Family of Pearson discrete distributions generated by the univariate hypergeometric function 3F2(α1, α2, α3; γ1, γ2; λ)

In this work we present a study of the Pearson discrete distributions generated by the hypergeometric function ₃F₂(α₁, α₂, α₃;γ₁, γ₂; λ), a univariate extension of the Gaussian hypergeometric function, through a constructive methodology. We start from the polynomial coefficients of the difference equation that lead to such a function as a solution. Immediately after, we obtain the generating probability function and the differential equation that it satisfies, valid for any admissible values of the parameters. We also obtain the differential equations that satisfy the cumulants generating function, moments generating function and characteristic function, From this point on, we obtain a relation in recurrences between the moments about the origin, allowing us to create an equation system for estimating the parameters by the moment method. We also establish a classification of all possible distributions of such type and conclude with a summation theorem that allows us study some distributions belonging to this family. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the Distributions δk and (δ')k

Powers and products of distributions have not as yet been defined to hold true in general. In this paper, we choose a fixed δ-sequence and use the concept of neutrix limit to give meaning to the distributions δ^k and (δ')^k for some k. These may be regarded as powers of Dirac delta functions.     

A classification result on weighted {δ (p3 + 1), δ; 3, p3}‐minihypers

We classify all {δ (p³ + 1), δ; 3, p³}‐minihypers, , for a prime number p₀ ≥ 7, with excess e ≤ p³. Such a minihyper is a sum of lines and of possibly one projected subgeometry PG(5, p), or a sum of lines and a minihyper which is a projected subgeometry PG(5, p) minus one line. When p is a square, also (possibly projected) Baer subgeometries PG(3, p^3/2) can occur. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

The Hankel Convolution and the Zemanian Spaces βμ and β'μ

In this paper we give structure theorems for the elements of the Zemanian spaces β'_μ and β'_μ,a' Also, bounded sets and convergent sequences in β'_μ,a' are characterized through representations as derivatives of measurable functions. Finally, we analyze the Hankel convolution on the above spaces.     

α-Stable characterization of Banach spaces (1 < α < 2)

This work characterizes some subclasses of α-stable (0 < α < 1) Banach spaces in terms of the extendibility to Radon laws of certain α-stable cylinder measures. These result extend the work of S. Chobanian and V. Tarieladze (J. Multivar. Anal.7, 183–203 (1977)). For these spaces it is shown that every Radon stable measure is the continuous image of a stable measure on a suitable L_β space with β = α(1 − α)⁻¹. The latter result extends some work of Garling (Ann. Probab.4, 600–611 (1976)) and Jain (Proceedings, Symposia in Pure Math. XXXI, p. 55–65, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, R.I.).     

The spectrum of cyclic BSA(ν, 3, λ; α) with α = 2, 3

Balanced sampling plans excluding contiguous units (or BSEC) were first introduced by Hedayat, Rao, and Stufken in 1988. In this paper, we generalize the concept of a cyclic BSEC to a cyclic balanced sampling plan to avoid the selection of adjacent units (or CBSA for short) and use Langford and extended Langford sequences to construct a cyclic BSA(ν, 3, λ; α) with α = 2, 3. We finally establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a cyclic BSA(ν, 3, λ; α) where α = 2, 3. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs.     

Foxby equivalences associated to Gorenstein categories 𝒢(𝒳,𝒴,𝒵)

In this paper, we establish some new Foxby equivalences between some Gorenstein subcategories in the Auslander class 𝒜_C(R) and that in the Bass class ?_C(S) in a general setting. Our results provide a unification and generalization of some known results and generate some new Foxby equivalences of categories.     

Completely 𝒲-Resolved Complexes

Let R be a ring and 𝒲 a self-orthogonal class of left R-modules which is closed under finite direct sums and direct summands. A complex C of left R-modules is called a 𝒲-complex if it is exact with each cycle Z ⁿ (C) ∈ 𝒲. The class of such complexes is denoted by 𝒞_𝒲. A complex C is called completely 𝒲-resolved if there exists an exact sequence of complexes D _· = … → D _?1 → D ₀ → D ₁ → … with each term D _i in 𝒞_𝒲 such that C = ker(D ₀ → D ₁) and D _· is both Hom(𝒞_𝒲, ?) and Hom(?, 𝒞_𝒲) exact. In this article, we show that C = … → C ^?1 → C ⁰ → C ¹ → … is a completely 𝒲-resolved complex if and only if C ⁿ is a completely 𝒲-resolved module for all n ∈ ?. Some known results are obtained as corollaries.     

The spectrum of BSA(v, 3, λ; α) with α = 2,3

In this article, a kind of auxiliary design BSA^* for constructing BSAs is introduced and studied. Two powerful recursive constructions on BSAs from 3‐IGDDs and BSA^*s are exploited. Finally, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a BSA(v, 3, λ; α) with α = 2, 3 are established. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 15: 61–76, 2007     

Nonisomorphic solutions of (4t+3, 2t+1, t) designs

A technique has been developed to get a large number of nonisomorphic solutions of a (4t+3, 2t+1, t) design. Some results are proved on the conjecture for Hadamard matrices.     

More about divisibility in βN

We continue the research of an extension $\stackrel{～}{\mid }$ of the divisibility relation to the Stone-?ech compactification $\beta \mathbb{N}$. First we prove that ultrafilters we call prime actually possess the algebraic property of primality. Several questions concerning the connection between divisibilities in $\beta \mathbb{N}$ and nonstandard extensions of $\mathbb{N}$ are answered, providing a few more equivalent conditions for divisibility in $\beta \mathbb{N}$. Results on uncountable chains in $(\beta \mathbb{N},\stackrel{～}{\mid })$ are proved and used in a construction of a well-ordered chain of maximal cardinality. Probably the most interesting result is the existence of a chain of type $(\mathbb{R},<)$ in $(\beta \mathbb{N},\stackrel{～}{\mid })$. Finally, we consider ultrafilters without divisors in $\mathbb{N}$ and among them find the greatest class.
