Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Special functions, including orthogonal polynomials with symmetric and nonsymmetric parameters, are important in many areas of mathematics and in the applied sciences. For example, they are very important in the numerical analysis of different types of differential equations.

An orthogonal polynomial sequence is a family of polynomials such that any two different polynomials in the sequence are orthogonal to each other under some inner product. The most widely used orthogonal polynomials are classical orthogonal polynomials, consisting of Hermite polynomials, Laguerre polynomials, and Jacobi polynomials, and their special cases for symmetric parameters, namely, Gegenbauer polynomials, which form the most important class of Jacobi polynomials; other special cases include Chebyshev polynomials and Legendre polynomials.

P.L. Chebyshev's work on continued fractions in the late 19th century inspired further research into orthogonal polynomials by A. A. Markov and T. J. Stieltjes. Many other areas of mathematics and science also use them, such as numerical analysis (quadrature rules), probability theory, representation theory (of Lie groups, quantum groups, and related objects), enumerative combinatorics, algebraic combinatorics, mathematical physics (the theory of random matrices, integrable systems, etc.), and number theory.

This Special Issue welcomes papers devoted to the theory and applications of special functions, including symmetric and non-symmetric orthogonal polynomials. Emphasis will be placed on the use of any applied polynomial set to handle various differential and integral problems. Both papers concerned with their applicability in many disciplines, and papers on other topics in mathematics and the applied sciences where polynomials play an essential role are cordially invited. Articles of a survey nature will also be considered.

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).

In this article, we use the applications of special functions in the form of Chebyshev polynomials to find the approximate solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in the mathematical modeling of transmission line subject to appropriate symmetric Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The special part of the model equation is discretized using a Chebyshev differentiation matrix, which is centro-asymmetric using the symmetric collocation points as grid points, while the time derivative is discretized using the standard central finite difference scheme. One of the disadvantages of the Chebyshev differentiation matrix is that the resultant matrix, which is obtained after replacing the special coordinates with the derivative of Chebyshev polynomials, is dense and, therefore, needs more computational time to evaluate the resultant algebraic equation. To overcome this difficulty, an algorithm consisting of fast Fourier transformation is used. The main advantage of this transformation is that it significantly reduces the computational cost needed for N collocation points. It is shown that the proposed scheme converges exponentially, provided the data are smooth in the given equations. A number of numerical experiments are performed for different time steps and compared with the analytical solution, which further validates the accuracy of our proposed scheme. Full article

This study follows the line of research that by employing the monomiality principle, new outcomes are produced. Thus, in line with prior facts, our aim is to introduce the Δh multi-variate Hermite Appell polynomials ΔhHAm[r](q1,q2,⋯,qr;h). Further, we obtain their recurrence sort of relations by using difference operators. Furthermore, symmetric identities satisfied by these polynomials are established. The operational rules are helpful in demonstrating the novel characteristics of the polynomial families and thus operational principle satisfied by these polynomials is derived and will prove beneficial for future observations. Further, a few members of the Δh Appell polynomial family are considered and their corresponding results are derived accordingly. Full article
