Inclusion properties for certain classes of meromorphic functions associated with the Choi–Saigo–Srivastava operator

The purpose of the present paper is to introduce several new classes of meromorphic functions defined by using a meromorphic analogue of the Choi–Saigo–Srivastava operator for analytic functions and investigate various inclusion properties of these classes. Some interesting applications involving these and other classes of integral operators are also considered.     

Properties for uniformly starlike and related functions under the Srivastava-Attiya operator

In the present paper, we introduce and investigate classes of analytic functions involving the Srivastava-Attiya operator. Basic properties for β-uniformly starlike functions of order γ are studied, such as inclusion relations, sufficient conditions, coefficient inequalities and distortion inequalities. The results are also extended to β-uniformly convex, close-to-convex, and quasi-convex functions. Relevant connections of the results presented here with those obtained in earlier works are also pointed out.     

Decomposition formulas for some triple hypergeometric functions

With the help of some techniques based upon certain inverse pairs of symbolic operators, the authors investigate several decomposition formulas associated with Srivastava's hypergeometric functions HA, HB and HC in three variables. Many operator identities involving these pairs of symbolic operators are first constructed for this purpose. By means of these operator identities, as many as 15 decomposition formulas are then found, which express the aforementioned triple hypergeometric functions in terms of such simpler functions as the products of the Gauss and Appell hypergeometric functions. Other closely-related results are also considered briefly.     

Shift-and-Invert Krylov Methods for Time-Fractional Wave Equations

The article deals with evolution problems involving time derivatives of fractional order α, with 1 < α ≤2. The solutions are expressed in terms of operator Mittag-Leffler functions. The action of such operator functions is approximated by rational Krylov methods whose convergence features are investigated.     

Coefficient Estimates for Certain Subclasses of Bi-Univalent Ma-Minda Mocanu-Convex Functions

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a new subclass of the function class Σ of bi-univalent functions of the Mocanu-convex type defined in the open unit disk, satisfy Ma and Minda subordination conditions. Furthermore, we find estimates on the Taylor-Maclaurin coefficients |a2| and |a3| for functions in the new subclass introduced here. Further Application of Hohlov operator to this class is obtained. Several(known or new) consequences of the results are also pointed out.     

Symbolic operational images and decomposition formulas for hypergeometric functions

Based upon the classical derivative and integral operators we introduce a new operator which allows the derivation of new symbolic operational images for hypergeometric functions. By means of these symbolic operational images a number of decomposition formulas involving quadruple series are then found. Other closely-related results are also considered.     

Properties of Some Families of Meromorphic Multivalent Functions Associated with Generalized Hypergeometric Functions

We introduce and study two subclasses ?_([α_1])(A, B, λ) and ?_([α_1])~+ (A, B, λ) of meromorphic p-valent functions defined by certain linear operator involving the generalized hypergeometric function. The main object is to investigate the various important properties and characteristics of these subclasses of meromorphically multivalent functions. We extend the familiar concept of neighborhoods of analytic functions to these subclasses. We also derive many interesting results for the Hadamard products of functions belonging to the class ?_([α_1])~+(α, β, γ, λ).     

Indefinite integrals of products of special functions

A method is given for deriving indefinite integrals involving squares and other products of functions which are solutions of second-order linear differential equations. Several variations of the method are presented, which applies directly to functions which obey homogeneous differential equations. However, functions which obey inhomogeneous equations can be incorporated into the products and examples are given of integrals involving products of Bessel functions combined with Lommel, Anger and Weber functions. Many new integrals are derived for a selection of special functions, including Bessel functions, associated Legendre functions, and elliptic integrals. A number of integrals of products of Gauss hypergeometric functions are also presented, which seem to be the first integrals of this type. All results presented have been numerically checked with Mathematica.

By making use of a general linear operator , the authors introduce several new subclasses of multivalent functions and investigate various inclusion relationships and argument properties associated with these subclasses. Some interesting applications involving such and other families of linear operators are also considered. The results presented here include a number of known results as their special cases.     

Fixed point theorems for multifunctions with applications to discontinuous operator and differential equations

Moreover, we point out some new and interesting applications of our main result to the other classes of multivalent meromorphic functions.     

Basis problems for matrix valued functions

Basis problems for self-adjoint matrix valued functions are studied. We suggest a new and nonstandard method to solve basis problems both in finite and infinite dimensional spaces. Although many results in this paper are given for operator functions in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, but to demonstrate practicability of this method and to present a full solution of basis problems, in this paper we often restrict ourselves to matrix valued functions which generate Rayleigh systems on the n-dimensional complex space Cn. The suggested method is an improvement of an approach given recently in our paper [M. Hasanov, A class of nonlinear equations in Hilbert space and its applications to completeness problems, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 328 (2007) 1487-1494], which is based on the extension of the resolvent of a self-adjoint operator function to isolated eigenvalues and the properties of quadratic forms of the extended resolvent. This approach is especially useful for nonanalytic and nonsmooth operator functions when a suitable factorization formula fails to exist.     

On classes of analytic functions defined by convolution with incomplete beta functions

Carlson and Shaffer [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 15 (1984) 737-745] defined a convolution operator L(a,c) on the class A of analytic functions involving an incomplete beta function ?(a,c;z) as L(a,c)f=?(a,c)?f. We use this operator to introduce certain classes of analytic functions in the unit disk and study their properties including some inclusion results, coefficient and radius problems. It is shown that these classes are closed under convolution with convex functions.     

A convolution for the Hankel–Kontorovich–Lebedev transformation

The analysis of a kernel involving the product of three Bessel functions motivates the introduction of the translation operator and the convolution associated to the Hankel–Kontorovich–Lebedev tranformation, first in a classical framework, and then in certain spaces of generalized functions. The main properties of this convolution are investigated, the more important operational rules are obtained and some applications are shown. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

New indefinite integrals of Heun functions

We present a conspicuous number of indefinite integrals involving Heun functions and their products obtained by means of the Lagrangian formulation of a general homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation. As a by-product we also derive new indefinite integrals involving the Gauss hypergeometric function and products of hypergeometric functions with elliptic functions of the first kind. All integrals we obtained cannot be computed using Maple and Mathematica.     

Maximal Monotone Operators, Convex Functions and a Special Family of Enlargements

This work establishes new connections between maximal monotone operators and convex functions. Associated to each maximal monotone operator, there is a family of convex functions, each of which characterizes the operator. The basic tool in our analysis is a family of enlargements, recently introduced by Svaiter. This family of convex functions is in a one-to-one relation with a subfamily of these enlargements. We study the family of convex functions, and determine its extremal elements. An operator closely related to the Legendre–Fenchel conjugacy is introduced and we prove that this family of convex functions is invariant under this operator. The particular case in which the operator is a subdifferential of a convex function is discussed.     

Ma jorization Results and Coefficients Bounds for a Class of Univalent Functions Asso ciated with Operator

In this paper we introduce a new general subclass n,g ∑ a,λ(A, B,α) of univalent func-tions related the known integral operator and differential operator. Some majorization re-sults for n,g ∑ a,λ(A, B, 1) as well as the other functions are given. Furthermore, we find the coefficients bounds on|a2|and|a3|for functions in?n,g ∑ a,λ(A1, B1, A2, B2,α1,α2), which is the bi-univalent functions defined by n,g ∑ a,λ(A, B,α) and subordination. By giving specific values of the parameters of our main results, several(known or new) consequences of main results are also discussed.     

Generalized B-vex functions and generalized B-vex programming

A class of functions called pseudo B-vex and quasi B-vex functions is introduced by relaxing the definitions of B-vex, pseudoconvex, and quasiconvex functions. Similarly, the class of B-invex, pseudo B-invex, and quasi B-invex functions is defined as a generalization of B-vex, pseudo B-vex, and quasi B-vex functions. The sufficient optimality conditions and duality results are obtained for a nonlinear programming problem involving B-vex and B-invex functions.The first author is thankful to the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada for financial support through Grant A-5319.

A class of nonlinear equations in Hilbert space and its application to completeness problems

Nonlinear equations arising in the spectral theory of self-adjoint operator functions and related completeness problems for eigenvectors are studied. A separation theorem about the values of the Rayleigh functional on solutions of a nonlinear equation is proved. This theorem is used, as a new approach to establish completeness of eigenvectors for some classes of self-adjoint operator functions. Examples from matrix pencils are given.
