Let T be a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space H. For a positive integer k, an operator T is said to be a k-quasi-2-isometric operator if T^∗k(T^∗2T² − 2T^∗T + I)T^k = 0, which is a generalization of 2-isometric operator. In this paper, we consider basic structural properties of k-quasi-2-isometric operators. Moreover, we give some examples of k-quasi-2-isometric operators. Finally, we prove that generalized Weyl’s theorem holds for polynomially k-quasi-2-isometric operators.

For a positive integer k, an operator T is said to be k-quasi-*-paranormal if ${\parallel}T^{k+2}x{\parallel}{\parallel}T^kx{\parallel}{\geq}{\parallel}T^*T^kx{\parallel}^2$ for all x $\in$ H, which is a generalization of *-paranormal operator. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for T to be a k-quasi-*-paranormal operator. We also prove that the spectrum is continuous on the class of all k-quasi-*-paranormal operators.

We consider a class of hypoelliptic operators of the following type $$L=\sum_{i,j=1}^{p_0}a_{ij}{\partial}^2_{x_ix_j}+\sum_{i,j=1}^{N}b_{ij}x_i{\partial}_{x_j}-{\partial}_t$$, where ($a_{ij}$), ($b_{ij}$) are constant matrices and ($a_{ij}$) is symmetric positive definite on $\mathbb{R}^{p_0}$ ($p_0{\leqslant}N$). By establishing global Morrey estimates of singular integral on the homogenous space and the relation between Morrey space and weak Morrey space, we obtain the global weak Morrey estimates of the operator L on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^{N+1}$.

Let $\cal{H}$ be a separable, infinite dimensional, complex Hilbert space. We call "an operator $\cal{T}$ acting on $\cal{H}$ has a star moment sequence supported on a set K" when there exist nonzero vectors u and v in $\cal{H}$ and a positive Borel measure ${\mu}$ such that <$T^{*j}T^ku$, v> = ${^\int\limits_{K}}\;{{\bar{z}}^j}\;{{\bar{z}}^k}\;d\mu$ for all j, $k\;\geq\;0$. We obtain a characterization to find a representing star moment measure and discuss some related properties.

Purpose - Recent issues such as vessel enlargement, strengthening of environmental regulations, and port smartization are expected to increase costs and intensify competition in the port industry. In the new normal era, when external growth has reached its limit, the efficient operation of ports is becoming indispensable for achieving sustainable growth. This study aims to identify the determinants of inefficiency by examining the cost structure and efficiency of container terminals in Korea and furthermore propose the political implications to derive the maximization of efficiency. Design/methodology - This study estimates the cost function of container terminal operators and identifies the efficiency of container terminals using stochastic cost frontier (SCF) in the first stage. In the second step, the SCF results are compared with the data envelopment analysis (DEA). Last, this paper proposes efficiency determinants on container terminal operation to establish appropriate strategies. Out of the 29 container terminal operators in South Korea, 13 operators participated in the survey. The translog cost function was estimated utilizing a total of 116 observations collected over the 2007-2017 period. Findings - Empirical analysis shows that economies of scale exist in Korea's container ports, which provides a rationale for the government's policy to establish the global terminal operator by integrating small terminal operators to enhance competitiveness. In addition, as a result of the determinants analysis, container throughput, weight of direct employment costs, and labour cost share have positive effects on improving cost efficiency, while inefficiency increases as the length of quay increases. More specifically, cost efficiency improves as the proportion of direct employment costs to outsourcing service costs increases. Originality/value - This study contributes to analyzing the inefficiency factors of container terminals through efficiency analysis with respect to a cost function. In addition, this study proposes the practical and political implications, such as establishing a long-term manpower pool, the application of the hybrid liner terminal system, and the construction of a statistical data system, to improve the cost inefficiency of terminal operators.

Given a set ${\Omega}$ and the notion of bipolar valued fuzzy sets, the concept of a bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroup in semigroups is introduced, and related properties are investigated. Using bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups, bipolar fuzzy sub-semigroups are constructed. Conversely, bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups are established by using bipolar fuzzy sub-semigroups. A characterizations of a bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroup is provided, and normal bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups are discussed. How the homomorphic images and inverse images of bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups become bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups are considered.

In this paper, we first apply parabolic inequalities and a maximum principle to give a new proof for symmetry and monotonicity of solutions to fractional elliptic equations with gradient term by the method of moving planes. Under the condition of suitable initial value, by maximum principles for the fractional parabolic equations, we obtain symmetry and monotonicity of positive solutions for each finite time to nonlinear fractional parabolic equations in a bounded domain and the whole space. More generally, if bounded domain is a ball, then we show that the solution is radially symmetric and monotone decreasing about the origin for each finite time. We firmly believe that parabolic inequalities and a maximum principle introduced here can be conveniently applied to study a variety of nonlocal elliptic and parabolic problems with more general operators and more general nonlinearities.

Nowadays, the importance of the information management of construction sites to achieve the goal of safety construction. This management uses the collaborated analysis of in-situ monitoring data and numerical analysis, especially of an earth retaining structures of excavation sites. In this paper, the fractal theory was applied to actually monitored data from various excavation sites to develop the alternative interpolation technique which could predict the displacement behavior of unknown location around the monitoring locations and the future behavior of the monitoring locations with the steps of excavation. Data, mainly from inclinometer, were collected from various sites where retaining structures were collapsed during construction period, as well as from normal sites with the characteristics of geology, excavation method etc. In the analyses, Hurst exponent (H) was estimated with monitored periods using the Rescaled range analysis (R/S analysis) method applying the H in simulation processes. As the results of the analyses, Hurst exponents were ranged from 0.7 to 0.9 and showed the positive correlation of H > 1/2. The simulation processes, then, with the Hurst exponent estimated by Rescaled range analysis method showed reliable results. In addition, it was also expected that the variation of Hurst exponents with the monitoring period could instruct the abnormal behavior of an earth retaining structures to directors or operators. Therefore it was concluded that fractal theory could be applied for predicting the lateral displacement of unknown location and the future behavior of an earth retaining structures to manage the safety of construction sites during excavation period.
