Abstract:

In this paper, we develop a new application of the Laplace transform method (LTM) using the series expansion of the dependent variable for solving fractional logistic growth models in a population as well as fractional prey-predator models. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. To illustrate the reliability of the method some examples are provided. The results reveal that the technique introduced here is very effective and convenient for solving fractional-order nonlinear differential equations.

Abstract:

The generation of coefficients of terms of positive and negative powers of \(n\) and \(-n\) of Kifilideen trinomial theorem as the terms are progress is stressful and time-consuming which the same problem is identified with coefficients of terms of binomial theorem of positive and negative powers of \(n\) and \(-n\). This slows the process of producing the series of any particular trinomial expansion. This study established Kifilideen coefficient tables for positive and negative powers of \(n\) and \(-n\) of the Kifilideen trinomial theorem and other developments based on matrix and standardized methods. A Kifilideen theorem of matrix transformation of the positive power of \(n\) of trinomial expression in which three variables \(x,y\), and \(z\) are found in parts of the trinomial expression was originated. The development would ease evaluating the trinomial expression’s positive power of \(n\). The Kifilideen coefficient tables are handy and effective in generating the coefficients of terms and series of the Kifilideen expansion of trinomial expression of positive and negative powers of \(n\) and \(-n.\)

Abstract:

The Taylor expansion is a widely used and powerful tool in all branches of Mathematics, both pure and applied. In Probability and Mathematical Statistics, however, a stronger version of Taylor’s classical theorem is often needed, but only tacitly assumed. In this note, we provide an elementary proof of this measurable Taylor’s theorem, which guarantees that the interpolating point in the Lagrange form of the remainder can be chosen to depend measurably on the independent variable.

Abstract:

In this paper, we establish sharp inequalities for trigonometric functions. We prove in particular for \(0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2}\) and any \(n \geq 5\) \[0 < P_n(x)\ <\ (\sin x)^2- x^3\cot x < P_{n-1}(x) + \left[\left(\frac{2}{\pi}\right)^{2n} – \sum_{k=3}^{n-1} a_k \left(\frac{2}{\pi}\right)^{2n-2k}\right] x^{2n} \] where \(P_n(x) = \sum_{3=k}^n a_k x^{2k+1}\) is a \(n\)-polynomial, with positive coefficients (\(k \geq 5\)), \(a_{{k}}=\frac{{2}^{2\,k-2}}{\ \left( 2\,k-2 \right) ! } \left( \left| {B}_{ 2\,k-2} \right| +{\frac { \left( -1\right) ^{k+1}}{ \left( 2\,k-1 \right) k}} \right),\)
\( B_{2k} \) are Bernoulli numbers. This improves a lot of lower bounds of \( \frac{\sin(x)}{x}\) and generalizes inequalities chains.
Moreover, bounds are obtained for other trigonometric inequalities as Huygens and Cusa inequalities as well as for the function
\[g_n(x) = \left(\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right)^2 \left( 1 – \frac{2\left(\frac{2 x}{\pi}\right)^{2n+2}}{1-(\frac{2x}{\pi})^2}\right) +\frac{\tan(x)}{x}, \ n\geq 1 \].

Abstract:

In this manuscript, our primary focus revolves around extending the inequalities associated with the Quadratic \(\varphi(\delta_{1},\delta_{2})-\)function. Our approach involves leveraging the general quadratic functional equation encompassing \(2k\)-variables within the context of the fuzzy Banach space. Our main contribution lies in the expansion of these inequalities, representing a significant result within this study.

Abstract:

We clarify some arguments concerning Jefimenko’s equations, as a way of constructing solutions to Maxwell’s equations, for charge and current satisfying the continuity equation. We then isolate a condition on non-radiation in all inertial frames, which is intuitively reasonable for the stability of an atomic system, and prove that the condition is equivalent to the charge and current satisfying certain relations, including the wave equations. Finally, we prove that with these relations, the energy in the electromagnetic field is quantised and displays the properties of the Balmer series.

Abstract:

It is on record that rolling out COVID-19 vaccines has been one of the fastest for any vaccine production worldwide. Despite this prompt action taken to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19, the disease persists. One of the reasons for the persistence of the disease is that the vaccines do not confer immunity against the infections. Moreover, the virus-causing COVID-19 mutates, rendering the vaccines less effective on the new strains of the disease. This research addresses the multi-strains transmission dynamics and herd immunity threshold of the disease. Local stability analysis of the disease-free steady state reveals that the pandemic can be contained when the basic reproduction number, \(R_{0}\) is brought below unity. The results of numerical simulations also agree with the theoretical results. The herd immunity thresholds for some of the vaccines against COVID-19 were computed to guide the management of the disease. This model can be applied to any strain of the disease.
