This work handle a mathematical model describing the process of contact between a piezoelectric body and rigid foundation. The behavior of the material is modeled with a electro-elastic constitutive law. The contact is formulated by Signorini conditions and Coulomb friction. A new decoupled mixed variational formulation is stated. Existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved using elements of the saddle point theory and a fixed point technique. To show the efficiency of our approach, we present a decomposition iterative method and its convergence is proved and some numerical tests are presented.

In this paper, we consider a neutral mixed type difference equation, and obtain explicitly sufficient conditions for asymptotic behavior of solutions. A necessary condition is provided as well. An example is given to illustrate our main results.

The equation \(v=v_0+\int_0^t(t-s)^{\lambda -1}v(s)ds\) is considered, \(\lambda\neq 0,-1,-2…\) and \(v_0\) is a smooth function rapidly decaying with all its derivatives. It is proved that the solution to this equation does exist, is unique and is smoother than the singular function \(t^{-\frac 5 4}\).

The aim of this paper is to construct left sided and right sided integral operators in a unified form. These integral operators produce various well known integral operators in the theory of fractional calculus. Formulated integral operators of this study include generalized fractional integral operators of Riemann-Liouville type and operators containing Mittag-Leffler functions in their kernels. Also boundedness of all these fractional integral operators is derived from the boundedness of unified integral operators. The existence of new integral operators may have useful consequences in applied sciences besides in fractional calculus.

In this paper, we explore the existence of nontrivial solution for the fifth-order three-point boundary value problem of the form \(u^{(5)}(t)+f(t,u(t))=0,\quad\text 0<t<1,\) with boundary conditions \(u(0)=0,\quad u^{‘}(0)=u^{”}(0)=u^{”’}(0)=0,\quad u(1)=\alpha u(\eta),\) where \(0<\eta<1\), \(\alpha\in\mathbb{R}\), \(\alpha\eta^{4}\neq1\), \(f\in C([0,1]\times\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})\). Under certain growth conditions on the non-linearity \(f\) and using Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative, we prove the existence of at least one solution of the posed problem. Furthermore, the obtained results are further illustrated by mean of some examples.

Polynomiography is the art and science of visualization in approximation of zeros of polynomials. In this report, we visualize polynomiography of some complex polynomials via iterative methods presented in [1].

In this paper, we use the Banach fixed point theorem to obtain the existence, interval of existence and uniqueness of solutions for nonlinear hybrid implicit Caputo-Hadamard fractional differential equations. We also use the generalization of Gronwall’s inequality to show the estimate of the solutions.

Harmonic convexity is very important new class of non-convex functions, it gained prominence in the Theory of Inequalities and Applications as well as in the rest of Mathematics’s branches. The harmonic convexity of a function is the basis for many inequalities in mathematics. Furthermore, harmonic convexity provides an analytic tool to estimate several known definite integrals like \(\int_{a}^{b} \frac{e^{x}}{x^{n}}dx\), \(\int_{a}^{b} e^{x^{2}} dx\), \(\int_{a}^{b} \frac{\sin x}{x^{n}}dx\) and \(\int_{a}^{b} \frac{\cos x}{x^{n}}dx\) \(\forall n \in \mathbb{N}\), where \(a,b \in (0,\infty)\). In this article, some un-weighted inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type for harmonic log-convex functions defined on real intervals are given.

Mathematical modeling of infectious diseases has progressed dramatically over the past four decades and continues to flourish at the nexus of mathematics, epidemiology, and infectious diseases research. Now recognized as a valuable tool, mathematical models are being integrated into the public health decision-making process more than ever before. In this article, a mathematical model of Ebola virus which is named as SEIVR (susceptible, exposed, infected, vaccinated, recovered) model is considered. First, we formulate the model and present the basic properties of the proposed model. Then, basic reproductive number is obtained by using the next-generation matrix approach. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis of \(R_0\) is also discussed, all the endemic equilibrium points related to the disease are derived, a condition to investigate all possible equilibria of the model in terms of the basic reproduction number is obtained. In last, numerical simulation is presented with and without vaccination or control for the proposed model.

In literature, there are many methods for solving nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, we develop a new method by combining Adomian decomposition method and Shehu transform method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations. This method can be named as Shehu transform decomposition method (STDM). Some examples are solved to show that the STDM is easy to apply.
