In this paper, we define the concept of η- subdifferential in a more general setting than the one used by Yang and Craven in 1991. By using η-subdifferentiability, we suggest a perturbed algorithm for finding the approximate solutions of strongly nonlinear variational-like inclusions and prove that these approximate solutions converge to the exact solution. Several special cases are also discussed.

<abstract><p>In this article, the concept of a Hausdorff fuzzy $ b $-metric space is introduced. The new notion is used to establish some fixed point results for multivalued mappings in $ G $-complete fuzzy $ b $-metric spaces satisfying a suitable requirement of contractiveness. An illustrative example is formulated to support the results. Eventually, an application for the existence of a solution for an integral inclusion is established which involves showing the materiality of the obtained results. These results are more general and some theorems proved by of Shehzad et al. are their special cases.</p></abstract>

Evaluation of images of special functions under operators of fractional calculus has become a hot topic with hundreds of recently published papers. These are growing daily and we are able to comment here only on a few of them, including also some of the latest of 2019–2020, just for the purpose of illustrating our unified approach. Many authors are producing a flood of results for various operators of fractional order integration and differentiation and their generalizations of different special (and elementary) functions. This effect is natural because there are great varieties of special functions, respectively, of operators of (classical and generalized) fractional calculus, and thus, their combinations amount to a large number. As examples, we mentioned only two such operators from thousands of results found by a Google search. Most of the mentioned works use the same formal and standard procedures. Furthermore, in such results, often the originals and the images are special functions of different kinds, or the images are not recognized as known special functions, and thus are not easy to use. In this survey we present a unified approach to fulfill the mentioned task at once in a general setting and in a well visible form: for the operators of generalized fractional calculus (including also the classical operators of fractional calculus); and for all generalized hypergeometric functions such as pΨq and pFq, Fox H- and Meijer G-functions, thus incorporating wide classes of special functions. In this way, a great part of the results in the mentioned publications are well predicted and appear as very special cases of ours. The proposed general scheme is based on a few basic classical results (from the Bateman Project and works by Askey, Lavoie–Osler–Tremblay, etc.) combined with ideas and developments from more than 30 years of author’s research, and reflected in the cited recent works. The main idea is as follows: From one side, the operators considered by other authors are cases of generalized fractional calculus and so, are shown to be (m-times) compositions of weighted Riemann–Lioville, i.e., Erdélyi–Kober operators. On the other side, from each generalized hypergeometric function pΨq or pFq (p≤q or p=q+1) we can reach, from the final number of applications of such operators, one of the simplest cases where the classical results are known, for example: to 0Fq−p (hyper-Bessel functions, in particular trigonometric functions of order (q−p)), 0F0 (exponential function), or 1F0 (beta-distribution of form (1−z)αzβ). The final result, written explicitly, is that any GFC operator (of multiplicity m≥1) transforms a generalized hypergeometric function into the same kind of special function with indices p and q increased by m.

Semi Markov Processes

In this paper, optimal stopping problems for semi-Markov processes are studied in a fairly general setting. In such a process transitions are made from state to state in accordance with a Markov chain, but the amount of time spent in each state is random. The times spent in each state follow a general renewal process. They may depend on the present state as well as on the state into which the next transition is made.Our goal is to maximize the expected net return, which is given as a function of the state at time t minus some cost function. Discounting may or may not be considered. The main theorems (Theorems 3.5 and 3.11) are expressions for the optimal stopping time in the undiscounted and discounted case. These theorems generalize results of Zuckerman [16] and Boshuizen and Gouweleeuw [3]. Applications are given in various special cases.The results developed in this paper can also be applied to semi-Markov shock models, as considered in Taylor [13], Feldman [6] and Zuckerman [15].

In two papers [3] and [4], the author has extended the inequality of Schur (Theorem 319 of [2]) to cases involving kernels which satisfy identities of the formThe purpose of this paper is to prove a general inequality, which includes the above and also the inequality of Young (Theorem 281 of [2]) as special cases. We shall give the results a general setting by considering functions defined on abstract measure spaces. From this we shall deduce an extension to n dimensions of the results given in [3], which also generalises a similar extension of the Schur inequality given by Stein and Weiss. In fact some cases of the other results given in [5] will follow directly from our theorem.

We obtain large-deviation approximations for the empirical distribution for a general family of occupancy problems. In the general setting, balls are allowed to fall in a given urn depending on the urn's contents prior to the throw. We discuss a parametric family of statistical models that includes Maxwell–Boltzmann, Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac statistics as special cases. A process-level large-deviation analysis is conducted and the rate function for the original problem is then characterized, via the contraction principle, by the solution to a calculus of variations problem. The solution to this variational problem is shown to coincide with that of a simple finite-dimensional minimization problem. As a consequence, the large-deviation approximations and related qualitative information are available in more-or-less explicit form.

In this paper, we count two-block configurations in a general setting. In particular, no restriction is put on the pair repetition factor (that is, the parameter Λ) of the block designs being considered. Besides giving formulae for the counts of the two-block BTD (V, B, R, 3, Λ) configuration classes, a basis for the formulae is given and shown to have size four. Details of the special cases where Λ equals two and three are also presented, along with 2-block BIBD (v, b, r, 3, λ) configuration results.

Abstract Regular variation is a continuous-parameter theory; we work in a general setting, containing the existing Karamata, Bojanic–Karamata/de Haan and Beurling theories as special cases. We give sequential versions of the main theorems, that is, with sequential rather than continuous limits. This extends the main result, a theorem of Kendall’s (which builds on earlier work of Kingman and Croft), to the general setting.

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a general transformation or change of Finsler metrics, which is referred to as a generalized β-conformal change: [Formula: see text] This transformation combines both β-change and conformal change in a general setting. The change, under this transformation, of the fundamental Finsler connections, together with their associated geometric objects, are obtained. Some invariants and various special Finsler spaces are investigated under this change. The most important changes of Finsler metrics existing in the literature are deduced from the generalized β-conformal change as special cases.
