Abstract

Fix 2 < n < ω and let CA n denote the class of cyindric algebras of dimension n. Roughly CA n is the algebraic counterpart of the proof theory of first order logic restricted to the first n variables which we denote by Ln . The variety RCA n of representable CA n s reflects algebraically the semantics of Ln . Members of RCA n are concrete algebras consisting of genuine n-ary relations, with set theoretic operations induced by the nature of relations, such as projections referred to as cylindrifications. Although CA n has a finite equational axiomatization, RCA n is not finitely axiomatizable, and it generally exhibits wild, often unpredictable and unruly behavior. This makes the theory of CA n substantially richer than that of Boolean algebras, just as much as Lω,ω is richer than propositional logic. We show using a so-called blow up and blur construction that several varieties (in fact infinitely many) containing and including the variety RCA n are not atom-canonical. A variety V of Boolean algebras with operators is atom canonical, if whenever A ∈ V is atomic, then its Dedekind-MacNeille completion, sometimes referred to as its minimal completion, is also in V. From our hitherto obtained algebraic results we show, employing the powerful machinery of algebraic logic, that the celebrated Henkin-Orey omitting types theorem, which is one of the classical first (historically) cornerstones of model theory of Lω,ω , fails dramatically for Ln even if we allow certain generalized models that are only locallly classical. It is also shown that any class K such that Nr n CA ω ∩ CRCA n ¯ K ¯ S c Nr n CA n +3, where CRCA n is the class of completely representable CA n s, and S c denotes the operation of forming dense (complete) subalgebras, is not elementary. Finally, we show that any class K such that S d RaCA ω ¯ K ¯ S c RaCA5 is not elementary, where S d denotes the operation of forming dense subalgebra.

Abstract

Let 𝔄 be a unital Banach algebra and its Jacobson radical. This paper investigates Banach algebras satisfying some chain conditions on closed ideals. In particular, it is shown that a Banach algebra 𝔄 satisfies the descending chain condition on closed left ideals then 𝔄/ is finite dimensional. We also prove that a C *-algebra satisfies the ascending chain condition on left annihilators if and only if it is finite dimensional. Moreover, other auxiliary results are established.

Abstract

In this study, a normalized form of regular Coulomb wave function is considered. By using the differential subordinations method due to Miller and Mocanu, we determine some conditions on the parameters such that the normalized regular Coulomb wave function is lemniscate starlike and exponential starlike in the open unit disk, respectively. In additon, by using the relationship between the regular Coulomb wave function and the Bessel function of the first kind we give some conditions for which the classical Bessel function of the first kind is lemniscate and exponential starlike in the unit disk 𝔻.

Abstract

This survey revisits Jenő Egerváry and Otto Szász’s article of 1928 on trigonometric polynomials and simple structured matrices focussing mainly on the latter topic. In particular, we concentrate on the spectral theory for the first type of the matrices introduced in the article, which are today referred to as k-tridiagonal matrices, and then discuss the explosion of interest in them over the last two decades, most of which could have benefitted from the seminal article, had it not been overlooked.

Let K = ℚ(α) be a number field generated by a complex root α of a monic irreducible polynomial f(x) = x 24m, with m ≠ 1 is a square free rational integer. In this paper, we prove that if m ≡ 2 or 3 (mod 4) and m ≢∓1 (mod 9), then the number field K is monogenic. If m ≡ 1 (mod 4) or m ≡ 1 (mod 9), then the number field K is not monogenic.

In this study, we investigate suborbital graphs G u,n of the normalizer Γ B (N) of Γ0 (N) in PSL(2, ℝ) for N = 2 α 3 β where α = 1, 3, 5, 7, and β = 0 or 2. In these cases the normalizer becomes a triangle group and graphs arising from the action of the normalizer contain quadrilateral circuits. In order to obtain graphs, we first define an imprimitive action of Γ B (N) on using the group Г Β + (N) and then obtain some properties of the graphs arising from this action.

Abstract

For n,m≥ 2 this paper is devoted to the description of the sets of extreme and exposed points of the closed unit balls of ( l n m ) and s ( l n m ) , where ( l n m ) is the space of n-linear forms on m with the supremum norm, and s ( l n m ) is the subspace of ( l n m ) consisting of symmetric n-linear forms. First we classify the extreme points of the unit balls of ( l n m ) and s ( l n m ) , respectively. We show that ext B ( l n m ) ⊂ ext B ( l n m + 1 ) , which answers the question in [32]. We show that every extreme point of the unit balls of ( l n m ) and s ( l n m ) is exposed, correspondingly. We also show that
ext B s ( l n 2 ) = ext  B ( l n 2 ) s ( l n 2 ) ,
ext  B s ( l 2 m + 1 ) ext  B ( l 2 m + 1 ) s ( l 2 m + 1 ) ,
exp B S ( l n 2 ) = exp B ( l n 2 ) s ( l n 2 )

and exp B s ( l 2 m + 1 ) exp B ( l 2 m + 1 ) s ( l 2 m + 1 ) ,

which answers the questions in [31].

Abstract

Consider the sequence s of the signs of the coefficients of a real univariate polynomial P of degree d. Descartes’ rule of signs gives compatibility conditions between s and the pair (r + ,r ), where r + is the number of positive roots and r the number of negative roots of P. It was recently asked if there are other compatibility conditions, and the answer was given in the form of a list of incompatible triples (s; r + ,r ) which begins at degree d = 4 and is known up to degree 8. In this paper we raise the question of the compatibility conditions for ( s ; r 0 + , r 0 ; r 1 + , r 1 ; ; r d 1 + , r d 1 ) , where r i + (resp. r i ) is the number of positive (resp. negative) roots of the i-th derivative of P. We prove that up to degree 5, there are no other compatibility conditions than the Descartes conditions, the above recent incompatibilities for each i, and the trivial conditions given by Rolle’s theorem.

Let l,m,r be fixed positive integers such that 2 | l, 3 lm, l > r and 3 | r. In this paper, using the BHV theorem on the existence of primitive divisors of Lehmer numbers, we prove that if min{rlm 2 − 1,(lr)lm 2 + 1} > 30, then the equation (rlm 2 − 1) x + ((lr)lm 2 + 1) y = (lm) z has only the positive integer solution (x,y,z) = (1,1,2).

Abstract

In 1975 C. F. Chen and C. H. Hsiao established a new procedure to solve initial value problems of systems of linear differential equations with constant coefficients by Walsh polynomials approach. However, they did not deal with the analysis of the proposed numerical solution. In a previous article we study this procedure in case of one equation with the techniques that the theory of dyadic harmonic analysis provides us. In this paper we extend these results through the introduction of a new procedure to solve initial value problems of differential equations with not necessarily constant coefficients.

Abstract

Let p ( z ) = j = 0 n a j z j be a polynomial of degree n. Further, let M ( p , R ) = max | z | = R 1 | p ( z ) | , and p = M ( p , 1 ) . Then according to the well-known Bernstein inequalities, we have p n p and M ( p , R ) R n p . It is an open problem to obtain inequalities analogous to these inequalities for the class of polynomials satisfying p(z) ≡ z n p(1/z). In this paper we obtain some inequalites in this direction for polynomials that belong to this class and have all their coefficients in any sector of opening γ, where 0 _ γ < π. Our results generalize and sharpen several of the known results in this direction, including those of Govil and Vetterlein [3], and Rahman and Tariq [12]. We also present two examples to show that in some cases the bounds obtained by our results can be considerably sharper than the known bounds.

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that if X is a space with a regular G δ -diagonal and X 2 is star Lindelöf then the cardinality of X is at most 2c. We also prove that if X is a star Lindelöf space with a symmetric g-function such that {g 2(n, x): nω} = {x} for each xX then the cardinality of X is at most 2c. Moreover, we prove that if X is a star Lindelöf Hausdorff space satisfying (X) = κ then e(X) 22κ ; and if X is Hausdorff and we(X) = (X) = κsubset of a space then e(X) 2 κ . Finally, we prove that under V = L if X is a first countable DCCC normal space then X has countable extent; and under MA+¬CH there is an example of a first countable, DCCC and normal space which is not star countable extent. This gives an answer to the Question 3.10 in Spaces with property (DC(ω 1)), Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin., 58(1) (2017), 131-135.

Abstract

Fejes Tóth [3] studied approximations of smooth surfaces in three-space by piecewise flat triangular meshes with a given number of vertices on the surface that are optimal with respect to Hausdorff distance. He proves that this Hausdorff distance decreases inversely proportional with the number of vertices of the approximating mesh if the surface is convex. He also claims that this Hausdorff distance is inversely proportional to the square of the number of vertices for a specific non-convex surface, namely a one-sheeted hyperboloid of revolution bounded by two congruent circles. We refute this claim, and show that the asymptotic behavior of the Hausdorff distance is linear, that is the same as for convex surfaces.

Let H n be the n-th harmonic number and let v n be its denominator. It is known that v n is even for every integer n > = 2 . In this paper, we study the properties of H n and prove that for any integer n, v n = e n(1+o(1)). In addition, we obtain some results of the logarithmic density of harmonic numbers.

We verify an upper bound of Pach and Tóth from 1997 on the midrange crossing constant. Details of their 8 9 π 2 upper bound have not been available. Our verification is different from their method and hinges on a result of Moon from 1965. As Moon’s result is optimal, we raise the question whether the midrange crossing constant is 8 9 π 2 .

Let 0 < γ 1 < γ 2 < ··· ⩽ ··· be the imaginary parts of non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. In the paper, we consider the approximation of analytic functions by shifts of the Hurwitz zeta-function ζ(s + k h, α), h > 0, with parameter α such that the set {log(m + α): m 0 } is linearly independent over the field of rational numbers. For this, a weak form of the Montgomery conjecture on the pair correlation of {γ k } is applied.

In this paper, we obtain generalized weighted Sobolev-Morrey estimates with weights from the Muckenhoupt class Ap by establishing boundedness of several important operators in harmonic analysis such as Hardy-Littlewood operators and Calderon-Zygmund singular integral operators in generalized weighted Morrey spaces. As a consequence, a priori estimates for the weak solutions Dirichlet boundary problem uniformly elliptic equations of higher order in generalized weighted Sobolev-Morrey spaces in a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ n are obtained.

Let X be a Hilbert C*-module over a C*-algebra B. In this paper we introduce two classes of operator algebras on the Hilbert C*-module X called operator algebras with property k and operator algebras with property ℤ, and we study the first (continuous) cohomology group of them with coefficients in various Banach bimodules under several conditions on B and X. Some of our results generalize the previous results. Also we investigate some properties of these classes of operator algebras.

Abstract

Let m ≠ 0, ±1 and n ≥ 2 be integers. The ring of algebraic integers of the pure fields of type ( n m ) is explicitly known for n = 2, 3,4. It is well known that for n = 2, an integral basis of the pure quadratic fields can be given parametrically, by using the remainder of the square-free part of m modulo 4. Such characterisation of an integral basis also exists for cubic and quartic pure fields, but for higher degree pure fields there are only results for special cases.

In this paper we explicitly give an integral basis of the field ( n m ) , where m ≠ ±1 is square-free. Furthermore, we show that similarly to the quadratic case, an integral basis of ( n m ) is repeating periodically in m with period length depending on n.

We provide a new proof of Hua's result that every sufficiently large integer N ≡ 5 (mod 24) can be written as the sum of the five prime squares. Hua's original proof relies on the circle method and uses results from the theory of L-functions. Here, we present a proof based on the transference principle first introduced in[5]. Using a sieve theoretic approach similar to ([10]), we do not require any results related to the distributions of zeros of L- functions. The main technical difficulty of our approach lies in proving the pseudo-randomness of the majorant of the characteristic function of the W-tricked primes which requires a precise evaluation of the occurring Gaussian sums and Jacobi symbols.

We prove that, for any cofinally Polish space X, every locally finite family of non-empty open subsets of X is countable. It is also established that Lindelöf domain representable spaces are cofinally Polish and domain representability coincides with subcompactness in the class of σ-compact spaces. It turns out that, for a topological group G whose space has the Lindelöf Σ-property, the space G is domain representable if and only if it is Čech-complete. Our results solve several published open questions.

Let N be a positive integer, A be a subset of ℚ and α = α 1 α 2 A \ { 0 , N } . N is called an α-Korselt number (equivalently α is said an N-Korselt base) if α 2 pα 1 divides α 2 Nα 1 for every prime divisor p of N. By the Korselt set of N over A , we mean the set A K S ( N ) of all α A \ { 0 , N } such that N is an α-Korselt number.

In this paper we determine explicitly for a given prime number q and an integer l ∈ ℕ \{0, 1}, the set A - K S ( q l ) and we establish some connections between the ql -Korselt bases in ℚ and others in ℤ. The case of A = [ 1 , 1 [ is studied where we prove that ( [ 1 , 1 [ ) - K S ( q l ) is empty if and only if l = 2.

Moreover, we show that each nonzero rational α is an N-Korselt base for infinitely many numbers N = ql where q is a prime number and l ∈ ℕ.

Sufficient conditions on associated parameters p, b and c are obtained so that the generalized and “normalized” Bessel function up (z) = up,b,c (z) satisfies the inequalities ∣(1 + (zu p (z)/u p (z)))2 − 1∣ &lt; 1 or ∣((zu p(z))′/up (z))2 − 1∣ &lt; 1. We also determine the condition on these parameters so that ( 4 ( p + ( b + 1 ) / 2 ) / c ) u p ' ( x ) 1 + z . Relations between the parameters μ and p are obtained such that the normalized Lommel function of first kind hμ,p (z) satisfies the subordination 1 + ( z h μ , p ' ' ( z ) / h μ , q ' ( z ) ) 1 + z . Moreover, the properties of Alexander transform of the function hμ,p (z) are discussed.

In this paper, we obtain necessary as well as sufficient conditions for exponential rate of decrease of the variance of the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) for the unknown mean of a stationary sequence possessing a spectral density. In particular, we show that a necessary condition for variance of BLUE to decrease to zero exponentially is that the spectral density vanishes on a set of positive Lebesgue measure in any vicinity of zero.

Abstract

We prove completeness, interpolation, decidability and an omitting types theorem for certain multi-dimensional modal logics where the states are not abstract entities but have an inner structure. The states will be sequences. Our approach is algebraic addressing varieties generated by complex algebras of Kripke semantics for such logics. The algebras dealt with are common cylindrification free reducts of cylindric and polyadic algebras. For finite dimensions, we show that such varieties are finitely axiomatizable, have the super amalgamation property, and that the subclasses consisting of only completely representable algebras are elementary, and are also finitely axiomatizable in first order logic. Also their modal logics have an N P complete satisfiability problem. Analogous results are obtained for infinite dimensions by replacing finite axiomatizability by finite schema axiomatizability.

The Pell sequence ( P n ) n = 0 is given by the recurrence Pn = 2Pn −1 + Pn −2 with initial condition P 0 = 0, P 1 = 1 and its associated Pell-Lucas sequence ( Q n ) n = 0 is given by the same recurrence relation but with initial condition Q 0 = 2, Q 1 = 2. Here we show that 6 is the only perfect number appearing in these sequences. This paper continues a previous work that searched for perfect numbers in the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences.

We study the discrete time risk process modelled by the skip-free random walk and derive results connected to the ruin probability and crossing a fixed level for this type of process. We use the method relying on the classical ballot theorems to derive the results for crossing a fixed level and compare them to the results known for the continuous time version of the risk process. We generalize this model by adding a perturbation and, still relying on the skip-free structure of that process, we generalize the previous results on crossing the fixed level for the generalized discrete time risk process. We further derive the famous Pollaczek-Khinchine type formula for this generalized process, using the decomposition of the supremum of the dual process at some special instants of time.

Similar results are also proved for induced hyperspaces.

Abstract

To a branched cover f between orientable surfaces one can associate a certain branch datum D ( f ) , that encodes the combinatorics of the cover. This D ( f ) satisfies a compatibility condition called the Riemann-Hurwitz relation. The old but still partly unsolved Hurwitz problem asks whether for a given abstract compatible branch datum D there exists a branched cover f such that D ( f ) = D . One can actually refine this problem and ask how many these f's exist, but one must of course decide what restrictions one puts on such f’s, and choose an equivalence relation up to which one regards them. As it turns out, quite a few natural choices for this relation are possible. In this short note we carefully analyze all these choices and show that the number of actually distinct ones is only three. To see that these three choices are indeed different from each other we employ Grothendieck's dessins d'enfant.

The aim of this paper is to study the congruences on abundant semigroups with quasi-ideal adequate transversals. The good congruences on an abundant semigroup with a quasi-ideal adequate transversal S° are described by the equivalence triple abstractly which consists of equivalences on the structure component parts I, S° and Λ. Also, it is shown that the set of all good congruences on this kind of semigroup forms a complete lattice.

We also employ an entirely new method to generalize and extend the results of Theorems 1, 2 and 3 in [3]. Finally, some inequalities concerning the norm of the pre-Schwarzian derivative for Dziok-Srivastava operator are also considered.

For β an ordinal, let PEA β (SetPEA β ) denote the class of polyadic equality (set) algebras of dimension β. We show that for any infinite ordinal α, if A PEA α is atomic, then for any n < ω, the n-neat reduct of A , in symbols r n A B , is a completely representable PEA n (regardless of the representability of A ). That is to say, for all non-zero a r n A , there is a B a SetPEA n and a homomorphism f a : r n A B such that fa (a) ≠ 0 and f a ( X ) = x X f a ( x ) for any X = A for which X exists. We give new proofs that various classes consisting solely of completely representable algebras of relations are not elementary; we further show that the class of completely representable relation algebras is not closed under ≡∞,ω . Various notions of representability (such as ‘satisfying the Lyndon conditions’, weak and strong) are lifted from the level of atom structures to that of atomic algebras and are further characterized via special neat embeddings. As a sample, we show that the class of atomic CA n s satisfying the Lyndon conditions coincides with the class of atomic algebras in ElS c Nr n CA ω , where El denotes ‘elementary closure’ and S c is the operation of forming complete subalgebras.

A group G is called metahamiltonian if all its non-abelian subgroups are normal. The aim of this paper is to investigate the structure of uncountable groups of cardinality ℵ in which all proper subgroups of cardinality ℵ are metahamiltonian. It is proved that such a group is metahamiltonian, provided that it has no simple homomorphic images of cardinality ℵ. Furthermore, the behaviour of elements of finite order in uncountable groups is studied in the second part of the paper.

Abstract

We study some mathematical properties of a new generator of continuous distributions called the Odd Nadarajah-Haghighi (ONH) family. In particular, three special models in this family are investigated, namely the ONH gamma, beta and Weibull distributions. The family density function is given as a linear combination of exponentiated densities. Further, we propose a bivariate extension and various characterization results of the new family. We determine the maximum likelihood estimates of ONH parameters for complete and censored data. We provide a simulation study to verify the precision of these estimates. We illustrate the performance of the new family by means of a real data set.

The intersection of all maximal right ideals of a near-ring N is called the quasi-radical of N. In this paper, first we show that the quasi-radical of the zero-symmetric near-ring of polynomials R 0[x] equals to the set of all nilpotent elements of R 0[x], when R is a commutative ring with Nil (R)2 = 0. Then we show that the quasi-radical of R 0[x] is a subset of the intersection of all maximal left ideals of R 0[x]. Also, we give an example to show that for some commutative ring R the quasi-radical of R 0[x] coincides with the intersection of all maximal left ideals of R 0[x]. Moreover, we prove that the quasi-radical of R 0[x] is the greatest quasi-regular (right) ideal of it.
