Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinear and convex analysis has become a very important tool in several branches of mathematics, including optimization problems, variational inequalities, equilibrium problems, differential equations, calculus of variation, fixed-point problems, etc. This Issue aims to attract original research works of high quality on nonlinear and convex analysis in relation with the notion of symmetry. Submissions are welcome in these areas and related fields.

In this article, we propose a fourth-order non-self-adjoint system of singular boundary value problems (SBVPs), which arise in the theory of epitaxial growth by considering hte equation 1rβrβ1rβ(rβΘ)=12rβK11μΘ2+2μΘΘ+K12μφ2+2μφφ+λ1G1(r),1rβrβ1rβ(rβφ)=12rβK21μΘ2+2μΘΘ+K22μφ2+2μφφ+λ2G2(r), where λ10 and λ20 are two parameters, μ=pr2β2,pR+, G1,G2L1[0,1] such that M1*G1(r)M1>0,M2*G2(r)M2>0 and K12>0, K110, and K21>0, K220 are constants that are connected by the relation (K12+K22)(K11+K21) and β>1. To study the governing equation, we consider three different types of homogeneous boundary conditions. We use the transformation t=r1+β1+β to deduce the second-order singular boundary value problem. Also, for β=p=G1(r)=G2(r)=1, it admits dual solutions. We show the existence of at least one solution in continuous space. We derive a sign of solutions. Furthermore, we compute the approximate bound of the parameters to point out the region of nonexistence. We also conclude bounds are symmetric with respect to two different transformations.

Using barrier strip conditions, we study the solvability of two-point boundary value problems for the equation x(n)=f(t,x,x,,x(n1)). In the case n=4, we apply the used approach to obtain results guaranteeing positive or non-negative, monotone, convex solutions to boundary value problems with various boundary conditions.

In this paper, we propose the new iterative method (NIM) for solving the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation. NIM provides an approximate solution without the need for discretization and is based on a set of iterative equations. We compared the NIM with other established methods, such as Variational Iteration Method (VIM), Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM), and the exact solution, and found that it is efficient and easy to use. NIM has the advantage of quick convergence, easy implementation, and handling of a wide range of initial conditions. The comparison of the present symmetrical results with the existing literature is satisfactory. Full article

In this paper, we proposed two mixed algorithms of Newton’s and Abbasbandy’s methods using a known iteration scheme from fixed point theory in polynomiography. We numerically investigated some properties of the proposed algorithms using periodic sequence parameters instead of the constant parameters that are mostly used by many authors. Two pseudo-Newton algorithms were introduced based on the mixed iterations for the purpose of generating polynomiographs. The properties of the obtained polynomiographs were studied with respect to their graphics, turning effects and computation time. Moreover, some of these polynomiographs exhibited symmetrical properties when the degree of the polynomial was even. Full article

As technology advances and the Internet makes our world a global village, it is important to understand the prospective career of freelancing. A novel symmetric fractional mathematical model is introduced in this study to describe the competitive market of freelancing and the significance of information in its acceptance. In this study, fixed point theory is applied to analyze the uniqueness and existence of the fractional freelance model. Its numerical solution is derived using the fractional Euler’s method, and each case has been presented graphically as well as tabular. Further, the results have been compared with the classic freelance model and real data to show the importance of this model. Full article

In this paper, we consider a certain class of third-order nonlinear delay differential equations with distributed arguments. By the principle of comparison, we obtain the conditions for the nonexistence of positive decreasing solutions as well as, and by using the Riccati transformation technique, we obtain the conditions for the nonexistence of increasing solutions. Therefore, we get new sufficient criteria that ensure that every solution of the studied equation oscillates. Asymmetry plays an important role in describing the properties of solutions of differential equations. An example is given to illustrate the importance of our results. Full article

The object of this article is to explore a τ-pseudo-ν-convex κ-fold symmetric bi-univalent function family satisfying subordinations condition generalizing certain previously examined families. We originate the initial Taylor–Maclaurin coefficient estimates of functions in the defined family. The classical Fekete–Szegö inequalities for functions in the defined τ-pseudo-ν-convex family is also estimated. Furthermore, we present some of the special cases of the main results. Relevant connections with those in several earlier works are also pointed out. Our study in this paper is also motivated by the symmetry nature of κ-fold symmetric bi-univalent functions in the defined class. Full article

We consider three new classes of meromorphic functions defined by an extension of the Wanas operator and two integral operators, in order to study some preservation properties of the classes. The purpose of the paper is to find the conditions such that, when we apply the integral operator Jp,γ to some function from the new defined classes ΣSp,qn(α,δ), respectively ΣSp,qn(α), we obtain also a function from the same class. We also define a new integral operator on the class of meromorphic functions, denoted by Jp,γ,h, where h is a normalized analytic function on the unit disc. We study some basic properties of this operator. Then we look for the conditions which allow this operator to preserve a particular subclass of the classes mentioned above. Full article

Discrete integrable nonlinear differential difference equations (NDDEs) have various mathematical structures and properties, such as Lax pair, infinitely many conservation laws, Hamiltonian structure, and different kinds of symmetries, including Lie point symmetry, generalized Lie bäcklund symmetry, and master symmetry. Symmetry is one of the very effective methods used to study the exact solutions and integrability of NDDEs. The Toda lattice equation is a famous example of NDDEs, which may be used to simulate the motions of particles in lattices. In this paper, we investigated the generalized Toda lattice equation related to 3×3 matrix linear spectral problem. This discrete equation is related to continuous linear and nonlinear partial differential equations under the continuous limit. Based on the known 3×3 Lax pair of this equation, the discrete generalized (m,3Nm)-fold Darboux transformation was constructed for the first time and extended from the 2×2 Lax pair to the 3×3 Lax pair to give its rational solutions. Furthermore, the limit states of such rational solutions are discussed via the asymptotic analysis technique. Finally, the exponential–rational mixed solutions of the generalized Toda lattice equation are obtained in the form of determinants. Full article

This research paper is dedicated to an investigation of an evolution problem under a new operator (g-Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo type fractional derivative)(for short, g-ABC). For the proposed problem, we construct sufficient conditions for some properties of the solution like existence, uniqueness and stability analysis. Existence and uniqueness results are proved based on some fixed point theorems such that Banach and Krasnoselskii. Furthermore, through mathematical analysis techniques, we analyze different types of stability results. The symmetric properties aid in identifying the best strategy for getting the correct solution of fractional differential equations. An illustrative example is discussed for the control problem.
