In this paper, the generalized fractional integral operators of two generalized Mittag-Leffler type functions are investigated. The special cases of interest involve the generalized Fox--Wright function and the generalized M-series and…
The objective of this manuscript is to introduce and develop the concept of a generalized $\theta$-parametric metric space-a novel extension that enriches the modern metric fixed point theory. We study of its fundamental properties,…
For set-valued functions (SVFs, multifunctions), mapping a compact interval $[a,b]$ into the space of compact non-empty subsets of ${\mathbb R}^d$, we study approximation based on the metric approach that includes metric linear…
The confluent hypergeometric functions (the Kummer functions) defined by ${}_{1}F_{1}(\alpha;\gamma;z):=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(\alpha)_{n}}{n!(\gamma)_{n}}z^{n}\ (\gamma\neq 0,-1,-2,\cdots)$, which are of many properties and great…
We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…
We study the additive functional $X_n(\alpha)$ on conditioned Galton-Watson trees given, for arbitrary complex $\alpha$, by summing the $\alpha$th power of all subtree sizes. Allowing complex $\alpha$ is advantageous, even for the study of…
In this paper we focus on the convergence analysis of the forward-backward splitting method for solving nonsmooth optimization problems in Hilbert spaces when the objective function is the sum of two convex functions. Assuming that one of…
Hypergeometric structures in single and multiscale Feynman integrals emerge in a wide class of topologies. Using integration-by-parts relations, associated master or scalar integrals have to be calculated. For this purpose it appears useful…
We investigate the convexity property on $(0,1)$ of the function $$f_a(x)=\frac{{\cal K}{(\sqrt x)}}{a-(1/2)\log(1-x)}.$$ We show that $f_a$ is strictly convex on $(0,1)$ if and only if $a\geq a_c$ and $1/f_a$ is strictly convex on $(0,1)$…
In a recent paper (Asci \textit{et al.}, 2008) it has been shown that certain random continued fractions have a density which is a product of a beta density and a hypergeometric function $_{2}F_{1}$. In the present paper we fully exploit a…
This paper extends the classic theory of convex optimization to the minimization of functions that are equal to the negated logarithm of what we term as a sum-log-concave function, i.e., a sum of log-concave functions. In particular, we…
The special case of the hypergeometric function $_{2}F_{1}$ represents the binomial series $(1+x)^{\alpha}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(\:\alpha n\:)x^{n}$ that always converges when $|x|<1$. Convergence of the series at the endpoints, $x=\pm 1$,…
We consider a generalisation of a definite integral involving the Bessel function of the first kind. It is shown that this integral can be expressed in terms of the Fox-Wright function ${}_p\Psi_q(z)$ of one variable. Some consequences of…
The forward-backward splitting algorithm is a popular operator-splitting method for solving monotone inclusion of the sum of a maximal monotone operator and a cocoercive operator. In this paper, we present a new convergence analysis of a…
Let $f$ be a continuous real function defined in a subset of the real line. The standard definition of continuity at a point $x$ allow us to correlate any given epsilon with a (possibly depending of $x$) delta value. This pairing is known…
Discrete delta functions define the limits of attainable spatial resolution for all imaging systems. Here we construct broad, multi-dimensional discrete functions that replicate closely the action of a Dirac delta function under aperiodic…
Recently, there emerges different versions of beta function and hypergeometric functions containing extra parameters. Gaining enlightenment from these ideas, we will first introduce a new extension of generalized hypergeometric function and…
We show that the wavefunction of the universe in theories of conformally coupled scalars in power-law Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmologies satisfies a graphical coaction, by means of which we can understand its complete analytic…
In the context of global optimization of mixed-integer nonlinear optimization formulations, we consider smoothing univariate functions $f$ that satisfy $f(0)=0$, $f$ is increasing and concave on $[0,+\infty)$, $f$ is twice differentiable on…
We consider a class $\mathscr{X}$ of continuous functions on $[0,1]$ that is of interest from two different perspectives. First, it is closely related to sets of functions that have been studied as generalizations of the Takagi function.…
