Some characterizations of strongly preinvex functions

In this paper, a new class of generalized convex function is introduced, which is called the strongly α-preinvex function. We study some properties of strongly α-preinvex function. In particular, we establish the equivalence among the strongly α-preinvex functions, strongly α-invex functions and strongly αη-monotonicity under some suitable conditions. As special cases, one can obtain several new and previously known results for α-preinvex (invex) functions.     

Carleman-type theorems for generalized Q-holomorphic functions

In this work, we reduce the boundary condition of Riemann–Hilbert problem for generalized Q-holomorphic functions to the Vekua-type canonical form and obtain an appropriate analogue to the Carleman type representation for generalized Q-holomorphic functions.     

On a transplant operator and explicit construction of Cauchy-type integral representations for p-analytic functions

We present a new technique for explicit construction of Cauchy kernels and Cauchy integral representations for a class of generalized analytic functions and p-analytic functions.     

Generalized G-KKM Theorems in Generalized Convex Spaces and Their Applications

Some new generalized G-KKM and generalized S-KKM theorems are proved under the noncompact setting of generalized convex spaces. As applications, some new minimax inequalities, saddle point theorems, a coincidence theorem, and a fixed point theorem are given in generalized convex spaces. These theorems improve and generalize many important known results in recent literature.     

Some subclasses of multivalent functions involving a certain linear operator

The authors investigate various inclusion and other properties of several subclasses of the class Ap of normalized p-valent analytic functions in the open unit disk, which are defined here by means of a certain linear operator. Problems involving generalized neighborhoods of analytic functions in the class Ap are investigated. Finally, some applications of fractional calculus operators are considered.     

A family of p-adic twisted interpolation functions associated with the modified Bernoulli numbers

The main purpose of this paper is to construct a family of modified p-adic twisted functions, which interpolate the modified twisted q-Bernoulli polynomials and the generalized twisted q-Bernoulli numbers at negative integers. We also give some applications and examples related to these functions and numbers.     

Soliton solutions for (2 + 1)-dimensional and (3 + 1)-dimensional K(m, n) equations

We consider the nonlinear dispersive K(m,n) equation with the generalized evolution term and derive analytical expressions for some conserved quantities. By using a solitary wave ansatz in the form of sech^p function, we obtain exact bright soliton solutions for (2 + 1)-dimensional and (3 + 1)-dimensional K(m,n) equations with the generalized evolution terms. The results are then generalized to multi-dimensional K(m,n) equations in the presence of the generalized evolution term. An extended form of the K(m,n) equation with perturbation term is investigated. Exact bright soliton solution for the proposed K(m,n) equation having higher-order nonlinear term is determined. The physical parameters in the soliton solutions are obtained as function of the dependent model coefficients.     

Certain summation formulas involving harmonic numbers and generalized harmonic numbers

Harmonic numbers and generalized harmonic numbers have been studied since the distant past and involved in a wide range of diverse fields such as analysis of algorithms in computer science, various branches of number theory, elementary particle physics and theoretical physics. Here we aim at presenting further interesting identities about certain finite or infinite series involving harmonic numbers and generalized harmonic numbers by applying an algorithmic method to a known summation formula for the hypergeometric function ₅F₄(1).     

Factoring and recognition of read-once functions using cographs and normality and the readability of functions associated with partial k-trees

An approach for factoring general boolean functions was described in Golumbic and Mintz [Factoring logic functions using graph partitioning, in: Proceedings of IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer Aided Design, November 1999, pp. 195-198] and Mintz and Golumbic [Factoring Boolean functions using graph partitioning, Discrete Appl. Math. 149 (2005) 131-153] which is based on graph partitioning algorithms. In this paper, we present a very fast algorithm for recognizing and factoring read-once functions which is needed as a dedicated factoring subroutine to handle the lower levels of that factoring process. The algorithm is based on algorithms for cograph recognition and on checking normality.For non-read-once functions, we investigate their factoring based on their corresponding graph classes. In particular, we show that if a function F is normal and its corresponding graph is a partial k-tree, then F is a read 2^k function and a read 2^k formula for F can be obtained in polynomial time.     

A new characterization of group action-based perfect nonlinearity

The left-regular multiplication is explicitly embedded in the notion of perfect nonlinearity. But there exist many other group actions. By replacing translations by another group action the new concept of group action-based perfect nonlinearity has been introduced. In this paper we show that this generalized concept of nonlinearity is actually equivalent to a new bentness notion that deals with functions defined on a finite Abelian group G that acts on a finite set X and with values in the finite-dimensional vector space of complex-valued functions defined on X.     

On the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of generalized quadratic mappings in Banach modules

We prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of generalized A-quadratic mappings of type (P) in Banach modules over a Banach ∗-algebra, and of generalized A-quadratic mappings of type (R) in Banach modules over a Banach ∗-algebra.     

Large degree asymptotics of generalized Bessel polynomials

Asymptotic expansions are given for large values of n of the generalized Bessel polynomials . The analysis is based on integrals that follow from the generating functions of the polynomials. A new simple expansion is given that is valid outside a compact neighborhood of the origin in the z-plane. New forms of expansions in terms of elementary functions valid in sectors not containing the turning points z=±i/n are derived, and a new expansion in terms of modified Bessel functions is given. Earlier asymptotic expansions of the generalized Bessel polynomials by Wong and Zhang (1997) and Dunster (2001) are discussed.     

A class of B-(p,r)-invex functions and mathematical programming

Invexity of a function is generalized. The new class of nonconvex functions, called B-(p,r)-invex functions with respect to η and b, being introduced, includes many well-known classes of generalized invex functions as its subclasses. Some properties of the introduced class of B-(p,r)-invex functions with respect to η and b are studied. Further, mathematical programming problems involving B-(p,r)-invex functions with respect to η and b are considered. The equivalence between saddle points and optima, and different type duality theorems are established for this type of optimization problems.     

A recursion formula for k-Schur functions

The Bernstein operators allow one to build recursively the Schur functions. We present a recursion formula for k-Schur functions at t=1 based on combinatorial operators that generalize the Bernstein operators. The recursion leads immediately to a combinatorial interpretation for the expansion coefficients of k-Schur functions at t=1 in terms of homogeneous symmetric functions.     

Regular rapidly decreasing nonlinear generalized functions. Application to microlocal regularity

We present new types of regularity for nonlinear generalized functions, based on the notion of regular growth with respect to the regularizing parameter of the Colombeau simplified model. This generalizes the notion of G^∞-regularity introduced by M. Oberguggenberger. A key point is that these regularities can be characterized, for compactly supported generalized functions, by a property of their Fourier transform. This opens the door to microanalysis of singularities of generalized functions, with respect to these regularities. We present a complete study of this topic, including properties of the Fourier transform (exchange and regularity theorems) and relationship with classical theory, via suitable results of embeddings.     

Free quasi-symmetric functions and descent algebras for wreath products, and noncommutative multi-symmetric functions

We introduce analogs of the Hopf algebra of Free quasi-symmetric functions with bases labeled by colored permutations. When the color set is a semigroup, an internal product can be introduced. This leads to the construction of generalized descent algebras associated with wreath products Γ?S_n and to the corresponding generalizations of quasi-symmetric functions. The associated Hopf algebras appear as natural analogs of McMahon’s multisymmetric functions. As a consequence, we obtain an internal product on ordinary multi-symmetric functions. We extend these constructions to Hopf algebras of colored parking functions, colored non-crossing partitions and parking functions of type B.     

Homogeneity in generalized function algebras

We investigate homogeneity in the special Colombeau algebra on Rd as well as on the pierced space Rd?{0}. It is shown that strongly scaling invariant functions on Rd are simply the constants. On the pierced space, strongly homogeneous functions of degree α admit tempered representatives, whereas on the whole space, such functions are polynomials with generalized coefficients. We also introduce weak notions of homogeneity and show that these are consistent with the classical notion on the distributional level. Moreover, we investigate the relation between generalized solutions of the Euler differential equation and homogeneity.     

Some asymptotic relations for the generalized inverse

In this paper we investigate the connection between the asymptotic relations of subordination and the negligence with the generalized inverse function in the class of all nondecreasing and unbounded functions, which are defined on a half-axis [a,+∞)(a>0). In the main theorems we prove a characterization of all nondecreasing, unbounded slowly varying functions.
