The concept of an endpoint is a relatively new concept compared to the concept of a fixed point. The aim of this paper is to perform a convergence analysis of M—iteration involving α—Reich–Suzuki nonexpansive mappings. In this paper, we prove strong and Δ—convergence theorems in a hyperbolic metric space. Thus, our results generalize and improve many existing results.

In this paper, the notions of post-quantum integrals for two-variable interval-valued functions are presented. The newly described integrals are then used to prove some new Hermite-Hadamard inclusions for co-ordinated convex interval-valued functions. Many of the findings in this paper are important extensions of previous findings in the literature. Finally, we present a few examples of our new findings. Analytic inequalities of this nature and especially the techniques involved have applications in various areas in which symmetry plays a prominent role. WOS:000677046700001 2-s2.0-85110868353

In this paper we study a certain differential subordination related to the harmonic mean and its symmetry properties, in the case where a dominant is a linear function. In addition to the known general results for the differential subordinations of the harmonic mean in which the dominant was any convex function, one can study such differential subordinations for the selected convex function. In this case, a reasonable and difficult issue is to look for the best dominant or one that is close to it. This paper is devoted to this issue, in which the dominant is a linear function, and the differential subordination of the harmonic mean is a generalization of the Briot–Bouquet differential subordination.

In this paper, we present some new refinements of Hermite–Hadamard inequalities for continuous convex functions by using (p,q)-calculus. Moreover, we study some new (p,q)-Hermite–Hadamard inequalities for multiple integrals. Many results given in this paper provide extensions of others given in previous research.

Both the theory of differential subordination and its dual, the theory of differential superordination, introduced by Professors Miller and Mocanu are based on reinterpreting certain inequalities for real-valued functions for the case of complex-valued functions. Studying subordination and superordination properties using different types of operators is a technique that is still widely used, some studies resulting in sandwich-type theorems as is the case in the present paper. The fractional integral of confluent hypergeometric function is introduced in the paper and certain subordination and superordination results are stated in theorems and corollaries, the study being completed by the statement of a sandwich-type theorem connecting the results obtained by using the two theories.

The idea of inequality has been extended from the real plane to the complex plane through the notion of subordination introduced by Professors Miller and Mocanu in two papers published in 1978 and 1981. With this notion came a whole new theory called the theory of differential subordination or admissible functions theory. Later, in 2003, a particular form of inequality in the complex plane was also defined by them as dual notion for subordination, the notion of differential superordination and with it, the theory of differential superordination appeared. In this paper, the theory of differential superordination is applied to confluent hypergeometric function. Hypergeometric functions are intensely studied nowadays, the interest on the applications of those functions in complex analysis being renewed by their use in the proof of Bieberbach’s conjecture given by de Branges in 1985. Using the theory of differential superodination, best subordinants of certain differential superordinations involving confluent (Kummer) hypergeometric function are stated in the theorems and relation with previously obtained results are highlighted in corollaries using particular functions and in a sandwich-type theorem. An example is also enclosed in order to show how the theoretical findings can be applied.

Let C0(h) be a subclass of analytic and close-to-convex functions defined in the open unit disk by the formula ()(1&minus, z2)f&prime, (z)}&gt, 0. In this paper, some coefficient problems for C0(h) are considered. Some properties and bounds of several coefficient functionals for functions belonging to this class are provided. The main aim of this paper is to find estimates of the difference and of sum of successive coefficients, bounds of the sum of the first n coefficients and bounds of the n-th coefficient. The obtained results are used to determine coefficient estimates for both functions convex in the imaginary-axis direction with real coefficients and typically real functions. Moreover, the sum of the first initial coefficients for functions with a positive real part and with a fixed second coefficient is estimated.

In this paper, we extend our previous study regarding a Riemannian manifold endowed with a singular (or regular) distribution, generalizing Bochner&rsquo, s technique and a statistical structure. Following the construction of an almost Lie algebroid, we define the central concept of the paper: The Weitzenb&ouml, ck type curvature operator on tensors, prove the Bochner&ndash, Weitzenb&ouml, ck type formula and obtain some vanishing results about the null space of the Hodge type Laplacian on a distribution.

The aim of this paper was to obtain common fixed point results by using an interpolative contraction condition given by Karapinar in the setting of complete metric space. Here in this paper, we have redefined the Reich&ndash, Rus&ndash, Ćirić type contraction and Hardy&ndash, Rogers type contraction in the framework of quasi-partial b-metric space and proved the corresponding common fixed point theorem by adopting the notion of interpolation. The results are further validated with the application based on them.

Roldán López de Hierro is grateful to Junta de Andalucía by project FQM-365 of the Andalusian CICYE and Project TIN2017-89517-P of the Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad., In this paper we present some novel fixed point theorems for a family of contractions depending on two functions (that are not defined on t = 0) and on some parameters that we have called multiparametric contractions. We develop our study in the setting of b-metric spaces because they allow to consider some families of functions endowed with b-metrics deriving from similarity measures that are more general than norms. Taking into account that the contractivity condition we will employ is very general (of Hardy-Rogers type), we will discuss the validation and usage of this novel condition. After that, we introduce the main results of this paper and, finally, we deduce some consequences of them which illustrates the wide applicability of the main results., Junta de Andalucia FQM-365, Ministerio de Economia, Industria y Competitividad TIN2017-89517-P, DSR

The fundamental groups and homotopy decompositions of algebraic topology have applications in systems involving symmetry breaking with topological excitations. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the properties of homotopy decompositions in quotient topological spaces depending on the connectedness of the space and the fundamental groups. This paper presents constructions and analysis of two varieties of homotopy decompositions depending on the variations in topological connectedness of decomposed subspaces. The proposed homotopy decomposition considers connected fundamental groups, where the homotopy equivalences are relaxed and the homeomorphisms between the fundamental groups are maintained. It is considered that one fundamental group is strictly homotopy equivalent to a set of 1-spheres on a plane and as a result it is homotopy rigid. The other fundamental group is topologically homeomorphic to the first one within the connected space and it is not homotopy rigid. The homotopy decompositions are analyzed in quotient topological spaces, where the base space and the quotient space are separable topological spaces. In specific cases, the decomposed quotient space symmetrically extends Sierpinski space with respect to origin. The connectedness of fundamental groups in the topological space is maintained by open curve embeddings without enforcing the conditions of homotopy classes on it. The extended decomposed quotient topological space preserves the trivial group structure of Sierpinski space.

The aim of this paper is to give some fixed point results in generalized metric spaces in Perov&rsquo, s sense. The generalized metric considered here is the w-distance with a symmetry condition. The operators satisfy a contractive weakly condition of Hardy&ndash, Rogers type. The second part of the paper is devoted to the study of the data dependence, the well-posedness, and the Ulam&ndash, Hyers stability of the fixed point problem. An example is also given to sustain the presented results.

In this present paper we study the non-local Hadmard proportional integrals recently proposed by Rahman et al. (Advances in Difference Equations, (2019) 2019:454) which containing exponential functions in their kernels. Then we establish certain new weighted fractional integral inequalities involving a family of n ( n &isin, N ) positive functions by utilizing Hadamard proportional fractional integral operator. The inequalities presented in this paper are more general than the inequalities existing in the literature.

Some new concepts of the higher order strongly convex functions involving an arbitrary bifuction are considered in this paper. Some properties of the higher order strongly convex functions are investigated under suitable conditions. Some important special cases are discussed. The parallelogram laws for Banach spaces are obtained as applications of higher order strongly affine convex functions as novel applications. Results obtained in this paper can be viewed as refinement and improvement of previously known results.

In this paper, the class of the twice-iterated 2D q-Appell polynomials is introduced. The generating function, series definition and some relations including the recurrence relations and partial q-difference equations of this polynomial class are established. The determinant expression for the twice-iterated 2D q-Appell polynomials is also derived. Further, certain twice-iterated 2D q-Appell and mixed type special q-polynomials are considered as members of this polynomial class. The determinant expressions and some other properties of these associated members are also obtained. The graphs and surface plots of some twice-iterated 2D q-Appell and mixed type 2D q-Appell polynomials are presented for different values of indices by using Matlab. Moreover, some areas of potential applications of the subject matter of, and the results derived in, this paper are indicated.

In this paper, we use (p,q)-integral to establish some Fejér type inequalities. In particular, we generalize and correct existing results of quantum Fejér type inequalities by using new techniques and showing some problematic parts of those results. Most of the inequalities presented in this paper are significant extensions of results which appear in existing literatures.

In this paper, we prove some new Ostrowski-type integral inequalities for q-differentiable bounded functions. It is also shown that the results presented in this paper are a generalization of know results in the literarure. Applications to special means are also discussed.

In their paper published in 1990, Miller and Mocanu have investigated the special function Gaussian hypergeometric function in view of its relation to the theory of analytic functions, stating conditions for this function to be univalent using a, b, c ∈ ℝ, c ≠ 0, −1, −2, ... The study done in this paper extends the results on the univalence of the considered function taking a, b, c ∈ ℂ, with c ≠ 0, −1, −2, ... two criteria being stated in the corollaries of the proved theorems. An interpretation of the univalence results from the sets inclusion view is also given, underlining the geometrical properties of the outcomes. Examples showing how the univalence results can be applied are also included.

Based on the technique of enriching contractive type mappings, a technique that has been used successfully in some recent papers, we introduce the concept of {\it saturated} class of contractive mappings. We show that, from this perspective, the contractive type mappings in the metric fixed point theory can be separated into two distinct classes, unsaturated and saturated, and that, for any unsaturated class of mappings, the technique of enriching contractive type mappings provides genuine new fixed point results. We illustrate the concept by surveying some significant fixed point results obtained recently for five remarkable unsaturated classes of contractive mappings. In the second part of the paper, we also identify some classes of saturated classes of contractive mappings, whose main feature is that they cannot be enlarged by means of the technique of enriching the contractive mappings.

Recently, two classes of univalent functions S e * and K e were introduced and studied. A function f is in S e * if it is analytic in the unit disk, f ( 0 ) = f &prime, ( 0 ) - 1 = 0 and z f &prime, ( z ) f ( z ) ≺ e z . On the other hand, g &isin, K e if and only if z g &prime, &isin, S e * . Both classes are symmetric, or invariant, under rotations. In this paper, we solve a few problems connected with the coefficients of functions in these classes. We find, among other things, the estimates of Hankel determinants: H 2 , 1 , H 2 , 2 , H 3 , 1 . All these estimates improve the known results. Moreover, almost all new bounds are sharp. The main idea used in the paper is based on expressing the discussed functionals depending on the fixed second coefficient of a function in a given class.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a n 0 -order weighted pseudo &Delta, n 0 &delta, almost automorphic function under the matched space for time scales and we present some properties. The results are valid for q-difference dynamic equations among others. Moreover, we obtain some sufficient conditions for the existence of weighted pseudo &Delta, almost automorphic mild solutions to a class of semilinear dynamic equations under the matched space. Finally, we end the paper with a further discussion and some open problems of this topic.

In this paper, several relations are obtained among the Riemann zeta and Hurwitz zeta functions, as well as their products. A particular case of these relations give rise to a simple re-derivation of the important results of Katsurada and Matsumoto on the mean square of the Hurwitz zeta function. Also, a relation derived here provides the starting point of a novel approach which, in a series of companion papers, yields a formal proof of the Lindel&ouml, f hypothesis. Some of the above relations motivate the need for analysing the large &alpha, behaviour of the modified Hurwitz zeta function &zeta, 1 ( s , &alpha, ) , s &isin, C , &alpha, &isin, ( 0 , &infin, ) , which is also presented here.

In this paper the notion of ∗ -Weyl curvature tensor on real hypersurfaces in non-flat complex space forms is introduced. It is related to the ∗ -Ricci tensor of a real hypersurface. The aim of this paper is to provide two classification theorems concerning real hypersurfaces in non-flat complex space forms in terms of ∗ -Weyl curvature tensor. More precisely, Hopf hypersurfaces of dimension greater or equal to three in non-flat complex space forms with vanishing ∗ -Weyl curvature tensor are classified. Next, all three dimensional real hypersurfaces in non-flat complex space forms, whose ∗ -Weyl curvature tensor vanishes identically are classified. The used methods are based on tools from differential geometry and solving systems of differential equations.

By giving a counter-example, we point out a gap in the paper by Karapinar (Adv. Theory Nonlinear Anal. Its Appl. 2018, 2, 85–87) where the given fixed point may be not unique and we present the corrected version. We also state the celebrated fixed point theorem of Reich–Rus–Ćirić in the framework of complete partial metric spaces, by taking the interpolation theory into account. Some examples are provided where the main result in papers by Reich (Can. Math. Bull. 1971, 14, 121–124, Boll. Unione Mat. Ital. 1972, 4, 26–42 and Boll. Unione Mat. Ital. 1971, 4, 1–11.) is not applicable.

In this paper, we define (p,q)-integrals for continuous functions of two variables. Then, we prove the Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for coordinated convex functions by using (p,q)-integrals. Many results obtained in this paper provide significant extensions of other related results given in the literature. Finally, we give some examples of our results.

The paper is concerned with complex fuzzy numbers and complex fuzzy inner product spaces. In the classical complex number set, a complex number can be expressed using the Cartesian form or polar form. Both expressions are needed because one expression is better than the other depending on the situation. Likewise, the Cartesian form and the polar form can be defined in a complex fuzzy number set. First, the complex fuzzy numbers (CFNs) are categorized into two types, the polar form and the Cartesian form, as type I and type II. The properties of the complex fuzzy number set of those two expressions are discussed, and how the expressions can be used practically is shown through an example. Second, we study the complex fuzzy inner product structure in each category and find the non-existence of an inner product on CFNs of type I. Several properties of the fuzzy inner product space for type II are proposed from the modulus that is newly defined. Specfically, the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality for type II is proven in a compact way, not only the one for fuzzy real numbers. In fact, it was already discussed by Hasanhani et al; however, they proved every case in a very complicated way. In this paper, we prove the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality in a much simpler way from a general point of view. Finally, we introduce a complex fuzzy scalar product for the generalization of a complex fuzzy inner product and propose to study the condition for its existence on CFNs of type I.

For a non-empty class of groups L, a finite group G=AB is said to be an L-connected product of the subgroups A and B if &lang, a,b&rang, &isin, L for all a&isin, A and b&isin, B. In a previous paper, we prove that, for such a product, when L=S is the class of finite soluble groups, then [A,B] is soluble. This generalizes the theorem of Thompson that states the solubility of finite groups whose two-generated subgroups are soluble. In the present paper, our result is applied to extend to finite groups previous research about finite groups in the soluble universe. In particular, we characterize connected products for relevant classes of groups, among others, the class of metanilpotent groups and the class of groups with nilpotent derived subgroup. Additionally, we give local descriptions of relevant subgroups of finite groups.

The integral representation of the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler function E &rho, &mu, ( z ) is considered in the paper that expresses its value in terms of the contour integral. For this integral representation, the transition is made from integration over a complex variable to integration over real variables. It is shown that as a result of such a transition, the integral representation of the function E &rho, ( z ) has two forms: the representation &ldquo, A&rdquo, and &ldquo, B&rdquo, Each of these representations has its advantages and drawbacks. In the paper, the corresponding theorems are formulated and proved, and the advantages and disadvantages of each of the obtained representations are discussed.

The Opial property of Hilbert spaces is essential in many fixed point theorems of non-expansive maps. While the Opial property does not hold in every Banach space, the Bregman&ndash, Opial property does. This suggests to study fixed point theorems for various Bregman non-expansive like maps in the general Banach space setting. In this paper, after introducing the notion of Bregman generalized hybrid sequences in a reflexive Banach space, we prove (with using the Bregman&ndash, Opial property instead of the Opial property) convergence theorems for such sequences. We also provide new fixed point theorems for Bregman generalized hybrid maps defined on an arbitrary but not necessarily convex subset of a reflexive Banach space. We end this paper with a brief discussion of the existence of Bregman absolute fixed points of such maps.

An arbitrary univariate polynomial of nth degree has n sequences. The sequences are systematized into classes. All the values of the first class sequence are obtained by Newton&rsquo, s polynomial of nth degree. Furthermore, the values of all sequences for each class are calculated by Newton&rsquo, s identities. In other words, the sequences are formed without calculation of polynomial roots. The New-nacci method is used for the calculation of the roots of an nth-degree univariate polynomial using radicals and limits of successive members of sequences. In such an approach as is presented in this paper, limit play a catalytic&ndash, theoretical role. Moreover, only four basic algebraic operations are sufficient to calculate real roots. Radicals are necessary for calculating conjugated complex roots. The partial limitations of the New-nacci method may appear from the decadal polynomial. In the case that an arbitrary univariate polynomial of nth degree (n &ge, 10) has five or more conjugated complex roots, the roots of the polynomial cannot be calculated due to Abel&rsquo, s impossibility theorem. The second phase of the New-nacci method solves this problem as well. This paper is focused on solving the roots of the quintic equation. The method is verified by applying it to the quintic polynomial with all real roots and the Degen&ndash, Abel polynomial, dating from 1821.

In this paper, we introduce the notions of &alpha, almost Istrăţescu contraction of type E and of type E&lowast, inthesetting of b-metric space. The existence of fixed points for such mappings isinvestigated and some examples to illustrate the validity of the main results are considered. In the last part of the paper, we list some immediate consequences.

The aim of this paper is to enrich random fixed point theory, which is one of the cornerstones of probabilistic functional analysis. In this paper, we introduce the notions of random, comparable MT- &gamma, contraction and random, comparable Meir-Keeler contraction in the framework of complete random metric spaces. We investigate the existence of a random fixed point for these contractions. We express illustrative examples to support the presented results.

The present paper studies the fixed point property (FPP) for closed k-surfaces. We also intensively study Euler characteristics of a closed k-surface and a connected sum of closed k-surfaces. Furthermore, we explore some relationships between the FPP and Euler characteristics of closed k-surfaces. After explaining how to define the Euler characteristic of a closed k-surface more precisely, we confirm a certain consistency of the Euler characteristic of a closed k-surface and a continuous analog of it. In proceeding with this work, for a simple closed k-surface in Z 3 , say S k , we can see that both the minimal 26-adjacency neighborhood of a point x &isin, S k , denoted by M k ( x ) , and the geometric realization of it in R 3 , denoted by D k ( x ) , play important roles in both digital surface theory and fixed point theory. Moreover, we prove that the simple closed 18-surfaces M S S 18 and M S S 18 &prime, do not have the almost fixed point property (AFPP). Consequently, we conclude that the triviality or the non-triviality of the Euler characteristics of simple closed k-surfaces have no relationships with the FPP in digital topology. Using this fact, we correct many errors in many papers written by L. Boxer et al.

The hyperspace consists of all the subsets of a vector space. It is well-known that the hyperspace is not a vector space because it lacks the concept of inverse element. This also says that we cannot consider its normed structure, and some kinds of fixed point theorems cannot be established in this space. In this paper, we shall propose the concept of null set that will be used to endow a norm to the hyperspace. This normed hyperspace is clearly not a conventional normed space. Based on this norm, the concept of Cauchy sequence can be similarly defined. In addition, a Banach hyperspace can be defined according to the concept of Cauchy sequence. The main aim of this paper is to study and establish the so-called near fixed point theorems in Banach hyperspace.

Unlike the study of the fixed point property (FPP, for brevity) of retractable topological spaces, the research of the FPP of non-retractable topological spaces remains. The present paper deals with the issue. Based on order-theoretic foundations and fixed point theory for Khalimsky (K-, for short) topological spaces, the present paper studies the product property of the FPP for K-topological spaces. Furthermore, the paper investigates the FPP of various types of connected K-topological spaces such as non-K-retractable spaces and some points deleted K-topological (finite) planes, and so on. To be specific, after proving that not every one point deleted subspace of a finite K-topological plane X is a K-retract of X, we study the FPP of a non-retractable topological space Y, such as one point deleted space Y ∖ { p } .

We prove an existence result, in the separable Banach spaces setting, for second order differential inclusions of type sweeping process. This type of differential inclusion is defined in terms of normal cones and it covers many dynamic quasi-variational inequalities. In the present paper, we prove in the nonconvex case an existence result of this type of differential inclusions when the separable Banach space is assumed to be q-uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth. In our proofs we use recent results on uniformly generalized prox-regular sets. Part of the novelty of the paper is the use of the usual Lipschitz continuity of the set-valued mapping which is very easy to verify contrarily to the ones used in the previous works. An example is stated at the end of the paper, showing the application of our existence result.

The aim of this paper is to use the elementary method and the properties of the second kind Stirling numbers to study the congruence properties of a new sequence, which is closely related to Fubini polynomials and Euler numbers, and give some interesting congruences for it. This solves a problem proposed by the first author at an unpublished paper.

The object of this paper is to derive a double integral in terms of the Hurwitz–Lerch zeta function. Almost all Hurwitz–Lerch zeta functions have an asymmetrical zero-distribution. Special cases are evaluated in terms of fundamental constants. All the results in this work are new.

In this paper, we introduce a new geometric description of the manifolds of matrices of fixed rank. The starting point is a geometric description of the Grassmann manifold Gr(Rk) of linear subspaces of dimension r&lt, k in Rk, which avoids the use of equivalence classes. The set Gr(Rk) is equipped with an atlas, which provides it with the structure of an analytic manifold modeled on R(k−r)×r. Then, we define an atlas for the set Mr(Rk×r) of full rank matrices and prove that the resulting manifold is an analytic principal bundle with base Gr(Rk) and typical fibre GLr, the general linear group of invertible matrices in Rk×k. Finally, we define an atlas for the set Mr(Rn×m) of non-full rank matrices and prove that the resulting manifold is an analytic principal bundle with base Gr(Rn)×Gr(Rm) and typical fibre GLr. The atlas of Mr(Rn×m) is indexed on the manifold itself, which allows a natural definition of a neighbourhood for a given matrix, this neighbourhood being proved to possess the structure of a Lie group. Moreover, the set Mr(Rn×m) equipped with the topology induced by the atlas is proven to be an embedded submanifold of the matrix space Rn×m equipped with the subspace topology. The proposed geometric description then results in a description of the matrix space Rn×m, seen as the union of manifolds Mr(Rn×m), as an analytic manifold equipped with a topology for which the matrix rank is a continuous map.

In this paper, we introduce a new class of harmonic univalent functions with respect to k-symmetric points by using a newly-defined q-analog of the derivative operator for complex harmonic functions. For this harmonic univalent function class, we derive a sufficient condition, a representation theorem, and a distortion theorem. We also apply a generalized q-Bernardi–Libera–Livingston integral operator to examine the closure properties and coefficient bounds. Furthermore, we highlight some known consequences of our main results. In the concluding part of the article, we have finally reiterated the well-demonstrated fact that the results presented in this article can easily be rewritten as the so-called (p,q)-variations by making some straightforward simplifications, and it will be an inconsequential exercise, simply because the additional parameter p is obviously unnecessary.

The positive definiteness of even-order weakly symmetric tensors plays important roles in asymptotic stability of time-invariant polynomial systems. In this paper, we establish two Brauer-type Z-eigenvalue inclusion sets with parameters by Z-identity tensors, and show that these inclusion sets are sharper than existing results. Based on the new Z-eigenvalue inclusion sets, we propose some sufficient conditions for testing the positive definiteness of even-order weakly symmetric tensors, as well as the asymptotic stability of time-invariant polynomial systems. The given numerical experiments are reported to show the efficiency of our results.

This year, we introduced the concept of infra soft topology as a new generalization of soft topology. To complete our analysis of this space, we devote this paper to presenting the concepts of infra soft connected and infra soft locally connected spaces. We provide some descriptions for infra soft connectedness and elucidate that there is no relationship between an infra soft topological space and its parametric infra topological spaces with respect to the property of infra soft connectedness. We discuss the behaviors of infra soft connected and infra soft locally connected spaces under infra soft homeomorphism maps and a finite product of soft spaces. We complete this manuscript by defining a component of a soft point and establishing its main properties. We determine the conditions under which the number of components is finite or countable, and we discuss under what conditions the infra soft connected subsets are components.

Algebraic structures in which the property of commutativity is substituted by the mediality property are introduced. We consider (associative) graded algebras and instead of almost commutativity (generalized commutativity or $\varepsilon$-commutativity) we introduce almost mediality ("commutativity-to-mediality" ansatz). Higher graded twisted products and "deforming" brackets (being the medial analog of Lie brackets) are defined. Toyoda's theorem which connects (universal) medial algebras with abelian algebras is proven for the almost medial graded algebras introduced here. In a similar way we generalize tensor categories and braided tensor categories. A polyadic (non-strict) tensor category has an $n$-ary tensor product as an additional multiplication with $n-1$ associators of the arity $2n-1$ satisfying a $\left( n^{2}+1\right) $-gon relation, which is a polyadic analog of the pentagon axiom. Polyadic monoidal categories may contain several unit objects, and it is also possible that all objects are units. A new kind of polyadic categories (called "groupal") is defined: they are close to monoidal categories, but may not contain units: instead the querfunctor and (natural) functorial isomorphisms, the quertors, are considered (by analogy with the querelements in $n$-ary groups). The arity-nonreducible $n$-ary braiding is introduced and the equation for it is derived, which for $n=2$ coincides with the Yang-Baxter equation. Then, analogously to the first part of the paper, we introduce "medialing" instead of braiding and construct "medialed" polyadic tensor categories., Comment: 42 pages, 20 diagrams, amslatex

In this paper, we define and study the Perov fuzzy metric space and the topology induced by this space. We prove Banach contraction theorems. Moreover, we devised new results for Kramosil and Michálek fuzzy metric spaces. In the process, some results about multidimensional common fixed points as coupled/tripled common fixed point results are derived from our main results.

Symmetry between mathematical constructions is a very desired phenomena in mathematics in general, and in algebraic geometry in particular. For line arrangements, symmetry between topological characterizations and the combinatorics of the arrangement has often been studied, and the first counterexample where symmetry breaks is in dimension 13. In the first part of this paper, we shall prove that two arrangements of smooth compact manifolds of any dimension that are connected through smooth functions are homeomorphic. In the second part, we prove this in the affine case in dimension 4.

In this paper, we introduce a new contraction-type mapping and provide a fixed-point theorem which generalizes and improves some existing results in the literature. Thus, we prove that the Boyd and Wong theorem (1969) and, more recently, the fixed-point results due to Wardowski (2012), Turinici (2012), Piri and Kumam (2016), Secelean (2016), Proinov (2020), and others are consequences of our main result. An application in integral equations and some illustrative examples are indicated.

Let H be a finite Hopf C*-algebra and A a C*-algebra of finite dimension. In this paper, we focus on the crossed product A⋊H arising from the action of H on A, which is a ∗-algebra. In terms of the faithful positive Haar measure on a finite Hopf C*-algebra, one can construct a linear functional on the ∗-algebra A⋊H, which is further a faithful positive linear functional. Here, the complete positivity of a positive linear functional plays a vital role in the argument. At last, we conclude that the crossed product A⋊H is a C*-algebra of finite dimension according to a faithful ∗- representation.

Let (C,E,s) be an extriangulated category with a proper class ξ of E-triangles and X a resolving subcategory of C. In this paper, we introduce the notion of X-resolution dimension relative to the subcategory X in C, and then give some descriptions of objects with finite X-resolution dimension. In particular, we obtain Auslander-Buchweitz approximations for these objects. As applications, we construct adjoint pairs for two kinds of inclusion functors, and construct a new resolving subcategory from a given resolving subcategory which reformulates some known results.

In this paper we first introduce multilinear fractional wavelet transform on Rn×R+n using Schwartz functions, i.e., infinitely differentiable complex-valued functions, rapidly decreasing at infinity. We also give multilinear fractional Fourier transform and prove the Hausdorff–Young inequality and Paley-type inequality. We then study boundedness of the multilinear fractional wavelet transform on Lebesgue spaces and Lorentz spaces.

Warped products are the most natural and fruitful generalization of Riemannian products. Such products play very important roles in differential geometry and in general relativity. After Bishop and O’Neill’s 1969 article, there have been many works done on warped products from intrinsic point of view during the last fifty years. In contrast, the study of warped products from extrinsic point of view was initiated around the beginning of this century by the first author in a series of his articles. In particular, he established an optimal inequality for an isometric immersion of a warped product N1×fN2 into any Riemannian manifold Rm(c) of constant sectional curvature c which involves the Laplacian of the warping function f and the squared mean curvature H2 . Since then, the study of warped product submanifolds became an active research subject, and many papers have been published by various geometers. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive survey on the study of warped product submanifolds which are closely related with this inequality, done during the last two decades.
