In this article, we obtain certain finite integrals concerning generalized Mittag–Leffler functions, which are evaluated in terms of the generalized Fox–Wright function. The integrals of concern are unified in nature and thereby yield some new integral formulas as special cases. Moreover, we numerically compute some integrals using the Gaussian quadrature formula and draw a comparison with the main integrals by using graphical numerical investigation. Full article

This study aims to achieve an efficient time-frequency representation of higher-dimensional signals by introducing the notion of a non-separable linear canonical wavelet transform in L2(Rn). The preliminary analysis encompasses the derivation of fundamental properties of the novel integral transform including the orthogonality relation, inversion formula, and the range theorem. To extend the scope of the study, we formulate several uncertainty inequalities, including the Heisenberg’s, logarithmic, and Nazorav’s inequalities for the proposed transform in the linear canonical domain. The obtained results are reinforced with illustrative examples. Full article

In this work, the authors use their contour integral method to derive an application of the Fourier integral theorem given by emxmyexey+y(log(a)+xy)kdxdy in terms of the Lerch function. This integral formula is then used to derive closed solutions in terms of fundamental constants and special functions. Almost all Lerch functions have an asymmetrical zero distribution. There are some useful results relating double integrals of certain kinds of functions to ordinary integrals for which we know no general reference. Thus, a table of integral pairs is given for interested readers. All of the results in this work are new. Full article

It is a familiar fact that convex and non-convex fuzzy mappings play a critical role in the study of fuzzy optimization. Due to the behavior of its definition, the idea of convexity plays a significant role in the subject of inequalities. The concepts of convexity and symmetry have a tight connection. We may use whatever we learn from one to the other, thanks to the significant correlation that has developed between both in recent years. Our aim is to consider a new class of fuzzy mappings (FMs) known as strongly preinvex fuzzy mappings (strongly preinvex-FMs) on the invex set. These FMs are more general than convex fuzzy mappings (convex-FMs) and preinvex fuzzy mappings (preinvex-FMs), and when generalized differentiable (briefly, G-differentiable), strongly preinvex-FMs are strongly invex fuzzy mappings (strongly invex-FMs). Some new relationships among various concepts of strongly preinvex-FMs are established and verified with the support of some useful examples. We have also shown that optimality conditions of G-differentiable strongly preinvex-FMs and the fuzzy functional, which is the sum of G-differentiable preinvex-FMs and non G-differentiable strongly preinvex-FMs, can be distinguished by strongly fuzzy variational-like inequalities and strongly fuzzy mixed variational-like inequalities, respectively. In the end, we have established and verified a strong relationship between the Hermite–Hadamard inequality and strongly preinvex-FM. Several exceptional cases are also discussed. These inequalities are a very interesting outcome of our main results and appear to be new ones. The results in this research can be seen as refinements and improvements to previously published findings. Full article

In this article, by utilizing the theory of quantum (or q-) calculus, we define a new subclass of analytic and multivalent (or p-valent) functions class Ap, where class Ap is invariant (or symmetric) under rotations. The well-known class of Janowski functions are used with the help of the principle of subordination between analytic functions in order to define this subclass of analytic and p-valent functions. This function class generalizes various other subclasses of analytic functions, not only in classical Geometric Function Theory setting, but also some q-analogue of analytic multivalent function classes. We study and investigate some interesting properties such as sufficiency criteria, coefficient bounds, distortion problem, growth theorem, radii of starlikeness and convexity for this newly-defined class. Other properties such as those involving convex combination are also discussed for these functions. In the concluding part of the article, we have finally given the well-demonstrated fact that the results presented in this article can be obtained for the (p,q)-variations, by making some straightforward simplification and will be an inconsequential exercise simply because the additional parameter p is obviously unnecessary.

This paper presents a spectral calculus for computing the spectra of causal Lorentz invariant Borel complex measures on Minkowski space, thereby enabling one to compute their densities with respect to Lebesque measure. The spectra of certain elementary convolutions involving Feynman propagators of scalar particles are computed. It is proved that the convolution of arbitrary causal Lorentz invariant Borel complex measures exists and the product of such measures exists in a wide class of cases. Techniques for their computation in terms of their spectral representation are presented. Full article

In the present paper, we deal with some general estimates for the difference of operators which are associated with different fundamental functions. In order to exemplify the theoretical results presented in (for example) Theorem 2, we provide the estimates of the differences between some of the most representative operators used in Approximation Theory in especially the difference between the Baskakov and the Szász–Mirakyan operators, the difference between the Baskakov and the Szász–Mirakyan–Baskakov operators, the difference of two genuine-Durrmeyer type operators, and the difference of the Durrmeyer operators and the Lupaş–Durrmeyer operators. By means of illustrative numerical examples, we show that, for particular cases, our result improves the estimates obtained by using the classical result of Shisha and Mond. We also provide the symmetry aspects of some of these approximations operators which we have studied in this paper. Full article
