In this note, we make two revisions of the paper [2]. The first one is the asymptotic behavior of the energy functional as $$t\rightarrow T$$ (see [2, Theorem 1.6]), where T is the blow-up time. The second one is the equivalent conditions for the solutions blowing up in finite time or existing globally (see [2, Theorem 1.8]).

We indicate how recent results of Grafakos and Teschl (J Fourier Anal Appl 19:167–179, 2013), and Estrada (J Fourier Anal Appl 20:301–320, 2014), relating the Fourier transform of a radial function in $$\mathbb R^n$$ and the Fourier transform of the same function in $$\mathbb R^{n+2}$$ and $$\mathbb R^{n+1}$$ , respectively, are located within known results on transplantation for Hankel transforms.

An error has been detected (and also corrected) in Theorem 2.8 of the paper entitled “Adjoining an Order Unit to a Matrix Ordered Space” (Positivity, (2005)9: 207–223; DOI 10.1007/s11117-003-2778-5). Accordingly, some of the results of the paper have been modified. Also, a notion of C*-matricially, Riesz normed spaces has been introduced.

We generalize a result of F. Luca and A. Sankaranarayanan by proving that the set of n for which ϕ(1) + + ϕ(n) is squareful is of zero density. A similar statement holds for σ (n) instead of ϕ(n) and for some other multiplicative functions.

We considered in Example 3.1 of the paper [1] an S-structure on R2n+s . We concluded that when s > 1 this manifold cannot be of constant φ-sectional curvature. Unfortunately this result is wrong. In fact, essentially due to a sign mistake in defining the φ-structure and a consequent transposition of the elements of the φ-basis (3.2), some of the Christoffel’s symbols were incorrect. In the present rectification, using a more slendler tecnique, we prove that our manifold is of constant φ-sectional curvature −3s and then it is η-Einstein.

Månsson and Shukur (Econ Model 28:1475–1481, 2011) proposed a Poisson ridge regression estimator (PRRE) to reduce the negative effects of multicollinearity. However, a weakness of the PRRE is its relatively large bias. Therefore, as a remedy, Türkan and Özel (J Appl Stat 43:1892–1905, 2016) examined the performance of almost unbiased ridge estimators for the Poisson regression model. These estimators will not only reduce the consequences of multicollinearity but also decrease the bias of PRRE and thus perform more efficiently. The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to derive the mean square error properties of the Modified Almost Unbiased PRRE (MAUPRRE) and Almost Unbiased PRRE (AUPRRE) and then propose new ridge estimators for MAUPRRE and AUPRRE. Secondly, to compare the performance of the MAUPRRE with the AUPRRE, PRRE and maximum likelihood estimator. Using both simulation study and real-world dataset from the Swedish football league, it is evidenced that one of the proposed, MAUPRRE ($$ \hat{k}_{q4} $$ k ^ q 4 ) performed better than the rest in the presence of high to strong (0.80–0.99) multicollinearity situation.

This paper deals with Schrodinger operators as they were treated by Kato - Ikebe [3]. It is shown that every element of the domain of definition of the adjoint of such an operator has locally square integrable distributional derivatives up to the order 2. For this the potential of the Schrodinger operator must fulfil a local Stummel condition; if the potential is only locally square integrable a somewhat weaker statement is possible for three dimensions (see remark 2 at the end of this paper).

Why do I think that Z.v.G.II was an epoch-making paper? (1) It was the paradigm for subsequent efforts to classify the possible structures for any mathematical object. Hawkins [15] documents the fact that Killing’s paper was the immediate inspiration for the work of Cartan, Molien, and Maschke on the structure of linearassociative algebras which culminated in Wedderburn’s theorems. Killing’s success was certainly an example which gave Richard Brauer the will to persist in the attempt to classify simple groups. (2) Weyl’s theory of the representation of semi-simple Lie groups would have been impossible without ideas, results, and methods originated by Killing in Z.v.G.II. Weyl’s fusion of global and local analysis laid the basis for the work of Harish-Chandra and the flowering of abstract harmonic analysis. (3) The whole industry of root systems evinced in the writings of I. Macdonald, V. Kac, R. Moody, and others started with Killing. For the latest see [21]. (4) The Weyl group and the Coxeter transformation are in Z.v.G.II. There they are realized not as orthogonal motions of Euclidean space but as permutations of the roots. In my view, this is the proper way to think of them for general Kac-Moody algebras. Further, the conditions for symmetrisability which play a key role in Kac’s book [17] are given on p. 21 of Z.v.G.II. (5) It was Killing who discovered the exceptional Lie algebra E8, which apparently is the main hope for saving Super-String Theory—not that I expect it to be saved! (6) Roughly one third of the extraordinary work of Elie Cartan was based more or less directly on Z.v.G.II.

The aim of this short note is to improve some recent results of B. Grunbaum by some remarks. We use Grunbaum's notations.

The dynamic response of an infinite, elastic plate to a steadily moving transverse force is studied under the so-called improved plate theory. Analytic solutions for the subsonic and the intersonic cases are obtained using the method of integral transforms. The usual difficulty of the nonuniqueness of the steady-state solutions is circumvented by formulating the problems as initial value problems and then seeking the large time limits of the solutions of such initial value problems. The subsonic and intersonic solutions obtained here are similar to that obtained previously for the supersonic case. However, in contrast with the supersonic solution, which contains two families of Mach lines, the subsonic solution contains no Mach lines and the intersonic solution contains only one family of Mach lines.

We investigate the asymptotic properties of the trajectories generated by a second-order dynamical system with Hessian driven damping and a Tikhonov regularization term in connection with the minimization of a smooth convex function in Hilbert spaces. We obtain fast convergence results for the function values along the trajectories. The Tikhonov regularization term enables the derivation of strong convergence results of the trajectory to the minimizer of the objective function of minimum norm.

We propose a complete-search algorithm for solving a class of non-convex, possibly infinite-dimensional, optimization problems to global optimality. We assume that the optimization variables are in a bounded subset of a Hilbert space, and we determine worst-case run-time bounds for the algorithm under certain regularity conditions of the cost functional and the constraint set. Because these run-time bounds are independent of the number of optimization variables and, in particular, are valid for optimization problems with infinitely many optimization variables, we prove that the algorithm converges to an \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\varepsilon $$\end{document}ε-suboptimal global solution within finite run-time for any given termination tolerance \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\varepsilon > 0$$\end{document}ε>0. Finally, we illustrate these results for a problem of calculus of variations.

In this short paper we study the d-Hermite condition about stably free modules for skew $$\textit{PBW}$$ extensions. For this purpose, we estimate the stable rank of these non-commutative rings. In addition, and closely related with these questions, we will prove Kronecker’s theorem about the radical of finitely generated ideals for some particular types of skew $$\textit{PBW}$$ extensions.

In this paper, we consider the Laplace operator in a flat band whose lower boundary periodically oscillates under the Dirichlet boundary condition. The period and the amplitude of oscillations are two independent small parameters. The main result obtained in the paper is the absence of internal lacunas in the lower part of the spectrum of the operator for sufficiently small period and amplitude. We obtain explicit upper estimates of the period and amplitude in the form of constraints with specific numerical constants. The length of the lower part of the spectrum, in which the absence of lacunas is guaranteed, is also expressed explicitly in terms of the period function and the amplitude.

The study of the Dirichlet problem in the unit disk 𝔻 with arbitrary measurable data for harmonic functions is due to the famous dissertation of Luzin [31]. Later on, the known monograph of Vekua [48] has been devoted to boundary-value problems (only with Holder continuous data) for the generalized analytic functions, i.e., continuous complex valued functions h(z) of the complex variable z = x + iy with generalized first partial derivatives by Sobolev satisfying equations of the form 𝜕zh + ah + b $$ \overline{h} $$ = c ; where it was assumed that the complex valued functions a; b and c belong to the class Lp with some p > 2 in smooth enough domains D in ℂ. The present paper is a natural continuation of our previous articles on the Riemann, Hilbert, Dirichlet, Poincar´e and, in particular, Neumann boundary-value problems for quasiconformal, analytic, harmonic, and the so-called A−harmonic functions with boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. Here, we extend the corresponding results to the generalized analytic functions h : D → ℂ with the sources g : 𝜕zh = g ∈ Lp, p > 2 , and to generalized harmonic functions U with sources G : △U = G ∈ Lp, p > 2. This paper contains various theorems on the existence of nonclassical solutions of the Riemann and Hilbert boundary-value problems with arbitrary measurable (with respect to logarithmic capacity) data for generalized analytic functions with sources. Our approach is based on the geometric (theoretic-functional) interpretation of boundary-values in comparison with the classical operator approach in PDE. On this basis, it is established the corresponding existence theorems for the Poincar´e problem on directional derivatives and, in particular, for the Neumann problem to the Poisson equations △U = G with arbitrary boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. These results can be also applied to semilinear equations of mathematical physics in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media.

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the energy-critical inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrodinger equation $$i\partial _{t}u+\Delta u=\lambda |x|^{-\alpha }|u|^{\beta }u$$ in $$H^1$$ . The well-posedness theory in $$H^1$$ has been intensively studied in recent years, but the currently known approaches do not work for the critical case $$\beta =(4-2\alpha )/(n-2)$$ . It is still an open problem. The main contribution of this paper is to develop the theory in this case.

The aim of this paper is to apply trigonometric functions with functional equations of generating functions. Using the resulted new equations and formulas from this application, we obtain many special numbers and polynomials such as the Stirling numbers, Bernoulli and Euler type numbers, the array polynomials, the Catalan numbers, and the central factorial numbers. We then introduce combinatorial sums related to these special numbers and polynomials. Moreover, we gave some remarks that relates our new findings from this paper to the relations found in earlier studies.

In this paper, we establish the global existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Cauchy problem of a one-dimensional compressible isentropic Euler system for a Chaplygin gas with large initial data in the space L loc 1 . The hypotheses on the initial data may be the least requirement to ensure the existence of a weak solution in the Lebesgue measurable sense. The novelty and also the essence of the difficulty of the problem lie in the fact that we have neither the requirement on the local boundedness of the density nor that which is bounded away from vacuum. We develop the previous results on this degenerate system. The method used is Lagrangian representation, the essence of which is characteristic analysis. The key point is to prove the existence of the Lagrangian representation and the absolute continuity of the potentials constructed with respect to the space and the time variables. We achieve this by finding a property of the fundamental theorem of calculus for Lebesgue integration, which is a sufficient and necessary condition for judging whether a monotone continuous function is absolutely continuous. The assumptions on the initial data in this paper are believed to also be necessary for ruling out the formation of Dirac singularity of density. The ideas and techniques developed here may be useful for other nonlinear problems involving similar difficulties.

A classical theorem of Koksma states that for Lebesgue almost every $x>1$ the sequence $(x^n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one. In the present paper we extend Koksma's theorem to the pair correlation setting. More precisely, we show that for Lebesgue almost every $x>1$ the pair correlations of the fractional parts of $(x^n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ are asymptotically Poissonian. The proof is based on a martingale approximation method., Version 2: some minor changes. The paper will appear in the Israel Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study the concomitants of m-generalized order statistics (m-GOSs) and m-dual generalized order statistics (m-DGOSs) from bivariate Cambanis family with nonzero parameter values as an extension of several recent papers. Moreover, we derive some information measures, namely the Shannon entropy, Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence and Fisher information number (FIN) for the concomitants of m-GOSs, when $$m>-1,$$ and record values, for $$m=-1.$$ Also, the joint distribution of concomitants of m-GOSs and record values for this family are studied. Besides, some useful recurrence relations between moments of concomitants are obtained. Finally, the ordinary order statistics (OOSs), record values and sequential order statistics (SOSs) as subclasses of m-GOSs, as well as the progressive type II censored order statistics (POSs) as a more general subclass of GOSs, are separately discussed.

This paper is devoted to the stochastic properties of dynamical systems preserving an infinite measure. More precisely we prove central limit theorems for Birkhoff sums of observables of ℤ2-extensions of dynamical systems (satisfying some nice spectral properties). The motivation of our paper is the ℤ2-periodic Lorentz process for which we establish a functional central limit theorem for Holder continuous observables (in discrete time as well as in continuous time).

In this paper, we study an extension of the split equality equilibrium problem called the extended split equality equilibrium problem. We give an iterative algorithm for approximating a solution of extended split equality equilibrium and fixed point problems and obtained a strong convergence result in a real Hilbert space. We further applied our result to solve extended split equality monotone variational inclusion and equilibrium problems. The result of this paper complements and extends results on split equality equilibrium problems in the literature.

In this paper, Spectral Galerkin Method is applied for Cauchy problem of Helmholtz and Laplace equations in the regular domains. It is well known that these problems have severely ill-posed solutions. Accordingly, regularization methods are required to overcome the ill-posedness issue. In this paper, we utilize the regularization method based upon mapped methods. These methods include Tikhonov and truncated singular value decomposition methods and additionally several new filters of regularization which are introduced. Finally, some test examples are given to demonstrate the capability and efficiency of the proposed method.

In order to construct global solutions to two-dimensional (2D for short) Riemann problems for nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, it is important to study various types of wave interactions. This paper deals with two types of wave interactions for a 2D nonlinear wave system with a nonconvex equation of state: Rarefaction wave interaction and shock-rarefaction composite wave interaction. In order to construct solutions to these wave interactions, the authors consider two types of Goursat problems, including standard Goursat problem and discontinuous Goursat problem, for a 2D self-similar nonlinear wave system. Global classical solutions to these Goursat problems are obtained by the method of characteristics. The solutions constructed in the paper may be used as building blocks of solutions of 2D Riemann problems.

In this paper, we prove the weak convergence of a modified extragradient algorithm for solving a variational inequality problem involving a pseudomonotone operator in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. Moreover, we establish further the R-linear rate of the convergence of the proposed algorithm with the assumption of error bound. Several numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the convergence behaviour of the new algorithm in comparisons with others. The results obtained in the paper have extended some recent results in the literature.

In this paper, we provide the boundedness property of the Riesz transforms associated to the Schrodinger operator $${\cal L} = \Delta + {\bf{V}}$$ in a new weighted Morrey space which is the generalized version of many previous Morrey type spaces. The additional potential V considered in this paper is a non-negative function satisfying the suitable reverse Holder’s inequality. Our results are new and general in many cases of problems. As an application of the boundedness property of these singular integral operators, we obtain some regularity results of solutions to Schrodinger equations in the new Morrey space.

Let H2(ⅅ2) be the Hardy space over the bidisk ⅅ2, and let Mψ,ϕ = [(ψ(z) − ϕ(w))2] be the submodule generated by (ψ(z) − ϕ(w))2, where ψ(z) and ϕ(w) are nonconstant inner functions. The related quotient module is denoted by Nψ,ϕ = H2(ⅅ2) ⊖ Mψ,ϕ. In this paper, we give a complete characterization for the essential normality of Nψ,ϕ. In particular, if ψ(z)= z, we simply write Mψ,ϕ and Nψ,ϕ as Mϕ and Nϕ respectively. This paper also studies compactness of evaluation operators L(0)∣nϕ and R(0)ϕnϕ, essential spectrum of compression operator Sz on Nϕ, essential normality of compression operators Sz and Sw on Nϕ.

During half a century, singular traces on ideals of Hilbert space operators have been constructed by looking for linear forms on associated sequence ideals. Only recently, the author was able to eliminate this auxiliary step by directly applying Banach’s version of the extension theorem; see (Integral Equ. Oper. Theory 91, 21, 2019 and 92, 7, 2020). Of course, the relationship between the new approach and the older ones must be investigated. In the first paper, this was done for $${\mathfrak {L}}_{1,\infty } (H)$$ . To save space, such considerations were postponed in the second paper, which deals with a large class of principal ideals, called simply generated. This omission will now be rectified.

The subject of the present paper is to study the stability of a class of laminated Timoshenko-type systems in the whole line $$\mathbb {R}$$ combined with a heat conduction given by Gurtin–Pipkin’s law and acting only on one equation of the laminated Timoshenko-type system. The main result of this paper shows that the thermoelastic dissipation generated by Gurtin–Pipkin’s law is strong enough to stabilize the system at least polynomially, even if only the second or the third equation of the laminated Timoshenko-type system is controlled and the two other ones are free. When only the first equation of the laminated Timoshenko-type system is controlled, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the polynomial stability. The polynomial decays in the $$L^2$$ -norm of the solution, and its higher-order derivatives with respect to the space variable are specified in terms of the regularity of the initial data and some connections between the coefficients. An application to the particular case of Timoshenko-type systems is also given. The proofs are based on the energy method and Fourier analysis combined with some well-chosen weight functions.

This paper provides an iterative construction for a common solution associated with the pseudomonotone equilibrium problems, fixed point problem of a finite family $$\eta $$ -demimetric operators and the generalized split null point problem in Hilbert spaces. The sequence of approximants is a variant of the parallel shrinking extragradient algorithm with the inertial effect converging strongly to the optimal common solution under suitable set of control conditions. The viability of the approximants is demonstrated for various theoretical as well as numerical results. The results presented in this paper improve various existing results in the current literature.

Recently, the authors have established $$L^p$$ -boundedness of vector-valued q-variational inequalities for averaging operators which take values in the Banach space satisfying the martingale cotype q property in Hong and Ma (Math Z 286(1–2):89–120, 2017). In this paper, we prove that the martingale cotype q property is also necessary for the vector-valued q-variational inequalities, which was a question left open in the previous paper. Moreover, we also prove that the UMD property and the martingale cotype q property can be characterized in terms of vector valued q-variational inequalities for the Hilbert transform.

This paper is an exposition of some results on calculation of the K-functional which have number of applications of interpolation theory. In particular some recent problems in image processing and singular integral operators require the computation of suitable K-functionals. In this paper we will give some results concerning the equivalence of a K-functional and the modulus of smoothness constructed by the generalized Steklov function. We mention here that we have generalized the Steklov’s function for Fourier transform to quaternion linear canonical transform. This paper generalizes also Titchmarsh’s theorem for measurable sets from complex domain to hyper complex domain by using quaternion algebras, associated with the quaternion linear canonical transform.

In this paper, we study questions related to the theory of stochastic processes on Lie nilpotent groups. In particular, we consider the stochastic process on the Heisenberg group H3(ℝ) whose trajectories satisfy the horizontal conditions in the stochastic sense relative to the standard contact structure on H3 (ℝ). It is shown that this process is a homogeneous Markov process relative to the Heisenberg group operation. There was found a representation in the form of a Wiener integral for a one-parameter linear semigroup of operators for which the Heisenberg sublaplacian generated by basis vector fields of the corresponding Lie algebra L(H3) is producing. The main method of solving the problem in this paper is using the path integrals technique, which indicates the common direction of further development of the results.

This paper is concerned with one-dimensional derivative quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation, $${\rm{i}}u_t-u_{xx}+{\rm{i}}(|u|^4u)_x=0, \;\; x\in\mathbb{T}.$$ The existence of a large amount of quasi-periodic solutions with two frequencies for this equation is established. The proof is based on partial Birkhoff normal form technique and an unbounded KAM theorem. We mention that in the present paper the mean value of u does not need to be zero, but small enough, which is different from the assumption (1.7) in Geng-Wu [J. Math. Phys., 53, 102702 (2012)].

In the first part of this paper, we propose purely sequential and k-stage (k ≥ 3) procedures for estimation of the mean μ of an inverse Gaussian distribution having prescribed ‘proportional closeness’. The problem is constructed in such a manner that the boundedness of the expected loss is equivalent to the estimation of parameter with given ‘proportional closeness’. We obtain the associated second-order approximations for both the procedures. Second part of this paper deals with developing the minimum risk and bounded risk point estimation problems for estimating the mean μ of an inverse Gaussian distribution having unknown scale parameter λ. We propose an useful family of loss functions for both the problems and our aim is to control the associated risk functions. Moreover, we establish the failure of fixed sample size procedures to deal with these problems and hence propose purely sequential and k-stage (k ≥ 3) procedures to estimate the mean μ. We also obtain the second-order approximations associated with our sequential procedures. Further, we provide extensive sets of simulation studies and real data analysis to show the performances of our proposed procedures.

This paper is based mainly on Titchmarsh’s theorem (Introduction to the theory of Fourier integrals. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1937, Theorem 84) in the one-dimensional case. Abilov et al. (Comput Math Math Phys 48:2146, 2008) proved two useful estimates for the Fourier transform in the space of square integral multivariable functions on certain classes of functions characterized by the generalized continuity modulus, and these estimates are proved by Abilovs for only two variables, using a translation operator. The purpose of this paper is to study these estimates for Quaternion Fourier transforms, also the functions satisfy Lipschitz conditions of certain orders. Thus we study the Quaternion Fourier transforms of Lipschitz function in the functions space $$L^r({\mathbb {R}}^{2},{\mathcal {H}})$$, where $${\mathcal {H}}$$ a quaternion algebra which will be specified in due course.

The elliptic integrals are of interest in various disciplines. While series solutions do exist for complete elliptic integrals, there are no deduced series solutions for Incomplete elliptic integrals, in terms of the special functions. This paper provides novel solutions of the Legendre forms of incomplete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds in terms of the Euler’s gamma functions. The paper also proposes new solutions to inverse trigonometric functions, which has never been known till date.

In the present paper, we investigate the existence and regularity of weak solutions for $$\psi $$ -Hilfer fractional boundary value problem in $$\mathbb {C}^{\alpha ,\beta ;\psi }_{2}$$ and $$\mathcal {H}$$ (Hilbert space) spaces, using extension of the Lax–Milgram theorem. In this sense, to finalize the paper, we discuss the integration by parts for $$\psi $$ -Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and $$\psi $$ -Hilfer fractional derivative.

In this paper, we have pointed out that the proof of Theorem 11 in the recent paper (Lafhim in Positivity, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11117-019-00685-1 ) is erroneous. Using techniques from variational analysis, we propose other proofs to detect necessary optimality conditions in terms of Karush–Kuhn–Tucker multipliers. Our main results are given in terms of the limiting subdifferentials and the limiting normal cones. Completely detailed first order necessary optimality conditions are then given in the smooth setting while using the generalized differentiation calculus of Mordukhovich.

The basic aim of this paper is to provide a fundamental tool, the resolvent decomposition theorem, in the construction theory of denumerable Markov processes. We present a detailed analytic proof of this extremely useful tool and explain its clear probabilistic interpretation. We then apply this tool to investigate the basic problems of existence and uniqueness criteria for denumerable Markov processes with instantaneous states to which few results have been obtained even until now. Although the complete answers regarding these existence and uniqueness criteria will be given in a subsequent paper, we shall, in this paper, present part solutions of these very important problems that are closely linked with the subtle Williams S and N conditions.

We prove a new effective Chebotarev density theorem for Galois extensions $L/\mathbb{Q}$ that allows one to count small primes (even as small as an arbitrarily small power of the discriminant of $L$); this theorem holds for the Galois closures of "almost all" number fields that lie in an appropriate family of field extensions. Previously, applying Chebotarev in such small ranges required assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. The error term in this new Chebotarev density theorem also avoids the effect of an exceptional zero of the Dedekind zeta function of $L$, without assuming GRH. We give many different "appropriate families," including families of arbitrarily large degree. To do this, we first prove a new effective Chebotarev density theorem that requires a zero-free region of the Dedekind zeta function. Then we prove that almost all number fields in our families yield such a zero-free region. The innovation that allows us to achieve this is a delicate new method for controlling zeroes of certain families of non-cuspidal $L$-functions. This builds on, and greatly generalizes the applicability of, work of Kowalski and Michel on the average density of zeroes of a family of cuspidal $L$-functions. A surprising feature of this new method, which we expect will have independent interest, is that we control the number of zeroes in the family of $L$-functions by bounding the number of certain associated fields with fixed discriminant. As an application of the new Chebotarev density theorem, we prove the first nontrivial upper bounds for $\ell$-torsion in class groups, for all integers $\ell \geq 1$, applicable to infinite families of fields of arbitrarily large degree., Comment: 52 pages. This shorter version aligns with the published paper. Note that portions of Section 8 of the longer v1 have been developed as a separate paper with identifier arXiv:1902.02008

In this paper, we study the concomitants of m-dual generalized order statistics (and consequently m-generalized order statistics) from Huang–Kotz Farlie–Gumble–Morgenstern bivariate distribution as an extension of several recent papers. Some well-known information measures, the Shannon entropy, the Kullback–Leibler distance and the Fisher information number, are derived. Moreover, some useful recurrence relations between single and product moments of concomitants are obtained. Finally, an application of these results is given for bivariate generalized exponential distribution.
