization of the H4,p function within a probability distribution. Most special functions, such as the generalized hypergeometric function, the Beta function, and the p-extended Beta integral, exhibit natural symmetry. Full article
