On Generalizations of Ostrowski Inequality and Some Related Results

Some generalizations of the Ostrowski inequality, the Milovanovi-Peari-Fink inequality, the Dragomir-Agarwal inequality and the Hadamard inequality are given.     

Generalizations of Sylow's Theorem

On the Algebraic Structure of Quasi-cyclic Codes II: Chain Rings

The ring decomposition technique of part I is extended to the case when the factors in the direct product decomposition are no longer fields but arbitrary chain rings. This includes not only the case of quasi-cyclic codes over rings but also the case of quasi-cyclic codes over fields whose co-index is no longer prime to the characteristic of the field. A new quaternary construction of the Leech lattice is derived.     

A Note on π-Engel Conditions

In this paper we show that the weakly -Engel conditions are closely related to the existance of normal -complements; while the -Engel conditions are closely related to the -nilpotent groups.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 20D20     

On Some Generalizations and Refinements of a Ky Fan Inequality

On the Operator Semirings of a Γ-Semiring

In this paper we introduce the notion of operator semirings of a -semiring to study -semirings. It is shown that the lattices of all left (right) ideals (two-sided ideals) of a -semiring and its right (respectively left) operator semiring are isomorphic. This has many applications to characterize various -semirings.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 16Y60, 16Y99     

Topological existence and stability for stackelberg problems

The aim of this paper is to study, in a topological framework, existence and stability for the solutions to a parametrized Stackelberg problem. To this end, approximate solutions are used, more precisely, -solutions and strict -solutions. The results given are of minimal character and the standard types of constraints are considered, that is, constant constraints, constraints defined by a finite number of inequalities, and more generally constraints defined by an arbitrary multifunction.     

On θ-Principal Extension and H-Closedness

A type of extensions called the -extention of topological spaces and their -equivalence and -trace systems are introduced, which ultimately characterize H-closed -extensions of a Hausdorff topological space. Also, the notion of -principal extensions is defined. A typical -principal extension consisting of certain grills on a Hausdorff space is constructed, and finally, some characterizations of H-closedness of a Hausdorff space are obtained.AMS Subject Classification (2000) 54D30 54D99     

Study of Noetherian Γ-Semirings via Operator Semirings

In this paper we study Noetherian -semirings and obtain Cohens theorem for a special class of -semirings. Weak primary decomposition theorem for a particular type of -semirings is also obtained.Presently Lecturer in Mathematics, University of Burdwan, GOLAPBAG, W.B. INDIA.     

Piecewise Constant Roughly Convex Functions

This paper investigates some kinds of roughly convex functions, namely functions having one of the following properties: -convexity (in the sense of Klötzler and Hartwig), -convexity and midpoint -convexity (in the sense of Hu, Klee, and Larman), -convexity and midpoint -convexity (in the sense of Phu). Some weaker but equivalent conditions for these kinds of roughly convex functions are stated. In particular, piecewise constant functions satisfying f(x) = f([x]) are considered, where [x] denotes the integer part of the real number x. These functions appear in numerical calculation, when an original function g is replaced by f(x):=g([x]) because of discretization. In the present paper, we answer the question of when and in what sense such a function f is roughly convex.     

On the Neighbourhood of a Subclass of Univalent Functions Related to Complex Order

We consider the class of functions R(A, B) introduced by Dixit and Pal, where b 0 is a complex number and A, B are fixed members –1 B < A 1. We will study the -neighbourhoods for functions belonging to R^b(A, B), by using convolution techniques.AMS Mathematics Classification (2000): 30C55     

On Rings Whose Primitive Factor Rings Are Left Artinian

In this paper, we prove that if R is a Min-E ring, then the following statements are equivalent: (1) Every left primitive factor ring of R is left artinian; (2) R is a -regular ring; (3) R is an Exchange ring; (4) R is a Clean ring. As an application, we obtain that if R is Min-E ring, every left primitive factor ring of R is artinian and any direct product of them is a Min-E ring, then every non-zero homomorphic image of R contains only a finite number of prime ideals. When R is Min-E ring and has no infinite set of orthogonal idempotents, a left R-module M is Min-E if and only if M is Max-E. Also, we show, if R is a strongly clean Min-E ring, then R is directly finite and has stable range 1.AMS Subject Classification (1991) 16A30 16P20The research presented is this paper by an ECF grant of Zhejiang Province, China     

Some topological properties of ω-covering sets

We prove the following theorems:1. There exists an -covering with the property s ₀.2. Under cov there exists X such that is not an -covering orX \ B is not an -covering].3. Also we characterize the property of being an -covering.     

Hulls for Various Kinds of α-Completeness in Archimedean Lattice-Ordered Groups

Within Archimedean -groups, and with an infinite cardinal or , we consider X-hulls where X stands for any of the following classes of -groups: -projectable; laterally -complete; boundedly laterally -complete; conditionally -complete; combinations of the preceding, together with divisibility and/or relative uniform completeness. All these hulls exist, and may be obtained by iterated adjunction of the required extra elements, within the essential hull. When the -groups is relatively -complemented one step in the iteration suffices for several crucial properties. We derive from the above a considerable number of equations involving combinations of these hull operators.     

On the variational convergence of non-coercive quadratic integral functionals and semicontinuity problems

In this paper we give some results about convergence of non coercive quadratic integral functionals by examining the behaviour of coefficients. We apply our results to semicontinuity problems and we illustrate them by some examples.AMS Subject Classification: 40A10, 49J45.     

Some Properties of Isologism of Groups and Baer-Invariants

Let be a variety of groups defined by the set of laws V. In this paper we study the concept of -isologism of groups in terms of -extensions and their connections with the Baer-invariant of groups are also discussed.AMS Subject Classification (2000): primary 20F14, 20F19, secondary 20E10     

A closed formula for the čebyšev barycentric weights of optimal approximation in H2

The barycentric formula has several advantages over other means of evaluating the polynomial interpolating a function betweenn points in an interval. In particular, it is much more stable for sets of points clustered at the extremities of the interval, as are all the sets guaranteeing a good approximation forn sufficiently large. Also, it requires onlyO(n) operations for every function to be interpolated, once some weights, which depend only on the points, have been computed. Computing those weights usually requiresO(n²) operations; for ebyev points, however,O(n) operations suffice. We show here that all the above is also true for the optimal evaluation of functionals in H² by giving a closed formula for the corresponding weights.     

Inequality of Petrović and Giaccardi for Convex Function of Higher Order

In this paper we use Lidstone polynomials to prove further generalization of Giaccardi generalization of the well-known Petrovis inequality.     

Controllability and extremality in nonconvex differential inclusions

LetF:[0, T]×R ⁿ 2 ^{R n} be a set-valued map with compact values; let :R ⁿ R ^m be a locally Lipschitzian map,z(t) a given trajectory, andR the reachable set atT of the differential inclusion . We prove sufficient conditions for (z(T))intR and establish necessary conditions in maximum principle form for (z(T))(R). As a consequence of these results, we show that every boundary trajectory is simultaneously a Pontryagin extremal, Lagrangian extremal, and relaxed Lagrangian extremal.The author is grateful to an anonymous referee for his valuable remarks and comments which have helped to improve the paper.The paper was written while the author was visiting the laboratory of Prof. S. Suzuki, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sophia University, Tokyo, Japan.
