Due to the beneficial effects of anthocyanins on plants, animals and human beings, they have become the most interesting topic of research for scientists. They are being used in food industry as well as in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Anthocyanins are present in red, blue, orange, purple, violet and intermediate color mostly. They are non-hazardous natural pigments that have positive impact on human health. They occur in nature since the evolution of flowering plants on earth. As humans were wild in ancient times, they consumed their large concentration through their diet and human digestive system is very active for their digestion. In this review, the chemistry and impact of anthocyanins on human health is discussed briefly.

This work deals with a boundary value problem for a nonlinear semipositone multi-point fractional differential equation. By using the Schauder fixed point theorem, we show the existence of one solution for this problem. Our result extend some recent works in the literature.

A two-strain model of the transmission dynamics of herpes simplex virus (HSV) with treatment is formulated as a deterministic system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The model is then analyzed qualitatively, with numerical simulations provided to support the theoretical results. The basic reproduction number \(R_0\) is computed with \(R_0=\text{max}\lbrace R_1, R_2 \rbrace\) where \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) represent respectively the reproduction number for HSV1 and HSV2. We also compute the invasion reproductive numbers \(\tilde{R}_1\) for strain 1 when strain 2 is at endemic equilibrium and \(\tilde{R}_2\) for strain 2 when strain 1 is at endemic equilibrium. To determine the relative importance of model parameters to disease transmission, sensitivity analysis is carried out. The reproduction number is most sensitive respectively to the contact rates \(\beta_1\), \(\beta_2\) and the recruitment rate \(\pi\). Numerical simulations indicate the co-existence of the two strains, with HSV1 dominating but not driving out HSV2 whenever \(R_1 > R_2 > 1\) and vice versa.

In this paper, we obtain the quantitative calculation formula of the degree-based topological indices of four standard product for the path and regular graphs, which unify to solve the question on product of these basic graphs without having to deal with it one by one separately. As applications, we give corresponding calculation formula of the general Randić index, the first general Zagreb index and the general sum-connectivity index.

The temporal dynamics of games have been studied widely in evolutionary spatial game theory using simulation. Each player is usually represented by a vertex of a graph and plays a particular game against every adjacent player independently. These games result in payoffs to the players which affect their relative fitness. The fitness of a player, in turn, affects its ability to reproduce. In this paper, we analyse the temporal dynamics of the evolutionary 2-person, 2-strategy snowdrift game in which players are arranged along a cycle of arbitrary length. In this game, each player has the option of adopting one of two strategies, namely cooperation or defection, during each game round. We compute the probability of retaining persistent cooperation over time from a random initial assignment of strategies to players. We also establish bounds on the probability that a small number of players of a particular mutant strategy introduced randomly into a cycle of players which have established the opposite strategy leads to the situation where all players eventually adopt the mutant strategy. We adopt an analytic approach throughout as opposed to a simulation approach clarifying the underlying dynamics intrinsic to the entire class of evolutionary spatial snowdrift games.

Let \(G\) be a simple graph with vertex set \(V=\{v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n \}\), and let \(d_i\) be the degree of the vertex \(v_i\). The Sombor matrix of \(G\) is the square matrix \(\mathbf A_{SO}\) of order \(n\), whose \((i,j)\)-element is \(\sqrt{d_i^2+d_j^2}\) if \(v_i\) and \(v_j\) are adjacent, and zero otherwise. We study the characteristic polynomial, spectrum, and energy of \(\mathbf A_{SO}\). A few results for the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial, and bounds for the energy of \(\mathbf A_{SO}\) are established.

This note presents the characterization of the families of star, helm, flower and complete graphs by total vertex stress. The note does not present results for many families of graphs but, it highlights important philosophical (math. phil.) aspects for further research. In particular the novelty concepts of forgiven contradictions denoted by, iff\(_f\) as well as iffness and \(f\)-statements are introduced. The author suggests that the characterization of other families of graphs by total vertex stress is possible.

In this paper, improved and generalized version of Ostrowski’s type inequalities is established. The parameters used in the peano kernels help us to obtain previous results. The obtained bounds are then applied to numerical integration.

We show new integral representations for dilogarithm and trilogarithm functions on the unit interval. As a consequence, we also prove (1) new integral representations for Apéry, Catalan constants and Legendre \(\chi\) functions of order 2, 3, (2) a lower bound for the dilogarithm function on the unit interval, (3) new Euler sums.

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.
