Abstract Let X be a set and f : X → X be a map. We denote by 𝒫(f) the topology defined on X whose closed sets are the subsets A of X with f (A) ⊆ A. A topology on X is said to be a primal topology, if it is a 𝒫(f) for some map f. Our aim here is to characterize when the product of an arbitrary family of topological spaces is a primal space.

Abstract Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex. A set D ⊆ V(G) is a double outer-independent dominating set of G if V (G) \ D is an independent set and | N[υ] ∩ D| ≥ 2 for every v ϵ V(G), where N[υ] denotes the closed neighbourhood of v. The minimum cardinality among all double outer-independent dominating sets of G is the double outer-independent domination number of G. In this paper, we continue

Abstract. To extend the notation of inner inverses, we define weighted inner inverses of a rectangular matrix. In particular, we introduce a W -weighted (B, C)-inner inverse of A, for given matrices A, W, B, C, and present some characterizations and conditions for its existence. Since this new inverse is not unique, we describe the set of all W -weighted (B, C)-inner inverses of a given matrix. Several

Abstract We study the approximation behavior of the Durrmeyer form of Apostol- Genocchi polynomials with Baskakov type operators including K-functional and second-order modulus of smoothness, Lipschitz space and find the rate of conver­gence for continuous functions whose derivative satisfies the condition of bounded variation. In the last section, we estimate weighted approximation behavior for these

Abstract In 1932 Agnew [1] introduced the concept of deferred Ceśaro means. Taking inspiration from this new approach, in this paper we introduce deferred asymptotically equivalent sequences using statistical convergence and prove some important results. This will be accomplished through a series of regularity type theorems.

Abstract Let R be a commutative ring and Xi.c (R) denotes the set of all integrally closed maximal subrings of R. It is shown that if R is a non-field G-domain, then there exists S ∈ Xi.c (R) with (S : R) = 0. If K is an algebraically closed field which is not absolutely algebraic, then we prove that the polynomial ring K[X] has an integrally closed maximal subring with zero conductor too; a characterization

Abstract In this paper, we investigate two methods to express the natural powers of 2 as sums over integer partitions. First we consider a formula by N. J. Fine that allows us to express a binomial coefficient in terms of multinomial coefficients as a sum over partitions. The second method invokes the central binomial coefficients and the logarithmic differentiation of their generating function. Some experimental

Abstract The purpose of the present work is to introduce a generalized graphic θ-contraction conditions on a family of mappings defined on subsets of a metric space endowed with a set-transitive directed graph, and discuss common fixed point results without considering any kind of commutativity and continuity of the family of mappings. Useful examples illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of

Abstract This paper is concerned with the problem of the optimal approximation for a given matrix pencil (Ma, Da, Ga, Ka, Na ) under the spectral constraint and the symmetric constraint. Such a problem arises in finite element model updating for damped gyroscopic systems. By using constrained optimization theory and matrix derivatives, an explicit formulation for the solution of the problem is established

Abstract In this paper, we show the following statements: (1) There exists a pseudocompact star Lindelöf Tychonoff space which is not star σ-compact. (2) There exists a Tychonoff pseudocompact star countable (hence, star Lindelöf) space having a pseudocompact, Gδ regular closed subspace which is not star Lindelöf. (3) Assuming , there exists a normal star countable (hence, star Lindelöf) space having

Abstract To study the quotient of algebras, like frames, whose algebraic structures are determined by a partial order, it is often more common to think about sub-kernels of homomorphisms between such algebras. So, in this paper, we first introduce the concept of a pre-congruence on a frame and then characterize them as the sub-kernels of the frame homomorphisms. Second, we characterize the frame congruences

Abstract In the paper, a joint theorem on the approximation of collections of analytic functions by generalized discrete shifts of zeta-functions with periodic coefficients is obtained. The latter result extend theorems of [9].

Abstract We define a two-variable Dirichlet series associated with two arithmetic functions, which is related to the Riemann zeta function, the Dirichlet L-function, the Dirichlet series associated to the harmonic numbers, and truncated multiple zeta functions. Using the periodic Euler-Maclaurin summation formula, we obtain a representation in terms of an ordinary Dirichlet series, which leads to the

Abstract The 1/2-conjecture on the domination game asserts that if G is a traceable graph, then the game domination number γg (G) of G is at most A traceable graph is a 1/2-graph if holds. It is proved that the so-called hatted cycles are 1/2-graphs and that unicyclic graphs fulfill the 1/2-conjecture. Several additional families of graphs that support the conjecture are determined and computer experiments

Abstract A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence is the k-generalized Fibonacci sequence whose first k terms are 0, . . . , 0, 1 and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding k terms. In this paper, by using a lower bound to linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers due to Matveev and some argument of the theory of continued fractions, we find all the members of F (k) which

Abstract We deal with a coupled system of k-Hessian equations: where k = 1, 2, · · · , N , B is a unit ball in ℝ N , N ≥ 2, α and β are positive constants. By using the fixed-point index theory in cone, we obtain the existence, uniqueness and nonexistence of radial convex solutions for some suitable constants α and β. Furthermore, by using a generalized Krein-Rutman theorem, we also obtain a necessary

Abstract In this paper we study the category of partially ordered objects in a topos E . The definition of a partially ordered object or internal poset is taken from [10], ϵ. Mac Lane and I. Moerdijk, Sheaves in geometry and logic, 1992. We will define the concept of monotone morphism between internal posets and then study the resulting category. We will show that the category of partially ordered

Abstract We apply the theory of Lie symmetries in order to study a fourth-order 1+2 evolutionary partial differential equation which has been proposed for the image processing noise reduction. In particular we determine the Lie point symmetries for the specific 1+2 partial differential equations and we apply the invariant functions to determine similarity solutions. For the static solutions we observe

Let K be the restricted contact Lie algebras K(n, ) over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p > 3. We prove that each skew-symmetric biderivation of K is inner and show that commuting maps on K are scalar multiplication maps. Moreover, it is showed that the commuting automorphisms and dertivations of K are proved to be the identity mappings and zero mappings, respectively. Meanwhile

This paper aims to introduce the spacetimes admitting the Z-symmetric tensor. We investigate the properties of these spacetimes for a perfect fluid and a pressureless perfect fluid (a dust). Some theorems about the properties are proved.

In this paper, we establish the link between continuous lattices and closure spaces. By generalizing the notion of algebraic closure space to continuous closure space, we show that continuous lattices can be represented by continuous closure spaces, just as algebraic lattices can be represented by algebraic closure spaces. We also introduce the notion of approximable mappings between continuous closure

This paper aims to construct a new family of numbers and polynomials which are related to the Bell numbers and polynomials by means of the confluent hypergeometric function. We give various properties of these numbers and polynomials (generating functions, explicit formulas, integral representations, recurrence relations, probabilistic representation, …). We also derive some combinatorial sums including

The Collatz conjecture establishes that for every natural number n ∈ ℕ, there exists an r ∈ ℕ such that κr (n) = 1, where κ : ℕ → ℕ is the function defined as n/2 if n es even and as 3n + 1 if n is odd. The map κ induces a topology τκ on ℕ. We prove that the Collatz conjecture and connectedness of the space (ℕ, τκ ) imply that the space is simply connected. Furthermore, we prove that the Collatz conjecture

We first give a summary of the history of transcendental numbers, and then we use a nice technique by G. Dresden to find a new transcendental number. In particular, while previous work looked at the last non-zero digit of nn , we consider the digit immediately before its last non-zero digit and show that the infinite decimal built from these digits is transcendental.

In this work we prove that the Riesz tensor product of two archimedean d-algebras is again a d-algebra.

Our main aim is to give a complete characterization of the reducibility sets of continuous 1-parameter families of sequences of matrices, which turn out to be the Fσ -sets. We also show that for any Fσ -set containing zero, one can find a family with this reducibility set. In addition, we obtain corresponding results for the reducibility-stability set and we give an optimal condition for the reducibility

By associating a quasi semigroup to a commutative evolution operator and using techniques from vector measures like the Gel’fand integral and the Radon- Nikodym theorem for Bochner integral, we prove the continuity on [0, +∞) of the adjoint of a certain class of evolution operators. Furthermore, we provide examples of evolution operators satisfying our conclusion. We also provide an application to

The model is characterized by a nonlinear second-order partial differential equation comprising of a power-law parameter β. We transform the model into nonlinear fractional ordinary differential equations and subsequently, solutions of

Let α = (1 + ϕ η) − 1 , β = (1+ηϕ ) − 1 , ε = (1−ϕϕ )ηα(1−ϕ ϕ), γ = α(1−ϕ ϕ)ηϕ β, σ = αϕ ϕα− 1(1− ϕϕ )β, δ = β∗ (ϕ ) ∗η∗ (1−ϕϕ )β. Then we present a sufficient condition such that f = ϕ + η − ε has pseudo core inverse

For a small, integral and meet-continuous quantaloid , we establish two types of Galois correspondences by considering a limit structure on a set as a -multiple limit structure on a -typed set. One Galois correspondence shows that the stratified -topologies and the -multiple limit structures based on -typed sets can be converted to each other categorically. Moreover, the other one shows that a new

We obtain lower and upper bounds on general multiplicative Zagreb indices for trees with given independence number and order. Bounds on basic multiplicative Zagreb indices follow from our results. We also show that the bounds are best possible.

The maximal point space of a domain (resp. algebraic domain) with the Scott topology is Choquet complete. Thus, not every T 1 topological space can be represented as the maximal point space of some algebraic domain equipped with the Scott topology. However, in this paper, we prove that: (1) Every T 1 topological space is homeomorphic to the set of all maximal points of some algebraic domain equipped

We study multiply warped products with compact Einstein manifolds. We obtain that there does not exist connected, compact Einstein multiply warped products if the scalar curvature is non-positive. It is also found that there does not exist non-trivial connected Einstein multiply warped product manifolds with compact base or compact fibres.

The aim of this note is to provide some new Gaussian hypergeometric summation formulae. These are further used to obtain certain new expressions for the product of hypergeometric series. Already obtained results by Bailey, Choi and Rathie and Qureshi et al. follow special cases of our main findings.

Bor [1], Bor and Thorpe [2] and the author [8] established the set of necessary and sufficient condition for the equivalence of absolute weighted mean summability methods of infinite series. In the present paper we extend their result to doubly infinite series by two dimensional weighted mean, which also includes the result of Rhoades [7].

In [22], V.M. Stankovíc introduced generalized Einstein type tensors of the kind θ (θ = 1, 2) in the generalized Riemannian space, and some relations which they satisfy are obtained using the first and the second kind of covariant derivative. In the present paper, generalized Einstein type tensors of the kind θ (θ = 3, 4) are introduced. Also, some relations which Einstein type tensors of the kind

A numerical semigroup S is positioned if for all s ∈ ℕ\S we have that F(S) + m(S) − s ∈ S. In this paper, we give algorithms to compute the set of positioned semigroups and a criterium to check whether S is or not is positioned. Furthermore, we prove the Wilf’s conjecture for this type of numerical semigroups.

The 1 + 2 dimensional Bogoyavlensky-Konopelchenko equation is investigated for its solution and conservation laws using the Lie point symmetry analysis. In the recent past, certain work has been done describing the Lie point symmetries for the equation and this work seems to be incomplete (S.S. Ray, Computers & Mathematics with Applications 74(6) (2017), 1158–1165). We obtained certain new symmetries

It is proved that the determinants satisfy the inequalities . These inequalities refine the well-known ones and enable us to establish upper and lower bounds for the determinants of infinite matrices which are “close” to triangular matrices

A time-space fractional reaction-diffusion equation in a bounded domain is considered. Under some conditions on the initial data, we show that solutions may experience blow-up in a finite time. However, for realistic initial conditions, solutions are global in time. Moreover, the asymptotic behavior of bounded solutions is analysed.

Which integer polynomials can we write down if the only exponent to be used is 3? Such problems can be considered as instances of the subnearring generation problem. We show that the nearring (ℤ[x], +, ◦) of integer polynomials, where the nearring multiplication is the composition of polynomials, has uncountably many subnearrings, and we give an explicit description of those nearrings that are generated

Suppose that f : SX → SY is a surjective map between the unit spheres of two real ∞ (Γ)-type spaces X and Y satisfying the following equation We show that such a mapping f is phase equivalent to an isometry, i.e., there exists a function ε : SX → {−1, 1} such that εf is an isometry. We further show that this isometry is the restriction of a linear isometry between the whole spaces. These results can

In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear fractional Schrödinger-Poisson system where s, t ∈ (0, 1) and 4s + 2t ≥ 3, 0 < q < 1, and a, K, V ∈ L∞ (ℝ3). When a, V both change sign in ℝ3, by applying the symmetric mountain pass theorem, we prove that the problem has infinitely many solutions under appropriate assumptions on a, K, V .

By an approximation method we compute explicitly traces of the Dirichlet form related to the Bessel process with respect to discrete measures as well as measures of mixed type. Then some global properties of the obtained Dirichlet forms, such as conservativeness, irreducibility and compact embedding for their domains are discussed.

In this study, we show that if LmLn is a repdigit in the base b and has at least two digits, then LmLn ∈ {3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 28, 36, 54, 121, 228}. Furthermore, it is shown that if Ln is a repdigit in the base b and has at least two

The main purpose of this paper is to totally characterize when the amalgamated duplication R ⋈ I of a ring R along an ideal I is an -ring as well as an -ring. In this regard, we prove that R ⋈ I is an -ring if and only if R is an -ring and I is contained in the set of zero divisors Z(R) of R. As to the Property () of R ⋈ I, it turns out that its characterization involves a new concept that we introduce

In this paper, we solve and study the global behavior of the admissible solutions of the difference equation where a, b > 0 and the initial values x −2, x −1, x 0 are real numbers. We study also the oscillation of the admissible solutions of the aforementioned difference equation and give some illustrative examples.

In this paper, we investigate conditions on a pair of Banach lattices E and F that tells us when every positive almost L-weakly compact (resp. almost M- weakly compact) operator T : E → F is weakly compact. Also, we present some necessary conditions that tells us when every weakly compact operator T : E → F is almost M-weakly compact (resp. almost L-weakly compact). In particular, we will prove that

We introduce weak exceptional sequence of modules which can be viewed as another modification of the standard case, different from the works of Igusa-Todorov [IT17] and Buan-Marsh [BM18]. For hereditary algebras it is equivalent to standard exceptional sequences. One important new feature is: if the global dimension of an algebra is greater than one, then the size of a full sequence can exceed the

In 2006, Schuster introduced the concept of Blaschke-Minkowski homo-morphism of convex bodies. In this paper, we introduce the Lp -mixed Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphism in Lp -Brunn-Minkowski theory. We then further study the Shephard type problem involving an affirmative answer and two negative answers for Lp -mixed Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphism.

In this paper, we introduce some kinds of interpolative proximal contractions named as Reich-Rus-Ćirić and Kannan types. Then taking into account the aforementioned mappings, we give a few best proximity point results. As special cases we obtain some fixed point results for interpolative contractions.
