In this paper, we generate new degenerate quantum Euler polynomials (DQE polynomials), which are related to both degenerate Euler polynomials and q-Euler polynomials. We obtain several (q,h)-differential equations for DQE polynomials and find some relations of q-differential and h-differential equations. By varying the values of q,η, and h, we observe the values of DQE numbers and approximate roots of DQE polynomials to obtain some properties and conjectures. Full article

Utilizing p,q-numbers and p,q-concepts, in 2016, Duran et al. considered p,q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials, p,q-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials and p,q-Euler polynomials and numbers and provided multifarious formulas and properties for these polynomials. Inspired and motivated by this consideration, many authors have introduced (p,q)-special polynomials and numbers and have described some of their properties and applications. In this paper, using the (p,q)-cosine polynomials and (p,q)-sine polynomials, we consider a novel kinds of (p,q)-extensions of geometric polynomials and acquire several properties and identities by making use of some series manipulation methods. Furthermore, we compute the p,q-integral representations and p,q-derivative operator rules for the new polynomials. Additionally, we determine the movements of the approximate zerosof the two mentioned polynomials in a complex plane, utilizing the Newton method, and we illustrate them using figures. Full article

During the broadcast of Coronavirus across the globe, many mathematicians made several mathematical models. This was, of course, in order to understand the forecast and behavior of this epidemic’s spread precisely. Nevertheless, due to the lack of much information about it, the application of many models has become difficult in reality and sometimes impossible, unlike the simple SIR model. In this work, a simple, novel fractional-order discrete model is proposed in order to study the behavior of the COVID-19 epidemic. Such a model has shown its ability to adapt to the periodic change in the number of infections. The existence and uniqueness of the solution for the proposed model are examined with the help of the Picard Lindelöf method. Some theoretical results are established in view of the connection between the stability of the fixed points of this model and the basic reproduction number. Several numerical simulations are performed to verify the gained results. Full article

In this paper, we introduce an extension of the Hilfer fractional derivative, the “Hilfer fractional quantum derivative”, and establish some of its properties. Then, we introduce and discuss initial and boundary value problems involving the Hilfer fractional quantum derivative. The existence of a unique solution of the considered problems is established via Banach’s contraction mapping principle. Examples illustrating the obtained results are also presented. Full article

In this paper, we first discuss some important properties of fractional q-calculus. Then, based on these properties and the q-Laplace transform, we translate a class of fractional q-differential equations into the equivalent q-differential equations with integer order. Thus, we propose a method for solving some linear fractional q-differential equations by means of solving the corresponding integer order equations. Several examples are provided to illustrate our solution method. Full article
