Uniqueness results of meromorphic functions whose derivatives share four small functions

We prove an oscillation theorem of two meromorphic functions whose derivatives share four values IM. From this we obtain some uniqueness theorems, which improve the corresponding results given by Yang [16] and Qiu [10], and supplement results given by Nevanlinna [9] and Gundersen [3, 4]. Some examples are provided to show that the results in this paper are best possible.     

Sperner's theorem on maximal-sized antichains and its generalization

This paper generalizes previous work by Sperner [8], Erdös [2], Kleitman [5], Katona [3], DeBruijn et al. [1], and Schönheim [7]. Such generalization not only leads to simple proofs of known results but also sharpens some of these results.     

Ingham-Beurling type theorems with weakened gap conditions

Completing a series of works begun by Wiener [34], Paley and Wiener [28] and Ingham [9], a far-reaching generalization of Parseval"s identity was obtained by Beurling [4] for nonharmonic Fourier series whose exponents satisfy a uniform gap condition. Later this gap condition was weakened by Ullrich [33], Castro and Zuazua [5], Jaffard, Tucsnak and Zuazua [11] and then in [2] in some particular cases. In this paper we prove a general theorem which contains all previous results. Furthermore, applying a different method, we prove a variant of this theorem for nonharmonic Fourier series with vector coefficients. This result, partly motivated by control-theoretical applications, extends several earlier results obtained in [15] and [2]. Finally, applying these results we obtain an optimal simultaneous observability theorem concerning a system of vibrating strings. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

On General Transport Equations with Abstract Boundary Conditions. The Case of Divergence Free Force Field

This work is a continuation of our previous paper [8]. We investigate well-posedness (in the semigroup theory sense) of transport equations with general external fields and general measures associated to boundary conditions modeled by abstract boundary operators H. Fine properties of the traces are investigated, extending well-known results by M. Cessenat [15]. For dissipative boundary conditions, we revisit and generalize results from [12, 17] while, for multiplicative boundary conditions we extend techniques from [25]. Finally, we also investigate the case of boundary conditions associated to a boundary operator of norm one, extending the recent results of [6, 27] to more general fields and measures.     

The Algebraic Perturbation Method for Generalized Inverses

Algebraic perturbation methods were first proposed for the solution of nonsingular linear systems by R. E. Lynch and T. J. Aird [2]. Since then, the algebraic perturbation methods for generalized inverses have been discussed by many scholars [3]-[6]. In [4], a singular square matrix was perturbed algebraically to obtain a nonsingular matrix, resulting in the algebraic perturbation method for the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse. In [5], some results on the relations between nonsingular perturbations and generalized inverses of $m\times n$ matrices were obtained, which generalized the results in [4]. For the Drazin generalized inverse, the author has derived an algebraic perturbation method in [6]. In this paper, we will discuss the algebraic perturbation method for generalized inverses with prescribed range and null space, which generalizes the results in [5] and [6]. We remark that the algebraic perturbation methods for generalized inverses are quite useful. The applications can be found in [5] and [8]. In this paper, we use the same terms and notations as in [1].     

Remarks on Steinhaus' property and ratio sets of sets of positive integers

This paper is closely related to an earlier paper of the author and W. Narkiewicz (cf. [7]) and to some papers concerning ratio sets of positive integers (cf. [4], [5], [12], [13], [14]). The paper contains some new results completing results of the mentioned papers. Among other things a characterization of the Steinhaus property of sets of positive integers is given here by using the concept of ratio sets of positive integers.     

Étude de certaines équations elliptiques à argument dévié

The elliptic equations with deviated arguments appear in some models of population such as in biology, etc. as indicated in the books [4] and [5] and the works of Levin [3], Skellam [6]. In this paper, we establish some results of existence and uniqueness for some non-local equations called elliptic equations with deviated argument. Firstly, we handle linear and nonlinear cases. Therefore, we hope to complete some results obtained by Chipot and Mardare [2].

Polynomials on Banach lattices and positive tensor products

This paper is the first systematic study of homogeneous polynomials on Banach lattices. A variety of new Banach spaces and Banach lattices of multilinear maps, homogeneous polynomials, and operators are introduced. The main technique is to employ positive tensor products and quotients of positive tensor products. Our theorems generalize the results on orthogonally additive polynomials by Benyamini, Lassalle, and Llavona (2006) in [4], the results by Grecu and Ryan (2005) in [14], and the results by Sundaresan (1991) in [23].     

A refined theorem concerning the conditioning of semidefinite programs

Using a weaker version of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem [6] given by us in [3], we show how to refine the results given in [8] dealing with the analyzing of the effect of small perturbations in problem data on the solution. The new results are obtained under weaker hypotheses and the same computational cost as in [8].     

On sets with Baire property in topological spaces

Steinhaus [9] prove that if a set A has a positive Lebesgue measure in the line then its distance set contains an interval. He obtained even stronger forms of this result in [9], which are concerned with mutual distances between points in an infinite sequence of sets. Similar theorems in the case we replace distance by mutual ratio were established by Bose-Majumdar [1]. In the present paper, we endeavour to obtain some results related to sets with Baire property in locally compact topological spaces, particular cases of which yield the Baire category analogues of the above results of Steinhaus [9] and their corresponding form for ratios by Bose-Majumdar [1].     

Fixed points and stability in linear neutral differential equations with variable delays

In this paper we consider the asymptotic stability of a generalized linear neutral differential equation with variable delays by using the fixed point theory. An asymptotic stability theorem with a necessary and sufficient condition is proved, which improves and generalizes some results due to Burton (2003) [3], Zhang (2005) [14], Raffoul (2004) [13], and Jin and Luo (2008) [12]. Two examples are also given to illustrate our results.     

On some sequential simultaneous confidence intervals procedures

Summary The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (i) to extend the simultaneous confidence intervals procedures (SCIP) of Healy [7] along the lines of Chow and Robbins [3] and (ii) to develop certain robust non-parametric SCIP based on the results of Sen [10] and Sen and Ghosh [11]; the allied efficiency results are also presented.

Global bifurcation of waves

In this note it will be shown how a theorem of Alexander [1] and Ize [9] together with computational results of Alexander and Yorke [4] and Alexander and Fitzpatrick [2] may be used to generalize the existence theorem for, and to prove some global results about, certain wave-like solutions of nonlinear systems of partial differential equations.The equations to be studied are weakly coupled parabolic systems of equations defined on a bounded axisymmetric domain. Such equations are often called reaction-diffusion equations (or interaction-diffusion equations) and arise in many parts of biology and chemistry. The question as to how wave-like solutions of these equations may bifurcate from a family of trivial solutions was studied by Auchmuty [5] and the results will be considerably extended here.     

Rings characterized by injectivity classes

Recently, there are a number of well known theorems which char­acterize rings in terms of injective modules (cf. [2], [3], [5] and [8]). The purpose of this paper is to give general theorems which show that some similar results remain true when many other classes of general injective modules are considered in place of injective modules. Our results encompass several well known results by Huynh and Smith, Liu, and Xue. In particular we answer negatively the question of Yue Chi Ming [11] and an example is given to show that E—injective modules form an intermediate class between continuous and quasi-continuous modules(cf. Example 3).     

A Remark on Independence Results for Sharply Bounded Arithmetic

The purpose of this note is to show that the independence results for sharply bounded arithmetic of Takeuti [4] and Tada and Tatsuta [3] can be obtained and, in case of the latter, improved by the model-theoretic method developed by the author in [2].     

Global exponential stability of a class of retarded impulsive differential equations with applications

This paper studies the dynamics of a class of retarded impulsive differential equations (IDE), which generalizes the delayed cellular neural networks (DCNN), delayed bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks and some population growth models. Some sufficient criteria are obtained for the existence and global exponential stability of a unique equilibrium. When the impulsive jumps are absent, our results reduce to its corresponding results for the non-impulsive systems. The approaches are based on Banach’s fixed point theorem, matrix theory and its spectral theory. Due to this method, our results generalize and improve many previous known results such as [3], [5], [6], [9], [17], [18], [23], [32], [38], [43], [51], [52]. Some examples are also included to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the results obtained.     

New bounds for Perron root of a nonnegative matrix

In this paper, we obtain some new bounds for Perron root of a nonnegative matrix, which are expressed by easily calculated function in element of matrix. These new results generalize and improve the bounds of G. Frobenius [1] and H. Minc [2], and also extend the known results by Liu [6].
