In this article, a second-order Sturm-Liouville problem with impulsive effects and involving the one-dimensional p-Laplacian is considered. The existence of at least three weak solutions via variational methods and critical point theory is obtained.

In this paper, we introduce a numerical method for solving singularly perturbed delay differential equation using Liouville - Green transformation. As an initial step, we transformed the statement equation into a singular perturbation problem with boundary conditions and then we used Liouville - Green transformation to solve it. Almost second-order accuracy is achieved with the scheme derived. The algorithm's performance is assessed through the examination of multiple test scenarios that involve different perturbation settings and delay parameters. The results of the proposed method are compared with those of other numerical techniques already available. The numerical scheme is described together with error estimates and a convergence rate.

Inverse coefficient identification problems associated with the fourth-order Sturm-Liouville operator in the steady state Euler-Bernoulli beam equation are investigated. Unlike previous studies in which spectral data are used as additional information, in this paper only boundary information is used, hence non-destructive tests can be employed in practical applications.

In this note, two new mappings associated with convexity are propoesd, by which we obtain some new Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for convex functions via Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. We conclude that the results obtained in this work are the refinements of the earlier results.

Transcendental numbers are important in the history of mathematics because their study provided that circle squaring, one of the geometric problems of antiquity that had baffled mathematicians for more than 2000 years was insoluble. Liouville established in 1844 that transcendental numbers exist. In 1874, Cantor published his first proof of the existence of transcendentals in article [10]. Louville's theorem basically can be used to prove the existence of Transcendental number as well as produce a class of transcendental numbers. The number e was proved to be transcendental by Hermite in 1873, and $\pi$ by Lindemann in 1882. In 1934, Gelfond published a complete solution to the entire seventh problem of Hilbert. Within six weeks, Schneider found another independent solution. In 1966, A. Baker established the generalization of the Gelfond-Schneider theorem. He proved that any non-vanishing linear combination of logarithms of algebraic numbers with algebraic coefficients is transcendental. This study aims to examine the concept and development of transcendental numbers and to present students with its open problems promoting a research on it any further.

We here investigate the Liouville type theorems of slow diffusion differential inequality and its coupled system with variable coefficients in cone. First, we give the definition of global weak solution, and then we establish the universal estimate (does not depend on the initial value) of solution by constructing test function. At last, we obtain the nonexistence of non-negative non-trivial global weak solution within the appropriate critical exponent. The main feature of this method is that we need not use comparison theorem or the maximum principle.

In this paper, we are concerned with the following four point boundary value problem with one-dimensional p-Laplacian, $\{({\phi}_p(x'(t)))'+h(t)f(t,x(t),|x'(t)|)=0$, 0< t<1, $x'(0)-{\delta}x(\xi)=0,\;x'(1)+{\delta}x(\eta)=0$, where $\phi_p$ (s) = |s|$^{p-2}$, p > $\delta$ > 0, 1 > $\eta$ > $\xi$ > 0, ${\xi}+{\eta}$ = 1. By using a fixed point theorem in a cone, we obtain the existence of at least three symmetric positive solutions. The interesting point is that the boundary condition is a new Sturm-Liouville-like boundary condition, which has rarely been treated up to now.

Using the theory of combinatoric convolution sums, we establish some arithmetic identities involving Liouville functions and restricted divisor functions. We also prove some relations involving restricted divisor functions and Stirling numbers of the first kind for divisor functions.

The paper deals with the solution of some fractional partial differential equations obtained by substituting modified Riemann-Liouville derivatives for the customary derivatives. This derivative is introduced to avoid using the so-called Caputo fractional derivative which, at the extreme, says that, if you want to get the first derivative of a function you must before have at hand its second derivative. Firstly, one gives a brief background on the fractional Taylor series of nondifferentiable functions and its consequence on the derivative chain rule. Then one considers linear fractional partial differential equations with constant coefficients, and one shows how, in some instances, one can obtain their solutions on bypassing the use of Fourier transform and/or Laplace transform. Later one develops a Lagrange method via characteristics for some linear fractional differential equations with nonconstant coefficients, and involving fractional derivatives of only one order. The key is the fractional Taylor series of non differentiable function $f(x+h)=E_{\alpha}(h^{\alpha}{D_x^{\alpha})f(x)$.

This paper is concerned with the following fourth-order four-point Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem $u^{(4)}(t)=f(t,\;u(t),\;u^{\prime\prime}(t))$, $0\;{\leq}\;t\;{\leq}1$, ${\alpha}u(0)-{\beta}u^{\prime}(0)={\gamma}u(1)+{\delta}u^{\prime}(1)=0$, $au^{\prime\prime}(\xi_1)-bu^{\prime\prime\prime}(\xi_1)=cu^{\prime\prime}(\xi_2)+du^{\prime\prime\prime}(\xi_2)=0$. Some sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of at least one positive solution to the above boundary value problem by using the well-known Guo-Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem.
