In this paper, we give a characterization of the structurally stable vector fields via the notion of orbital inverse shadowing. More precisely, it is proved that the $C^1$ interior of the set of $C^1$ vector fields with the orbital inverse shadowing property coincides with the set of structurally stable vector fields. This fact improves the main result obtained by K. Moriyasu et al. in [15].

We investigate the uniqueness of transcendental analytic functions that share three values DM in one angular domain instead of the whole complex plane.

The analogues of Marcinkiewicz multiplier theorem and Littlewood-Paley theorem are proved for p-Faber series in weighted Smirnov spaces defined on bounded and unbounded components of a rectifiable Jordan curve.

In this paper, the existence and multiplicity of solution of periodic solutions of p-Laplacian boundary value problem are studied by using degree theory and upper and lower solutions method. Some known results are improved.

In this paper we shall prove some weighted norm inequalities of the form $${\int}_{R^n}\;|Tf(x)|^pu(x)dx\;{\leq}\;C_p\;{\int}_{R^n}\;|f(x)|^pNu(x)dx$$ for certain rough singular integral T and maximal singular integral $T^*$. Here u is a nonnegative measurable function on $R^n$ and N denotes some maximal operator. As a consequence, some vector valued inequalities for both T and $T^*$ are obtained. We shall also get a boundedness result of T on the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces.

We study Ribaucour transformations on nondegenerate local isometric immersions of Lorentzian space forms into Lorentzian space forms with the same sectional curvatures which have flat normal bundles. They can be associated to dressing actions on the solution space of Lorentzian Grassmannian systems.

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme given by infinite nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. We prove strong convergence theorems which are connected with the problem of image recovery. Our results enrich and complement the recent many results.

Let X, $X_1$, $X_2$, ... be i.i.d. random variables with zero means, variance one, and set $S_n\;=\;{\sum}^n_{i=1}\;X_i$, $n\;{\geq}\;1$. Gut and $Sp{\check{a}}taru$ [3] established the precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm and Li, Nguyen and Rosalsky [7] generalized their result under minimal conditions. If P($|S_n|\;{\geq}\;{\varepsilon}{\sqrt{2n\;{\log}\;{\log}\;n}}$) is replaced by E{$|S_n|/{\sqrt{n}}-{\varepsilon}{\sqrt{2\;{\log}\;{\log}\;n}$}+ in their results, the new one is called the moment version of precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm. We establish such a result for self-normalized sums, when X belongs to the domain of attraction of the normal law.

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G), and let g, f be two nonnegative integer-valued functions defined on V(G) such that $g(x)\;{\leq}\;f(x)$ for every vertex x of V(G). We use $d_G(x)$ to denote the degree of a vertex x of G. A (g, f)-factor of G is a spanning subgraph F of G such that $g(x)\;{\leq}\;d_F(x)\;{\leq}\;f(x)$ for every vertex x of V(F). In particular, G is called a (g, f)-graph if G itself is a (g, f)-factor. A (g, f)-factorization of G is a partition of E(G) into edge-disjoint (g, f)-factors. Let F = {$F_1$, $F_2$, ..., $F_m$} be a factorization of G and H be a subgraph of G with mr edges. If $F_i$, $1\;{\leq}\;i\;{\leq}\;m$, has exactly r edges in common with H, we say that F is r-orthogonal to H. If for any partition {$A_1$, $A_2$, ..., $A_m$} of E(H) with $|A_i|=r$ there is a (g, f)-factorization F = {$F_1$, $F_2$, ..., $F_m$} of G such that $A_i\;{\subseteq}E(F_i)$, $1\;{\leq}\;i\;{\leq}\;m$, then we say that G has (g, f)-factorizations randomly r-orthogonal to H. In this paper it is proved that every (0, mf - (m - 1)r)-graph has (0, f)-factorizations randomly r-orthogonal to any given subgraph with mr edges if $f(x)\;{\geq}\;3r\;-\;1$ for any $x\;{\in}\;V(G)$.

The complete multipartite graph $K_{n(2t)}$ having n partite sets of size 2t, with $n\;{\geq}\;6$ and $t\;{\geq}\;1$, is shown to have a decomposition into gregarious 6-cycles, that is, the cycles which have at most one vertex from any particular partite set. Complete sets of differences of numbers in ${\mathbb{Z}}_n$ are used to produce starter cycles and obtain other cycles by rotating the cycles around the n-gon of the partite sets.

Schanuel's formula describes the distribution of rational points on projective space. In this paper we will extend it to algebraic points of bounded degree in the case of ${\mathbb{P}}^1$. The estimate formula will also give an explicit error term which is quite small relative to the leading term. It will also lead to a quasi-asymptotic formula for the number of points of bounded degree on ${\mathbb{P}}^1$ according as the height bound goes to $\infty$.

Let R be a ring with identity, X the set of all nonzero, nonunits of R and G the group of all units of R. First, we investigate some connected conditions of the zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ of a noncommutative ring R as follows: (1) if $\Gamma(R)$ has no sources and no sinks, then $\Gamma(R)$ is connected and diameter of $\Gamma(R)$, denoted by diam($\Gamma(R)$) (resp. girth of $\Gamma(R)$, denoted by g($\Gamma(R)$)) is equal to or less than 3; (2) if X is a union of finite number of orbits under the left (resp. right) regular action on X by G, then $\Gamma(R)$ is connected and diam($\Gamma(R)$) (resp. g($\Gamma(R)$)) is equal to or less than 3, in addition, if R is local, then there is a vertex of $\Gamma(R)$ which is adjacent to every other vertices in $\Gamma(R)$; (3) if R is unit-regular, then $\Gamma(R)$ is connected and diam($\Gamma(R)$) (resp. g($\Gamma(R)$)) is equal to or less than 3. Next, we investigate the graph automorphisms group of $\Gamma(Mat_2(\mathbb{Z}_p))$ where $Mat_2(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ is the ring of 2 by 2 matrices over the galois field $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (p is any prime).

Norm estimates of the pre-Schwarzian derivatives are given for meromorphic functions in the outside of the unit circle. We deduce several univalence criteria for meromorphic functions from those estimates.

In this paper, we introduce and study various locally convex vector topologies on the space of bounded linear operators between Banach spaces. We also apply these topologies to approximation properties.

Let n be a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra which has an inner product <, > and has an orthogonal decomposition $n\;=z\;{\oplus}v$ for its center z and the orthogonal complement v of z. Then Each element z of z defines a skew symmetric linear map $J_z\;:\;v\;{\longrightarrow}\;v$ given by <$J_zx$, y> = for all x, $y\;{\in}\;v$. In this paper we characterize Jacobi fields and calculate all conjugate points of a simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group N with its Lie algebra n satisfying $J^2_z$ = A for all $z\;{\in}\;z$, where S is a positive definite symmetric operator on z and A is a negative definite symmetric operator on v.

In this paper, we introduce a fixed point index of weakly inward 1-set-contraction mappings. With the aid of the new index, we obtain some new fixed point theorems, nonzero fixed point theorems and multiple positive fixed points for this class of mappings. As an application of nonzero fixed point theorems, we discuss an eigenvalue problem.

Grossman [7] showed that certain cyclically pinched 1-relator groups have residually finite outer automorphism groups. In this paper we prove that tree products of finitely generated free groups amalgamating maximal cyclic subgroups have residually finite outer automorphism groups. We also prove that polygonal products of finitely generated central subgroup separable groups amalgamating trivial intersecting central subgroups have residually finite outer automorphism groups.

Consider the nonparametric regression model $Y_{ni}\;=\;g(x_{ni})+{\epsilon}_{ni}$ ($1\;{\leq}\;i\;{\leq}\;n$), where g($\cdot$) is an unknown regression function, $x_{ni}$ are known fixed design points, and the correlated errors {${\epsilon}_{ni}$, $1\;{\leq}\;i\;{\leq}\;n$} have the same distribution as {$V_i$, $1\;{\leq}\;i\;{\leq}\;n$}, here $V_t\;=\;{\sum}^{\infty}_{j=-{\infty}}\;{\psi}_je_{t-j}$ with ${\sum}^{\infty}_{j=-{\infty}}\;|{\psi}_j|$ < $\infty$ and {$e_t$} are negatively associated random variables. Under appropriate conditions, we derive a Berry-Esseen type bound for the estimator of g($\cdot$). As corollary, by choice of the weights, the Berry-Esseen type bound can attain O($n^{-1/4}({\log}\;n)^{3/4}$).

The group Hameo (M, $\omega$) of Hamiltonian homeomorphisms of a connected symplectic manifold (M, $\omega$) was defined and studied in [7] and further in [6]. In these papers, the authors consistently used the $L^{(1,{\infty})}$-Hofer norm (and not the $L^{\infty}$-Hofer norm) on the space of Hamiltonian paths (see below for the definitions). A justification for this choice was given in [7]. In this article we study the $L^{\infty}$-case. In view of the fact that the Hofer norm on the group Ham (M, $\omega$) of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms does not depend on the choice of the $L^{(1,{\infty})}$-norm vs. the $L^{\infty}$-norm [9], Y.-G. Oh and D. McDuff (private communications) asked whether the two notions of Hamiltonian homeomorphisms arising from the different norms coincide. We will give an affirmative answer to this question in this paper.

Noncommutative extensions of the Gross and Beltrami Laplacians, called the quantum Gross Laplacian and the quantum Beltrami Laplacian, resp., are introduced and their basic properties are studied. As noncommutative extensions of the Fourier-Gauss and Fourier-Mehler transforms, we introduce the quantum Fourier-Gauss and quantum Fourier- Mehler transforms. The infinitesimal generators of all differentiable one parameter groups induced by the quantum Fourier-Gauss transform are linear combinations of the quantum Gross Laplacian and quantum Beltrami Laplacian. A characterization of the quantum Fourier-Mehler transform is studied.
