Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The theory of generalized orthogonal polynomials and special functions is applied in different branches of pure and applied mathematics, as well as in physics. A combination of techniques involving methods of an algebraic nature and numerical methods may offer a powerful tool to solve problems in pure and applied mathematics. In the last years, the combined use of operational methods, orthogonal polynomials, and special functions has provided solutions that are hardly achievable with conventional means. Furthermore, the structural properties of polynomials in the framework of standard L2 orthogonality with respect to a Borel measure (or a weight function) have been deeply studied for other patterns of orthogonality, like multiple orthogonal polynomials, orthogonal polynomials in several variables, or Sobolev orthogonal polynomials.

There is great focus on phenomena that depend on their past history or their past state. The mathematical models of these phenomena can be described by differential equations of a self-referred type. This paper is devoted to studying the solvability of a state-dependent integro-differential inclusion. The existence and uniqueness of solutions to a state-dependent functional integro-differential inclusion with delay nonlocal condition is studied. We, moreover, conclude the existence of solutions to the problem with the integral condition and the infinite-point boundary one. Some properties of the solutions are given. Finally, two examples illustrating the main result are presented. Full article

In this paper, we propose a suitable combination of two different Nyström methods, both using the zeros of the same sequence of Jacobi polynomials, in order to approximate the solution of Fredholm integral equations on [−1,1]. The proposed procedure is cheaper than the Nyström scheme based on using only one of the described methods . Moreover, we can successfully manage functions with possible algebraic singularities at the endpoints and kernels with different pathologies. The error of the method is comparable with that of the best polynomial approximation in suitable spaces of functions, equipped with the weighted uniform norm. The convergence and the stability of the method are proved, and some numerical tests that confirm the theoretical estimates are given. Full article

Basic (or q-) series and basic (or q-) polynomials, especially the basic (or q-) hypergeometric functions and the basic (or q-) hypergeometric polynomials are studied extensively and widely due mainly to their potential for applications in many areas of mathematical and physical sciences. Here, in this paper, we introduce a general family of q-hypergeometric polynomials and investigate several q-series identities such as an extended generating function and a Srivastava-Agarwal type bilinear generating function for this family of q-hypergeometric polynomials. We give a transformational identity involving generating functions for the generalized q-hypergeometric polynomials which we have introduced here. We also point out relevant connections of the various q-results, which we investigate here, with those in several related earlier works on this subject. We conclude this paper by remarking that it will be a rather trivial and inconsequential exercise to give the so-called (p,q)-variations of the q-results, which we have investigated here, because the additional parameter p is obviously redundant.

The main purpose of the current article is to develop new specific and general linearization formulas of some classes of Jacobi polynomials. The basic idea behind the derivation of these formulas is based on reducing the linearization coefficients which are represented in terms of the Kampé de Fériet function for some particular choices of the involved parameters. In some cases, the required reduction is performed with the aid of some standard reduction formulas for certain hypergeometric functions of unit argument, while, in other cases, the reduction cannot be done via standard formulas, so we resort to certain symbolic algebraic computation, and specifically the algorithms of Zeilberger, Petkovsek, and van Hoeij. Some new linearization formulas of ultraspherical polynomials and third-and fourth-kinds Chebyshev polynomials are established. Full article
