Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

    The polynomials play an important role in mathematics and science. We aim to focus on two applications of these well-known mathematical objects in this Issue: special polynomials and number theory.
    The special polynomials (including Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and their generalizations)  possess several applications in many branches of pure and applied mathematics. On the other hand, the nth Bernoulli polynomial Bn(X), for example, is a special bridge between certain mathematical topics; we refer here only to the classical formula by Jacob Bernoulli, 1k+2k+… +(x-1)k=1/(k+1)(Bk+1(x)-Bk+1(0))
   
The application of polynomials in number theory, especially in the theory of diophantine equations, goes back to the famous result of LeVeque from 1964. Let f(X) be a polynomial with rational coefficients, and let r1,…,rn denote the multiplicities of its zeros. LeVeque's theorem states that for given m>1 , the superelliptic equation  f(x) = ym in integers x, y has only finitely many solutions, unless {m/(m, r1),…, m/(m, rn)} is a permutation of one of the n-tuples {t, 1,..., 1}, t >0, and {2, 2, 1,..., 1}.
    This was an ineffective finiteness result; later, several authors obtained effective versions providing an upper bound for x and y. However, one can see that to apply LeVeque's condition for a broad class of polynomial diophantine equations is a rather hard problem, because we have to determine the structure of zeros of an infinite family of polynomials.
    The expected high-level articles should be a novel research contribution or an expository survey article related to the above-mentioned topics touching the role of symmetry.

In this article, a collocation method using radial polynomials (RPs) based on the multiquadric (MQ) radial basis function (RBF) for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) is proposed. The new global RPs include only even order radial terms formulated from the binomial series using the Taylor series expansion of the MQ RBF. Similar to the MQ RBF, the RPs is infinitely smooth and differentiable. The proposed RPs may be regarded as the equivalent expression of the MQ RBF in series form in which no any extra shape parameter is required. Accordingly, the challenging task for finding the optimal shape parameter in the Kansa method is avoided. Several numerical implementations, including problems in two and three dimensions, are conducted to demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method. The results depict that the method may find solutions with high accuracy, while the radial polynomial terms is greater than 6. Finally, our method may obtain more accurate results than the Kansa method. Full article

In this paper, we introduce q-cosine and q-sine Euler polynomials and determine identities for these polynomials. From these polynomials, we obtain some special properties using a power series of q-trigonometric functions, properties of q-exponential functions, and q-analogues of the binomial theorem. We investigate the approximate roots of q-cosine Euler polynomials that help us understand these polynomials. Moreover, we display the approximate roots movements of q-cosine Euler polynomials in a complex plane using the Newton method. Full article

In this paper, we present a Durrmeyer type generalization of parametric Bernstein operators. Firstly, we study the approximation behaviour of these operators including a local and global approximation results and the rate of approximation for the Lipschitz type space. The Voronovskaja type asymptotic formula and the rate of convergence of functions with derivatives of bounded variation are established. Finally, the theoretical results are demonstrated by using MAPLE software. Full article

In this paper, the class of the twice-iterated 2D q-Appell polynomials is introduced. The generating function, series definition and some relations including the recurrence relations and partial q-difference equations of this polynomial class are established. The determinant expression for the twice-iterated 2D q-Appell polynomials is also derived. Further, certain twice-iterated 2D q-Appell and mixed type special q-polynomials are considered as members of this polynomial class. The determinant expressions and some other properties of these associated members are also obtained. The graphs and surface plots of some twice-iterated 2D q-Appell and mixed type 2D q-Appell polynomials are presented for different values of indices by using Matlab. Moreover, some areas of potential applications of the subject matter of, and the results derived in, this paper are indicated. Full article
