Relaxation of Optimal Control Problems Involving Time Dependent Subdifferential Operators

This article provides in the setting of infinite dimensional Hilbert space, a result concerning the existence and uniqueness of solutions for Lipschitz single-valued perturbations of evolution problems associated with time-dependent subdifferential operators. The result is used to extend to optimal control problems associated with such equations the relaxation theorems with Young measures established in Casting et al. [7 C. Castaing , P. Raynaud de Fitte , and M. Valadier , M. ( 2004 ). Young Measures on Topological Spaces with Applications in Control Theory and Probability Theory .

The Thin Film Equation with Non-Zero Contact Angle: A Singular Perturbation Approach

In this paper we consider the thin film equation with prescribed non-zero contact angle condition for a large class of mobility coefficients, in dimension 1. We prove the global in time existence of weak solutions by using a diffuse approximation of the free boundary condition. This approach, which can be physically motivated by the introduction of singular disjoining/conjoining pressure forces had been suggested in particular by Bertsch et al. in [11 Bertsch , M. , Giacomelli , L. , Karali , G. ( 2005 ). Thin-film equations with “partial wetting” energy: Existence of weak solutions . Phys. D 209 : 17 – 27 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].     

Equivalences for Weak Crossed Products

In this article, we give a criterion that characterizes equivalent weak crossed products. By duality, we obtain a similar result for weak crossed coproducts and, as a consequence, we find the conditions that assures the equivalence between two weak crossed biproducts. As an application, we show that the main results proved by Panaite in [12 Panaite, F. (2014). Equivalent crossed products and cross product bialgebras. Commun. Algebr. 42:1937–1952.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] (see also [11 Panaite, F. (2012). Invariance under twisting for crossed products. Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 140:755–763.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]), for Brzeziński's crossed products, admits a substantial reduction in the imposed conditions.     

Strongly J-Clean Matrices Over Local Rings

An element of a ring is called strongly J-clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and an element in its Jacobson radical that commute. We investigate, in this article, a single strongly J-clean 2 × 2 matrix over a noncommutative local ring. The criteria on strong J-cleanness of 2 × 2 matrices in terms of a quadratic equation are given. These extend the corresponding results in [8 Li , B. ( 2009 ). Strongly clean matrix rings over noncommutative local rings . Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 46 : 71 – 78 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], Theorems 2.7 and 3.2], [9 Li , Y. ( 2007 ).

Freeness of Quasi-Hopf Algebras Over Right Coideal Subalgebras

We will generalize Skryabin's Freeness Theorem [11 Skryabin , S. ( 2007 ). Projectivity and freeness over comodule algebras . Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 359 : 2597 – 2623 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]to quasi-Hopf algebras. We will show that for a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra H and a right coideal subalgebra K ? H all (H, K)-quasi Hopf bimodules are free K-modules, in particular, H is a free right and left K-module.     

Convergence in Norm of Projection Regularized Krasnoselski-Mann Iterations for Fixed Points of Cutters

In this article, we introduce a projection regularized Krasnoselski-Mann iteration for cutters. The proposed algorithm ensures the strong convergence of the generated sequence toward the least norm element of the set of fixed points of the cutter. It is verified that the projection regularized Krasnoselski-Mann iteration converges locally faster than the regularized Krasnoselski-Mann iteration introduced by Maingé and Maruster [11 P. E. Maingé and S. Maruster ( 2011 ). Convergence in norm of modified Krasnoselski-Mann iterations for fixed points of demicontractive mappings . Appl. Math. Comput. 217 : 9864 – 9874 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. Furthermore, we present projection regularized Krasnoselski-Mann iterations for quasi-nonexpansive and nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces.     

An Application of Darbo Fixed-Point Theorem to a Class of Functional Integral Equations

In this article, using Darbo's fixed-point theorem associated with the measure of noncompactness, we prove a theorem on the existence of the solutions of some nonlinear functional integral equations in the space of continuous functions on interval [0, a]. Our existence results include several existence results obtained earlier by Maleknejad et al. [7 K. Maleknejad , K. Nouri , and R. Mollapourasl ( 2009 ). Investigation on the existence of solutions for some nonlinear functional-integral equations . Nonlinear Anal. 71 : 1575 – 1578 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and Özdemir et al.

Uniqueness Criteria for the Adjoint Equation in State-Constrained Elliptic Optimal Control

The article considers linear elliptic equations with regular Borel measures as inhomogeneity. Such equations frequently appear in state-constrained optimal control problems. By a counter example of Serrin [18 J. Serrin ( 1964 ). Pathological solutions of elliptic differential equations . Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa Cl. Sci. 18 : 385 – 388 . [Google Scholar]], it is known that, in the presence of non-smooth data, a standard weak formulation does not ensure uniqueness for such equations. Therefore several notions of solution have been developed that guarantee uniqueness. In this note, we compare different definitions of solutions, namely the ones of Stampacchia [19 G. Stampacchia ( 1965 ). Le probléme de Dirichlet pour les équations elliptiques du second ordre à coéffcients discontinus . Ann. Inst. Fourier 15 : 189 – 258 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]] and Boccardo-Galouët [4 L. Boccardo and T. Gallouët ( 1989 ). Nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations involving measure data . J. Func. Anal. 87 : 149 – 169 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and the two notions of solutions of [2 J.-J. Alibert and J.-P. Raymond ( 1997 ). Boundary control of semilinear elliptic equations with discontinuous leading coefficients and unbounded controls . Numer. Func. Anal.

SIAM J. Control Optim. 31:993–1006.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], and show that they are equivalent. As side results, we reformulate the solution in the sense of [19 G. Stampacchia ( 1965 ). Le probléme de Dirichlet pour les équations elliptiques du second ordre à coéffcients discontinus . Ann. Inst. Fourier 15 : 189 – 258 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]], and prove the existence of solutions in the sense of [2 J.-J. Alibert and J.-P. Raymond ( 1997 ).

Classification of Pointed Fusion Categories of dimension 8 up to weak Morita equivalence

In this paper we give a complete classification of pointed fusion categories over ? of global dimension 8. We first classify the equivalence classes of pointed fusion categories of dimension 8, and then we proceed to determine which of these equivalence classes have equivalent categories of modules following the procedure presented in [9 Naidu, D. (2007). Categorical Morita equivalence for group-theoretical categories. Commun. Algebra 35(11):3544–3565.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 11 Uribe, B. (2017). On the classification of pointed fusion categories up to weak Morita equivalence. Pac. J. Math. 290(2):437–466.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. The results of this paper permit to recover the classification of twisted quantum doubles of groups of order 8 up to gauge equivalence of braided quasi-Hopf algebras that was previously done in [6 Mason, C., Ng, S.-H (2001). Group cohomology and gauge equivalence of some twisted quantum doubles. Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 353(9):3465–3509.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and [5 Goff, C., Mason, G., Ng, S.-H (2007).

Certain Cyclically Presented Groups with the Same Polynomial

We consider three infinite families of cyclic presentations of groups, depending on a finite set of integers and having the same polynomial. Then we prove that the corresponding groups with the same parameters are isomorphic, and that the groups are almost all infinite. Finally, we completely compute the maximal Abelian quotients of such groups, and show that their HNN extensions are high-dimensional knot groups. Our results contain as particular cases the main theorems obtained in two nice articles: Johnson et al. (1999 Johnson , D. L. , Kim , A. C. , O'Brien , E. A. ( 1999 ). Certain cyclically presented groups are isomorphic . Comm. Algebra 27 ( 7 ): 3531 – 3536 . [CSA] [Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and Havas et al. (2001 Havas , G. , Holt , D. F. , Newman , M. F. ( 2001 ). Certain cyclically presented groups are infinite . Comm. Algebra 29 ( 11 ): 5175 – 5178 .

Monoid Valuations and Value Ordered Supervaluations

We complement two papers on supertropical valuation theory ([11 Izhakian , Z. , Knebusch , M. , Rowen , L. ( 2011 ). Supertropical semirings and supervaluations . J. Pure and Applied Alg. 215 ( 10 ): 2431 – 2463 . Preprint at arXiv:1003.1101 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], [12 Izhakian , Z. , Knebusch , M. , Rowen , L. ( 2013 ). Dominance and transmissions in supertropical valuation theory . Commun. Algebra 41 ( 7 ): 2736 – 2782 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]) by providing natural examples of m-valuations (= monoid valuations), and afterwards of supervaluations and transmissions between them. These supervaluations have values in totally ordered supertropical semirings, and the transmissions discussed respect the orderings. We develop the basics of the theory of such semirings and transmissions.     

Leibniz Algebras with Invariant Bilinear Forms and Related Lie Algebras

In ([11 Benayadi, S., Hidri, S. (2014). Quadratic Leibniz algebras. Journal of Lie Theory 24:737–759.[Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]), we have studied quadratic Leibniz algebras that are Leibniz algebras endowed with symmetric, nondegenerate, and associative (or invariant) bilinear forms. The nonanticommutativity of the Leibniz product gives rise to other types of invariance for a bilinear form defined on a Leibniz algebra: the left invariance, the right invariance. In this article, we study the structure of Leibniz algebras endowed with nondegenerate, symmetric, and left (resp. right) invariant bilinear forms. In particular, the existence of such a bilinear form on a Leibniz algebra 𝔏 gives rise to a new algebra structure ☆ on the underlying vector space 𝔏. In this article, we study this new algebra, and we give information on the structure of this type of algebras by using some extensions introduced in [11 Benayadi, S., Hidri, S. (2014). Quadratic Leibniz algebras. Journal of Lie Theory 24:737–759.[Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. In particular, we improve the results obtained in [22 Lin, J., Chen, Z. (2010). Leibniz algebras with pseudo-Riemannian bilinear forms. Front. Math. China 5(1):103–115.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].     

Approximations of Parabolic Equations at the Vicinity of Hyperbolic Equilibrium Point

This article is devoted to the numerical analysis of the abstract semilinear parabolic problem u′(t) = Au(t) + f(u(t)), u(0) = u ⁰, in a Banach space E. We are developing a general approach to establish a discrete dichotomy in a very general setting and prove shadowing theorems that compare solutions of the continuous problem with those of discrete approximations in space and time. In [3 W.-J. Beyn and S. Piskarev ( 2008 ). Shadowing for discrete approximations of abstract parabolic equations . Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst., B 10 : 19 – 42 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] the discretization in space was constructed under the assumption of compactness of the resolvent. It is a well-known fact (see [10 S. Larsson ( 1999 ). Numerical analysis of semilinear parabolic problems . In: The Graduate Student's Guide to Numerical Analysis ’98 ( M. Ainsworth , ed.). Lecture Notes from the 8th EPSRC Summer School in Numerical Analysis . Leicester , UK , July 5–17. 1998. Ser. Comput. Math. 26:83–117; Springer, Berlin .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar], 11 S. Larsson and J. M. Sanz-Serna (1994). The behavior of finite element solutions of semilinear parabolic problems near stationary points. SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 31:1000–1018.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]) that the phase space in the neighborhood of the hyperbolic equilibrium can be split in a such way that the original initial value problem is reduced to initial value problems with exponential bounded solutions on the corresponding subspaces. We show that such a decomposition of the flow persists under rather general approximation schemes, utilizing a uniform condensing property. The main assumption of our results are naturally satisfied, in particular, for operators with compact resolvents and condensing semigroups and can be verified for finite elements as well as finite differences methods.     

Global Existence and Uniform Boundedness of Smooth Solutions to a Cross-Diffusion System with Equal Diffusion Rates

We consider the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto cross-diffusion model for two competing species. If both species have the same random diffusion coefficients and the space dimension is less than or equal to three, we establish the global existence and uniform boundedness of smooth solutions to the model in convex domains. This extends some previous works of Kim [12 Kim, J.U. (1984). Smooth solutions to a quasilinear system of diffusion equations for a certain population model. Nonlinear Anal. 8:1121–1144.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and Shim [21 Shim, S.-A. (2002). Uniform boundedness and convergence of solutions to cross-diffusion systems. J. Diff. Eqs. 185:281–305.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] in one dimensional space.     

Algebra Structures Arising from Yang–Baxter Systems

Yang–Baxter operators from algebra structures appeared for the first time in [11 D?sc?lescu , S. , Nichita , F. ( 1999 ). Yang–Baxter operators arising from (co)algebra structures . Comm. Algebra 27 : 5833 – 5845 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 22 Nichita , F. ( 1999 ). Self-inverse Yang–Baxter operators from (co)algebra structures . J. Algebra 218 : 738 – 759 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 23 Nuss , P. ( 1997 ). Noncommutative descent and non-abelian cohomology . K-Theory 12 ( 1 ): 23 – 74 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]]. Later, Yang–Baxter systems from entwining structures were constructed in [8 Brzeziński , T. , Nichita , F. F. ( 2005 ). Yang–Baxter systems and Entwining Structures . Comm. Algebra 33 : 1083 – 1093 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. In fact, Yang–Baxter systems are equivalent with braid systems. In this paper we show that braidings and entwinings of various algebraic structures—in particular, algebra factorisations—can be constructed from a braid system, whence from a Yang–Baxter system as well.     

Derived Brauer–Thrall Type Theorem I for Artin Algebras

We define the global cohomological range for artin algebras, and define the derived bounded algebras to be the algebras with finite global cohomological range, then we prove the first Brauer–Thrall type theorem for bounded derived categories of artin algebras, i.e., derived bounded algebras are precisely the derived finite algebras. Moreover, the main theorem establishes that the derived bounded artin algebras are just piecewise hereditary algebras of Dynkin type, and can be also characterized as those artin algebras with derived dimension zero, which can be regarded as a generalization of the results of Han–Zhang [11 Han, Y., Zhang, C. Brauer-Thrall type theorems for derived category, arXiv:1310.2777. [Google Scholar], Theorem 1] and Chen–Ye–Zhang [4 Chen, X. W., Ye, Y., Zhang, P. (2008). Algebras of derived dimension zero. Comm. Algebra 36:1–10.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], Theorem] in the context of finite-dimensional algebras over algebraically closed fields, respectively.
