On a pythagorean-type functional equation with exponent 3 involving finite fields

We solve the functional equationf(x ³ +y ³) =f(x)³ +f(y)³ for maps of a finite field into itself.     

On the stability of the quadratic functional equation on bounded domains

A result of Skof and Terracini will be generalized; More precisely, we will prove that if a functionf : [-t, t]ⁿ →E satisfies the inequality (1) for some δ > 0 and for allx, y ∈ [-t, t]ⁿ withx + y, x - y ∈ [-t, t]ⁿ, then there exists a quadratic functionq: ℝⁿ →E such that ∥f(x) -q(x)∥ < (2912n² + 1872n + 334)δ for anyx ∈ [-t, t] ⁿ .     

Stability of homogeneity almost everywhere

We consider approximately ϕ-homogeneous mappings almost everywhere, that is functions F such that the difference F(αx) − ϕ(α)F(x) is in some sense bounded almost everywhere in a product space. We will prove, under some assumptions, that then either we have some kind of boundedness of ϕ and F, or there exist a homomorphism and a -homogeneous function , which are almost everywhere equal to ϕ and F, respectively. From this result we derive the superstability effect for the multiplicativity almost everywhere.      

Stability of the Quadratic Equation of Pexider Type

We will investigate the stability problem of the quadratic equation (1) and extend the results of Borelli and Forti, Czerwik, and Rassias. By applying this result and an improved theorem of the author, we will also prove the stability of the quadratic functional equation of Pexider type,f ₁ (x +y) + f₂(x -y) =f ₃(x) +f ₄(y), for a large class of functions.

A note on generalized connectedness

This note is devoted to study the preservation of connectedness under the basic operators in generalized topological spaces. Some characterizations of generalized connectedness are given. As an application, we generalize some results in topological spaces. Supported in part by the NSFC (No. 10571151, 10671173).     

Stability estimates in time-backwards problem for the rod equation

In this paper we consider the equationu _tt +u _xxxx =0 for a vibrating rod supported at its end-points. We study the problem of determining the shape of the rod,u(·,0), knowingu(·,T). We see that the solution is unique ifT belongs to a certain dense subsetS of (0,+∞). IfT belongs toS, u(·,0) does not depend continuously onu(·,T). In this case, with the assumption of a bounded initial energy of the rod, we get stability estimates foru(·,0).     

The Gellerstedt problem for a parabolic-hyperbolic equation of the second kind

In this paper we consider the Gellerstedt problem for a parabolic-hyperbolic equation of the second kind. We prove the unique solvability of this problem by means of a new representation for a solution to the modified Cauchy problem in a generalized class R.     

Solution of fifth-degree equations

In this paper we establish a relationship between two approaches to the solution of algebraic fifth-degree equations, namely, the Hermite-Kronecker method (based on the modular elliptic equation) and the Mellin method (based on hypergeometric series).

Regularization of a three-element functional equation

In this paper we study the three-element functional equation

$(V\Phi )(z) \equiv \Phi (iz) + \Phi ( - iz) + G(z)\Phi \left( {\frac{1}{z}} \right) = g(z), z \in R,$

, subject to

$R: = \{ z:\left| z \right| < 1, \left| {\arg z} \right| < \frac{\pi }{4}\} .$

We assume that the coefficients G(z) and g(z) are holomorphic in R and their boundary values G ⁺(t) and g ⁺(t) belong to H(Γ), G(t)G(t ^?1) = 1. We seek for solutions Φ(z) in the class of functions holomorphic outside of \(\bar R\) such that they vanish at infinity and their boundary values Φ^?(t) also belong to H(Γ). Using the method of equivalent regularization, we reduce the problem to the 2nd kind integral Fredholm equation.

     

The operad of finite labeled tournaments

We study the operad of finite labeled tournaments. We describe the structure of suboperads of this operad generated by simple tournaments. We prove that a suboperad generated by a tournament with two vertices (i.e., the operad of finite linearly ordered sets) is isomorphic to the operad of symmetric groups, and a suboperad generated by a simple tournament with more that two vertices is isomorphic to the quotient operad of the free operad with respect to a certain congruence. We obtain this congruence explicitly.     

Collapsing monoids consisting of permutations and constants

In this paper we determine all collapsing transformation monoids that contain at least one unary constant operation and whose nonconstant operations are permutations. Furthermore, we find an infinite family of transformation monoids that consist of at least three unary constant operations and some permutations for which the corresponding monoidal intervals are 2-element chains. This research is supported by Hungarian National Foundation for Scientific Research grant nos. T 37877 and K 60148.     

Kirchberger-type theorems for separation by convex domains

We say that a convex set K in ? ^d strictly separates the set A from the set B if A ? int(K) and B ? cl K = ø. The well-known Theorem of Kirchberger states the following. If A and B are finite sets in ? ^d with the property that for every T ? A?B of cardinality at most d + 2, there is a half space strictly separating T ? A and T ? B, then there is a half space strictly separating A and B. In short, we say that the strict separation number of the family of half spaces in ? ^d is d + 2.In this note we investigate the problem of strict separation of two finite sets by the family of positive homothetic (resp., similar) copies of a closed, convex set. We prove Kirchberger-type theorems for the family of positive homothets of planar convex sets and for the family of homothets of certain polyhedral sets. Moreover, we provide examples that show that, for certain convex sets, the family of positive homothets (resp., the family of similar copies) has a large strict separation number, in some cases, infinity. Finally, we examine how our results translate to the setting of non-strict separation.     

A fixed point result in Menger spaces using a real function

The main result of this paper is a fixed point theorem of self-mappings in Menger spaces which satisfy certain inequality. This inequality involves a class of real functions which we call Φ-functions. As a corollary we obtain a result in the corresponding metric spaces. The result is supported by an example. The class of real functions we have used is the conceptual extension of altering distance functions used in metric fixed point theory.      

The Cauchy problem in Sobolev spaces for Dirac operators

In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem as a typical example of ill-posed boundary-value problems. We obtain the necessary and (separately) sufficient conditions for the solvability of the Cauchy problem for a Dirac operator A in Sobolev spaces in a bounded domain D ? ? ⁿ with a piecewise smooth boundary. Namely, we reduce the Cauchy problem for the Dirac operator to the problem of harmonic extension from a smaller domain to a larger one. Moreover, along with the solvability conditions for the problem, using bases with double orthogonality, we construct a Carleman formula for recovering a function u in a Sobolev space H ^s (D), s ∈ ?, from its values on Γ and values Au in D, where Γ is an open connected subset of the boundary ?D. It is worth pointing out that we impose no assumptions about geometric properties of the domain D, except for its connectedness.
