A novel three-step simultaneous scheme for finding all distinct and multiple roots of non-linear equations are developed in this paper. Analysis of convergence demonstrates that the newly created scheme has an order of convergence of eight. A hybrid neural network-based simultaneous technique is also developed to expedite convergence. Neural network-based approaches outperform existing methods in terms of iterations, error, and CPU time, as demonstrated by the engineering applications’ results. The analysis of the considered approaches on random starting approximations reveals that the newly proposed methods are more stable and consistent than previous methods.

In recent years, the concept of fuzzy set has been incorporated into the field of geometric function theory, leading to the evolution of the classical concept of differential subordination into that of fuzzy differential subordination. In this study, certain generalized classes of $ p $ -valent analytic functions are defined in the context of fuzzy subordination. It is highlighted that for particular functions used in the definitions of those classes, the classes of fuzzy $ p $-valent convex and starlike functions are obtained, respectively. The new classes are introduced by using a $ \mathfrak{q} $-calculus operator defined in this investigation using the concept of convolution. Some inclusion results are discussed concerning the newly introduced classes based on the means given by the fuzzy differential subordination theory. Furthermore, connections are shown between the important results of this investigation and earlier ones. The second part of the investigation concerns a new generalized $ \mathfrak{q} $-calculus operator, defined here and having the $ (p, \mathfrak{q)} $-Bernardi operator as particular case, applied to the functions belonging to the new classes introduced in this study. Connections between the classes are established through this operator.

This paper revealed new fractional calculus applications of special functions in the geometric function theory. The aim of the study presented here was to introduce and begin the investigations on a new fractional calculus integral operator defined as the fractional integral of order $ \lambda $ for the Bessel function of the first kind. The focus of this research was on obtaining certain geometric properties that give necessary and sufficient univalence conditions for the new fractional calculus operator using the methods associated to differential subordination theory, also referred to as admissible functions theory, developed by Sanford S. Miller and Petru T. Mocanu. The paper discussed, in the proved theorems and corollaries, conditions that the fractional integral of the Bessel function of the first kind must comply in order to be a part of the sets of starlike functions, positive and negative order starlike functions, convex functions, positive and negative order convex functions, and close-to-convex functions, respectively. The geometric properties proved for the fractional integral of the Bessel function of the first kind recommend this function as a useful tool for future developments, both in geometric function theory in general, as well as in differential subordination and superordination theories in particular.

Third-order fuzzy differential subordination studies were recently initiated by developing the main concepts necessary for obtaining new results on this topic. The present paper introduces the dual concept of third-order fuzzy differential superordination by building on the known results that are valid for second-order fuzzy differential superordination. The outcome of this study offers necessary and sufficient conditions for determining subordinants of a third-order fuzzy differential superordination and, furthermore, for finding the best subordinant for such fuzzy differential superordiantion, when it can be obtained. An example to suggest further uses of the new outcome reported in this work is enclosed to conclude this study.

The present investigation focus on applying the theories of differential subordination, differential superordination and related sandwich-type results for the study of some subclasses of symmetric functions connected through a linear extended multiplier operator, which was previously defined by involving the $ q $-Choi-Saigo-Srivastava operator. The aim of the paper is to define a new class of analytic functions using the aforementioned linear extended multiplier operator and to obtain sharp differential subordinations and superordinations using functions from the new class. Certain subclasses are highlighted by specializing the parameters involved in the class definition, and corollaries are obtained as implementations of those new results using particular values for the parameters of the new subclasses. In order to show how the results apply to the functions from the recently introduced subclasses, numerical examples are also provided.

This paper establishes new results related to geometric function theory by presenting a new subclass of harmonic functions with complex values within the open unit disk, characterized by a second-order differential inequality. The investigation explores the bounds on the coefficients and estimates of the function growth. This paper also demonstrates that this subclass remains stable under the convolution operation applied to its members. In addition, in the last section, images of the unit disk under some functions of this class are given.

The topic concerning the introduction and investigation of new classes of analytic functions using subordination techniques for obtaining certain geometric properties alongside coefficient estimates and inclusion relations is enriched by the results of the present investigation. The prolific tools of quantum calculus applied in geometric function theory are employed for the investigation of a new class of analytic functions introduced by applying a previously defined generalized q−integral operator and the concept of subordination. Investigations are conducted on the new class, including coefficient estimates, integral representation for the functions of the class, linear combinations, forms of the weighted and arithmetic means involving functions from the class, and the estimation of the integral means results.

In this article, we first consider the fractional q-differential operator and the λ,q-fractional differintegral operator Dqλ:A→A. Using the λ,q-fractional differintegral operator, we define two new subclasses of analytic functions: the subclass S*q,β,λ of starlike functions of order β and the class CΣλ,qα of bi-close-to-convex functions of order β. We explore the results on coefficient inequality and Fekete–Szegö problems for functions belonging to the class S*q,β,λ. Using the Faber polynomial technique, we derive upper bounds for the nth coefficient of functions in the class of bi-close-to-convex functions of order β. We also investigate the erratic behavior of the initial coefficients in the class CΣλ,qα of bi-close-to-convex functions. Furthermore, we address some known problems to demonstrate the connection between our new work and existing research.

The roots of non-linear equations are a major challenge in many scientific and professional fields. This problem has been approached in a number of ways, including use of the sequential Newton's method and the traditional Weierstrass simultaneous iterative scheme. To approximate all of the roots of a given nonlinear equation, sequential iterative algorithms must use a deflation strategy because rounding errors can produce inaccurate results. This study aims to develop an efficient numerical simultaneous scheme for approximating all nonlinear equations' roots of convergence order 12. The numerical outcomes of the considered engineering problems show that, in terms of accuracy, validations, error, computational CPU time, and residual error, recently developed simultaneous methods perform better than existing methods in the literature.

Bi-univalent functions associated with the leaf-like domain within open unit disks are investigated, and a new subclass is introduced and studied in the research presented here. This is achieved by applying the subordination principle for analytic functions in conjunction with q-calculus. The class is proved to not be empty. By proving its existence, generalizations can be given to other sets of functions. In addition, coefficient bounds are examined with a particular focus on |α2| and |α3| coefficients, and Fekete–Szegö inequalities are estimated for the functions in this new class. To support the conclusions, previous works are cited for confirmation.

The focus of the present work is on the establishment and investigation of the coefficient estimates of two new subclasses of bi-close-to-convex functions and bi-concave functions; these are of an Ozaki type and involve a modified Caputo’s fractional operator that is associated with three-leaf functions in the open unit disc. The classes are defined using the notion of subordination based on the previously established fractional integral operators and classes of starlike functions associated with a three-leaf function. For functions in these classes, the Fekete-Szegö inequalities and the initial coefficients, |a2| and |a3|, are discussed. Several new implications of the findings are also highlighted as corollaries.

This Special Issue is a sequel to the successful first volume entitled “New Developments in Geometric Function Theory” [...]

The development of certain aspects of geometric function theory after incorporating fractional calculus and q-calculus aspects is obvious and indisputable. The study presented in this paper follows this line of research. New results are obtained by applying means of differential subordination and superordination theories involving an operator previously defined as the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of the q-hypergeometric function. Numerous theorems are stated and proved involving the fractional q-operator and differential subordinations for which the best dominants are found. Associated corollaries are given as applications of those results using particular functions as best dominants. Dual results regarding the fractional q-operator and differential superordinations are also considered and theorems are proved where the best subordinants are given. Using certain functions known for their remarkable geometric properties applied in the results as best subordinant, interesting corollaries emerge. As a conclusion of the investigations done by applying the means of the two dual theories considering the fractional q-operator, several sandwich-type theorems combine the subordination and superordiantion established results.

In this paper, we introduce and study a new subclass of normalized functions that are analytic and univalent in the open unit disk $ \mathbb{U} = \{z:z\in \mathcal{C}\; \; \text{and}\; \; |z| < 1\}, $ which satisfies the following geometric criterion: $ \begin{equation*} \Re\left(\frac{\mathcal{L}_{u, v}^{w}f(z)}{z}(1-e^{-2i\phi}\mu^2z^2)e^{i\phi}\right)>0, \end{equation*} $ where $ z\in \mathbb{U} $, $ 0\leqq \mu\leqq 1 $ and $ \phi\in \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) $, and which is associated with the Hohlov operator $ \mathcal{L}_{u, v}^{w} $. For functions in this class, the coefficient bounds, as well as upper estimates for the Fekete-Szegö functional and the Hankel determinant, are investigated.

A family of three-step optimal eighth-order iterative algorithm is developed in this paper in order to find single roots of nonlinear equations using the weight function technique. The newly proposed iterative methods of eight order convergence need three function evaluations and one first derivative evaluation that satisfies the Kung–Traub optimality conjecture in terms of computational cost per iteration (i.e. $ {2^{n - 1}} $ ). Furthermore, using the primary theorem that establishes the convergence order, the theoretical convergence properties of our schemes are thoroughly investigated. On several engineering applications, the performance and efficiency of our optimal iteration algorithms are examined to those of existing competitors. The new iterative schemes are more efficient than the existing methods in the literature, as illustrated by the basins of attraction, dynamical planes, efficiency, log of residual, and numerical test examples.

The evolution of a physical system occurs through a set of variables, and the problems can be treated based on an approach employing multivariable Hermite polynomials. These polynomials possess beneficial properties exhibited in functional and differential equations, recurring and explicit relations as well as symmetric identities, and summation formulae, among other examples. In view of these points, comprehensive schemes have been developed to apply the principle of monomiality from mathematical physics to various mathematical concepts of special functions, the development of which has encompassed generalizations, extensions, and combinations of other functions. Accordingly, this paper presents research on a novel family of multivariable Hermite polynomials associated with Frobenius–Genocchi polynomials, deriving the generating expression, operational rule, differential equation, and other defining characteristics for these polynomials. Additionally, the monomiality principle for these polynomials is verified, as well as establishing the series representations, summation formulae, operational and symmetric identities, and recurrence relations satisfied by these polynomials. This proposed scheme aims to provide deeper insights into the behavior of these polynomials and to uncover new connections between these polynomials, to enhance understanding of their properties.

The present research aims to present new results regarding the fundamental problem of providing sufficient conditions for finding the best subordinant of a third-order differential superordination. A theorem revealing such conditions is first proved in a general context. As another aspect of novelty, the best subordinant is determined using the results of the first theorem for a third-order differential superordination involving the Gaussian hypergeometric function. Next, by applying the results obtained in the first proved theorem, the focus is shifted to proving the conditions for knowing the best subordinant of a particular third-order differential superordination. Such conditions are determined involving the properties of the subordination chains. This study is completed by providing means for determining the best subordinant for a particular third-order differential superordination involving convex functions. In a corollary, the conditions obtained are adapted to the special case when the convex functions involved have a more simple form.

The notions of strong differential subordination and its dual, strong differential superordination, have been introduced as extensions of the classical differential subordination and superordination concepts, respectively. The dual theories have developed nicely, and important results have been obtained involving different types of operators and certain hypergeometric functions. In this paper, quantum calculus and fractional calculus aspects are added to the study. The well-known q-hypergeometric function is given a form extended to fit the study concerning previously introduced classes of functions specific to strong differential subordination and superordination theories. Riemann–Liouville fractional integral of extended q-hypergeometric function is defined here, and it is involved in the investigation of strong differential subordinations and superordinations. The best dominants and the best subordinants are provided in the theorems that are proved for the strong differential subordinations and superordinations, respectively. For particular functions considered due to their remarkable geometric properties as best dominant or best subordinant, interesting corollaries are stated. The study is concluded by connecting the results obtained using the dual theories through sandwich-type theorems and corollaries.

The study presented in this paper follows a line of research familiar for Geometric Function Theory, which consists in defining new integral operators and conducting studies for revealing certain geometric properties of those integral operators such as univalence, starlikness, or convexity. The present research focuses on the Bessel function of the first kind and order ν unveiling the conditions for this function to be univalent and further using its univalent form in order to define a new integral operator on the space of holomorphic functions. For particular values of the parameters implicated in the definition of the new integral operator involving the Bessel function of the first kind, the well-known Alexander, Libera, and Bernardi integral operators can be obtained. In the first part of the study, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the Bessel function of the first kind and order ν to be a starlike function or starlike of order α∈[0,1). The renowned prolific method of differential subordination due to Sanford S. Miller and Petru T. Mocanu is employed in the reasoning. In the second part of the study, the outcome of the first part is applied in order to introduce the new integral operator involving the form of the Bessel function of the first kind, which is starlike. Further investigations disclose the necessary and sufficient conditions for this new integral operator to be starlike or starlike of order 12.

The results presented in this paper highlight the property of the Gaussian hypergeometric function to be a Carathéodory function and refer to certain differential inequalities interpreted in form of inclusion relations for subsets of the complex plane using the means of the theory of differential superordination and the method of subordination chains also known as Löwner chains.

The main objective of this paper is to present classical second-order differential subordination knowledge extended in this study to include new results regarding third-order differential subordinations. The focus of this study is on the main problems examined by differential subordination theory. Hence, the new results obtained here reveal techniques for identifying dominants and the best dominant of certain third-order differential subordinations. Another aspect of novelty is the new application of the Gaussian hypergeometric function. Novel third-order differential subordination results are obtained using the best dominant provided by the theorems and the operator previously defined as Gaussian hypergeometric function’s fractional integral. The research investigation is concluded by giving an example of how the results can be implemented.

In this article, a new linear extended multiplier operator is defined utilizing the q-Choi–Saigo–Srivastava operator and the q-derivative. Two generalized subclasses of q—uniformly convex and starlike functions of order δ—are defined and studied using this new operator. Necessary conditions are derived for functions to belong in each of the two subclasses, and subordination theorems involving the Hadamard product of such particular functions are stated and proven. As applications of those findings using specific values for the parameters of the new subclasses, associated corollaries are provided. Additionally, examples are created to demonstrate the conclusions’ applicability in relation to the functions from the newly introduced subclasses.

Abstract Two new integral operators are defined in this paper using the classical Bernardi and Libera integral operators and the confluent (or Kummer) hypergeometric function. It is proved that the new operators preserve certain classes of univalent functions, such as classes of starlike and convex functions, and that they extend starlikeness of order 1 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ and convexity of order 1 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ to starlikeness and convexity, respectively. For obtaining the original results, the method of admissible functions is used, and the results are also written as differential inequalities and interpreted using inclusion properties for certain subsets of the complex plane. The example provided shows an application of the original results.

In this paper, various features of a new class of normalized multivalent harmonic functions in the open unit disk are analyzed, including bounds on coefficients, growth estimations, starlikeness and convexity radii. It is further demonstrated that this class is closed when its members are convoluted. It can also be seen that various previously introduced and investigated classes of multivalent harmonic functions appear as special cases for this class.

Gegenbauer polynomials constitute a numerical tool that has attracted the interest of many function theorists in recent times mainly due to their real-life applications in many areas of the sciences and engineering. Their applications in geometric function theory (GFT) have also been considered by many researchers. In this paper, this powerful tool is associated with the prolific concepts of convolution and subordination. The main purpose of the research contained in this paper is to introduce and study a new subclass of analytic functions. This subclass is presented using an operator defined as the convolution of the generalized distribution and the error function and applying the principle of subordination. Investigations into this subclass are considered in connection to Carathéodory functions, the modified sigmoid function and Bell numbers to obtain coefficient estimates for the contained functions.

The focus of the research presented in this paper is on a new generalized family of degenerate three-variable Hermite–Appell polynomials defined here using a fractional derivative. The research was motivated by the investigations on the degenerate three-variable Hermite-based Appell polynomials introduced by R. Alyosuf. We show in the paper that, for certain values, the well-known degenerate Hermite–Appell polynomials, three-variable Hermite–Appell polynomials and Appell polynomials are seen as particular cases for this new family. As new results of the investigation, the operational rule for this new generalized family is introduced and the explicit summation formula is established. Furthermore, using the determinant formulation of the Appell polynomials, the determinant form for the new generalized family is obtained and the recurrence relations are also determined considering the generating expression of the polynomials contained in the new generalized family. Certain applications of the generalized three-variable Hermite–Appell polynomials are also presented showing the connection with the equivalent results for the degenerate Hermite–Bernoulli and Hermite–Euler polynomials with three variables.

In recent years, the theory of operators got the attention of many authors due to its applications in different fields of sciences and engineering. In this paper, making use of the Bernardi integral operator, we define a new class of starlike functions associated with the sine functions. For our new function class, extended Bernardi’s theorem is studied, and the upper bounds for the fourth Hankel determinant are determined.

In this work, we derive coefficient bounds for the symmetric Toeplitz matrices T2(2), T2(3), T3(1), and T3(2), which are the known first four determinants for a new family of analytic functions with Borel distribution series in the open unit disk U. Further, some special cases of results obtained are also pointed.

Sanford S. Miller and Petru T. Mocanu’s theory of second-order differential subordinations was extended for the case of third-order differential subordinations by José A. Antonino and Sanford S. Miller in 2011. In this paper, new results are proved regarding third-order differential subordinations that extend the ones involving the classical second-order differential subordination theory. A method for finding a dominant of a third-order differential subordination is provided when the behavior of the function is not known on the boundary of the unit disc. Additionally, a new method for obtaining the best dominant of a third-order differential subordination is presented. This newly proposed method essentially consists of finding the univalent solution for the differential equation that corresponds to the differential subordination considered in the investigation; previous results involving third-order differential subordinations have been obtained mainly by investigating specific classes of admissible functions. The fractional integral of the Gaussian hypergeometric function, previously associated with the theory of fuzzy differential subordination, is used in this paper to obtain an interesting third-order differential subordination by involving a specific convex function. The best dominant is also provided, and the example presented proves the importance of the theoretical results involving the fractional integral of the Gaussian hypergeometric function.

The results contained in this paper are the result of a study regarding fractional calculus combined with the classical theory of differential subordination established for analytic complex valued functions. A new operator is introduced by applying the Libera integral operator and fractional integral of order λ for analytic functions. Many subordination properties are obtained for this newly defined operator by using famous lemmas proved by important scientists concerned with geometric function theory, such as Eenigenburg, Hallenbeck, Miller, Mocanu, Nunokawa, Reade, Ruscheweyh and Suffridge. Results regarding strong starlikeness and convexity of order α are also discussed, and an example shows how the outcome of the research can be applied.

The concepts of fuzzy differential subordination and superordination were introduced in the geometric function theory as generalizations of the classical notions of differential subordination and superordination. Fractional calculus is combined in the present paper with quantum calculus aspects for obtaining new fuzzy differential subordinations and superordinations. For the investigated fuzzy differential subordinations and superordinations, fuzzy best subordinates and fuzzy best dominants were obtained, respectively. Furthermore, interesting corollaries emerge when using particular functions, frequently involved in research studies due to their geometric properties, as fuzzy best subordinates and fuzzy best dominants. The study is finalized by stating the sandwich-type results connecting the previously proven results.

Moreover, corollaries are stated by considering particular functions with known geometric properties as fuzzy best dominant and fuzzy best subordinant in the proved results. The study is completed by stating fuzzy differential sandwich theorems followed by related corollaries combining the results previously established concerning fuzzy differential subordinations and superordinations.

The research presented in this paper deals with analytic p-valent functions related to the generalized probability distribution in the open unit disk U. Using the Hadamard product or convolution, function fs(z) is defined as involving an analytic p-valent function and generalized distribution expressed in terms of analytic p-valent functions. Neighborhood properties for functions fs(z) are established. Further, by applying a previously introduced linear transformation to fs(z) and using an extended Libera integral operator, a new generalized Libera-type operator is defined. Moreover, using the same linear transformation, subclasses of starlike, convex, close-to-convex and spiralike functions are defined and investigated in order to obtain geometrical properties that characterize the new generalized Libera-type operator. Symmetry properties are due to the involvement of the Libera integral operator and convolution transform.

In this manuscript, the novel auxiliary equation methodology (NAEM) is employed to scrutinize various forms of solitary wave solutions for the modified equal-width wave (MEW) equation. M-truncated along with Atangana–Baleanu (AB)-fractional derivatives are employed to study the soliton solutions of the problem. The fractional MEW equations are important for describing hydro-magnetic waves in cold plasma. A comparative analysis is utilized to study the influence of the fractional parameter on the generated solutions. Secured solutions include bright, dark, singular, periodic and many other types of soliton solutions. In compared to other methods, the solutions demonstrate that the proposed technique is particularly effective, straightforward, and trustworthy that contains families of solutions. In addition, the symbolic soft computation is used to verify the obtained solutions. Finally, the system is subjected to a sensitive analysis. Integer-order results calculated by the symmetry method present in the literature can be addressed as limiting cases of the present study.

The object of the present work is to investigate certain new classes of bi-univalent functions introduced in this paper using the concept of subordination. The research involves a generalized multiplier transform defined in this paper which is a generalization of known operators and the modified sigmoid function. The results contained in the proved theorems refer to coefficient estimates for the functions in the newly introduced classes.

Fuzzy differential subordination theory represents a generalization of the classical concept of differential subordination which emerged in the recent years as a result of embedding the concept of fuzzy set into geometric function theory. The fractional integral of Gaussian hypergeometric function is defined in this paper and using properties of the subordination chains, new fuzzy differential subordinations are obtained. Dominants of the fuzzy differential subordinations are given and using particular functions as such dominants, interesting geometric properties interpreted as inclusion relations of certain subsets of the complex plane are presented in the corollaries of the original theorems stated. An example is constructed as an application of the newly proved results.

In the research presented in this paper, confluent hypergeometric function is embedded in the theory of strong differential superordinations. In order to proceed with the study, the form of the confluent hypergeometric function is adapted taking into consideration certain classes of analytic functions depending on an extra parameter previously introduced related to the theory of strong differential subordination and superordination. Operators previously defined using confluent hypergeometric function, namely Kummer–Bernardi and Kummer–Libera integral operators, are also adapted to those classes and strong differential superordinations are obtained for which they are the best subordinants. Similar results are obtained regarding the derivatives of the operators. The examples presented at the end of the study are proof of the applicability of the original results.

The main aim of this article is to study an extension of the Beta and Gamma matrix functions by using a two-parameter Mittag-Leffler matrix function.

In this paper, a new operator Dsf, with s a real number, is defined considering functions that belong to the known class of p-valent analytic functions in the open unit disk U. Applying this operator, a new subclass of p-valently analytic functions is introduced and some interesting subordination- and coefficient-related properties of the functions in this class are discussed. It is also shown that for certain values given to the parameters involved in the definition of the class, p-valently starlike and p-valently convex functions of certain orders can be obtained, respectively. Examples are also given as applications of the newly proven results.

The study done for obtaining the original results of this paper involves the fractional integral of the confluent hypergeometric function and presents its new applications for introducing a certain subclass of analytic functions. Conditions for functions to belong to this class are determined and the class is investigated considering aspects regarding coefficient bounds as well as partial sums of these functions. Distortion properties of the functions belonging to the class are proved and radii estimates are established for starlikeness and convexity properties of the class.

The study on fractional integrals of confluent hypergeometric functions provides interesting subordination and superordination results and inspired the idea of using this operator to introduce a new class of analytic functions. Given the class of functions An=f∈HU:fz=z+an+1zn+1+…,z∈U written simply A when n=1, the newly introduced class involves functions f∈A considered in the study due to their special properties. The aim of this paper is to present the outcomes of the study performed on the new class, which include a coefficient inequality, a distortion theorem and extreme points of the class. The starlikeness and convexity properties of this class are also discussed, and partial sums of functions from the class are evaluated in order to obtain class boundary properties.

The results presented in this paper deal with the classical but still prevalent problem of introducing new classes of m-fold symmetric bi-univalent functions and studying properties related to coefficient estimates. Quantum calculus aspects are also considered in this study in order to enhance its novelty and to obtain more interesting results. We present three new classes of bi-univalent functions, generalizing certain previously studied classes. The relation between the known results and the new ones presented here is highlighted. Estimates on the Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients |am+1| and |a2m+1| are obtained and, furthermore, the much investigated aspect of Fekete–Szegő functional is also considered for each of the new classes.

As an application of the well-known Sălăgean differential operator, a new operator is introduced and, using this, a new class of functions Sn(α) is defined, which has the classes of starlike and convex functions of order α as special cases.

A relevant example is given regarding the applications of a new proven result concerning interesting properties of class Sn(α).
