This paper presents the development of a new numerical scheme for the solution of exponential growth and decay models emanated from biological sciences. The scheme has been derived via the combination of two interpolants namely, polynomial and exponential functions. The analysis of the local truncation error of the derived scheme is investigated by means of the Taylor’s series expansion. In order to test the performance of the scheme in terms of accuracy in the context of the exact solution, four biological models were solved numerically. The absolute error has been computed successfully at each mesh point of the integration interval under consideration. The numerical results generated via the scheme agree with the exact solution and with the fifth order convergence based upon the analysis carried out. Hence, the scheme is found to be of order five, accurate and is a good approach to be included in the class of linear explicit numerical methods for the solution of initial value problems in ordinary differential equations.

A new series representation of the modified Bessel function of the second kind \(K_0(x)\) in terms of simple elementary functions (Kummer’s function) is obtained. The accuracy of different orders in this expansion is analysed and has been shown not to be so good as those of different approximations found in the literature. In the sequel, new polynomial approximations for \(K_0(x)\), in the limits \(0<x\leq 2\) and \(2\leq x < \infty\), are obtained. They are shown to be much more accurate than the two best classical approximations given by the Abramowitz and Stegun’s Handbook, for those intervals.

The aim of this paper is to study the fractional Hadamard inequalities for Caputo fractional derivatives of strongly convex functions. We obtain refinements of two known fractional versions of the Hadamard inequality for convex functions. By applying identities for Caputo fractional derivatives we get refinements of error bounds of these inequalities. The given results simultaneously provide refinements as well as generalizations of already known inequalities.

This paper considers the extension of the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations of constant coefficients to those equations with variable coefficients. The total derivatives of the nonlinear functions involved in the problem considered were derived in order to obtain the Adomian polynomials for the problems. Numerical experiments show that Adomian decomposition method can be extended as alternative way for finding numerical solutions to ordinary differential equations of variable coefficients. Furthermore, the method is easy with no assumption and it produces accurate results when compared with other methods in literature.

Let \(G=(V,E)\) be a graph. Then the first and second entire Zagreb indices of \(G\) are defined, respectively, as \(M_{1}^{\varepsilon}(G)=\displaystyle \sum_{x \in V(G) \cup E(G)} (d_{G}(x))^{2}\) and \(M_{2}^{\varepsilon}(G)=\displaystyle \sum_{\{x,y\}\in B(G)} d_{G}(x)d_{G}(y)\), where \(B(G)\) denotes the set of all 2-element subsets \(\{x,y\}\) such that \(\{x,y\} \subseteq V(G) \cup E(G)\) and members of \(\{x,y\}\) are adjacent or incident to each other. In this paper, we obtain the entire Zagreb indices of the line graph and line cut-vertex graph of the subdivision graph of the friendship graph.

In this paper, the mathematical formulation of \(2^{nd}\) law of thermodynamics has been explained, and the mathematical formulation of \(1^{st}\) law has been revisited from this noble perspective. It is not claimed that the \(2^{nd}\) law of thermodynamics is a redundant of the \(1^{st}\) law, rather I shown here how we can extract the mathematical formulation of the \(2^{nd}\) law from the mathematical formulation of the \(1^{st}\) law of thermodynamics. The Clausius statement of the \(2^{nd}\) law of thermodynamics is, it is impossible to construct a device whose sole effect is the transfer of heat from a cool reservoir to a hot reservoir. An alternative statement of the law is, “All spontaneous processes are irreversible” or, “the entropy of an isolated system always increases”. Having strong experimental evidences, this empirical law is obvious, which tells us the arrow of time and the direction of spontaneous changes.

This paper investigates the existence results and uniqueness of solutions for a class of boundary value problems for fractional differential equations with the Hilfer fractional derivative. The reasoning is mainly based upon Mönch’s fixed point theorem associated with the technique of measure of noncompactness. We illustrate our main findings, with a particular case example, included to show the applicability of our outcomes. The boundary conditions introduced in this work are of quite general nature and reduce to many special cases by fixing the parameters involved in the conditions.

Nonlinear initial value problems are somewhat difficult to solve analytically as well as numerically related to linear initial value problems as their variety of natures. Because of this, so many scientists still searching for new methods to solve such nonlinear initial value problems. However there are many methods to solve it. In this article we have discussed about the approximate solution of nonlinear first order ordinary differential equation using ZZ decomposition method. This method is a combination of the natural transform method and Adomian decomposition method.

The concept of weak implicative UP-filters in UP-algebras is introduced and analyzed. Some characterizations of weak implicative UP-filters are derived with the using of some other filter types in such algebras.

This paper introduces the concept of homomorphism in intuitionistic fuzzy multigroups context. It also investigates Some homomorphic properties of intuitionistic fuzzy multigroups. It is shown that the homomorphic image and homomorphic preimage of intuitionistic fuzzy multigroups are also intuitionistic fuzzy multigroups. Finally, it presents some homomorphic properties of normalizer of intuitionistic fuzzy multigroups.
