On intervals and isometries of MV-algebras

Let Int be the lattice of all intervals of an MV-algebra . In the present paper we investigate the relations between direct product decompositions of and (i) the lattice Int , or (ii) 2-periodic isometries on , respectively.     

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.     

On vectorial inner product spaces

Let E be a real linear space. A vectorial inner product is a mapping from E×E into a real ordered vector space Y with the properties of a usual inner product. Here we consider Y to be a -regular Yosida space, that is a Dedekind complete Yosida space such that , where is the set of all hypermaximal bands in Y. In Theorem 2.1.1 we assert that any -regular Yosida space is Riesz isomorphic to the space B(A) of all bounded real-valued mappings on a certain set A. Next we prove Bessel Inequality and Parseval Identity for a vectorial inner product with range in the -regular and norm complete Yosida algebra .     

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].     

Light paths with an odd number of vertices in polyhedral maps

Let P _k be a path on k vertices. In an earlier paper we have proved that each polyhedral map G on any compact 2-manifold with Euler characteristic contains a path P _k such that each vertex of this path has, in G, degree . Moreover, this bound is attained for k = 1 or k 2, k even. In this paper we prove that for each odd , this bound is the best possible on infinitely many compact 2-manifolds, but on infinitely many other compact 2-manifolds the upper bound can be lowered to .

Continuity of Stochastic Convolutions

Let B be a Brownian motion, and let be the space of all continuous periodic functions f with period 1. It is shown that the set of all f such that the stochastic convolution does not have a modification with bounded trajectories, and consequently does not have a continuous modification, is of the second Baire category.     

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.     

Commutants and derivation ranges

In this paper we obtain some results concerning the set , where is the closure in the norm topology of the range of the inner derivation _A defined by _A (X) = AX – XA. Here stands for a Hilbert space and we prove that every compact operator in is quasinilpotent if A is dominant, where is the closure of the range of _A in the weak topology.     

Uniform Convergence of the Generalized Bieberbach Polynomials in Regions with Zero Angles

Let C be the extended complex plane; G C a finite Jordan with 0 G; w= (z) the conformal mapping of G onto the disk normalized by . Let us set , and let be the generalized Bieberbach polynomial of degree n for the pair (G,0), which minimizes the integral in the class of all polynomials of degree not exceeding n with . In this paper we study the uniform convergence of the generalized Bieberbach polynomials with interior and exterior zero angles and determine its dependence on the properties of boundary arcs and the degree of their tangency.     

Strictly Cyclic Algebra of Operators Acting on Banach Spaces H p(β)

Let be a sequence of positive numbers and 1 p< . We consider the space H ^p() of all power series such that . We investigate strict cyclicity of the weakly closed algebra generated by the operator of multiplication by zacting on H ^p(), and determine the maximal ideal space, the dual space and the reflexivity of the algebra . We also give a necessary condition for a composition operator to be bounded on H ^p() when is strictly cyclic.     

The monotone convergence theorem for multidimensional abstract Kurzweil vector integrals

We prove two versions of the Monotone Convergence Theorem for the vector integral of Kurzweil, , where R is a compact interval of , and f are functions with values on L(Z,W) and Z respectively, and Z and W are monotone ordered normed spaces. Analogous results can be obtained for the Kurzweil vector integral, , as well as to unbounded intervals R.

On Uniformly Locally Compact Quasi-Uniform Hyperspaces

We characterize those Tychonoff quasi-uniform spaces for which the Hausdorff-Bourbaki quasi-uniformity is uniformly locally compact on the family of nonempty compact subsets of X. We deduce, among other results, that the Hausdorff-Bourbaki quasi-uniformity of the locally finite quasi-uniformity of a Tychonoff space Xis uniformly locally compact on if and only if Xis paracompact and locally compact. We also introduce the notion of a co-uniformly locally compact quasi-uniform space and show that a Hausdorff topological space is -compact if and only if its (lower) semi-continuous quasi-uniformity is co-uniformly locally compact. A characterization of those Hausdorff quasi-uniform spaces for which the Hausdorff-Bourbaki quasi-uniformity is co-uniformly locally compact on is obtained.     

Singular Dirichlet boundary value problems II: Resonance case

Existence results are established for the resonant problem y + _m a y = f(t, y) a.e. on [0, 1] with y satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions. The problem is singular since f is a Carathéodory function, with a > 0 a.e. on [0, 1] and      

Strongly Mixing Sequences of Measure Preserving Transformations

We call a sequence (T _n ) of measure preserving transformations strongly mixing if tends to P(A)P(B) for arbitrary measurable A, B. We investigate whether one can pass to a suitable subsequence such that almost surely for all (or "many") integrable f.     

The third boundary value problem in potential theory for domains with a piecewise smooth boundary

The paper investigates the third boundary value problem for the Laplace equation by the means of the potential theory. The solution is sought in the form of the Newtonian potential (1), (2), where is the unknown signed measure on the boundary. The boundary condition (4) is weakly characterized by a signed measure the corresponding operator on the space of signed measures on the boundary of the investigated domain G. If there is 0 such that the essential spectral radius of is smaller than || (for example, if G R ³ is a domain with a piecewise smooth boundary and the restriction of the Newtonian potential on G is a finite continuous functions) then the third problem is uniquely solvable in the form of a single layer potential (1) with the only exception which occurs if we study the Neumann problem for a bounded domain. In this case the problem is solvable for the boundary condition for which (G) = 0.
