Condensed Cramer rule for some restricted quaternion linear equations

In this paper, we derive an alternative more condensed Cramer rule for the unique solution of some restricted left and right systems of quaternion linear equations. The findings of this paper extend some known results in the literature.     

Full-rank representations of {2, 4}, {2, 3}-inverses and successive matrix squaring algorithm

We present the full-rank representations of {2, 4} and {2, 3}-inverses (with given rank as well as with prescribed range and null space) as particular cases of the full-rank representation of outer inverses. As a consequence, two applications of the successive matrix squaring (SMS) algorithm from [P.S. Stanimirovi?, D.S. Cvetkovi?-Ili?, Successive matrix squaring algorithm for computing outer inverses, Appl. Math. Comput. 203 (2008) 19-29] are defined using the full-rank representations of {2, 4} and {2, 3}-inverses. The first application is used to approximate {2, 4}-inverses. The second application, after appropriate modifications of the SMS iterative procedure, computes {2, 3}-inverses of a given matrix. Presented numerical examples clarify the purpose of the introduced methods.

Some properties for a class of interchange graphs

The Wiener number is the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices of a connected graph. In this paper, we give an explicit algebraic formula for the Wiener number of a class of interchange graphs. Moreover, distance-related properties and cliques of this class of interchange graphs are investigated.     

Monotonicity characteristic of Köthe-Bochner spaces

Estimates of the characteristic of monotonicity in Köthe-Bochner function spaces E(X) with some consequences are given. Characterizations of strict and uniform monotonicity of the sequence lattice are obtained.     

Remarks on the formula for γ-interior

The paper presents a formula for the γ-interior of a set under special conditions for , more general than those in the previous paper [Acta Math. Hungar. 80 (1998) 89-93]. There are also some applications.     

Descriptive properties of families of autohomeomorphisms of the unit interval

Let H⊂C[0,1] stand for the Polish space of all increasing autohomeomorphisms of [0,1]. We show that the family of all strictly singular autohomeomorphisms is -complete. This confirms a suggestion of Graf, Mauldin and Williams. Some related results are also included.     

Compactness of Hankel operators and analytic discs in the boundary of pseudoconvex domains

Using several complex variables techniques, we investigate the interplay between the geometry of the boundary and compactness of Hankel operators. Let β be a function smooth up to the boundary on a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain Ω⊂Cn. We show that, if Ω is convex or the Levi form of the boundary of Ω is of rank at least n−2, then compactness of the Hankel operator Hβ implies that β is holomorphic “along” analytic discs in the boundary. Furthermore, when Ω is convex in C² we show that the condition on β is necessary and sufficient for compactness of Hβ.     

Local “superlinearity” and “sublinearity” for the p-Laplacian

We study the existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a family of problems −Δpu=fλ(x,u), , where Ω is a bounded domain in RN, N>p, and λ>0 is a parameter. The family we consider includes the well-known nonlinearities of Ambrosetti-Brezis-Cerami type in a more general form, namely λa(x)uq+b(x)ur, where 0?q<p−1<r?p^∗−1. Here the coefficient a(x) is assumed to be nonnegative but b(x) is allowed to change sign, even in the critical case. Preliminary results of independent interest include the extension to the p-Laplacian context of the Brezis-Nirenberg result on local minimization in and , a C1,α estimate for equations of the form −Δpu=h(x,u) with h of critical growth, a strong comparison result for the p-Laplacian, and a variational approach to the method of upper-lower solutions for the p-Laplacian.     

Short proofs of summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series

We show that several terminating summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series can be proved in a straightforward way. Along the same line, new finite forms of Jacobi's triple product identity and Watson's quintuple product identity are also proved.     

Derivations as square roots of Dirichlet forms

The aim of this work is to analyze the structure of a tracially symmetric Dirichlet form on a -algebra, in terms of a killing weight and a closable derivation taking values in a Hilbert space with a bimodule structure. It is shown that the generator of the associate Markovian semigroup always appears, in a natural way, as the divergence of a closable derivation. Applications are shown to the decomposition of Dirichlet forms and to the construction of differential calculus on metric spaces.     

The Neumann boundary problem for a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation

We study the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on initial data of the solution to a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation on a bounded domain. The equation generates a gradient flow for a free energy functional with nonlocal interaction. Also we apply a nonlinear Poincaré inequality to show the existence of an absorbing set in each constant mass affine space.     

A note on exact complex travelling wave solutions for (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

The -expansion method can be used for constructing exact travelling wave solutions of real nonlinear evolution equations. In this paper, we improve the -expansion method and explore new application of this method to (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (BKP) equation. New types of exact complex travelling wave solutions of (2+1)-dimensional BKP equation are found. Some exact solutions of (2+1)-dimensional BKP equation obtained before are special cases of our results in this paper.     

Identities between q-hypergeometric and hypergeometric integrals of different dimensions

Given complex numbers m₁,l₁ and nonnegative integers m₂,l₂, such that m₁+m₂=l₁+l₂, for any a,b=0,…,min(m₂,l₂) we define an l₂-dimensional Barnes type q-hypergeometric integral I_a,b(z,μ;m₁,m₂,l₁,l₂) and an l₂-dimensional hypergeometric integral J_a,b(z,μ;m₁,m₂,l₁,l₂). The integrals depend on complex parameters z and μ. We show that I_a,b(z,μ;m₁,m₂,l₁,l₂) equals J_a,b(e^μ,z;l₁,l₂,m₁,m₂) up to an explicit factor, thus establishing an equality of l₂-dimensional q-hypergeometric and m₂-dimensional hypergeometric integrals. The identity is based on the duality for the qKZ and dynamical difference equations.     

Precoloring extension on unit interval graphs

In the precoloring extension problem a graph is given with some of the vertices having preassigned colors and it has to be decided whether this coloring can be extended to a proper k-coloring of the graph. Answering an open question of Hujter and Tuza [Precoloring extension. III. Classes of perfect graphs, Combin. Probab. Comput. 5 (1) (1996) 35-56], we show that the precoloring extension problem is NP-complete on unit interval graphs.     

A note on the hardness of Skolem-type sequences

The purpose of this note is to give upper bounds (assuming different from ) on how far the generalizations of Skolem sequences can be taken while still hoping to resolve the existence question. We prove that the existence questions for both multi-Skolem sequences and generalized Skolem sequences are strongly -complete. These results are significant strengthenings and simplifications of the recent -completeness result for generalized multi-Skolem sequences.     

Generalized Navier-Stokes equations with initial data in local Q-type spaces

In this paper, we establish a link between Leray mollified solutions of the three-dimensional generalized Navier-Stokes equations and mild solutions for initial data in the adherence of the test functions for the norm of . This result applies to the usual incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.
