Some Novel Fractional Integral Inequalities over a New Class of Generalized Convex Function

The comprehension of inequalities in convexity is very important for fractional calculus and its effectiveness in many applied sciences. In this article, we handle a novel investigation that depends on the Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities concerning a monotonic increasing function. The proposed methodology deals with a new class of convexity and related integral and fractional inequalities. There exists a solid connection between fractional operators and convexity because of its fascinating nature in the numerical sciences. Some special cases have also been discussed, and several already-known inequalities have been recaptured to behave well. Some applications related to special means, q-digamma, modified Bessel functions, and matrices are discussed as well. The aftereffects of the plan show that the methodology can be applied directly and is computationally easy to understand and exact. We believe our findings generalise some well-known results in the literature on s-convexity.

Impurity-Induced Magnetization of Graphene

We present a model of impurity-induced magnetization of graphene assuming that the main source of graphene magnetization is related to impurity states with a localized spin. The analysis of solutions of the Schrödinger equation for electrons near the Dirac point has been performed using the model of massless fermions. For a single impurity, the solution of Schrödinger’s equation is a linear combination of Bessel functions. We found resonance energy levels of the non-magnetic impurity. The magnetic moment of impurity with a localized spin was accounted for the calculation of graphene magnetization using the Green’s function formalism. The spatial distribution of induced magnetization for a single impurity is obtained. The energy of resonance states was also calculated as a function of interaction. This energy is depending on the impurity potential and the coupling constant of interaction.

On analytical methods for calculating the steady-state temperature field in a circular cylindrical shell

The present paper presents two analytical methods for calculating the steady-state temperature field in a circular cylindrical shell. The effectiveness of the methods in terms of accuracy in comparison with the classical approach, based on Bessel functions, is analyzed. The proposed analytical algorithms contain relatively simple computational operations. Since they do not use special functions, the algorithms can be used to solve a wide range of problems.

On the justification of topological derivative for wave-based qualitative imaging of finite-sized defects in bounded media

PurposeThis work contributes to the general problem of justifying the validity of the heuristic that underpins medium imaging using topological derivatives (TDs), which involves the sign and the spatial decay away from the true anomaly of the TD functional. The author considers here the identification of finite-sized (i.e. not necessarily small) anomalies embedded in bounded media and affecting the leading-order term of the acoustic field equation.Design/methodology/approachTD-based imaging functionals are reformulated for analysis using a suitable factorization of the acoustic fields, which is facilitated by a volume integral formulation. The three kinds of TDs (single-measurement, full-measurement and eigenfunction-based) studied in this work are given expressions whose structure allows to establish results on their sign and decay properties. The latter are obtained using analytical methods involving classical identities on Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials, as well as asymptotic approximations predicated on spatial scaling assumptions.FindingsThe sign component of the TD imaging heuristic is found to be valid for multistatic experiments and if the sought anomaly satisfies a bound (on a certain operator norm) involving its geometry, its contrast and the operating frequency. Moreover, upon processing the excitation and data by applying suitably-defined bounded linear operatirs to them, the magnitude component of the TD imaging heuristic is proved under scaling assumptions where the anomaly is small relative to the probing region, the latter being itself small relative to the propagation domain. The author additionally validates both components of the TD imaging heuristic when the probing excitation is taken as an eigenfunction of the source-to-measurement operator, with a focusing effect analogous to that achieved in time-reversal based methods taking place. These findings extend those of earlier studies to the case of finite-sized anomalies embedded in bounded media.Originality/valueThe originality of the paper lies in the theoretical justifications of the TD-based imaging heuristic for finite-sized anomalies embedded in bounded media.

Generation of Localised Vertical Streams in Unstable Stratified Atmosphere

A new model of axially symmetric concentrated vortex generation was developed herein. In this work, the solution of a nonlinear equation for internal gravity waves in an unstable stratified atmosphere was obtained and analysed in the framework of ideal hydrodynamics. The related expressions for the velocities in the inner and outer regions of the vortex were described by Bessel functions and modified zeroth-order Bessel functions. The proposed new nonlinear analytical model allows the study of the structure and dynamics of vortices in the radial region. The formation of jets (i.e., structures elongated in the vertical direction with finite components of the poloidal (radial and vertical) velocities that grow exponentially in time in an unstable stratified atmosphere) was also analysed. The characteristic growth time was determined by the inverse growth rate of instability. It is shown that a seed vertical vorticity component may be responsible for the formation of vortices with a finite azimuthal velocity.

An analysis of axisymmetric Sezawa waves in elastic solids

The wave propagation in elastic solids covered by a thin layer has received significant attention due to the existence of Sezawa waves in many applications such as medical imaging. With a Helmholtz decomposition in cylindrical coordinates and subsequent solutions with Bessel functions, it is found that the velocity of such Sezawa waves is the same as the one in Cartesian coordinates, but the displacement will be decaying along the radius with eventual conversion to plane waves. The decaying with radius exhibits a strong contrast to the uniform displacement in the Cartesian formulation, and the asymptotic approximation is accurate in the range about one wavelength away from the origin. The displacement components in the vicinity of origin are naturally given in Bessel functions which can be singular, making it more suitable to analyze waves excited by a point source with solutions from cylindrical coordinates. This is particularly important in extracting vital wave properties and reconstructing the waveform in the vicinity of source of excitation with measurement data from the outer region.

Starlikeness of New General Differential Operators Associated with q-Bessel Functions

Owning to the importance and great interest of differential operators, two generalized differential operators, which may be symmetric or assymetric, are newly introduced in the present paper. Motivated by the familiar Jackson’s second and third Bessel functions, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for which the new generalized operators belong to the class of q-starlike functions of order alpha. Several corollaries and consequences of the main results are also pointed out.

Integrals and series related to propagators of neural and haemodynamic waves

The propagator, or Green function, of a class of neural activity fields and of haemodynamic waves is evaluated exactly. The results enable a number of related integrals to be evaluated, along with series expansions of key results in terms of Bessel functions of the second kind. Connections to other related equations are also noted.
