Coefficient Bounds and Parameter Geometry for Gamma-Deformed Mathieu–Ma–Minda Bi-Univalent Functions
The factorial Mathieu multiplier used in the nearest bi-univalent model is substituted with a gamma-shifted family using deformation parameter . In this case, one differential operator describes all class operators introduced previously, whereas the function and inverse subordination can be controlled by two different generalized Ma–Minda functions. Explicit bounds for , and the Fekete–Szegő functional follow from identities involving exact second-order coefficients. These are sharpened by using the full Schwarz–Pick estimate . The estimates continue to hold even when . The positive-real-part, strongly starlike, Janowski, mixed Mathieu, and phase-dependent Noshiro families are included with explicit admissibility criteria, except for the Noshiro family, which has its phase limited to , since vanishes at the excluded endpoint. The numerical analysis compares the gamma deformation with the factorial case, partitions parameter space according to the active coefficient estimate, locates , and shows how unequal targets displace the center of the Fekete–Szegő bound. The auxiliary Schwarz inequalities are sharp, but simultaneous equality within the full bi-univalent class is not established.- 30 August 2026

AI-Assisted Multilabel Diagnosis of 12-Lead Electrocardiograms Using an Interpretable Stacked Deep Learning Model with External Validation
Background: Automated interpretation of 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) remains challenging because multiple abnormalities may coexist and appear in selected leads or brief waveform segments. We developed a compact and interpretable framework for five-superclass multi-label ECG diagnosis. Methods: We evaluated PTB-XL records using the official fold protocol, with folds 1–8 for training, fold 9 for validation monitoring and class-specific threshold selection, and fold 10 for independent internal testing. We then evaluated the frozen 1.33-million-parameter InceptionTime–CNN–BiGRU–Transformer model and validation-derived thresholds on 15,931 Ningbo ECGs without retraining, recalibration, or external threshold adjustment. We also examined calibration, demographic subgroups, computational efficiency, and complementary ECG-domain attribution methods. Results: Macro-AUROC reached 90.83% on PTB-XL fold 10 and 88.85% on Ningbo, indicating generally consistent diagnostic ranking with a modest reduction during external evaluation. Sensitivity analysis showed that CNN-only outperformed the frozen primary model on five of six endpoints. Attribution analyses highlighted qualitatively plausible lead and temporal patterns in representative examples, while calibration and subgroup analyses further characterized model behavior under dataset shift. Conclusions: Our framework integrates leakage-aware development, threshold-controlled testing, frozen external validation, and multimethod interpretability. These findings support its further prospective, locally calibrated evaluation as a potential aid for multi-label ECG interpretation.

Multiphysics analysis of PINNs-based interrogation of beating cilia in nanofluid with topological inclined wavy channels: Use of PDFP optimizer
Significance: This paper explores the innovative aspect of solving beating cilia related flow with physics informed neural networks (PINNs). PINNs is best way to resolve beating cilia motion without relying on dense meshes or iterative solvers. Purpose: This study explores the beating cilia in confined fluid domains in topological inclined wavy channels. Carreau-Yasuda nanofluid model has been utilized to study such configuration. These features make cilia driven flows valuable for microfluidic cooling systems, particle manipulation and biological transport studies where precise control of near wall dynamics is critical. This study shows how ciliary actuation supports efficient fluid motion without relying on mechanical pumping units. For the velocity control, the inclined magnetic angle has been considered. Methodology: PINNs methodology with a PDFP optimizer has been used to capture physical meaning of beating cilia inside inclined wavy channels. This scheme shows the global view of the solution across space and time. It reduces oscillations in the loss and keeps the network focused on the true physics residuals. Findings: Numerical variation in power-law index parameter reshapes the local shear stiffness of the Carreau-Yasuda nanofluid fluid. When Weissenberg number is increasing, stretching the pressure lobes along the channel and disrupts the phase coherence between the wall motion and the fluid response.

A Visual and Quantitative Study of Fractal Mandelbrot Sets Using the IA-Iterative Algorithm for Complex Functions
This paper presents a visual and quantitative study of Mandelbrot sets generated by the IA-iterative algorithm for the transcendental complex map , where , , and . A rigorous escape criterion is derived for the proposed map under the IA iteration scheme, providing the mathematical foundation for the generation and analysis of the associated fractal sets. Using this criterion, a broad family of Mandelbrot sets is constructed to examine the influence of the polynomial degree p and the transcendental parameter q on geometric complexity, symmetry, and branching behavior. To complement the visual analysis, a quantitative computational investigation is performed using the fractal dimension, non-escaping area index, average escape time, and average number of iterations. The numerical results reveal nonlinear relationships between these measures and the iteration parameters , demonstrating the adaptability of the IA scheme for controlled fractal generation. A comparative analysis with CR iteration is also included to evaluate structural variation, computational behavior, and the broader relevance of the method for computer-based fractal modeling, visualization, and algorithmic design.- 27 May 2026

A Computational Framework for Escape Dynamics and Fractal Structures in Transcendental Complex Maps
This study offers a computational framework that analyzes the escape characteristics of transcendental complex maps by utilizing the AK iteration scheme. The well-known polynomial map of the form is generalized to the form , with and , allowing the creation of complex fractal structures. A precise escape criterion is developed for the AK iteration scheme, ensuring the numerical stability of the scheme when applied to the construction of the Mandelbrot set and the Julia set. In order to validate the effectiveness of the developed framework, a comparative analysis is performed between the AK iteration scheme and the CR iteration scheme, focusing on the first parametric case of the Mandelbrot set and the Julia set. The average escape time, average number of iterations, non-escaping area index, and fractal dimension are analyzed with respect to the two iteration schemes. The numerical results indicate that the fractal structure obtained by the AK iteration scheme is different from the fractal structure obtained by the CR iteration scheme, showing the effectiveness of the AK iteration scheme as a powerful tool in the study of complex systems.- 7 April 2026

A Distributional Framework Based on Gamma–Zeta Operators for Singular Fractional Models
Fractional calculus and distribution theory share a common conceptual origin in the symbolic interpretation of differentiation and integration. Despite this connection, most developments in fractional calculus have traditionally been formulated within the framework of ordinary functions, while the systematic use of distributions remains limited. In this work, a novel distributional framework is developed by constructing a fractional Taylor representation of the product of Euler gamma and Riemann zeta functions in terms of fractional derivatives of the Dirac delta distribution. The proposed formulation enables the derivation of new fractional identities via Laplace transformation and facilitates the analytical solution of fractional differential equations containing such functions. Closed-form solutions are obtained in both classical and generalized distributional senses, allowing the extension of solutions from the positive real axis to the entire real line. Furthermore, the framework is applied to fractional operators of Erdélyi–Kober type, yielding new integral and derivative transforms. Fractional differential and integral equations with singular terms arise naturally in several engineering models involving memory effects, impulsive responses, and anomalous transport phenomena. However, the presence of nonremovable singularities—such as those associated with Euler gamma and Riemann zeta functions—significantly restricts the applicability of classical analytical methods. Overall, the proposed distributional framework bridges the gap between abstract fractional calculus and practical engineering models by enabling analytical solutions of fractional systems with singular memory kernels that were previously inaccessible using classical methods.

New Fractional Integral Inequalities Involving the Fox-H and Meijer-G Functions for Convex and Synchronous Functions
On the one hand, convex functions are important to derive rigorous convergence rates, and on the other, synchronous functions are significant to solve statistical problems using Chebyshev inequalities. Therefore, fractional integral inequalities involving such functions play a crucial role in creating new models and methods. Although a large class of fractional operators have been used to establish inequalities, nevertheless, these operators having the Fox-H and the Meijer-G functions in their kernel have been applied to establish fractional integral inequalities for such important classes of functions. Taking motivation from these facts, the primary objective of this work is to develop fractional inequalities involving the Fox-H function for convex and synchronous functions. Since the Fox-H function generalizes several important special functions of fractional calculus, our results are significant to innovate the existing literature. The inventive features of these functions compel researchers to formulate deeper results involving them. Therefore, compared with the ongoing research in this field, our results are general enough to yield novel and inventive fractional inequalities. For instance, new inequalities involving the Meijer-G function are obtained as the special cases of these outcomes, and certain generalizations of Chebyshev inequality are also included in this article.

On the Global Dynamics of a Fourth-Order Riccati-Type Exponential Fuzzy Difference Equation
Fuzzy systems play a crucial role in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer science, drawing significant research interest in fuzzy difference equations. Inspired by this, we analyze the dynamic properties of a fourth-order exponential Riccati-type fuzzy difference equation. The study is further extended to a system of fourth-order fuzzy difference equations. We investigate the boundedness, as well as the local and global stability, of positive solutions. To support the theoretical findings, numerical examples are presented along with graphical and tabular representations.

Operational Calculus of the Quantum Statistical Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein Functions Leading to the Novel Fractional Kinetic Equations
The sun is a fundamental element of the natural environment, and kinetic equations are crucial mathematical models for determining how quickly the chemical composition of a star like the sun is changing. Taking motivation from these facts, we develop and solve a novel fractional kinetic equation containing Fermi–Dirac (FD) and Bose–Einstein (BE) functions. Several distributional properties of these functions and their proposed new generalizations are investigated in this article. In fact, it is proved that these functions belong to distribution space while their Fourier transforms belong to Fourier and Laplace transforms of these functions are computed by using their distributional representation. Thanks to them, we can compute various new fractional calculus formulae and a new relation involving the Fox–Wright function. Some fractional kinetic equations containing the FD and BE functions are also formulated and solved.- 19 December 2024
