Let R be a ring, ($S,{\leq}$) a strictly ordered monoid, and ${\omega}:S{\rightarrow}End(R)$ a monoid homomorphism. In [18], Mazurek, and Ziembowski investigated when the skew generalized power series ring $R[[S,{\omega}]]$ is a domain satisfying the ascending chain condition on principal left (resp. right) ideals. Following [18], we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on R, S and ${\omega}$ such that the skew generalized power series ring $R[[S,{\omega}]]$ is a right or left Archimedean domain. As particular cases of our general results we obtain new theorems on the ring of arithmetical functions and the ring of generalized power series. Our results extend and unify many existing results.

In this paper, we introduce an operation denoted by [$Br_e$], a bracket operation, which maps an arbitrary groupoid ($X,{\ast}$) on a set X to another groupoid $(X,{\bullet})=[Br_e](X,{\ast})$ which on groups corresponds to sending a pair of elements (x, y) of X to its commutator $xyx^{-1}y^{-1}$. When applied to classes such as d-algebras, BCK-algebras, a variety of results is obtained indicating that this construction is more generally useful than merely for groups where it is of fundamental importance.

In this paper, we discuss special polynomials involving exponential distribution, which is related to life testing. We derive some identities of special polynomials such as the symmetric property, recurrence formula and so on. In addition, we investigate explicit properties of special polynomials by using their derivative and integral.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and let M be an R-module. The main purpose of this paper is to calculate the chromatic number of the zero-divisor graphs over modules.

Let ${\mathcal{F}}$ denote an algebraically closed field with characteristic not two. Fix an integer $d{\geq}3$, let $Mat_{d+1}({\mathcal{F}})$ denote the ${\mathcal{F}}$-algebra of $(d+1){\times}(d+1)$ matrices with entries in ${\mathcal{F}}$. An ordered pair of matrices A, $A^*$ in $Mat_{d+1}({\mathcal{F}})$ is said to be LB-TD form whenever A is lower bidiagonal with subdiagonal entries all 1 and $A^*$ is irreducible tridiagonal. Let A, $A^*$ be a Leonard pair in $Mat_{d+1}({\mathcal{F}})$ with fundamental parameter ${\beta}=2$, with this assumption there are four families of Leonard pairs, Racah, Hahn, dual Hahn, Krawtchouk type. In this paper we show from these four families only Racah and Krawtchouk have LB-TD form.

Let R be an associative ring with nonzero identity. The annihilator ideal graph of R, denoted by ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$, is a graph whose vertices are all nonzero proper left ideals and all nonzero proper right ideals of R, and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if $I{\cap}({\ell}_R(J){\cup}r_R(J)){\neq}0$ or $J{\cap}({\ell}_R(I){\cup}r_R(I)){\neq}0$, where ${\ell}_R(K)=\{b{\in}R|bK=0\}$ is the left annihilator of a nonempty subset $K{\subseteq}R$, and $r_R(K)=\{b{\in}R|Kb=0\}$ is the right annihilator of a nonempty subset $K{\subseteq}R$. In this paper, we assume that R is a semicommutative ring. We study the structure of ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$. Also, we investigate the relations between the ring-theoretic properties of R and graph-theoretic properties of ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$. Moreover, some combinatorial properties of ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$, such as domination number and clique number, are studied.

Dilcher and Stolarsky [1] recently studied a sequence resembling the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. In this paper, we follow their some research directions to the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. More specifically, we consider a sequence resembling the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind in two different ways, and investigate its properties including relations between this sequence and the sequence studied in [1], zero distribution and the irreducibility.

In 2006, S. Lin and W. Lin introduced the definition of weakly weighted-sharing of meromorphic functions which is between "CM" and "IM". In this paper, using the notion of weakly weighted-sharing, we study the uniqueness of nonconstant homogeneous differential polynomials P[f] and P[g] generated by meromorphic functions f and g, respectively. Our results generalize the results due to S. Lin and W. Lin, and H.-Y. Xu and Y. Hu.

In the present paper, we find the sharp bound for the fourth coefficient of starlike functions f which are normalized by f(0) = 0 = f'(0) - 1 and satisfy the following two-sided inequality: $$1+{\frac{{\gamma}-{\pi}}{2\;{\sin}\;{\gamma}}}\;<\;{\Re}\{{\frac{zf^{\prime}(z)}{f(z)}}\}\;<\;1+{\frac{{\gamma}}{2\;{\sin}\;{\gamma}}},\;z{\in}{\mathbb{D}}$$, where ${\mathbb{D}}:=\{z{\in}{\mathbb{C}}:{\left|z\right|}<1\}$ is the unit disk and ${\gamma}$ is a real number such that ${\pi}/2{\leq}{\gamma}<{\pi}$. Moreover, the sharp bound for the fifth coefficient of f defined above with ${\gamma}$ in a subset of [${\pi}/2,{\pi}$) also will be found.

Let X be a Banach space and $X^*$ be its dual. In this paper, we give relationships among some parameters in $X^*$: ${\varepsilon}$-nonsquareness parameter, $J({\varepsilon},X^*)$; ${\varepsilon}$-boundary parameter, $Q({\varepsilon},X^*)$; the modulus of smoothness, ${\rho}_{X^*}({\varepsilon})$; and ${\varepsilon}$-Pythagorean parameter, $E({\varepsilon},X^*)$, and weak orthogonality parameter, ${\omega}(X)$ in X that imply uniform norm structure in X. Some existing results are extended or approved.

Let ${\alpha}:1,(1,{\sqrt{x}},{\sqrt{y}})^{\wedge}$ be a weight sequence with Stampfli's subnormal completion and let $W_{\alpha}$ be its associated weighted shift. In this paper we discuss some properties of the region ${\mathcal{U}}:=\{(x,y):W_{\alpha}$ is semi-cubically hyponormal} and describe the shape of the boundary of ${\mathcal{U}}$. In particular, we improve the results of [19, Theorem 4.2].

We classify all the extreme and exposed bilinear forms of the unit ball of ${\mathcal{L}}(^2l^3_{\infty})$ which leads to a complete formula of ${\parallel}f{\parallel}$ for every $f{\in}{\mathcal{L}}(^2l^3_{\infty})^*$. It follows from this formula that every extreme bilinear form of the unit ball of ${\mathcal{L}}(^2l^3_{\infty})$ is exposed.

Motivated by Bloch's principle, we prove a value distribution result for meromorphic functions which is related to Hayman's alternative in certain sense.

The main aim of this present paper is to present a new extension of the fractional derivative operator by using the extension of beta function recently defined by Shadab et al. [19]. Moreover, we establish some results related to the newly defined modified fractional derivative operator such as Mellin transform and relations to extended hypergeometric and Appell's function via generating functions.

Integrals involving a finite product of the generalized Bessel functions have recently been studied by Choi et al. [2, 3]. Motivated by these results, we establish certain unified integral formulas involving a finite product of the generalized k-Bessel functions. Also, we consider some integral formulas of the (p, q)-extended Bessel functions $J_{{\nu},p,q}(z)$ and the Delerue hyper-Bessel function which are proved in terms of (p, q)-extended generalized hypergeometric functions, and the generalized Wright hypergeometric functions, respectively.

We study commutants of Toeplitz operators acting on the Dirichlet space of the unit disk and prove that an operator in the Toeplitz algebra commuting with a Toeplitz operator with a nonconstant polynomial symbol must be a Toeplitz operator with an analytic symbol.

In this paper, we give some results on ${\frac{zf^{\prime}(z)}{f(z)}}$ for the certain classes of holomorphic functions in the unit disc $E=\{z:{\mid}z{\mid}<1\}$ and on ${\partial}E=\{z:{\mid}z{\mid}=1\}$. For the function $f(z)=z^2+c_3z^3+c_4z^4+{\cdots}$ defined in the unit disc E such that $f(z){\in}{\mathcal{A}}_{\alpha}$, we estimate a modulus of the angular derivative of ${\frac{zf^{\prime}(z)}{f(z)}}$ function at the boundary point b with ${\frac{bf^{\prime}(b)}{f(b)}}=1+{\alpha}$. Moreover, Schwarz lemma for class ${\mathcal{A}}_{\alpha}$ is given. The sharpness of these inequalities is also proved.

In this paper we provide a $Ces{\grave{a}}ro$-hypercyclicity criterion and offer two examples of this criterion. At the same time, we also characterize other properties of $Ces{\grave{a}}ro$-hypercyclic operators.

In this paper, we consider a Korteweg-de Vries equation in noncylindrical domain. This work is devoted to prove existence and uniqueness of global solutions employing Faedo-Galerkin's approximation and transformation of the noncylindrical domain with moving boundary into cylindrical one. Moreover, we estimate the exponential decay of solutions in the asymptotically cylindrical domain.

This article studies the monotonicity, log-convexity of the modified Lommel functions by using its power series and infinite product representation. Some properties for the ratio of the modified Lommel functions with the Lommel function, sinh and cosh are also discussed. As a consequence, $Tur{\acute{a}}n$ type and reverse $Tur{\acute{a}}n$ type inequalities are given. A Rayleigh type function for the Lommel functions are derived and as an application, we obtain the Redheffer-type inequality.

We characterize Gelfand-continuous functions from a Tychonoff space X into an Arens-Michael algebra A. Then we define several algebras of such functions, and investigate them as topological algebras. Finally, we provide a class of examples of (metrizable) commutative unital complete Arens-Michael algebras A and locally compact spaces X for which all these algebras differ from each other.

In the present paper, we derive two optimal inequalities for totally real submanifolds and C-totally real submanifolds of LCS-manifolds with respect to Levi-Civita connection and quarter symmetric metric connection by using T. Oprea's optimization method.

We study generic lightlike submanifolds M of an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold ${\bar{M}}$ or an indefinite generalized Sasakian space form ${\bar{M}}(f_1,f_2,f_3)$ endowed with an $({\ell},m)$-type metric connection subject such that the structure vector field ${\zeta}$ of ${\bar{M}}$ is tangent to M.

In this note we show that Lorentzian Concircular Structure manifolds $(LCS)_n$ coincide with Generalized Robertson-Walker space-times.

In this paper, we introduce conformal semi-slant submersions from Lorentzian para Sasakian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We investigate integrability of distributions and the geometry of leaves of such submersions from Lorentzian para Sasakian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. Moreover, we examine necessary and sufficient conditions for such submersions to be totally geodesic where characteristic vector field ${\xi}$ is vertical.

In this paper, we consider the preconditioned iterative methods for solving linear complementarity problem associated with an M-matrix. Based on the generalized Gunawardena's preconditioner, two preconditioned SSOR methods for solving the linear complementarity problem are proposed. The convergence of the proposed methods are analyzed, and the comparison results are derived. The comparison results showed that preconditioned SSOR methods accelerate the convergent rate of the original SSOR method. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the theoretical results.

In this paper, we propose a new interior point method for solving nonlinear complementarity problems. In this method, we use a new profitable searching direction and instead of using the logarithmic quadratic term, we use a square root quadratic term. We prove the global convergence of the proposed method under the assumption that F is monotone. Some preliminary computational results are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

This research is focused on a continuous epidemic model of transmission of Plasmodium vivax malaria with a time delay. The model is represented as a system of ordinary differential equations with delay. There are two equilibria, which are the disease-free state and the endemic equilibrium, depending on the basic reproduction number, $R_0$, which is calculated and decreases with the time delay. Moreover, the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if $R_0<1$. If $R_0>1$, a unique endemic steady state exists and is locally stable. Furthermore, Hopf bifurcation is applied to determine the conditions for periodic solutions.
