# A Remark on Nefness of Divisors on Surfaces of General Type

Studia Scientiarum Mathematicarum Hungarica
Authors:
Debojyoti Bhattacharya
and
Joyentanuj Das

Let X be an irreducible complex projective variety of dimension n ≥ 1. Let D be a Cartier divisor on X such that Hi(X, OX (mD)) = 0 for m > 0 and for all i > 0, then it is not true in general that D is a nef divisor (cf. [4]). Also, in general, effective divisors on smooth surfaces are not necessarily nef (they are nef provided they are semiample). In this article, we show that, if X is a smooth surface of general type and C is a smooth hyperplane section of it, then for any non-zero effective divisor D on X satisfying H1(X, OX (mD)) = 0 for all m > C.KX , D is a nef divisor.

# Gel’fand Γ-Semirings

Mathematica Pannonica
Authors:
Tilak Raj Sharma
and
Hitesh Kumar Ranote

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a Gel’fand Γ-semiring and discuss the various characterization of simple, k-ideal, strong ideal, t-small elements and additively cancellative elements of a Gel’fand Γ-semiring R, and prove that the set of additively cancellative elements, set of all t-small elements of R and set of all maximal ideal of R are strong ideals. Further, let R be a simple Gel’fand Γ-semiring and 1 ≠ tR. Let M be the set of all maximal left (right) ideals of R. Then an element x of R is t-small if and only if it belongs to every maximal one sided left (right)ideal of R containing t.

# Operator Convexity of an Integral Transform with Applications

Mathematica Pannonica
Author:
Silvestru Sever Dragomir

For a continuous and positive function w(λ), λ > 0 and μ a positive measure on (0, ∞) we consider the following integral transform

$D w , μ t : = ∫ 0 ∞ w λ λ + t − 1 d μ λ ,$

where the integral is assumed to exist for t > 0.

We show among others that D(w, μ) is operator convex on (0, ∞). From this we derive that, if f : [0, ∞) → R is an operator monotone function on [0, ∞), then the function [f(0) -f(t)] t -1 is operator convex on (0, ∞). Also, if f : [0, ∞) → R is an operator convex function on [0, ∞), then the function $f 0 + f + ′ 0 t − f t t − 2$ is operator convex on (0, ∞). Some lower and upper bounds for the Jensen’s difference

$D w , μ A + D w , μ B 2 − D w , μ A + B 2$

under some natural assumptions for the positive operators A and B are given. Examples for power, exponential and logarithmic functions are also provided.

Problem 2 of Welsh’s 1976 text Matroid Theory, asking for criteria telling when two families of sets have a common transversal, is solved.

Another unsolved problem in the text Matroid Theory, on whether the “join” of two non-decreasing submodular functions is submodular, is answered in the negative. This resolves an issue first raised by Pym and Perfect in 1970.

# Algebra of Data Reconciliation

Studia Scientiarum Mathematicarum Hungarica
Authors:
Elod P. Csirmaz
and
Laszlo Csirmaz

With distributed computing and mobile applications becoming ever more prevalent, synchronizing diverging replicas of the same data is a common problem. Reconciliation – bringing two replicas of the same data structure as close as possible without overriding local changes – is investigated in an algebraic model. Our approach is to consider two sequences of simple commands that describe the changes in the replicas compared to the original structure, and then determine the maximal subsequences of each that can be propagated to the other. The proposed command set is shown to be functionally complete, and an update detection algorithm is presented which produces a command sequence transforming the original data structure into the replica while traversing both simultaneously. Syntactical characterization is provided in terms of a rewriting system for semantically equivalent command sequences. Algebraic properties of sequence pairs that are applicable to the same data structure are investigated. Based on these results the reconciliation problem is shown to have a unique maximal solution. In addition, syntactical properties of the maximal solution allow for an efficient algorithm that produces it.

# Convex Bodies of Constant Width in Spaces of Constant Curvature and the Extremal Area of Reuleaux Triangles

Studia Scientiarum Mathematicarum Hungarica

Károly J. Böröczky
and
Ádám Sagmeister

Extending Blaschke and Lebesgue’s classical result in the Euclidean plane, it has been recently proved in spherical and the hyperbolic cases, as well, that Reuleaux triangles have the minimal area among convex domains of constant width D. We prove an essentially optimal stability version of this statement in each of the three types of surfaces of constant curvature. In addition, we summarize the fundamental properties of convex bodies of constant width in spaces of constant curvature, and provide a characterization in the hyperbolic case in terms of horospheres.

# On Sets of Points in General Position That Lie on a Cubic Curve in the Plane

Studia Scientiarum Mathematicarum Hungarica
Authors:
Mehdi Makhul
and
Rom Pinchasi

Let P be a set of n points in general position in the plane. Let R be a set of points disjoint from P such that for every x, y € P the line through x and y contains a point in R. We show that if is contained in a cubic curve c in the plane, then P has a special property with respect to the natural group structure on c. That is, P is contained in a coset of a subgroup H of c of cardinality at most |R|.

We use the same approach to show a similar result in the case where each of B and G is a set of n points in general position in the plane and every line through a point in B and a point in G passes through a point in R. This provides a partial answer to a problem of Karasev.

The bound $R < 3 2 n$ is best possible at least for part of our results. Our extremal constructions provide a counterexample to an old conjecture attributed to Jamison about point sets that determine few directions.

# A Note on Common Nuclear Köthe Subspaces and Quotients

Authors:
Emre Taştüner
and
Murat Hayrettin Yurdakul

Let E, G be Fréchet spaces and F be a complete locally convex space. It is observed that the existence of a continuous linear not almost bounded operator T on E into F factoring through G causes the existence of a common nuclear Köthe subspace of the triple (E, G, F). If, in addition, F has the property (y), then (E, G, F) has a common nuclear Köthe quotient.

# Bipartite Domination in Graphs

Authors:
Anna Bachstein
,
Wayne Goddard
, and
Michael A. Henning

The bipartite domination number of a graph is the minimum size of a dominating set that induces a bipartite subgraph. In this paper we initiate the study of this parameter, especially bounds involving the order, the ordinary domination number, and the chromatic number. For example, we show for an isolate-free graph that the bipartite domination number equals the domination number if the graph has maximum degree at most 3; and is at most half the order if the graph is regular, 4-colorable, or has maximum degree at most 5.

, and
G. G. Hamedani

This study proposes a new family of continuous distributions, called the Gudermannian generated family of distributions, based on the Gudermannian function. The statistical properties, including moments, incomplete moments and generating functions, are studied in detail. Simulation studies are performed to discuss and evaluate the maximum likelihood estimations of the model parameters. The regression model of the proposed family considering the heteroscedastic structure of the scale parameter is defined. Three applications on real data sets are implemented to convince the readers in favour of the proposed models.

In this article, we study a family of subgraphs of the Farey graph, denoted as N for every N ∈ ℕ. We show that N is connected if and only if N is either equal to one or a prime power. We introduce a class of continued fractions referred to as N -continued fractions for each N > 1. We establish a relation between N -continued fractions and certain paths from infinity in the graph N . Using this correspondence, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of N -continued fraction expansions of real numbers.

# A Note on Visible Islands

Studia Scientiarum Mathematicarum Hungarica
Authors:
Sophie Leuchtner
,
Carlos M. Nicolás
, and
Andrew Suk

Given a finite point set P in the plane, a subset S⊆P is called an island in P if conv(S) ⋂ P = S. We say that S ⊂ P is a visible island if the points in S are pairwise visible and S is an island in P. The famous Big-line Big-clique Conjecture states that for any k ≥ 3 and l ≥ 4, there is an integer n = n(k, l), such that every finite set of at least n points in the plane contains l collinear points or k pairwise visible points. In this paper, we show that this conjecture is false for visible islands, by replacing each point in a Horton set by a triple of collinear points. Hence, there are arbitrarily large finite point sets in the plane with no 4 collinear members and no visible island of size 13.

In this article, we define the notion of a generalized open book of a n-manifold over the k−sphere Sk , k < n. We discuss Lefschetz open book embeddings of Lefschetz open books of closed oriented 4-manifolds into the trivial open book over S2 of the 7−sphere S7 . If X is the double of a bounded achiral Lefschetz fibration over D2 , then X naturally admits a Lefschetz open book given by the bounded achiral Lefschetz fibration. We show that this natural Lefschetz open book of X admits a Lefschetz open book embedding into the trivial open book over S2 of the 7−sphere S7 .

# A Property of Lattices of Sublattices Closed Under Taking Relative Complements and Its Connection to 2-Distributivity

Mathematica Pannonica
Author:
Gábor Czédli

For a lattice L of finite length n, let RCSub(L) be the collection consisting of the empty set and those sublattices of L that are closed under taking relative complements. That is, a subset X of L belongs to RCSub(L) if and only if X is join-closed, meet-closed, and whenever {a, x, b} ⊆ S, yL, xy = a, and xy = b, then yS. We prove that (1) the poset RCSub(L) with respect to set inclusion is lattice of length n + 1, (2) if RCSub(L) is a ranked lattice and L is modular, then L is 2-distributive in András P. Huhn’s sense, and (3) if L is distributive, then RCSub(L) is a ranked lattice.

# On Derivations and Lie Ideals of Semirings

Mathematica Pannonica
Authors:
and
Neelam

In this paper, centralizing (semi-centralizing) and commuting (semi-commuting) derivations of semirings are characterized. The action of these derivations on Lie ideals is also discussed and as a consequence, some significant results are proved. In addition, Posner’s commutativity theorem is generalized for Lie ideals of semirings and this result is also extended to the case of centralizing (semi-centralizing) derivations of prime semirings. Further, we observe that if there exists a skew-commuting (skew-centralizing) derivation D of S, then D = 0. It is also proved that for any two derivations d 1 and d 2 of a prime semiring S with char S ≠ 2 and x d 1 x d 2 = 0, for all xS implies either d 1 = 0 or d 2 = 0.

# Convexity of Distinct Sum Sets

Alexander Lemmens

We study a combinatorial notion where given a set S of lattice points one takes the set of all sums of p distinct points in S, and we ask the question: ‘if S is the set of lattice points of a convex lattice polytope, is the resulting set also the set of lattice points of a convex lattice polytope?’ We obtain a positive result in dimension 2 and a negative result in higher dimensions. We apply this to the corner cut polyhedron.

# Realization of a Graph as the Reeb Graph of a Morse–Bott or a Round Function

Studia Scientiarum Mathematicarum Hungarica
Author:
Irina Gelbukh

We prove criteria for a graph to be the Reeb graph of a function of a given class on a closed manifold: Morse–Bott, round, and in general smooth functions whose critical set consists of a finite number of submanifolds. The criteria are given in terms of whether the graph admits an orientation, which we call S-good orientation, with certain conditions on the degree of sources and sinks, similar to the known notion of good orientation in the context of Morse functions. We also study when such a function is the height function associated with an immersion of the manifold. The condition for a graph to admit an S-good orientation can be expressed in terms of the leaf blocks of the graph.

# On the Mean Value of Arithmetic Error Terms

Mathematica Pannonica
Author:
János Pintz

In the 1980’s the author proved lower bounds for the mean value of the modulus of the error term of the prime number theorem and other important number theoretic functions whose oscillation is in connection with the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. In the present work a general theorem is shown in a simple way which gives a lower bound for the mentioned mean value as a function of a hypothetical pole of the Mellin transform of the function. The conditions are amply satisfied for the Riemann zeta function. In such a way the results recover the earlier ones (even in a slightly sharper form). The obtained estimates are often optimal apart from a constant factor, at least under reasonable conditions as the Riemann Hypothesis. This is the case, in particular, for the error term of the prime number theorem.

# Interval Chains and Completeness in Ultrapowers of Ordered Sets

Péter Tóth

The ultrapower T* of an arbitrary ordered set T is introduced as an infinitesimal extension of T. It is obtained as the set of equivalence classes of the sequences in T, where the corresponding relation is generated by a free ultrafilter on the set of natural numbers. It is established that T* always satisfies Cantor’s property, while one can give the necessary and sufficient conditions for T so that T* would be complete or it would fulfill the open completeness property, respectively. Namely, the density of the original set determines the open completeness of the extension, while independently, the completeness of T* is determined by the cardinality of T.

# A Riemann–von Mangoldt-Type Formula for the Distribution of Beurling Primes

Mathematica Pannonica
Author:
Szilárd Gy. Révész

In this paper we work out a Riemann–von Mangoldt type formula for the summatory function $ψ x$ :=  $∑ g ∈ G , g ≤ x Λ G g$ , where $G$ is an arithmetical semigroup (a Beurling generalized system of integers) and $Λ G$ is the corresponding von Mangoldt function attaining with a prime element $p ∈ G$ and zero otherwise. On the way towards this formula, we prove explicit estimates on the Beurling zeta function $ζ G$ , belonging to $G$ , to the number of zeroes of $ζ G$ in various regions, in particular within the critical strip where the analytic continuation exists, and to the magnitude of the logarithmic derivative of $ζ G$ , under the sole additional assumption that Knopfmacher’s Axiom A is satisfied. We also construct a technically useful broken line contour to which the technic of integral transformation can be well applied. The whole work serves as a first step towards a further study of the distribution of zeros of the Beurling zeta function, providing appropriate zero density and zero clustering estimates, to be presented in the continuation of this paper.
