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]

In this paper, we give some characterizations on S-curvature in Randers measure spaces, which shows that only the Busemann-Hausdorff volume form can admit a vanishing S-curvature. [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, new weighted Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for differentiable preinvex and prequasiinvex functions are proved. These results generalize many results proved in earlier works for these classes of functions. [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]

This paper is concerned with the existence of positive solutions of second-order impulsive differential equations with integral boundary conditions on an infinite interval. As an application, an example is given to demonstrate our main results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we investigate the boundedness of the Gerber-Shiu expected discounted penalty function applied in insurance mathematics. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for its boundedness. This condition is essentially the boundedness of the conditional expectation given the ruin occurs at the first claim. It assures that the integral equation satisfied by the Gerber- Shiu function has a unique bounded solution and it is exactly the Gerber-Shiu function. By the help of the proven necessary and sufficient condition we can also simplify the theorem concerning the necessary and sufficient condition for the limit property. We do not assume independence between the inter-claim time and the claim size but the results can be applied to the usually investigated independent case as well. We present examples to show the applicability of the condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
