In this paper we point out an error in paper [2] and study the asymptotic behavior of the differential equation Lnx + f(t, x) = r(t). The results obtained are extensions of some of the results of [2].

A class of functions K(r) and the corresponding solutions are produced in the case of the differential equation d 2 u/dr 2 +1 du/r dr+K(r)e 2u(r) =1. The behavior of these solutions at an isolated singularity is also investigated

We observe that a strictly singular operator is not necessarily condensing, so that the invariant subspace problem for strictly singular operators remains open.

Consider the first order differential equation (1) , where pi, and τi, for i = 1,…,n, are positive constants. To find necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of the coefficients and the delays only, under which all solutions of (1) oscillate, is a problem of great importence. In a recent paper, Bowcock and Yu claimed that is a necessary and sufficient condition for all solutions of (1) to be oscillatory. In this paper a counterexample shows that the above result is not valid and the error in this paper is indicated.

I regret to announce that there is a serious error in my paper in these Transactions, volume 84, pp. 430-443. The error was discovered by Louis Kokoris who found that on line 8 of page 434 the expression given as 4[g(bz)](az) should have been 4[g(az)](bz). As a consequence the computation of P(z, g, az, b) yields nothing, the proof of formula (30) is not valid, and the important Lemma 9 is not proved. Thus the paper does not give a proof of its major result stated as Theorem 1. Nevertheless, the theorems of the paper are all correct and we shall provide a revision of the proof here. This revised proof has been checked by Louis Kokoris to whom the author wishes to express his great thanks. We observe first that the equation

Introduction. In a recent paper [2] R. H. Bruck has introduced the concept of right neoring and discussed some properties of these systems. In particular, he has considered analogues of certain properties of the ring of integers. This paper is essentially a commentary on Bruck's paper and we generalize some of his results as follows. The construction of the universal right neoring in [2] is applied to the free monogenic $3-loop in any subvariety $3 of the variety of loops and a complete analogue of Theorem 4.1 of [2] is obtained for any one of these subvarieties. Then, using a result similar to those obtained in [5], it is shown that this construction yields uncountably many right neorings with an identity which generates the additive loop of the right neoring. Conversely, every right neoring with an identity which generates its additive loop can be obtained from a free monogenic $3-loop by the above construction. Each of these right neorings has some properties resembling those of the ring of integers. One possible answer is given to the question raised by Bruck concerning the existence of universal right neorings with free additive loop of arbitrary rank. A brief proof is given, using the results of [4; 5], of the cancellation properties of the monogenic universal right neoring. Finally, we discuss briefly the relationship between right neorings and the logarithmetics of Etherington.

It is shown that the rings under the title admit an order-theoretical characterization as in the commutative case studied by Abian. Introduction. Let R be an associative ring equipped with the binary relation (^) defined by xay if and only if xy = x2 in R. In this paper, it is shown that ( ^ ) is an order relation on R if and only if, R has no nilpotent elements i9*0). Conditions on the binary relation (g) in order that R split into a direct product of division rings are then studied in the light of Abian's result (l, Theorem l). Using similar argumentation and using certain subdirect representation of rings with no nilpotent elements, one obtains a complete similarity with the commutative case (yet, no extra complication in the computa- tions). Conventions. R is an associative ring which is, unless otherwise stated, with no nilpotent elements (other than 0). As a result of (2), R can be embedded into a direct product of skewdomains, R—* YLiei £i (that is to say, rings R, having no one-sided divisors of zero). The former embedding is fixed throughout the paper. It is therefore legiti- mate to identify any element x in R with the family consisting of all its projections (xj.e/. Finally, all definitions in (l) are extended (verbatim) to the present case (of a noncommutative ring R) and are freely used throughout.

The preeminent target of present study is to reveal the speed characteristic of ongoing outbreak COVID-19 due to novel coronavirus. On January 2020, the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) detected in India, and the total statistic of cases continuously increased to 7 128 268 cases including 109 285 deceases to October 2020, where 860 601 cases are active in India. In this study, we use the Hermite wavelets basis in order to solve the COVID-19 model with time- arbitrary Caputo derivative. The discussed framework is based upon Hermite wavelets. The operational matrix incorporated with the collocation scheme is used in order to transform arbitrary-order problem into algebraic equations. The corrector scheme is also used for solving the COVID-19 model for distinct value of arbitrary order. Also, authors have investigated the various behaviors of the arbitrary-order COVID-19 system and procured developments are matched with exiting developments by various techniques. The various illustrations of susceptible, exposed, infected, and recovered individuals are given for its behaviors at the various value of fractional order. In addition, the proposed model has been also supported by some numerical simulations and wavelet-based results.

It is pointed out that the proof of the basic result of Rahmanov's paper has a serious gap. It is documented by original sources that a statement he relied on in the proof contains a misprint, and it is shown by a counterexample that this statement (with the misprint) is, in fact, false. A somewhat weaker statement is proved true.

The reading of Ayres' interesting paper suggested to me the following remarks: 1. The order of a subset of a set S in a point p4 cannot surpass the order of S in p. Hence if S2 denotes the set of all points of S of order 2, then S2 has in each point of S the order 2, the order 1, or the order 0, where the terms "order 0" and "0-dimensional" are used synonymously. SI(M), S2(1), S" may denote the set of all points of S in which S2 has the order 0, 1, 2, respectively. The points of order 2 of S are also called the ordinary points of S, and the set S2 of all ordinarv points of S may be called the ordinary part of S. The set S" of all ordinary points of the ordinary part of S may be designated the ordinary kernel of S. WVe have

Recently Cameron and Storvick introduced and studied an operator valued function space integral related to the Feynman integral. The main theorems of their study establish the existence of the function space integral as a weak operator limit of operators defined at the first stage by finite-dimensional integrals. This paper provides a substantial strengthening of their existence theorem giving the function space integrals as strong operator limits rather than as weak operator limits.

The purpose of this note is to present a new proof of a generalized form of Day's fixed point theorem. The proof we give is suggested by the work of T. Mitchell in his paper, Function algebras, means, and fixed points, [2]. The version of Day's theorem which we present here has not appeared explicitly in the literature before, and seems especially well suited for application to questions concerning fixed point properties of topological semigroups. 1. Preliminaries. We adopt the terminology and notation of [2] except where otherwise specified. New terminology will be introduced as needed. Let y be a convex compactum (compact convex set in a real locally convex linear topological space E), and let A( Y) denote the Banach space of all (real) continuous affine functions on Y under the supremum norm. Observe that A(Y) contains every function of the form h=f\Y + r where fe E* and r is real; thus A(Y) separates points of Y.

The utilisation factor for a discrete dam, defined as the stationary probability of non-emptiness of the dam just before release, is obtained for a class of models that includes the Odoom–Lloyd model, the Anis–Lloyd model, the model of Herbert, etc. The method used points to a different approach to measuring dam utilisation via the actual utilisation, which appears to be more fruitful, and this is discussed in the last section.

Let X be a locally compact and σ-compact abelian group and let denote the dual group of X. We denote by ξ a fixed Haar measure on X and by the Haar measure associated with ξ. In [2], we show the followingTheorem. Let (αt)t≧0 be a sub-Markov convolution semi-group on X and let ψ be the negative definite function associated with (αt)t≧0. Then (αt)t≧0 is transient if and only if Re (1/ψ) is locally -summable.

It is shown that a result by Moeckel holds not only for admissible subgroups of SL (2, ℤ), but also for arbitrary subgroups of finite index.

We establish the relationship between certain invariant extension properties for linear functional of K. Fan when a semigroup S acts on a locally convex topological vector space and the existence of a left-invariant mean on the space of almost periodic and weakly almost periodic functions on S.

Olkin & Vaeth (1981) consider a two-way classification model with k rows and p columns in which the residuals (ei1, ..., eip) for row i are independently distributed with a multivariate normal distribution with zero means and common covariance matrix ((ij)). They concentrate their attention particularly on the situation where the row classification corresponds to k subjects, each treated in one of two or more ways; the column classification corresponds to p repetitions, perhaps in time, from each subject, probably resulting in correlated errors. Replication of subjects within treatments enables the elements of the covariance matrix to be estimated from the data, which in turn enables maximum likelihood estimates of the row and column parameters to be computed and likelihood ratio tests to be carried out without having to make assumptions about the form of the covariance matrix. The careful analysis of data of this kind has been the subject of numerous papers, Wishart (1938) perhaps being the first to concentrate on this topic. Despite this, however, the use of erroneous methods in published material is widespread and this provided the stimulus for the publication of our earlier paper (Rowell & Walters, 1976), and also for the present communication. We note here that there is confusion in Olkin & Vaeth's row/column terminology in their worked example: the rows in their tables are referred to as columns in the text, and vice versa. In what follows, when referring to their numerical example, the rows classification will refer to the high/low factor, and the columns classification to the time factor.

A subset A A of a topological space is said to be semi-open if there exists an open set U U such that U ⊆ A ⊆ Cl ⁡ ( U ) U \subseteq A \subseteq \operatorname {Cl} (U) where Cl ⁡ ( U ) \operatorname {Cl} (U) denotes the closure of U U . The class of semi-open sets of a given topological space ( X , T ) (X,\mathcal {T}) is denoted S .O . ( X , T ) {\text {S}}{\text {.O}}{\text {.}}(X,\mathcal {T}) . In the paper Semi-open sets and semi-continuity in topological spaces, Amer. Math. Monthly 70 (1963), 36-41, Norman Levine states in Theorem 10 that if T \mathcal {T} and T ∗ {\mathcal {T}^ \ast } are two topologies for a set X X such that S .O . ( X , T ) ⊆ S .O . ( X , T ∗ ) {\text {S}}{\text {.O}}{\text {.}}(X,\mathcal {T}) \subseteq {\text {S}}{\text {.O}}{\text {.}}(X,{\mathcal {T}^ \ast }) , then T ⊆ T ∗ \mathcal {T} \subseteq {\mathcal {T}^ \ast } . In a corollary to this theorem, Levine states that if S .O . ( X , T ) = S .O . ( X , T ∗ ) {\text {S}}{\text {.O}}{\text {.}}(X,\mathcal {T}) = {\text {S}}{\text {.O}}{\text {.}}(X,{\mathcal {T}^ \ast }) , then T = T ∗ \mathcal {T} = {\mathcal {T}^ \ast } . An example is given which shows the above-mentioned theorem and its corollary are false. This paper shows how different topologies on a set which determine the same class of semi-open subsets can arise from functions, and points out some of the implications of two topologies being related in this manner.

The object of this note is to point out and correct an error in the paper [21 of Fox, purporting to prove Fenchel's conjecture that a finitely generated. infinite Fuchsian group has a torsion-free normal subgroup of finite index. Fox divided the proof of the main result in his paper into four cases and an error occurs in the proofs of Cases (III) and (IV). A direct proof of Case (III) was given. While a direct proof of Case (IV) can be given, the author shows that it also follows indirectly from the result in the paper [1] of Burns and Solitar. Given any three integers a > 1, b > 1 and c > 1, there exist permutations A of order a and B of order b, such that AB has order c. Fox divided the proof of this lemma into the four cases: (I) ab 0 (mod 2) and max{a, b} ? c < a + b, (II) ab 0 (mod 2) and c : a + b, (III) a b c 1 (mod 2), (IV) a b 1 and c 0 (mod 2), and subcases. In the subcase m(a + b 2) + 2 ? c < (m + l)(b + 1) 1 of Case (III) where m is the largest integer not exceeding (c l)/(b + 1), and it is assumed that a ? b < c, the number of distinct symbols in the permutations [2, p. 64] nl~~~W B ( Wv-sI ..

1. In a recent paper [2] Reich has made the observation that an example of Koebe given in 1918 [1] does not fulfill its asserted purpose. This example was to show that vanishing measure of the complement did not assure that a slit domain was minimal. Reich proceeded to fill the gap by carrying out the following somewhat more general construction. Let A be a compact perfect nowhere dense set on the x-axis in the z-plane (z=x+iy). Then there exists a compact set S in the z-plane with the properties: (i) A is the projection of S on the x-axis, (ii) S is composed of segments symmetric with respect to the x-axis and points on the x-axis, at least one segment being present, (iii) any point in S, not on the x-axis and not at the end of a segment in S, is the limit, both from the left and right, of points of S. Once this construction is performed the desired examples are easily given [2, ?4]. The object of the present paper is to give an alternative construction which is very explicit and direct.

The paper consists of two parts. In the first part a short proof of the main theorem due to A. Aziz on the location of zeros of composite polynomials is given. In the second part some properties of a fixed length continuation of a polynomial are deduced.

Funder: John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation; doi: https://doi.org/10.13039/100005851, Funder: Einstein Visiting Fellow Program, The Rayleigh–Bénard system with stress-free boundary conditions is shown to have a global attractor in each affine space where velocity has fixed spatial average. The physical problem is shown to be equivalent to one with periodic boundary conditions and certain symmetries. This enables a Gronwall estimate on enstrophy. That estimate is then used to bound the L 2 norm of the temperature gradient on the global attractor, which, in turn, is used to find a bounding region for the attractor in the enstrophy–palinstrophy plane. All final bounds are algebraic in the viscosity and thermal diffusivity, a significant improvement over previously established estimates. The sharpness of the bounds are tested with numerical simulations.
