The principal objective of this article is to introduce the idea of a new class of n-polynomial convex functions which we call n-polynomial s-type m-preinvex function. We establish a new variant of the well-known Hermite–Hadamard inequality in the mode of the newly introduced concept. To add more insight into the newly introduced concept, we have discussed some algebraic properties and examples as well. Besides, we discuss a few new exceptional cases for the derived results, which make us realize that the results of this paper are the speculations and expansions of some recently known outcomes. The immeasurable concepts and chasmic tools of this paper may invigorate and revitalize additional research in this mesmerizing and absorbing field. Full article

The frequency of a nonlinear vibration system is nonlinearly related to its amplitude, and this relationship is critical in the design of a packaging system and a microelectromechanical system (MEMS). This paper proposes a straightforward frequency prediction method for nonlinear oscillators with arbitrary initial conditions. The tangent oscillator, the hyperbolic tangent oscillator, a singular oscillator, and a MEMS oscillator are chosen to elucidate the simple solving process. The results, when compared with those obtained by the homotopy perturbation method, exhibit a good agreement. This paper introduces a very convenient procedure for attaining quick and accurate insight into the vibration property of a nonlinear vibration system. Full article

The theory of convexity plays an important role in various branches of science and engineering. The objective of this paper is to introduce a new notion of preinvex functions by unifying the n-polynomial preinvex function with the s-type m–preinvex function and to present inequalities of the Hermite–Hadamard type in the setting of the generalized s-type m–preinvex function. First, we give the definition and then investigate some of its algebraic properties and examples. We also present some refinements of the Hermite–Hadamard-type inequality using Hölder’s integral inequality, the improved power-mean integral inequality, and the Hölder-İşcan integral inequality. Finally, some results for special means are deduced. The results established in this paper can be considered as the generalization of many published results of inequalities and convexity theory.

Finding effective finite-dimensional criteria for closed subspaces in

L_{p},

endowed with some additional functional constraints, is a well-known and interesting problem. In this work, we are interested in some sufficient constraints on closed functional subspaces,

S_{p} \subset L_{p},

whose finite dimensionality is not fixed a priori and can not be checked directly. This is often the case in diverse applications, when a closed subspace

S_{p} \subset L_{p}

is constructed by means of some additional conditions and constraints on

L_{p}

with no direct exemplification of the functional structure of its elements. We consider a closed topological subspace,

S_{p}^{(q)}

, of the functional Banach space,

L_{p} (M, d μ)

, and, moreover, one assumes that additionally,

S_{p}^{(q)} \subset L_{q} (M, d ν)

is subject to a probability measure

ν

on

M .

Then, we show that closed subspaces of

L_{p} (M, d μ) \cap L_{q} (M, d ν)

for

q > max {1, p}, p > 0

are finite dimensional. The finite dimensionality result concerning the case when

q > p > 0

is open and needs more sophisticated techniques, mainly based on analysis of the complementary subspaces to

L_{p} (M, d μ) \cap L_{q} (M, d ν) .

The current work examines the application of the viscous potential flow to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) of a planar interface between two visco-elastic Walters’ B fluids. The fluids are fully saturated in porous media in the presence of heat and mass transfer across the interface. Additionally, the structure is pervaded via a uniform, normal electrical field in the absence of superficial charges. The nonlinear scheme basically depends on analyzing the linear principal equation of motion, and then applying the appropriate nonlinear boundary-conditions. The current organization creates a nonlinear characteristic equation describing the amplitude performance of the surface waves. The classical Routh–Hrutwitz theory is employed to judge the linear stability criteria. Once more, the implication of the multiple time scale with the aid of Taylor theory yields a Ginzburg–Landau equation, which controls the nonlinear stability criteria. Furthermore, the Poincaré–Lindstedt technique is implemented to achieve an analytic estimated bounded solution for the surface deflection. Many special cases draw upon appropriate data selections. Finally, all theoretical findings are numerically confirmed in such a way that ensures the effectiveness of various physical parameters. Full article

For the proposed theoretical analysis, we use fixed point theory while for numerical analysis fractional Adams–Bashforth iterative techniques are utilized. Using our numerical scheme is verified by using some real values of the parameters to plot the approximate solution to the considered model. Graphical presentations corresponding to different values of fractional order and fractal dimensions are given. Moreover, we provide some information regarding the real data of Saudi Arabia from 1 March 2020 till 22 April 2021, then calculated the fatality rates by utilizing the SPSS, Eviews and Expert Modeler procedure. We also built forecasts of infection for the period 23 April 2021 to 30 May 2021, with 95% confidence. Full article

The present paper employs a numerical method based on the improved block–pulse basis functions (IBPFs). This was mainly performed to resolve the Volterra–Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. Those equations are often simplified into a linear system of algebraic equations through the use of IBPFs in addition to the operational matrix of integration. Typically, the classical alterations have enhanced the time taken by the computer program to solve the system of algebraic equations. The current modification works perfectly and has improved the efficiency over the regular block–pulse basis functions (BPF). Additionally, the paper handles the uniqueness plus the convergence theorems of the solution. Numerical examples have been presented to illustrate the efficiency as well as the accuracy of the method. Furthermore, tables and graphs are used to show and confirm how the method is highly efficient. Full article

In this work, we investigate the ill-conditioned problem of a separable, nonlinear least squares model by using the variable projection method. Based on the truncated singular value decomposition method and the Tikhonov regularization method, we propose an improved Tikhonov regularization method, which neither discards small singular values, nor treats all singular value corrections. By fitting the Mackey–Glass time series in an exponential model, we compare the three regularization methods, and the numerically simulated results indicate that the improved regularization method is more effective at reducing the mean square error of the solution and increasing the accuracy of unknowns.

The current paper investigates the dynamical property of a pendulum attached to a rotating rigid frame with a constant angular velocity about the vertical axis passing to the pivot point of the pendulum. He’s homotopy perturbation method is used to obtain the analytic solution of the governing nonlinear differential equation of motion. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta method (RKM) and He’s frequency formulation are used to verify the high accuracy of the obtained solution. The stability condition of the motion is examined and discussed. Some plots of the time histories of the gained solutions are portrayed graphically to reveal the impact of the distinct parameters on the dynamical motion. Full article
