A. M. Mercer prove a new version of well-known Jensen inequality which is called Jensen-Mercer inequality [16]. By using Jensen-Mercer inequality, Kian andMoslehian establish a new variant of Hermite-Hadamard inequality which is called Hermite-Jensen-Mercer inequality [15]. In this paper, we extend the Hermite-Jensen-Mercer inequality for quantum integrals by utilizing Jensen-Mercer inequality. Then we investigate the connections between our results and those in earlier works. Moreover we give some examples to illustrate the main results in this paper. This is the first paper focusing on Hermite-Jensen-Mercer inequalities for quantum integrals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we firstly establish an identity by using the notions of quantum derivatives and integrals. Using this quantum identity, quantum Newton-type inequalities associated with convex functions are proved. We also show that the newly established inequalities can be recaptured into some existing inequalities by taking q → 1 −. Finally, we give mathematical examples of convex functions to verify the newly established inequalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is devoted to prove the existence of solutions for an infinite system of non- linear integral equations. This system is investigated in the WC-Banach algebra C(I; c0), the space of all continuous functions acting from an interval I into the sequence space c0. Making use of the measure of weak noncompactness and the weak topology, we establish some fixed point theorems for the sum and the product of nonlinear weakly sequentially continuous operat- ors acting onWC-Banach algebra involving w-contractive operators.

This paper aims to introduce various concepts of statistical Riemann-Stieltjes sum via the deferred Nörlund summability mean for the sequence of functions as well as the sequence of distribution functions. We first establish some fundamental limit theorems for statistical Riemann-Stieltjes sum in the sequence space. Then over the probability sequence space, we establish some more advanced results. Finally, over both the spaces we establish some inclusion theorems via our proposed mean in association with statistical Riemann-Stieltjes integral. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a new class of multi-agent systems with addictive and multiplicative measurement noises under Markovian switching topologies is introduced. Some sufficient conditions of average consensus to the systems are also established under consideration. First, based on the continuous-time Markov chain with finite modes, the time-varying topologies of the considering system is figured. Then, the mean square average consensus for the multi-agent systems with a time-varying gain under the time-varying topologies and the Markov chain is studied. Finally, the example and simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper, we proposed a new sequence of summation-integral type operators involving Apostol-Genocchi polynomials. We study some approximation results of the proposed operators using first and second-order modulus of continuity, the global rate of convergence using Voronovskaja-type asymptotic theorem, Lipschitz-type space, and Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness. Lastly, we study the weighted approximation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study a coupled system of nonlinear Liouville–Caputo fractional differential equations equipped with a new set of nonlocal boundary conditions involving an arbitrary strip together with two sets of nonlocal multi-points on either part of the strip on the given domain. We emphasize that the boundary conditions considered in this study are formulated with respect to the sum and difference of the unknown functions. We apply the well-known tools of the fixed point theory to derive the main results. Examples are presented for the illustration of the obtained results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, S be a multiplicatively closed subset of R, and M be an R-module. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of S-copure submodules and investigate some properties of this class of modules. We say that a submodule N of M is S-copure if there exists an s ∈ S such that s(N :M I) ⊆ N + (0 :M I) for every ideal I of R. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, some new estimations of Hermite-Hadamard-Fejér type inequalities for higher order differentiable preinvex functions are established via fractional integral operators. The main motivation point of the study is that our findings, which include generalized preinvex functions for Hermite-Hadamard-Fejér type inequalities by means of fractional integral operators, are the rare results in the literature. The coincidence of the special cases of the our main theorems with the earlier works in the literature is also demonstrated as a verification of our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Our aim in this paper is to deal with the dynamics of following higher order difference equation xn+1 = A+B xn-m x 2 n where A,B > 0, and initial values are positive, and m = {1,2....}. Furthermore, we discuss the periodicity, boundedness, semi-cycles, global asymptotic stability of solutions of these equations. We also handle the rate of convergence of solutions of these difference equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For a ∈ (0,1) and r ∈ (0,1), let Ea(r) be the generalized elliptic integral of the second kind and R(a) be Ramanujan's constant. In this paper, we prove the following inequalities sin(πa) 2(1-a) +r'2 (1-a)sin(πa)log e R(a)/2 r ! -σ ! < Ea(r) < sin(πa) 2(1-a) +r 2 (1-a)sin(πa)log e R(a)/2 r ! -δ ! with the best possible constants σ = 1 4 sin(πa) and δ = sin(πa) 2(1-a) + (1-a)sin(πa) R(a) 2 - π 2.

Consider a simple connected graph G = (V(G),E(G)), where V(G) represents the vertex set and E(G) represents the edge set respectively. A subset W of V(G) is called a resolving set for a graph G if for every two distinct vertices x, y ∈V(G), there exist some vertex w ∈W such that d(x,w) 6= d(y,w), where d(u, v) denotes the distance between vertices u and v. A resolving set of minimal cardinality is called a metric basis for G and its cardinality is called the metric dimension of G, which is denoted by β(G). A subset D of V(G) is called a doubly resolving set of G if for every two distinct vertices x, y of G, there are two vertices u, v ∈ D such that d(u, x) - d(u, y) 6= d(v, x) - d(v, y). A doubly resolving set with minimum cardinality is called minimal doubly resolving set. This minimum cardinality is denoted by ψ(G). In this paper, we determine the minimal doubly resolving sets for antiprism graphs denoted by An with n ≥ 3 and for Mobius ladders denoted by Mn, for every even positive integer n ≥ 8. It has been proved that ψ(An) = 3 for n ≥ 3 and ψ(Mn) = ( 3, if n ≡ 0 or 4 (mod 8) 4, if n ≡ 2 or 6 (mod 8) for every even positive integer n ≥ 8. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study the regular prism tilings and construct ball packings by geodesic balls related to the above tilings in the projective model of Nil geometry. Packings are generated by action of the discrete prism groups pq21. We prove that these groups are realized by prism tilings in Nil space if (p,q) = (3,6),(4,4),(6,3) and determine packing density formulae for geodesic ball packings generated by the above prism groups. Moreover, studying these formulae we determine the conjectured maximal dense packing arrangements and their densities and visualize them in the projective model of Nil geometry. We get a dense (conjectured locally densest) geodesic ball arrangement related to the parameters (p,q) = (6,3) where the kissing number of the packing is 14, similarly to the densest lattice-like Nil geodesic ball arrangement investigated by the second author in [11].

In the present paper, we introduce and study the concepts of statistical convergence and statistical summability for martingale sequences of random variables via deferred Cesaro ` mean. We then establish an inclusion theorem concerning the relation between these two beautiful and potentially useful concepts. Also, based upon our proposed notions, we state and prove new Korovkin-type approximation theorems with algebraic test functions for a martingale sequence over a Banach space. Moreover, we demonstrate that our theorems effectively extend and improve most (if not all) of the previously existing results (in statistical and classical versions). Finally, by using the generalized Bernstein polynomials, we present an illustrative example of a martingale sequence in order to demonstrate that our established theorems are stronger than their traditional and statistical versions.

This paper presents new geometric viewpoints to Chen chaotic system. Firstly, the existence of two nontransverse homoclinic orbits in Chen system is rigorously proved beyond the classical parameters. Secondly, combined with the theory of tangent bundle, a new geometric viewpoint is given to explore chaos mechanism of Chen system. The fundamental geometric definition of tangent bundle and the essential role of nonlinear connection between the tangent space and the base space are described. By introducing the geometrical viewpoints of second order system governed by Lie-Poisson equation, some geometric invariants of Chen system can be obtained. Furthermore, the torsion tensor as one of the geometric invariants is obtained, and it gives the geometrical interpretation to the chaotic behaviour of Chen system. Finally, the torsion tensor of Chen system and Lorenz system are also compared. The obtaining results show that torsion tensor change will lead the Chen system from periodic to chaotic, which is not found in Lorenz system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce a class of nonlinear operators-the class of general historydependent operators. These are the operators defined on spaces of functions endowed with a structure of Banach space (the case of bounded interval of time) or Frechet space (the case of unbounded interval of time). We state and prove various properties of such operators, including fixed point properties. Moreover, we also study several classes of differential equations in Banach spaces, for which we our previous results can be applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Matrix factorizations have been widely used in recent years, especially in engineering problems, to facilitate performance-requiring computations. In this paper, we investigate some interesting relationships between some combinatorial matrices such as Pascal matrix, Stirling matrices and k-order Fibonacci matrices. We give factorizations and inverse factorizations of the Pascal and Stirling matrices via k-order Fibonacci matrices. Moreover, we derive various combinatorial properties by using relationships between these matrices. Finally, compared to previous studies, we present more general results for specific values of k.

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the following linear 2m-th order parabolic equation ∂tu+(-1) m ∑ N k=1 ∂ 2m xk u = f, subject to Dirichlet type condition ∂ l νu = 0, l = 0,1,...,m-1, on the lateral boundary, where m is a positive integer. The right-hand side f of the equation is taken in the Lebesgue space L p, 1 < p < +∞. The problem is set in a domain of the form Q = (t, x1,..., xN) ∈ R N+1 : 0 ≤ q x 2 1 +...+x 2 N < t α with α > 1/2m. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study the complex dynamical behaviors of a discrete-time SIR epidemic model. Analysis of the model demonstrates that the Diseases Free Equilibrium (DFE) point is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is less than one while the Endemic Equilibrium (EE) point is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is greater than one. The results are further substantiated visually with numerical simulations. Furthermore, numerical results demonstrate that the discrete model has more complex dynamical behaviors including multiple periodic orbits, quasi-periodic orbits and chaotic behaviors. The maximum Lyapunov exponent and chaotic attractors also confirm the chaotic dynamical behaviors of the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The intended objective of this paper is to introduce a new class of polynomials, namely the extended Laguerre-Gould-Hopper-Sheffer polynomials. The generating function and operational rule are derived by making use of integral transform. Their quasi-monomial properties and determinant forms are also established. Examples of certain members belonging to the extended Laguerre-Gould-Hopper-Sheffer polynomials are constructed and their corresponding results are established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we discuss the approach for optimal switching control problem with unknown switching points. The case with unknown switching point is more general and generalizes the results existing in the literature. By using suitable transformation, the main problem is reduced into a problem with known interval and further the unknown boundary of the integral in the minimization functional is reduced to the known one. This fact is illustrated by an example. The reduced problem is solved numerically by using the Gradient Projection Method Algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, B. Samet et al. (Fixed Point Theory and Appl. 2013:5, 2013, doi:10.1186/1687-1812-2013-5) has introduced the concept of new contraction mappings and obtained results on the fixed point for nonlinear contractive mappings in a metric space. In the present paper, we introduce the concept of a new contraction via the measure of non-compactness on a Banach space, we obtain a few generalizations of Darbo fixed point theorem and extend some recent results of Aghajani et al. We also show the applicability of obtained results to the theory of integral equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
