Some results on quasipolyhedral convexity

The objective of this paper is to analyze under what well-known operations the class of quasipolyhedral convex functions, which can be regarded as an extension of that of polyhedral convex functions, is closed. The operations that will be considered are those that preserve polyhedral convexity, such that the image and the inverse image under linear transformations, right scalar multiplication (including the case where λ=0⁺) and pointwise addition.      

Some results on spanning trees

Some structures of spanning trees with many or less leaves in a connected graph are determined.We show（1） a connected graph G has a spanning tree T with minimum leaves such that T contains a longest path,and（2） a connected graph G on n vertices contains a spanning tree T with the maximum leaves such that Δ（G） =Δ（T） and the number of leaves of T is not greater than n D（G）＋1,where D（G） is the diameter of G.     

Some results on generalized exponents

A digraph G = (V, E) is primitive if, for some positive integer k, there is a u → v walk of length k for every pair u, v of vertices of V. The minimum such k is called the exponent of G, denoted exp(G). The exponent of a vertex u ∈ V, denoted exp(u), is the least integer k such that there is a u → v walk of length k for each v ∈ V. For a set X ⊆ V, exp(X) is the least integer k such that for each v ∈ V there is a X → v walk of length k, i.e., a u → v walk of length k for some u ∈ X. Let F(G, k) : = max{exp(X) : |X| = k} and F(n, k) : = max{F(G, k) : |V| = n}, where |X| and |V| denote the number of vertices in X and V, respectively. Recently, B. Liu and Q. Li proved F(n, k) = (n − k)(n − 1) + 1 for all 1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1. In this article, for each k, 1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1, we characterize the digraphs G such that F(G, k) = F(n, k), thereby answering a question of R. Brualdi and B. Liu. We also find some new upper bounds on the (ordinary) exponent of G in terms of the maximum outdegree of G, Δ⁺(G) = max{d⁺(u) : u ∈ V}, and thus obtain a new refinement of the Wielandt bound (n − 1)² + 1. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Some results on b-AM-compact operators

We show that for positive operator B : E → E on Banach lattices, if there exists a positive operator S : E → E such that:1.SB ≤ BS;2.S is quasinilpotent at some x₀ > 0; 3.S dominates a non-zero b-AM-compact operator, then B has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. Also, we prove that for two commuting non-zero positive operators on Banach lattices, if one of them is quasinilpotent at a non-zero positive vector and the other dominates a non-zero b-AM-compact operator, then both of them have a common non-trivial closed invariant ideal. Then we introduce the class of b-AM-compact-friendly operators and show that a non-zero positive b-AM- compact-friendly operator which is quasinilpotent at some x₀ > 0 has a non-trivial closed invariant ideal.     

Some results on symplectic matrices

The principal results are that if A is an integral matrix such that AA^T is symplectic then A = CQ, where Q is a permutation matrix and C is symplectic; and that if A is a hermitian positive definite matrix which is symplectic, and B is the unique hermitian positive definite pth.root of A, where p is a positive integer, then B is also symplectic.

Some results on sperner families

Let F be a Sperner family of subsets of {1,…,m}. Bollobás showed that if $\text{A ∈ F ?}\text{A}\text{= {1,…,m}βA ∈ F}$, and if the parameters of F are p₀,…,p_m then

$\text{∑}\text{i=0}\text{[}\text{m}\text{2}\text{Pi}\text{m?1}\text{i?1}\text{+}\text{∑}\text{i=[}\text{m}\text{2}\text{]+1}\text{m}\text{Pi}\text{m?1}\text{m?i?1}\text{? 2}$

Here we generalize this result and prove some analogues of it. A corollary of Bollobás' result is that $\text{|F| ? 2(}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>[</mtext><mtext>m</mtext><mtext>2</mtext><mtext>]?1</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{m?1}}\text{)}$. Purdy proved that if $\text{A ∈ F ?}\text{A}\text{? F}$ then $\text{|F| ? (}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>[</mtext><mtext>m</mtext><mtext>2</mtext><mtext>]+1</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{m}}\text{)}$, which implies Bollobás' corollary. We also show that Purdy's result may be deduced from Bollobás' by a short argument. Finally, we give a canonical form for Sperner families which are also pairwise intersecting.     

Some results on fractionaln-factor-critical graphs

A simple graphG is said to be fractionaln-factor-critical if after deleting anyn vertices the remaining subgraph still has a fractional perfect matching. For fractionaln-factor-criticality, in this paper, one necessary and sufficient condition, and three sufficient conditions related to maximum matching, complete closure are given.     

Some results on cosymplectic manifolds

We obtain a generalization of the Kodaira-Morrow stability theorem for cosymplectic structures. We investigate cosymplectic geometry on Lie groups and on their compact quotients by uniform discrete subgroups. In this way we show that a compact solvmanifold admits a cosymplectic structure if and only if it is a finite quotient of a torus.     

Some results on conversion matrices

In this paper we prove a theorem concerning weak lattice constants and hence three matricial equations for conversion matrices.Then we introduce a block-partition for conversion matrices and we write matricial equations for this block-partition; from these matricial equations we propose the calculus of conversion matrices by induction on their order.     

Some results on non-linear recurrence

We study the behavior of measure-preserving systems with continuous time along sequences of the form {n ^α}n∈#x2115;} where α is a positive real number¹. Let {S ^t } _t∈? be an ergodic continuous measure preserving flow on a probability Lebesgue space (X, β, μ). Among other results we show that:

1. For all but countably many α (in particular, for all α∈???) one can find anL ^∞-functionf for which the averagesA _N (f)(1/N)=Σ _n=1 ^N f(S ^nα x) fail to converge almost everywhere (the convergence in norm holds for any α!).
2. For any non-integer and pairwise distinct numbers α₁, α₂,..., α _k ∈(0, 1) and anyL ^∞-functionsf ₁,f ₂, ...,f _k , one has $$\mathop {lim}\limits_{N \to \infty } \left\| {\frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{n - 1}^N {\prod\limits_{i - 1}^k {f_i (S^{n^{\alpha _i } } x) - \prod\limits_{i - 1}^k {\int_X {f_i d\mu } } } } } \right\|_{L^2 } = 0$$

We also show that Furstenberg’s correspondence principle fails for ?-actions by demonstrating that for all but a countably many α>0 there exists a setE?? having densityd(E)=1/2 such that, for alln∈?, $$d(E \cap (E - n^\alpha )) = 0$$ .
