• On the existence and stability of two positive solutions of a hybrid
differential system of arbitrary fractional order via
Avery–Anderson–Henderson criterion on cones

• Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to investigate the existence, uniqueness, and Ulam–Hyers stability of positive solutions for fractional integro-differential boundary values problem. Uniqueness result is obtained by using the Banach principle. For obtaining two positive solutions, we apply another fixed point criterion due to Avery–Anderson–Henderson on cones by establishing some inequalities. An illustrative example is presented to indicate the validity of the obtained results. The results are new and provide a generalization to some known results in the literature.

• Generalized proportional fractional integral functional bounds in
Minkowski’s inequalities

• Abstract: In this research paper, we improve some fractional integral inequalities of Minkowski-type. Precisely, we use a proportional fractional integral operator with respect to another strictly increasing continuous function ψ. The functions used in this work are bounded by two positive functions to get reverse Minkowski inequalities in a new sense. Moreover, we introduce new fractional integral inequalities which have a close relationship to the reverse Minkowski-type inequalities via ψ-proportional fractional integral, then with the help of this fractional integral operator, we discuss some new special cases of reverse Minkowski-type inequalities through this work. An open issue is covered in the conclusion section to extend the current findings to be more general.

• Analytical properties of type 2 degenerate poly-Bernoulli polynomials
associated with their applications

• Abstract: Recently, Kim et al. (Adv. Differ. Equ. 2020:168, 2020) considered the poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials resulting from the moderated version of degenerate polyexponential functions. In this paper, we investigate the degenerate type 2 poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials which are derived from the moderated version of degenerate polyexponential functions. Our degenerate type 2 degenerate poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials are different from those of Kim et al. (Adv. Differ. Equ. 2020:168, 2020) and Kim and Kim (Russ. J. Math. Phys. 26(1):40–49, 2019). Utilizing the properties of moderated degenerate poly-exponential function, we explore some properties of our type 2 degenerate poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. From our investigation, we derive some explicit expressions for type 2 degenerate poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. In addition, we also scrutinize type 2 degenerate unipoly-Bernoulli polynomials related to an arithmetic function and investigate some identities for those polynomials. In particular, we consider certain new explicit expressions and relations of type 2 degenerate unipoly-Bernoulli polynomials and numbers related to special numbers and polynomials. Further, some related beautiful zeros and graphical representations are displayed with the help of Mathematica.

• On pairs of fuzzy dominated mappings and applications

• Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to present some fixed-point results for a pair of fuzzy dominated mappings which are generalized V-contractions in modular-like metric spaces. Some theorems using a partial order are discussed and also some useful results to graphic contractions for fuzzy-graph dominated mappings are developed. To explain the validity of our results, 2D and 3D graphs have been constructed. Also, applications are provided to show the novelty of our obtained results and their usage in engineering and computer science.

• Unconditionally energy stable second-order numerical scheme for the
Allen–Cahn equation with a high-order polynomial free energy

• Abstract: In this article, we consider a temporally second-order unconditionally energy stable computational method for the Allen–Cahn (AC) equation with a high-order polynomial free energy potential. By modifying the nonlinear parts in the governing equation, we have a linear convex splitting scheme of the energy for the high-order AC equation. In addition, by combining the linear convex splitting with a strong-stability-preserving implicit–explicit Runge–Kutta (RK) method, the proposed method is linear, temporally second-order accurate, and unconditionally energy stable. Computational tests are performed to demonstrate that the proposed method is accurate, efficient, and energy stable.

• Computation of Fourier transform representations involving the generalized
Bessel matrix polynomials

• Abstract: Motivated by the recent studies and developments of the integral transforms with various special matrix functions, including the matrix orthogonal polynomials as kernels, in this article we derive the formulas for Fourier cosine and sine transforms of matrix functions involving generalized Bessel matrix polynomials. With the help of these transforms several results are obtained, which are extensions of the corresponding results in the standard cases. The results given here are of general character and can yield a number of (known and new) results in modern integral transforms.

• Discrete-time phytoplankton–zooplankton model with bifurcations and
chaos

• Abstract: The local dynamics with different topological classifications, bifurcation analysis, and chaos control for the phytoplankton–zooplankton model, which is a discrete analogue of the continuous-time model by a forward Euler scheme, are investigated. It is proved that the discrete-time phytoplankton–zooplankton model has trivial and semitrivial fixed points for all involved parameters, but it has an interior fixed point under the definite parametric condition. Then, by linear stability theory, local dynamics with different topological classifications are investigated around trivial, semitrivial, and interior fixed points. Further, for the discrete-time phytoplankton–zooplankton model, the existence of periodic points is also investigated. The existence of possible bifurcations around trivial, semitrivial, and interior fixed points is also investigated, and it is proved that there exists a transcritical bifurcation around a trivial fixed point. It is also proved that around trivial and semitrivial fixed points of the phytoplankton–zooplankton model there exists no flip bifurcation, but around an interior fixed point there exist both Neimark–Sacker and flip bifurcations. From the viewpoint of biology, the occurrence of Neimark–Sacker implies that there exist periodic or quasi-periodic oscillations between phytoplankton and zooplankton populations. Next, the feedback control method is utilized to stabilize chaos existing in the phytoplankton–zooplankton model. Finally, simulations are presented to validate not only obtained results but also the complex dynamics with orbits of period-8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15 and chaotic behavior of the discrete-time phytoplankton–zooplankton model.

• Best proximity point results and application to a system of
integro-differential equations

• Abstract: In this work, we solve the system of integro-differential equations (in terms of Caputo–Fabrizio calculus) using the concepts of the best proximity pair (point) and measure of noncompactness. We first introduce the concept of cyclic (noncyclic) Θ-condensing operator for a pair of sets using the measure of noncompactness and then establish results on the best proximity pair (point) on Banach spaces and strictly Banach spaces. In addition, we have illustrated the considered system of integro-differential equations by three examples and discussed the stability, efficiency, and accuracy of solutions.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose two new contractions via simulation function that involves rational expression in the setting of partial b-metric space. The obtained results not only extend, but also generalize and unify the existing results in two senses: in the sense of contraction terms and in the sense of the abstract setting. We present an example to indicate the validity of the main theorem.

• Exact solutions involving special functions for unsteady convective flow
of magnetohydrodynamic second grade fluid with ramped conditions

• Abstract: A number of mathematical methods have been developed to determine the complex rheological behavior of fluid’s models. Such mathematical models are investigated using statistical, empirical, analytical, and iterative (numerical) methods. Due to this fact, this manuscript proposes an analytical analysis and comparison between Sumudu and Laplace transforms for the prediction of unsteady convective flow of magnetized second grade fluid. The mathematical model, say, unsteady convective flow of magnetized second grade fluid, is based on nonfractional approach consisting of ramped conditions. In order to investigate the heat transfer and velocity field profile, we invoked Sumudu and Laplace transforms for finding the hidden aspects of unsteady convective flow of magnetized second grade fluid. For the sake of the comparative analysis, the graphical illustration is depicted that reflects effective results for the first time in the open literature. In short, the obtained profiles of temperature and velocity fields with Laplace and Sumudu transforms are in good agreement on the basis of numerical simulations.

• Solving common nonmonotone equilibrium problems using an inertial parallel
hybrid algorithm with Armijo line search with applications to image
recovery

• Abstract: In this work, we modify the inertial hybrid algorithm with Armijo line search using a parallel method to approximate a common solution of nonmonotone equilibrium problems in Hilbert spaces. A weak convergence theorem is proved under some continuity and convexity assumptions on the bifunction and the nonemptiness of the common solution set of Minty equilibrium problems. Furthermore, we demonstrate the quality of our inertial parallel hybrid algorithm by using image restoration, as well as its superior efficiency when compared with previously considered parallel algorithms.

• Multi-Lah numbers and multi-Stirling numbers of the first kind

• Abstract: In this paper, we introduce multi-Lah numbers and multi-Stirling numbers of the first kind and recall multi-Bernoulli numbers, all of whose generating functions are given with the help of multiple logarithm. The aim of this paper is to study several relations among those three kinds of numbers. In more detail, we represent the multi-Bernoulli numbers in terms of the multi-Stirling numbers of the first kind and vice versa, and the multi-Lah numbers in terms of multi-Stirling numbers. In addition, we deduce a recurrence relation for multi-Lah numbers.

• Improved criteria for oscillation of noncanonical neutral differential
equations of even order

• Abstract: In this work, we aim at studying the asymptotic and oscillatory behavior of even-order neutral delay noncanonical differential equations. To the best of our knowledge, most of the related previous works are concerned only with neutral equations in the canonical case. Our new oscillation criteria essentially improve, simplify, and complement related results in the literature, especially those from a paper by Li and Rogovchenko (Abstr. Appl. Anal. 2014:395368, 2014). Some examples are presented that illustrate the importance of the new criteria.

• Modeling the health impact of water and sanitation service deficits on
waterborne disease transmission

• Abstract: Cholera is a waterborne disease that continues to pose serious public health problems in many developing countries. Increasing water and sanitation coverage is a goal for local authorities in these countries, as it can eliminate one of the root causes of cholera transmission. The SIWDR (susceptible–infected–water–dumpsite–recovered) model is proposed here to evaluate the effects of the improved coverage of water and sanitation services in a community at risk of a cholera outbreak. This paper provides a mathematical study of the dynamics of the water and sanitation (WatSan) deficits and their public health impact in a community. The theoretical analysis of the SIWDR model gave a certain threshold value (known as the basic reproductive number and denoted $$\mathcal{R}_{0}$$ ) to stop the transmission of cholera. It was found that the disease-free equilibrium was globally asymptotically stable whenever $$\mathcal{R}_{0} \leq 1$$ . The unique endemic equilibrium was globally asymptotically stable whenever $$\mathcal{R}_{0} >1$$ . Sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the relative importance of model parameters to disease transmission and prevention. The numerical simulation results, using realistic parameter values in describing cholera transmission in Haiti, showed that improving the drinking water supply, wastewater and sewage treatment, and solid waste disposal services would be effective strategies for controlling the transmission pathways of this waterborne disease.

• A generalized neutral-type inclusion problem in the frame of the
generalized Caputo fractional derivatives

• Abstract: In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for a generalized sequential Caputo-type fractional neutral differential inclusion with generalized integral conditions. The used fractional operator has the generalized kernel in the format of $$( \vartheta (t)-\vartheta (s))$$ along with differential operator $$\frac{1}{\vartheta '(t)}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}$$ . We obtain existence results for two cases of convex-valued and nonconvex-valued multifunctions in two separated sections. We derive our findings by means of the fixed point principles in the context of the set-valued analysis. We give two suitable examples to validate the theoretical results.
