The aim of this paper is to give generating functions for parametrically generalized polynomials that are related to the combinatorial numbers, the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers, the Euler polynomials and numbers, the cosine-Bernoulli polynomials, the sine-Bernoulli polynomials, the cosine-Euler polynomials, and the sine-Euler polynomials. We investigate some properties of these generating functions. By applying Euler’s formula to these generating functions, we derive many new and interesting formulas and relations related to these special polynomials and numbers mentioned as above. Some special cases of the results obtained in this article are examined. With this special case, detailed comments and comparisons with previously available results are also provided. Furthermore, we come up with open questions about interpolation functions for these polynomials. The main results of this paper highlight the existing symmetry between numbers and polynomials in a more general framework. These include Bernouilli, Euler, and Catalan polynomials. Full article

In this study, a new modified group iterative scheme for solving the two-dimensional (2D) fractional hyperbolic telegraph differential equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions is obtained from the 2h-spaced standard and rotated Crank–Nicolson FD approximations. The findings of new four-point modified explicit group relaxation method demonstrates the rapid rate of convergence of proposed method as compared to the existing schemes. Numerical tests are performed to test the capability of the group iterative scheme in comparison with the point iterative scheme counterparts. The stability of the derived modified group method is proven by the matrix norm algorithm. The obtained results are tabulated and concluded that exact solutions are exactly symmetric with approximate solutions. Full article

The main purpose of this paper is to define p-adic and q-Dedekind type sums. Using the Volkenborn integral and the Teichmüller character representations of the Bernoulli polynomials, we give reciprocity law of these sums. These sums and their reciprocity law generalized some of the classical p-adic Dedekind sums and their reciprocity law. It is to be noted that the Dedekind reciprocity laws, is a fine study of the existing symmetry relations between the finite sums, considered in our study, and their symmetries through permutations of initial parameters.

This article presents a new method for generating distributions. This method combines two techniques—the transformed—transformer and alpha power transformation approaches—allowing for tremendous flexibility in the resulting distributions. The new approach is applied to introduce the alpha power Weibull—exponential distribution. The density of this distribution can take asymmetric and near-symmetric shapes. Various asymmetric shapes, such as decreasing, increasing, L-shaped, near-symmetrical, and right-skewed shapes, are observed for the related failure rate function, making it more tractable for many modeling applications. Some significant mathematical features of the suggested distribution are determined. Estimates of the unknown parameters of the proposed distribution are obtained using the maximum likelihood method. Furthermore, some numerical studies were carried out, in order to evaluate the estimation performance. Three practical datasets are considered to analyze the usefulness and flexibility of the introduced distribution. The proposed alpha power Weibull–exponential distribution can outperform other well-known distributions, showing its great adaptability in the context of real data analysis. Full article

Multivariate statistical methods are widely used in several disciplines of fundamental sciences. In the present study, the data analysis of the chemical analysis of the sands of Moonlight Beach in the Kemer region was examined using multivariate statistical methods. This study consists of three parts. The multivariate statistical analysis tests were described in the first part, then the pollution indexes were studied in the second part. Finally, the distribution maps of the chemical analyses and pollution indexes were generated using the obtained data. The heavy metals were mostly observed in location K1, while they were sorted as follows based on their concentrations: Mg > Fe > Al > Ti > Sr > Mn > Cr > Ni > Zn > Zr > Cu > Rb. Also, strong positive correlations were found between Si, Fe, Al, K, Ti, P. According to the results of factor analysis, it was found that four factors explained 83.5% of the total variance. On the other hand, the coefficient of determination (R²) was calculated as 63.6% in the regression model. Each unit increase in the value of Ti leads to an increase of 0.022 units in the value of Si. Potential Ecological Risk Index analysis results (RI < 150) revealed that the study area had no risk. However, the locations around Moonlight Beach are under risk in terms of Enrichment Factor and Contamination Factor values. The index values of heavy metals in the anomaly maps and their densities were found to be successful; and higher densities were observed based on heavy metal anomalies. Full article
