In this paper, we construct, and study a certain type of definite, or indefinite inner product spaces over the real field $\mathbb{R}$, induced by the scaled hypercomplex numbers $\mathbb{H}_{t}$ for a fixed scale $t\in\mathbb{R}$, and some bounded operators acting on such vector spaces. In particular, we are interested in the vector spaces $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$ consisting of all $N$-tuples of scaled hypercomplex numbers of $\mathbb{H}_{t}$, and the $\left(N\times N\right)$-matrices acting on $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$ whose entries are from $\mathbb{H}_{t}$, i.e., $\mathbb{H}_{t}$-matrices, for all $N\in\mathbb{N}$. For an arbitrarily fixed $N\in\mathbb{N}$, we define $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$ as a subspace of a certain functional vector space $\mathbf{H}_{t:2}$ equipped with a well-defined definite (if $t<0$), or indefinite (if $t\geq0$) inner product introduced in [6, 7, 8]. So, one can check immediately that our subspace $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$ becomes a restricted definite, or indefinite inner product Banach space. Operator-theoretic, operator-algebraic and free-probabilistic properties of $\mathbb{H}_{t}$-matrices are considered and characterized on $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$.

Using the new definition of the $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha}_F$-derivative function introduced by Juan E. Nápoles Valdés and al. (2020), we provide a new definition for the $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha}_F$-Sumudu transform, $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha}_F$-Sumudu conformable transform. Additionally, we establish several important results related to these new transforms. We also give a new definition of convolution related to this $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha}_F$-derivative and we show that it is commutative and associative.

In this paper, the Laguerre-Bessel wavelet packets transform is defined and studied. The scale discrete scaling function and the associated Plancherel and inversion formulas are given and established. Furthermore, the Calderón reproducing formula is given and proved for the proposed transform.

Any abstract Gram operator is consistent with some graph. For an arbitrary operator $B_\Gamma$ that is consistent with a graph $\Gamma$, the question arises as to when it is an abstract Gram operator, i.e., whether it is nonnegative. We study this question for certain types of graphs. The simplest case is a star graph. Next, we use the results obtained for star graphs to explore a more general case, where a graph $\Gamma$ can be treated as a collection of rooted trees, with their roots connected by additional edges into a connected subgraph $\Gamma_0$. The work shows that the question about the nonnegativity of an operator $B_\Gamma$ for such a graph can be reduced to the corresponding question for some operator that is consistent with the subgraph $\Gamma_0$.
