nvolutorial Płonka sums

The construction of the sum of a direct (semilattice ordered) system of algebras introduced by J. Plonka – later known as the Plonka sum – is one of the most important methods of composition in universal algebra, having a number of applications in different algebraic theories, such as semigroup theory, semiring theory, etc. In this paper we present a more general way for constructing algebras with involution, that is, algebraic systems equipped with a unary involutorial operation which is at the same time an antiautomorphism of the underlying algebra. It is the sum – involutorial Plonka sum, as we call it – of an involution semilattice ordered system of algebras. We investigate its basic properties, as well as the problem of its subdirect decomposition.     

Generalizations of Perfect, Semiperfect, and Semiregular Rings

For a ring R and a right R-module M, a submodule N of M is said to be -small in M if, whenever N + X = M with M/X singular, we have X = M. If there exists an epimorphism p: P M such that P is projective and Ker(p) is -small in P, then we say that P is a projective -cover of M. A ring R is called -perfect (resp., -semiperfect, -semiregular) if every R-module (resp., simple R-module, cyclically presented R-module) has a projective -cover. The class of all -perfect (resp., -semiperfect, -semiregular) rings contains properly the class of all right perfect (resp., semiperfect, semiregular) rings. This paper is devoted to various properties and characterizations of -perfect, -semiperfect, and -semiregular rings. We define (R) by (R)/Soc(R_R) = Jac(R/Soc(R_R)) and show, among others, the following results:

A Note on π-Engel Conditions

In this paper we show that the weakly -Engel conditions are closely related to the existance of normal -complements; while the -Engel conditions are closely related to the -nilpotent groups.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 20D20     

(φ,ξ,η,λ)‐Structures of Parabolic Type

We consider (,,,)structures of parabolic type on hypersurfaces of dual spaces and study the rank of the affinor . We consider almost contact metric structures of parabolic type of the first kind on hypersurfaces of 4dimensional dual metric space. We study the properties of these structures and give examples of normal, integrable, and Sasakian parabolic structures.

Let be a variety of groups defined by the set of laws V. In this paper we study the concept of -isologism of groups in terms of -extensions and their connections with the Baer-invariant of groups are also discussed.AMS Subject Classification (2000): primary 20F14, 20F19, secondary 20E10     

On the Operator Semirings of a Γ-Semiring

In this paper we introduce the notion of operator semirings of a -semiring to study -semirings. It is shown that the lattices of all left (right) ideals (two-sided ideals) of a -semiring and its right (respectively left) operator semiring are isomorphic. This has many applications to characterize various -semirings.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 16Y60, 16Y99     

Controllability and extremality in nonconvex differential inclusions

LetF:[0, T]×R ⁿ 2 ^{R n} be a set-valued map with compact values; let :R ⁿ R ^m be a locally Lipschitzian map,z(t) a given trajectory, andR the reachable set atT of the differential inclusion . We prove sufficient conditions for (z(T))intR and establish necessary conditions in maximum principle form for (z(T))(R). As a consequence of these results, we show that every boundary trajectory is simultaneously a Pontryagin extremal, Lagrangian extremal, and relaxed Lagrangian extremal.The author is grateful to an anonymous referee for his valuable remarks and comments which have helped to improve the paper.The paper was written while the author was visiting the laboratory of Prof. S. Suzuki, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sophia University, Tokyo, Japan.     

Topological existence and stability for stackelberg problems

The aim of this paper is to study, in a topological framework, existence and stability for the solutions to a parametrized Stackelberg problem. To this end, approximate solutions are used, more precisely, -solutions and strict -solutions. The results given are of minimal character and the standard types of constraints are considered, that is, constant constraints, constraints defined by a finite number of inequalities, and more generally constraints defined by an arbitrary multifunction.     

Hulls for Various Kinds of α-Completeness in Archimedean Lattice-Ordered Groups

Within Archimedean -groups, and with an infinite cardinal or , we consider X-hulls where X stands for any of the following classes of -groups: -projectable; laterally -complete; boundedly laterally -complete; conditionally -complete; combinations of the preceding, together with divisibility and/or relative uniform completeness. All these hulls exist, and may be obtained by iterated adjunction of the required extra elements, within the essential hull. When the -groups is relatively -complemented one step in the iteration suffices for several crucial properties. We derive from the above a considerable number of equations involving combinations of these hull operators.     

A Special Basis of the Space of Meromorphic Sections on Riemann Surfaces

A special choice of basis for meromorphic sections of line bundles, in which all poles lie at the punctures, allows the decomposition of field operators (which are sections of bundles) into modes analogous to the standard decomposition on the sphere. Many of the calculational techniques used on the sphere can be reproduced for higher genus surfaces in this basis.Using this technique, in this paper, we compute a basis of K (the space of meromorphic sections on a Riemann surface, holomorphic away from two fixed points). This basis consists of the sections which have the expected zero or pole order at the two points.AMS Subject Classification (1991): 14H55     

On the Representation of Approximate Subdifferentials for a Class of Generalized Convex Functions

Given a family of real-valued functions defined in a normed vector space X, we study a class of -convex functions having a simpler representation for the --subdifferential. The case =X^* with X being a Banach space (the Fenchel case) is particularly analysed, and we find that the sublinear lower semicontinuous functions satisfy the simpler representation with respect to X^*. As a side result, we provide various new subdifferential-type charaterizations of positively homogeneous functions among those which are lower semicontinuous and convex. In addition, we also discuss that family related to the the so-called prox-bounded functions. In this more general framework our simpler representation may give rise to a new notion of enlargement of the subdifferential.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 47H05, 46B99, 47H17.This work is based on research material supported in part by CONICYT-Chile through FONDECYT 101-0116 and FONDAP-Matemáticas Aplicadas II.     

Start‐up class models in multiple‐class queues with N‐policy

In this paper, we consider multipleclass queueing systems with Npolicy in which the idle server starts service as soon as the number of customers in the startup class reaches threshold N. We consider the cases of FCFS and nonpreemptive priority. We obtain the Laplace–Stieltjes transform of the waiting times of each class of customers. We also show some results for the general behavior of such systems.

A closed formula for the čebyšev barycentric weights of optimal approximation in H2

The barycentric formula has several advantages over other means of evaluating the polynomial interpolating a function betweenn points in an interval. In particular, it is much more stable for sets of points clustered at the extremities of the interval, as are all the sets guaranteeing a good approximation forn sufficiently large. Also, it requires onlyO(n) operations for every function to be interpolated, once some weights, which depend only on the points, have been computed. Computing those weights usually requiresO(n²) operations; for ebyev points, however,O(n) operations suffice. We show here that all the above is also true for the optimal evaluation of functionals in H² by giving a closed formula for the corresponding weights.

On the Algebraic Structure of Quasi-cyclic Codes II: Chain Rings

The ring decomposition technique of part I is extended to the case when the factors in the direct product decomposition are no longer fields but arbitrary chain rings. This includes not only the case of quasi-cyclic codes over rings but also the case of quasi-cyclic codes over fields whose co-index is no longer prime to the characteristic of the field. A new quaternary construction of the Leech lattice is derived.
