On the Existence of Relative Injective Covers

Let be a hereditary torsion theory for the category -mod of unital left -modules over an associative ring with an identity element. The purpose of this note is to prove that if the associated Gabriel filter consists of finitely presented left ideals, then every module has a -injective cover and if contains a cofinal subset of finitely presented left ideals, then every module has a -torsionfree -injective cover. The methods used working with pure submodules contained in ``large" submodules also allow to unify the proofs of some previously known results.     

Distribution Modulo 1 of Some Oscillating Sequences. III

For some oscillating functions, such as , we consider the distribution properties modulo 1 (density, uniform distribution) of the sequence , . We obtain positive and negative results covering the case when the factor is replaced by an arbitrary function of at most polynomial growth belonging to any Hardy field. (The latter condition may be viewed as a regularity growth condition on .) Similar results are obtained for the subsequence , taken over the primes

Such rings are called {\it adjoint Clifford rings.\/} Structure theory for such rings is developed and examples are given to illustrate and delimit the theory.

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 .     

Marcinkiewicz-\theta-Summability of Fourier Transforms

A general summability method of two-dimensional Fourier transforms is given with the help of an integrable function . Under some conditions on we show that the maximal operator of the Marcinkiewicz- -means of a tempered distribution is bounded from to for all and, consequently, is of weak type , where depends only on . As a consequence we obtain a generalization for Fourier transforms of a summability result due to Marcinkievicz and Zhizhiashvili, more exactly, the Marcinkiewicz- -means of a function converge a.e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the Marcinkiewicz- -means are uniformly bounded on the spaces and so they converge in norm . Some special cases of the Marcinkievicz- -summation are considered, such as the Weierstrass, Picar, Bessel, Fejér, de la Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski and Riesz summations.

Application of Upper Hemi-Continuous Operators on Generalized Bi-quasi-variational Inequalities in Locally Convex Topological Vector Spaces

Let and be Hausdorff topological vector spaces over the field , let be a bilinear functional, and let be a non-empty subset of . Given a set-valued map and two set-valued maps , the generalized bi-quasi-variational inequality (GBQVI) problem is to find a point and a point such that and for all and for all or to find a point a point and a point such that and for all . The generalized bi-quasi-variational inequality was introduced first by Shih and Tan [8] in 1989. In this paper we shall obtain some existence theorems of generalized bi-quasi-variational inequalities as application of upper hemi-continuous operators [4] in locally convex topological vector spaces on compact sets.

AN ANALOGUE OF A THEOREM OF FERENC LUKÁCS FOR DOUBLE WALSH—FOURIER SERIES

A theorem of Ferenc Lukács states that if a periodic function is integrable in Lebesgue"s sense and has a discontinuity of first kind at some point , then the th partial sum of the conjugate series to its trigonometric Fourier series at divided by converges to as . An analogue of this theorem for Walsh–Fourier series was proved by Rafat Riad. The main aim of the present paper is to extend the latter result from single to double Wals–Fourier series. We consider also functions of two variables which are of bounded variation over a rectangle in the sense of Hardy and Krause. Among others, we present a proof of the existence of the so-called sector limits of such functions at each point.

On the Operation sup for Subcategories of mer

We study properties of the operation , defined for structures corresponding to different subcategories of MER, as merotopies, filter merotopies, contiguities, -contiguities and closures. In particular, we examine commutativity of and the operation according to which a structure induces a structure of another type (as e.g.\ a merotopy induces a closure) and the inverse operations of the former.

A Constructive Proof of the Generalized Gelfand Isomorphism

Using an analog of the classical Frobenius recursion, we define the notion of a Frobenius -homomorphism. For , this is an ordinary ring homomorphism. We give a constructive proof of the following theorem. Let X be a compact Hausdorff space, the th symmetric power of X, and the algebra of continuous complex-valued functions on X with the sup-norm; then the evaluation map defined by the formula identifies the space with the space of all Frobenius -homomorphisms of the algebra into with the weak topology.     

Trajectory and Global Attractors of Three-Dimensional Navier--Stokes Systems

We construct the trajectory attractor of a three-dimensional Navier--Stokes system with exciting force . The set consists of a class of solutions to this system which are bounded in , defined on the positive semi-infinite interval of the time axis, and can be extended to the entire time axis so that they still remain bounded-in- solutions of the Navier--Stokes system. In this case any family of bounded-in- solutions of this system comes arbitrary close to the trajectory attractor . We prove that the solutions are continuous in t if they are treated in the space of functions ranging in . The restriction of the trajectory attractor to , , is called the global attractor of the Navier--Stokes system. We prove that the global attractor thus defined possesses properties typical of well-known global attractors of evolution equations. We also prove that as the trajectory attractors and the global attractors of the -order Galerkin approximations of the Navier--Stokes system converge to the trajectory and global attractors and , respectively. Similar problems are studied for the cases of an exciting force of the form depending on time and of an external force rapidly oscillating with respect to the spatial variables or with respect to time .
