Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past century, nonlinear analysis has been widely and significantly applied in many areas of mathematics, including nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations, functional analysis, fixed point theory, nonlinear optimization, variational analysis, convex analysis, dynamical system theory, mathematical economics, signal processing, control theory, data mining, and so forth. Typical problems in analytic number theory are enumeration problems involving prime numbers, Diophantine equations, and similar number-theoretic objects. These questions are of long-standing intrinsic interest, and the answers provided by analytic number theory are often used in applied mathematics, including applications in cryptography, asymptotic and error analysis, Fourier series and transforms, contour integrals and residues, Laplacian spectral theory, and so on. Abstract mathematical inequalities have been considered important tools for mathematical and scientific research. Classical inequalities (such as Jensen's inequality, Hermite–Hadamard's inequality, Hölder's inequality, Minkowski's inequality, Grüss' inequality, Chebyshev's inequality, etc.) have found various applications in many branches of mathematics, such as functional analysis, optimization theory, numerical analysis, probability and statistics, information theory, and so on.

This Special Issue will pay more attention to new original and real-world applications of nonlinear analysis, analytic number theory and mathematical inequalities. We cordially and earnestly invite researchers to contribute their original and high-quality research papers which will inspire advances in nonlinear analysis, analytic number theory, mathematical inequalities, and their applications. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Nonlinear functional analysis;
  • Set-valued analysis;
  • Fixed point, coincidence point, and best proximity point theory;
  • Variational and topological methods for ODEs and PDEs;
  • Critical point theory;
  • Optimization;
  • Matrix theory;
  • Convex analysis;
  • Analytic number theory;
  • Diophantine approximations;
  • Analytic combinatorics;
  • Mathematical inequalities and applications;
  • Mathematical means and applications;
  • Theory and applications for special functions.

This article deals with a few outcomes ensuring the fixed points of a weak (G,ψ)-contraction map of metric spaces comprised with a reflexive and transitive digraph G. To validate our findings, we furnish several examples. The findings we obtain enable us to seek out the unique solution of a nonlinear integral equation. The outcomes presented herewith sharpen, subsume, unify, improve, enrich, and compile a number of existing theorems. Full article

Our main purpose in this paper is to study the anisotropic Moser–Trudinger-type inequalities with logarithmic weight ωβ(x)=[lnFo(x)|(n1)β. This can be seen as a generation result of the isotropic Moser–Trudinger inequality with logarithmic weight. Furthermore, we obtain the existence of extremal function when β is small. Finally, we give Lions’ concentration-compactness principle, which is the improvement of the anisotropic Moser–Trudinger-type inequality. Full article

The pursuit of environmental sustainability, energy conservation, and emissions reduction has become a global focal point. Electricity is the primary source of energy in our daily lives. Through the analysis of smart power systems, we can efficiently and sustainably harness electrical energy. However, electric power system data inherently contain a wealth of sensitive user information. Therefore, our primary concern is protecting these sensitive user data while performing precise and effective analysis. To address this issue, we have innovatively proposed three granular information models based on differential privacy. In consideration of the characteristics of enterprise electricity consumption data and the imperative need for privacy protection, we implement a reasonable modeling process through data processing, information granulation expression, and the optimization analysis of information granularity. Our datasets encompass enterprise electricity consumption data and related attributes from Hitachi Building Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd’s cloud computing center. Simultaneously, we have conducted experiments using publicly available datasets to underscore the model’s versatility. Our experimental results affirm that granular computation can improve the utility of differential privacy in safeguarding data privacy. Full article

As a powerful tool for models of quantum computing, q-calculus has drawn the attention of many researchers in the discipline of special functions. In this paper, we present new properties and characterize q-Bessel functions of the first kind using some identities of q-calculus. The results presented in this article help us to obtain new expression results related to q-special functions. New summation and integral representations for q-Bessel functions of the first kind are also established. A few examples are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

The purpose of the paper is to establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a solution to the equation T(u,C(u))=u using Kannan-type equicontractive mappings, T:A×C(A)¯Y, where C is a compact mapping, A is a bounded, closed and convex subset of a Banach space Y. To achieve this objective, the authors have presented Sadovskii’s theorem, which utilizes the measure of noncompactness. The relevance of the obtained results has been illustrated through the consideration of various initial value problems. Full article

In this article, based on the regularization techniques, we construct two new algorithms combining the forward-backward splitting algorithm and the proximal contraction algorithm, respectively. Iterative sequences of the new algorithms can converge strongly to a common solution of the variational inclusion and null point problems in real Hilbert spaces. Multi-inertial extrapolation steps are applied to expedite their convergence rate. We also give some numerical experiments to certify that our algorithms are viable and efficient. Full article

The purpose of this paper is to explore a discrete-time cash flow optimization problem of the insurance company with time value of ruin under different interest rates. For the sake of considering the time value of ruin, we assume that the shareholders can get subsidies per unit time, as long as the insurance company is not bankrupt. The switching of different interest rates on the market is controlled by a stationary Markov chain. The dynamic programming principle is used to solve this optimization problem. By using the method of fixed-point theory, we show that the value function is the unique solution of the dynamic programming equation and a numerical algorithm is proposed to solve the value function as well as the optimal policy. Furthermore, two examples are revealed to illustrate the application of the main results obtained in the presented paper. Full article
