On $$ \mathcal{C} $$*-sets and decompositions of continuous and ηζ-continuous functions

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the concepts of *-sets, *-continuous functions and to obtain new decompositions of continuous and ηζ-continuous functions. Moreover, properties of *-sets and some properties of -sets are discussed.      

Compact solutions to the equation Tx = y in a weakly closed $$ \mathcal{T}(\mathcal{N}) $$-module

Given two vectors x, y in a Hilbert space and a weakly closed -module , we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a compact operator T in satisfying Tx = y.     

On ideals and quotients of A \mathcal{T} -algebras

Some results on A -algebras are given. We study the problem when ideals, quotients and hereditary subalgebras of A -algebras are A -algebras or A -algebras, and give a necessary and sufficient condition of a hereditary subalgebra of an A -algebra being an A -algebra.     

Maximal subclasses of local fitting classes

A Fitting class $ \mathfrak{F} A Fitting class is said to be π-maximal if is an inclusion maximal subclass of the Fitting class of all finite soluble π-groups. We prove that is a π-maximal Fitting class exactly when there is a prime p ∊ π such that the index of the -radical in G is equal to 1 or p for every π-subgroup of G. Hence, there exist maximal subclasses in a local Fitting class. This gives a negative answer to Skiba’s conjecture that there are no maximal Fitting subclasses in a local Fitting class (see [1, Question 13.50]). Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2008 Savelyeva N.

On some types of radical classes

Let be an infinite cardinal. We denote by the collection of all -representable Boolean algebras. Further, let be the collection of all generalized Boolean algebras B such that for each b ∈ B, the interval [0, b] of B belongs to . In this paper we prove that is a radical class of generalized Boolean algebras. Further, we investigate some related questions concerning lattice ordered groups and generalized MV-algebras.

Projectively condensed semigroups,generalized completely regular semigroups and projective orthomonoids

The class of projectively condensed semigroups is a quasivariety of unary semigroups, the class of projective orthomonoids is a subquasivariety of . Some well-known classes of generalized completely regular semigroups will be regarded as subquasivarieties of . We give the structure semilattice composition and the standard representation of projective orthomonoids, and then obtain the structure theorems of various generalized orthogroups.

Extremal stochastic integrals: a parallel between max-stable processes and α-stable processes

We construct extremal stochastic integrals of a deterministic function with respect to a random Fréchet () sup-measure. The measure is sup-additive rather than additive and is defined over a general measure space , where is a deterministic control measure. The extremal integral is constructed in a way similar to the usual stable integral, but with the maxima replacing the operation of summation. It is well-defined for arbitrary , and the metric metrizes the convergence in probability of the resulting integrals.This approach complements the well-known de Haan's spectral representation of max-stable processes with Fréchet marginals. De Haan's representation can be viewed as the max-stable analog of the LePage series representation of stable processes, whereas the extremal integrals correspond to the usual stable stochastic integrals. We prove that essentially any strictly stable process belongs to the domain of max-stable attraction of an Fréchet, max-stable process. Moreover, we express the corresponding Fréchet processes in terms of extremal stochastic integrals, involving the kernel function of the stable process. The close correspondence between the max-stable and stable frameworks yields new examples of max-stable processes with non-trivial dependence structures.This research was partially supported by a fellowship of the Horace H.

On Approximate Efficiency in Multiobjective Programming

This paper is focused on approximate ( -efficient) solutions of multiobjective mathematical programs. We introduce a new -efficiency concept which extends and unifies different notions of approximate solution defined in the literature. We characterize these -efficient solutions in convex multiobjective programs through approximate solutions of linear scalarizations, which allow us to obtain parametric representations of different -efficiency sets. Several classical -efficiency notions are considered in order to show the concepts introduced and the results obtained.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (Spain), project BFM2003-02194.     

On the size of the Jacobians of curves over finite fields

Abdract  Given a smooth curve of genus g ≥ 1 which admits a smooth projective embedding of dimension m over the ground field of q elements, we obtain the asymptotic formula q ^g+o(g) for the size of set of the -rational points on its Jacobian in the case when m and q are bounded and g → ∞. We also obtain a similar result for curves of bounded gonality. For example, this applies to the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve of genus g → ∞.      

On the expansion of the resolvent for elliptic boundary contact problems

Let A be an elliptic operator on a compact manifold with boundary , and let be a covering map, where Y is a closed manifold. Let A _C be a realization of A subject to a coupling condition C that is elliptic with parameter in the sector Λ. By a coupling condition we mean a nonlocal boundary condition that respects the covering structure of the boundary. We prove that the resolvent trace for N sufficiently large has a complete asymptotic expansion as . In particular, the heat trace has a complete asymptotic expansion as , and the -function has a meromorphic extension to .

Generalized Continuous Posets and a New Cartesian Closed Category

With every subset selection for posets, there is associated a certain ideal completion . As shown by Erné, such completions help to extend classical results on domains and similar structures in the absence of the required joins. Some results about –predistributive or –precontinuous posets and –continuous functions are summarized and supplemented. In particular, several central results on function spaces in domain theory are extended to the setting of productive closed subset selections. The category FSBP, in which objects are finitely separated and upper bounded posets and arrows are continuous functions between them, is shown to be cartesian closed.

On the Intertwining of \partial{\mathcal{D}}-Isometries

Let be a strictly pseudoconvex bounded domain in with C ² boundary . If a subnormal m-tuple T of Hilbert space operators has the spectral measure of its minimal normal extension N supported on , then T is referred to as a -isometry. Using some non-trivial approximation theorems in the theory of several complex variables, we establish a commutant lifting theorem for those -isometries whose (joint) Taylor spectra are contained in a special superdomain Ω of . Further, we provide a function-theoretic characterization of those subnormal tuples whose Taylor spectra are contained in Ω and that are quasisimilar to a certain (fixed) -isometry T (of which the multiplication tuple on the Hardy space of the unit ball in is a rather special example).

On left C-U-liberal semigroups

In this paper the equivalence on a semigroup S in terms of a set U of idempotents in S is defined. A semigroup S is called a U-liberal semigroup with U as the set of projections and denoted by S(U) if every -class in it contains an element in U. A class of U-liberal semigroups is characterized and some special cases are considered.     

The Resolvent Problem and $${{H^{\infty}}}$$ -calculus of the Stokes Operator in Unbounded Cylinders with Several Exits to Infinity

It is proved that the Stokes operator in L^q -space on an infinite cylindrical domain of , , with several exits to infinity generates a bounded and exponentially decaying analytic semigroup and admits a bounded -calculus. For the resolvent estimates, the Stokes resolvent system with a prescribed divergence in an infinite straight cylinder with bounded cross-section is studied in L ^q where and is an arbitrary Muckenhoupt weight. The proofs use cut-off techniques and the theory of Schauder decomposition of UMD spaces based on -boundedness of operator families and on square function estimates involving Muckenhoupt weights.     

Two-parameter p, q-variation Paths and Integrations of Local Times

In this paper, we prove two main results. The first one is to give a new condition for the existence of two-parameter -variation path integrals. Our condition of locally bounded -variation is more natural and easy to verify than those of Young. This result can be easily generalized to multi-parameter case. The second result is to define the integral of local time pathwise and then give generalized It’s formula when is only of bounded -variation in . In the case that is of locally bounded variation in , the integral is the Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral and was used by Elworthy, Truman and Zhao. When is of only locally -variation, where , , and , the integral is a two-parameter Young integral of -variation rather than a Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral. In the special case that is independent of , we give a new condition for Meyer's formula and is defined pathwise as a Young integral. For this we prove the local time is of -variation in for each , for each almost surely (-variation in the sense of Lyons and Young, i.e. ).     

A Korovkin type approximation theorems via $$\mathcal{I}$$ -convergence

Using the concept of -convergence we provide a Korovkin type approximation theorem by means of positive linear operators defined on an appropriate weighted space given with any interval of the real line. We also study rates of convergence by means of the modulus of continuity and the elements of the Lipschitz class.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>-group and approximate similarity invariants of strongly irreducible operators

Let H olenote a complex separable Hilbert space and L(H) denote the collection of bounded linear operators on H. An operator T ∈ L(H) is said to be strongly irreducible if T does not commute with any nontrivial idempotent. Herrero and Jiang showed that the norm-closure of the class of all strongly irreducible operators is the class of all operators with connected spectrum. This result can be considered as an approximate inverse of the Riesz decomposition theorem. In the paper, we give a more precise charact...
