In this paper, we establish a new auxiliary identity of the Bullen type for twice-differentiable functions in terms of fractional integral operators. Based on this new identity, some generalized Bullen-type inequalities are obtained by employing convexity properties. Concrete examples are given to illustrate the results, and the correctness is confirmed by graphical analysis. An analysis is provided on the estimations of bounds. According to calculations, improved Hölder and power mean inequalities give better upper-bound results than classical inequalities. Lastly, some applications to quadrature rules, modified Bessel functions and digamma functions are provided as well.

In this paper, a class of systems of linear and non-linear delay differential equations (DDEs) of first order with time-varying delay is considered. We obtain new sufficient conditions for uniform asymptotic stability of zero solution, integrability of solutions of an unperturbed system and boundedness of solutions of a perturbed system. We construct two appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskiĭ functionals (LKFs) as the main tools in proofs. The technique of the proofs depends upon the Lyapunov–Krasovskiĭ method. For illustration, two examples are provided in particular cases. An advantage of the new LKFs used here is that they allow to eliminate using Gronwall’s inequality. When we compare our results with recent results in the literature, the established conditions are more general, less restrictive and optimal for applications.

This paper deals with non-perturbed and perturbed systems of nonlinear differential systems of first order with multiple time-varying delays. Here, for the considered systems, easily verifiable and applicable uniformly asymptotic stability, integrability, and boundedness criteria are obtained via defining an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskiĭ functional (LKF) and using the Lyapunov–Krasovskiĭ method (LKM). Comparisons with a former result that can be found in the literature illustrate the novelty of the stability theorem and show new contributions to the qualitative theory of solutions. A discussion of two illustrative examples and the obtained results are presented.

Many researchers have been attracted to the study of convex analysis theory due to both facts, theoretical significance, and the applications in optimization, economics, and other fields, which has led to numerous improvements and extensions of the subject over the years. An essential part of the theory of mathematical inequalities is the convex function and its extensions. In the recent past, the study of Jensen–Mercer inequality and Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer type inequalities has remained a topic of interest in mathematical inequalities. In this paper, we study several inequalities for GA-h-convex functions and its subclasses, including GA-convex functions, GA-s-convex functions, GA-Q-convex functions, and GA-P-convex functions. We prove the Jensen–Mercer inequality for GA-h-convex functions and give weighted Hermite–Hadamard inequalities by applying the newly established Jensen–Mercer inequality. We also establish inequalities of Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer type. Thus, we give new insights and variants of Jensen–Mercer and related inequalities for GA-h-convex functions. Furthermore, we apply our main results along with Hadamard fractional integrals to prove weighted Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer inequalities for GA-h-convex functions and its subclasses. As special cases of the proven results, we capture several well-known results from the relevant literature.

Second-order oscillatory problems have been found to be applicable in studying various phenomena in science and engineering; this is because these problems have the capabilities of replicating different aspects of the real world. In this research, a new hybrid method shall be formulated for the simulations of second-order oscillatory problems with applications to physical systems. The proposed method shall be formulated using the procedure of interpolation and collocation by adopting power series as basis function. In formulating the method, off-step points were introduced within the interval of integration in order to bypass the Dahlquist barrier, improve the accuracy of the method and also upgrade the order of consistence of the method. The paper further validated the some properties of the hybrid method derived and from the results obtained; the new method was found to be consistent, convergent and stable. The simulation results generated as a result of the application of the new method on some second-order oscillatory differential equations also showed that the new hybrid method is computationally reliable.
