Integral representation of the W-weighted Drazin inverse for Hilbert space operators

This paper studies the integral representation of the W-weighted Drazin inverse for bounded linear operators between Hilbert spaces. By using operator matrix blocks, some integral representations of the W-weighted Drazin inverse for Hilbert space operators are established.     

Efficient solution of a wave equation with fractional-order dissipative terms

We consider a wave equation with fractional-order dissipative terms modeling visco-thermal losses on the lateral walls of a duct, namely the Webster-Lokshin model. Diffusive representations of fractional derivatives are used, first to prove existence and uniqueness results, then to design a numerical scheme which avoids the storage of the entire history of past data. Two schemes are proposed depending on the choice of a quadrature rule in the Laplace domain. The first one mimics the continuous energy balance but suffers from a loss of accuracy in long time simulation. The second one provides uniform control of the accuracy. However, even though the latter is more efficient and numerically stable under the standard CFL condition, no discrete energy balance has been yet found for it. Numerical results of comparisons with a closed-form solution are provided.     

Compact groups of positive operators on Banach lattices

In this paper, we study groups of positive operators on Banach lattices. If a certain factorization property holds for the elements of such a group, the group has a homomorphic image in the isometric positive operators which has the same invariant ideals as the original group. If the group is compact in the strong operator topology, it equals a group of isometric positive operators conjugated by a single central lattice automorphism, provided an additional technical assumption is satisfied, for which we have only examples. We obtain a characterization of positive representations of a group with compact image in the strong operator topology, and use this for normalized symmetric Banach sequence spaces to prove an ordered version of the decomposition theorem for unitary representations of compact groups. Applications concerning spaces of continuous functions are also considered.     

Invariant properties of representations under cleft extensions

The main aim of this paper is to give the invariant properties of representations of algebras under cleft extensions over a semisimple Hopf algebra. Firstly, we explain the concept of the cleft extension and give a relation between the cleft extension and the crossed product which is the approach we depend upon. Then, by making use of them, we prove that over an algebraically closed field k, for a finite dimensional Hopf algebra H which is semisimple as well as its dual H*, the representation type of an algebra is an invariant property under a finite dimensional H-cleft extension . In the other part, we still show that over an arbitrary field k, the Nakayama property of a k-algebra is also an invariant property under an H -cleft extension when the radical of the algebra is H-stable.     

Two New Multi-component BKP Hierarchies

We firstly propose two kinds of new multi-component BKP （mcBKP） hierarchy based on the eigenfunction symmetry reduction and nonstandard reduction, respectively. The first one contains two types of BKP equation with self-consistent sources whose Lax representations are presented. The two mcBKP hierarchies both admit reductions to the k-constrained BKP hierarchy and to integrable （1＋1）-dimensional hierarchy with self-consistent sources, which include two types of SK equation with self-consistent sources and of hi-directional SK equations with self-consistent     

-actions whose fixed data has a section

Given a collection of real vector bundles over a closed manifold , suppose that, for some is of the form , where is the trivial one-dimensional bundle. In this paper we prove that if is the fixed data of a -action, then the same is true for the Whitney sum obtained from by replacing by . This stability property is well-known for involutions. Together with techniques previously developed, this result is used to describe, up to bordism, all possible -actions fixing the disjoint union of an even projective space and a point.     

Schopenhauer's Prolegomenon to Fuzziness

Prolegomenon means something said in advance of something else. In this study, we posit that part of the work by Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) can be thought of as a prolegomenon to the existing concept of fuzziness. His epistemic framework offers a comprehensive and surprisingly modern framework to study individual decision making and suggests a bridgeway from the Kantian program into the concept of fuzziness, which may have had its second prolegomenon in the work by Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Peirce and Black. In this context, Zadeh's seminal contribution can be regarded as the logical consequence of the Kant-Schopenhauer representation framework.     

A Survey on Topological Properties of Tiles Related to Number Systems

In the present paper we give an overview of topological properties of self-affine tiles. After reviewing some basic results on self-affine tiles and their boundary we give criteria for their local connectivity and connectivity. Furthermore, we study the connectivity of the interior of a family of tiles associated to quadratic number systems and give results on their fundamental group. If a self-affine tile tessellates the space the structure of the set of its ‘neighbors’ is discussed.     

On an additive representation function

Let A be an infinite subset of natural numbers, and X a positive real number. Let r(n) denotes the number of solution of the equation n=a₁+a₂ where a₁?a₂ and a₁, a₂∈A. Also let |A(X)| denotes the number of natural numbers which are less than or equal to X and belong to A. For those A which satisfy the condition that for all sufficiently large natural numbers n we have r(n)≠1, we improve the lower bound of |A(X)| given by Nicolas et. al. [NRS98]. The bound which we obtain is essentially best possible.
