Let , be ultradistributions in and let and where is a sequence in which converges to the Dirac-delta function . Then the neutrix product is defined on the space of ultradistributions as the neutrix limit of the sequence provided the limit exist in the sense that

On the Best Ranges for A p + and RH r +

In this paper we study the relationship between one-sided reverse Holder classes and the classes. We find the best possible range of to which an weight belongs, in terms of the constant. Conversely, we also find the best range of to which a weight belongs, in terms of the constant. Similar problems for , and are solved using factorization.     

On the Continuity of the Generalized Nemytskii Operator on Spaces of Differentiable Functions

We obtain sufficient conditions for the continuity of the general nonlinear superposition operator (generalized Nemytskii operator) acting from the space of differentiable functions on a bounded domain to the Lebesgue space . The values of operators on a function are locally determined by the values of both the function itself and all of its partial derivatives up to order inclusive. In certain particular cases, the sufficient conditions obtained are proved to be necessary as well. The results are illustrated by several examples, and an application to the theory of Sobolev spaces is also given.     

On posets with isomorphic interval posets

Let be a partially ordered set, Int the system of all (nonempty) intervals of partially ordered by the set-theoretical inclusion . We are interested in partially ordered sets with Int isomorphic to Int . We are going to show that they correspond to couples of binary relations on A satisfying some conditions. If is a directed partially ordered set, the only with Int isomorphic to Int are corresponding to direct decompositions of ( denotes the dual of . The present results include those presented in the paper [11] by V. Slavík. Systems of intervals, particularly of lattices, have been investigated by many authors, cf. [1]–[11].

Basic subgroups in abelian group rings

Suppose is a commutative ring with identity of prime characteristic and is an arbitrary abelian -group. In the present paper, a basic subgroup and a lower basic subgroup of the -component and of the factor-group of the unit group in the modular group algebra are established, in the case when is weakly perfect. Moreover, a lower basic subgroup and a basic subgroup of the normed -component and of the quotient group are given when is perfect and is arbitrary whose is -divisible. These results extend and generalize a result due to Nachev (1996) published in Houston J. Math., when the ring is perfect and is -primary. Some other applications in this direction are also obtained for the direct factor problem and for a kind of an arbitrary basic subgroup.

A transit function R on a set V is a function satisfying the axioms and , for all . The all-paths transit function of a connected graph is characterized by transit axioms.     

Almost periodic compactifications of group extensions

Let and be groups and let be an extension of by . Given a property of group compactifications, one can ask whether there exist compactifications and of N and K such that the universal -compactification of G is canonically isomorphic to an extension of by . We prove a theorem which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for this to occur for general properties and then apply this result to the almost periodic and weakly almost periodic compactifications of G.     

Domination in generalized Petersen graphs

Generalized Petersen graphs are certain graphs consisting of one quadratic factor. For these graphs some numerical invariants concerning the domination are studied, namely the domatic number , the total domatic number and the -ply domatic number for and . Some exact values and some inequalities are stated.     

A Canonical Directly Infinite Ring

Let be the set of nonnegative integers and the ring of integers. Let be the ring of N × N matrices over generated by the following two matrices: one obtained from the identity matrix by shifting the ones one position to the right and the other one position down. This ring plays an important role in the study of directly finite rings. Calculation of invertible and idempotent elements of yields that the subrings generated by them coincide. This subring is the sum of the ideal consisting of all matrices in with only a finite number of nonzero entries and the subring of generated by the identity matrix. Regular elements are also described. We characterize all ideals of , show that all ideals are finitely generated and that not all ideals of are principal. Some general ring theoretic properties of are also established.     

Convex Chains in a Pseudo MV-Algebra

For a pseudo MV-algebra we denote by the underlying lattice of . In the present paper we investigate the algebraic properties of maximal convex chains in containing the element 0. We generalize a result of Dvureenskij and Pulmannová.     

On the Irreducibility of Commuting Varieties Associated with Involutions of Simple Lie Algebras

Let be a reductive Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and an arbitrary -grading. We consider the variety , which is called the commuting variety associated with the -grading. Earlier it was proved by the author that is irreducible, if the -grading is of maximal rank. Now we show that is irreducible for and (E₆,F₄). In the case of symmetric pairs of rank one, we show that the number of irreducible components of is equal to that of nonzero non--regular nilpotent G ₀-orbits in . We also discuss a general problem of the irreducibility of commuting varieties.     

Annihilators in Normal Autometrized Algebras

The concepts of an annihilator and a relative annihilator in an autometrized l-algebra are introduced. It is shown that every relative annihilator in a normal autometrized l-algebra is an ideal of and every principal ideal of is an annihilator of . The set of all annihilators of forms a complete lattice. The concept of an I-polar is introduced for every ideal I of . The set of all I-polars is a complete lattice which becomes a two-element chain provided I is prime. The I-polars are characterized as pseudocomplements in the lattice of all ideals of containing I.

In this note we show that B-scrolls over null curves in a 3-dimensional Lorentzian space form are characterized as the only ruled surfaces with null rulings whose Gauss maps G satisfy the condition being a parallel endomorphism of .     

A Completion of \mathbb{Z} is a Field

We define various ring sequential convergences on and . We describe their properties and properties of their convergence completions. In particular, we define a convergence on by means of a nonprincipal ultrafilter on the positive prime numbers such that the underlying set of the completion is the ultraproduct of the prime finite fields Further, we show that is sequentially precompact but fails to be strongly sequentially precompact; this solves a problem posed by D. Dikranjan.

Pointwise convergence fails to be strict

It is known that the ring of all Baire functions carrying the pointwise convergence yields a sequential completion of the ring of all continuous functions. We investigate various sequential convergences related to the pointwise convergence and the process of completion of . In particular, we prove that the pointwise convergence fails to be strict and prove the existence of the categorical ring completion of which differs from .     

Incidence Structures of Type (p, n)

Every incidence structure (understood as a triple of sets (G, M, I), I G×M) admits for every positive integer p an incidence structure where G ^p (M ^p) consists of all independent p-element subsets in G (M) and I ^p is determined by some bijections. In the paper such incidence structures are investigated the 's of which have their incidence graphs of the simple join form. Some concrete illustrations are included with small sets G and M.     

Uniform Convergence of Trigonometric Series with Rarely Changing Coefficients

We consider the series and whose coefficients satisfy the condition for , where the sequence can be expressed as the union of a finite number of lacunary sequences. The following results are obtained. If as , then the series is uniformly convergent. If for all , then the sequence of partial sums of this series is uniformly bounded. If the series is convergent for and as , then this series is uniformly convergent. If the sequence of partial sums of the series for is bounded and for all , then the sequence of partial sums of this series is uniformly bounded. In these assertions, conditions on the rates of decrease of the coefficients of the series are also necessary if the sequence is lacunary. In the general case, they are not necessary.
