    Abstract: The Cauchy operator plays important roles in the theory of basic hypergeometric series. As some applications, our purpose is mainly to show new proofs of the Mehler’s formula, the Rogers formula and the generating function for the homogeneous Hahn polynomials Φ(α)n(x,y|q)) by making use of the Cauchy operator and its properties. In addition, some i... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, the problem of setting traffic light cycles at crossroads and intersections is considered in order to reduce traffic congestion by minimizing total vehicle waiting time. A method to determine the family of all discrete cycle phasing systems with the minimum number of phases is presented. The aim is to detect the most appropriate ph... Show More

    Abstract: Chlamydia Genital infection has been a global health issue especially among most developing countries. Although, a lot of researchers have modelled CT infection to determine the impact of different intervals between Chlamydia infection and the development of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) on the cost-effectiveness of screening and the use of Chl...

    Abstract: Fractional Laplacian is an important nonlocal operator which has many applications in different kinds of differential equations. Recently, optimization problems involving the fractional Laplacian have been studied a lot by many authors. However, most of these papers are focusing on the optimization problems related to the first eigenvalue of the eq... Show More
