A Family of the r-Associated Stirling Numbers of the Second Kind and Generalized Bernoulli Polynomials

In this article, we derive representation formulas for a class of r-associated Stirling numbers of the second kind and examine their connections with a class of generalized Bernoulli polynomials. Herein, we use the Blissard umbral approach and the familiar Bell polynomials. Links with available literature on this subject are also pointed out. The extension to the bivariate case is discussed.

Three representations of the fractional p-Laplacian: Semigroup, extension and Balakrishnan formulas

We introduce three representation formulas for the fractional p-Laplace operator in the whole range of parameters 0 < s < 1 and 1 < p < ∞. Note that for p ≠ 2 this a nonlinear operator. The first representation is based on a splitting procedure that combines a renormalized nonlinearity with the linear heat semigroup. The second adapts the nonlinearity to the Caffarelli-Silvestre linear extension technique. The third one is the corresponding nonlinear version of the Balakrishnan formula. We also discuss the correct choice of the constant of the fractional p-Laplace operator in order to have continuous dependence as p → 2 and s → 0+, 1−. A number of consequences and proposals are derived. Thus, we propose a natural spectral-type operator in domains, different from the standard restriction of the fractional p-Laplace operator acting on the whole space. We also propose numerical schemes, a new definition of the fractional p-Laplacian on manifolds, as well as alternative characterizations of the W s, p (ℝ n ) seminorms.

Pseudo-Lucas Functions of Fractional Degree and Applications

In a recent article, the first and second kinds of multivariate Chebyshev polynomials of fractional degree, and the relevant integral repesentations, have been studied. In this article, we introduce the first and second kinds of pseudo-Lucas functions of fractional degree, and we show possible applications of these new functions. For the first kind, we compute the fractional Newton sum rules of any orthogonal polynomial set starting from the entries of the Jacobi matrix. For the second kind, the representation formulas for the fractional powers of a r×r matrix, already introduced by using the pseudo-Chebyshev functions, are extended to the Lucas case.

Multi-Integral Representations for Associated Legendre and Ferrers Functions

For the associated Legendre and Ferrers functions of the first and second kind, we obtain new multi-derivative and multi-integral representation formulas. The multi-integral representation formulas that we derive for these functions generalize some classical multi-integration formulas. As a result of the determination of these formulae, we compute some interesting special values and integral representations for certain particular combinations of the degree and order, including the case where there is symmetry and antisymmetry for the degree and order parameters. As a consequence of our analysis, we obtain some new results for the associated Legendre function of the second kind, including parameter values for which this function is identically zero.

On representation formulas for solutions of linear differential equations with Caputo fractional derivatives

In the paper, a linear differential equation with variable coefficients and a Caputo fractional derivative is considered. For this equation, a Cauchy problem is studied, when an initial condition is given at an intermediate point that does not necessarily coincide with the initial point of the fractional differential operator. A detailed analysis of basic properties of the fundamental solution matrix is carried out. In particular, the Hölder continuity of this matrix with respect to both variables is proved, and its dual definition is given. Based on this, two representation formulas for the solution of the Cauchy problem are proposed and justified.

Explicit formulas and determinantal representation for η-skew-Hermitian solution to a system of quaternion matrix equations

Some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the ?-skew-Hermitian solution quaternion matrix equations the system of matrix equations with ?-skew-Hermicity, A1X = C1, XB1 = C2, A2Y = C3, YB2 = C4, X = -X?*; Y=-Y?*, A3XA?*3 + B3YB?*3=C5, are established in this paper by using rank equalities of the coefficient matrices. The general solutions to the system and its special cases are provided when they are consistent. Within the framework of the theory of noncommutative row-column determinants, we also give determinantal representation formulas of finding their exact solutions that are analogs of Cramer?s rule. A numerical example is also given to demonstrate the main results.
