The main goal of this article is to study the oscillation criteria of the second-order neutral differential equations on time scales. We give several theorems and related examples to illustrate the applicability of these theorems. Our results extend some recent work in the literature.

Locally harmonious coloring is a relax version of standard harmonious coloring which only needs that the color pairs for adjacent edges are different. In this remark, we introduce the concept of fractional locally harmonious coloring, and present some basic facts for this coloring.

In the present article, a time fractional diffusion problem is formulated with special boundary conditions, specifically the nonlocal boundary conditions. This new problem is then solved by utilizing the Laplace transform method coupled to the well-known Adomian decomposition method after employing the modified version of Beilin’s lemma featuring fractional derivative in time. The Caputo fractional derivative is used. Some test problems are included.

In this paper, we introduce and study the classes \(S_{n,\mu}(\gamma,\alpha,\beta,\) \(\lambda,\nu,\varrho,\mho)\) and \(R_{n,\mu}(\gamma,\alpha,\beta,\lambda,\nu,\varrho,\mho)\) of functions \(f\in A(n)\) with \((\mu)z(D^{\mho+2}_{\lambda,\nu,\varrho}(\alpha,\omega)f(z))^{‘} \) \(+(1-\mu)z(D^{\mho+1}_{\lambda,\nu,\varrho}(\alpha,\omega)f(z))^{‘}\neq0\), where \(\nu>0,\varrho,\omega,\lambda,\alpha,\mu \geq0, \mho\in N_{0}, z\in U\) and \(D^{\mho}_{\lambda,\nu,\varrho}(\alpha,\omega)f(z):A(n)\longrightarrow A(n),\) is the linear differential operator, newly defined as
\( D^{\mho}_{\lambda,\nu,\varrho}(\alpha,\omega)f(z)=z-\sum_{k=n}^{\infty}\left( \dfrac{\nu+k(\varrho+\lambda)\omega^{\alpha}}{\nu} \right)^{\mho} a_{k+1}z^{k+1}. \)
Several properties such as coefficient estimates, growth and distortion theorems, extreme points, integral means inequalities and inclusion relation for the functions included in the classes \(S_{n,\mu} (\gamma,\alpha,\beta,\lambda,\nu,\varrho,\mho,\omega)\) and \(R_{n,\mu}(\gamma,\alpha,\beta,\lambda,\nu,\varrho,\mho,\omega)\) are given.
