This study introduces a new class of bi-univalent functions using q-fractional calculus for coefficient estimation. Applications include fluid flow modeling and a modified SIR epidemic model, demonstrating practical relevance.
Area of Science:
- Complex Analysis
- Fractional Calculus
- Mathematical Modeling
Background:
- Bi-univalent functions and fractional calculus are areas of significant theoretical and applied interest.
- Existing research often lacks practical physical or biological interpretations and unexplored applications in applied modeling.
- The integration of bi-univalent function theory with q-fractional calculus is a nascent field.
Purpose of the Study:
- Introduce a new subclass of bi-univalent functions using a generalized q-fractional differential operator.
- Derive upper bounds for Taylor-Maclaurin coefficients using Faber polynomial expansion.
- Demonstrate the practical applicability of the new framework in fluid dynamics and epidemic modeling.
Main Methods:
- Definition of a new subclass of bi-univalent functions.
- Application of Faber polynomial expansion for coefficient estimation.
- Development of a generalized q-fractional differential operator.
Main Results:
- Obtained upper bounds for Taylor-Maclaurin coefficients, including specific estimates for the second and third coefficients and a general bound.
- Successfully modeled ideal fluid flow boundaries using conformal mappings derived from the bi-univalent functions.
- Incorporated the theory into a modified SIR epidemic model, showing the role of fractional parameters in capturing memory effects and nonlinear dynamics.
Conclusions:
- The proposed class of bi-univalent functions offers both theoretical depth and practical utility in applied sciences.
- The study bridges theoretical advancements in complex analysis with tangible applications in physical and biological systems.
- The q-fractional calculus approach provides a powerful tool for modeling complex phenomena with memory effects.
