F-Continuous Graphs

For a nontrivial connected graph F, the F-degree of a vertex in a graph G is the number of copies of F in G containing . A graph G is F-continuous (or F-degree continuous) if the F-degrees of every two adjacent vertices of G differ by at most 1. All P₃-continuous graphs are determined. It is observed that if G is a nontrivial connected graph that is F-continuous for all nontrivial connected graphs F, then either G is regular or G is a path. In the case of a 2-connected graph F, however, there always exists a regular graph that is not F-continuous. It is also shown that for every graph H and every 2-connected graph F, there exists an F-continuous graph G containing H as an induced subgraph.

Results on <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis>-continuous graphs

For any nontrivial connected graph F and any graph G, the F-degree of a vertex v in G is the number of copies of F in G containing v. G is called F-continuous if and only if the F-degrees of any two adjacent vertices in G differ by at most 1; G is F-regular if the F-degrees of all vertices in G are the same. This paper classifies all P ₄-continuous graphs with girth greater than 3. We show that for any nontrivial connected graph F other than the star K _1,k , k ⩾ 1, there exists a regular graph that is not F-continuous. If F is 2-connected, then there exists a regular F-continuous graph that is not F-regular.      

Sufficiency and Duality in Multiobjective Variational Problems with Generalized Type I Functions

Recently Hachimi and Aghezzaf introduced the notion of (F,α,ρ,d)-type I functions, a new class of functions that unifies several concepts of generalized type I functions. Here, we extend the concepts of (F,α,ρ,d)-type I and generalized (F,α,ρ, d)-type I functions to the continuous case and we use these concepts to establish various sufficient optimality conditions and mixed duality results for multiobjective variational problems. Our results apparently generalize a fairly large number of sufficient optimality conditions and duality results previously obtained for multiobjective variational problems.     

Bivariate Markov chain embeddable variables of polynomial type

The primary aim of the present article is to provide a general framework for investigating the joint distribution of run length accumulating/enumerating variables by the aid of a Markov chain embedding technique. To achieve that we introduce first a class of bivariate discrete random variables whose joint distribution can be described by the aid of a Markov chain and develop formulae for their joint probability mass function, generating functions and moments. The results are then exploited for the derivation of the distribution of a bivariate run-related statistic. Finally, some interesting uses of our results in reliability theory and educational psychology are highlighted.

Spherical functions and invariant differential operators on complex Grassmann manifolds

Proofs are given of two theorems of Berezin and Karpelevič, which as far as we know never have been proved correctly. By using eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator it is shown that the spherical functions on a complex Grassmann manifold are given by a determinant of certain hypergeometric functions. By application of this result, it is proved that a certain system of operators, fow which explicit expressions are given, generates the algebra of radial parts of invariant differential operators.

G-pre-invex functions in mathematical programming

In the present paper, we introduce the concept of G-pre-invex functions with respect to η defined on an invex set with respect to η. These function unify the concepts of nondifferentiable convexity, pre-invexity and r-pre-invexity. Furthermore, relationships of G-pre-invex functions to various introduced earlier pre-invexity concepts are also discussed. Some (geometric) properties of this class of functions are also derived. Finally, optimality results are established for optimization problems under appropriate G-pre-invexity conditions.     

An analogue of Montel's theorem for some classes of rational functions

For sequences of rational functions, analytic in some domain, a theorem of Montel's type is proved. As an application, sequences of rational functions of the best L _p -approximation with an unbounded number of finite poles are considered.     

I-convergence theorems for a class of k-positive linear operators

In this paper, we obtain some approximation theorems for k- positive linear operators defined on the space of analytical functions on the unit disc, via I-convergence. Some concluding remarks which includes A-statistical convergence are also given.      

Pointwise and integral estimates for the B-Riesz potential in terms of B-maximal and B-fractional maximal functions

We study the maximal and fractional maximal functions and Riesz potentials that are generated by the generalized shift operator associated with the Laplace-Bessel operator. We obtain some pointwise and integral estimates that give a relation between the B-maximal and B-fractional maximal functions and B-Riesz potentials and extend the available results to the objects of a more general nature. Basing on these results, we prove interpolation theorems for the B-fractional maximal functions and B-Riesz potentials.     

Analytic Feynman integrals of transforms of variation of cylinder type functions over Wiener paths in abstract Wiener space

In this paper, we evaluate various analytic Feynman integrals of first variation, conditional first variation, Fourier-Feynman transform and conditional Fourier-Feynman transform of cylinder type functions defined over Wiener paths in abstract Wiener space. We also derive the analytic Feynman integral of the conditional Fourier-Feynman transform for the product of the cylinder type functions which define the functions in a Banach algebra introduced by Yoo, with n linear factors.     

A unified theory of R-continuity

We introduce and investigate R-M-continuous functions defined between sets satisfying some minimal conditions. The functions enable us to formulate a unified theory of modifications of R-continuity [22]: R-irresoluteness [6], R-preirresoluteness [7].      

No effect and lack-of-fit permutation tests for functional regression

This paper proposes statistical procedures to check if a real-valued covariate X has an effect on a functional response Y(t). A non-parametric kernel regression is considered to estimate the influence of X on Y(t) and two test statistics based on residual sums of squares and smoothing residuals are proposed. Their acceptance levels are determined by means of permutations. The lack-of-fit test for a class of parametric models is then discussed as a consequence of the no effect procedure. Monte Carlo simulations provide an insight into the level and the power of the no effect tests. A study of atmospheric radiation illustrates the behavior of the proposed methods in practice.

F*-Rings Are O*

O ^*-rings were introduced by Fuchs and recently characterized by Steinberg. A ring R is called O ^* if every partial order on R extends to a total order. We weaken the condition on the ordering of the ring by requiring that every partial order on R extends to an f-order. We call those rings F ^*-rings. We show that the two classes of rings coincide.     

Absolutely continuous functions of several variables and diffeomorphisms

In [4], a class of absolutely continuous functions of d-variables, motivated by applications to change of variables in an integral, has been introduced. The main result of this paper states that absolutely continuous functions in the sense of [4] are not stable under diffeomorphisms. We also show an example of a function which is absolutely continuous with respect cubes but not with respect to balls.     

On the apostol-bernoulli polynomials

Reliability formula &; limit law of the failure time of “<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-consecutive-<Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-out-of-<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>:<Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis> system”

An “m-consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system” consists of n components ordered on a line; the system fails if and only if there are at least m nonoverlapping runs of k consecutive failed components. In this paper, we give a recursive formula to compute the reliability of such a system. Thereafter, we state two asymptotic results concerning the failure time Z _n of the system. The first result concerns a limit theorem for Z _n when the failure times of components are not necessarily with identical failure distributions. In the second one, we prove that, for an arbitrary common failure distribution of components, the limit system failure distribution is always of the Poisson class.
