Modules satisfying the weak Nakayama property

Let R$R$ be a commutative ring with identity. We will say that an R$R$-module M$M$ satisfies the weak Nakayama property, if IM=M$IM=M$, where I$I$ is an ideal of R$R$, implies that for any x∈M$x\in M$ there exists a∈I$a\in I$ such that (a−1)x=0$(a-1)x=0$. In this paper, we will study modules satisfying the weak Nakayama property. It is proved that if R$R$ is a local ring, then R$R$ is a Max ring if and only if J(R)$J\left(R\right)$, the Jacobson radical of R$R$, is T$T$-nilpotent if and only if every R$R$-module satisfies the weak Nakayama property.     

[1, 2]-sets in graphs

A subset S⊆V$S\subseteq V$ in a graph G=(V,E)$G=(V,E)$ is a [j,k]$[j,k]$-set if, for every vertex v∈V?S$v\in V?S$, j≤|N(v)∩S|≤k$j\le |N\left(v\right)\cap S|\le k$ for non-negative integers j$j$ and k$k$, that is, every vertex v∈V?S$v\in V?S$ is adjacent to at least j$j$ but not more than k$k$ vertices in S$S$. In this paper, we focus on small j$j$ and k$k$, and relate the concept of [j,k]$[j,k]$-sets to a host of other concepts in domination theory, including perfect domination, efficient domination, nearly perfect sets, 2-packings, and k$k$-dependent sets. We also determine bounds on the cardinality of minimum [1, 2]-sets, and investigate extremal graphs achieving these bounds. This study has implications for restrained domination as well. Using a result for [1, 3]-sets, we show that, for any grid graph G$G$, the restrained domination number is equal to the domination number of G$G$.     

Asymptotic average shadowing property on compact metric spaces

We prove that if for a continuous map f$f$ on a compact metric space X$X$, the chain recurrent set, R(f)$R\left(f\right)$ has more than one chain component, then f$f$ does not satisfy the asymptotic average shadowing property. We also show that if a continuous map f$f$ on a compact metric space X$X$ has the asymptotic average shadowing property and if A$A$ is an attractor for f$f$, then A$A$ is the single attractor for f$f$ and we have A=R(f)$A=R\left(f\right)$. We also study diffeomorphisms with asymptotic average shadowing property and prove that if M$M$ is a compact manifold which is not finite with dimM=2$dimM=2$, then the C¹$C^1$ interior of the set of all C¹$C^1$ diffeomorphisms with the asymptotic average shadowing property is characterized by the set of Ω$\Omega$-stable diffeomorphisms.
