<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> We survey arithmetic and asymptotic properties of the alternating sum-of-divisors function β defined by β(pa) = pa − pa−1 + pa−2 − · · · + (−1)a for every prime power pa (a ≥ 1), and extended by multiplicativity. Certain open problems are also stated.</abstract>

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title>In this paper, we introduce and investigate new subclasses of bi-univalent functions related to shell-like curves connected with Fibonacci numbers. Furthermore, we find estimates of first two coefficients of functions in these classes. Also, we determine Fekete-Szegö inequalities for these function classes.</abstract>

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title>In this paper, we consider the performance evaluation of two retrial queueing system. Customers arrive to the system, if upon arrival, the queue is full, the new arriving customers either move into one of the orbits, from which they make a new attempts to reach the primary queue, until they find the server idle or balk and leave the system, these later, and after getting a service may comeback to the system requiring another service. So, we derive for this system, the joint distribution of the server state and retrial queue lengths. Then, we give some numerical results that clarify the relationship between the retrials, arrivals, balking rates, and the retrial queue length.</abstract>

The aim is to introduce some relation theoretic variants of F−contraction in an F−metric space endowed with a binary relation <italic>R</italic> and to prove results for its fixed point. In the sequel, several classes of contractions are sharpened, generalized, and improved. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the theoretical conclusions. As applications of the main results, we solve a Dirichlet-Neumann initial value problem and two Dirichlet boundary value problems.

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph with n vertices and m edges. ν(G) and c(G) = m − n + θ be the matching number and cyclomatic number of G, where θ is the number of connected components of G, respectively. Wang and Wong in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="j_ausm-2023-0019_ref_018">18</xref>] provided formulae for the upper and the lower bounds of the nullity η(G) of G as η(G) = n − 2ν(G) + 2c(G) and η(G) = n − 2ν(G) − c(G), respectively. In this paper, we restate the upper and the lower bounds of nullity η(G) of G utilizing omega invariant and inherently vertex degrees of G. Also, in the case of the maximal and the minimal nullity conditions are satisfied for G, we present both two main inequalities and many inequalities in terms of Omega invariant, analogously cyclomatic number, number of connected components and vertex degrees of G.
