Let K be a CW-complex of dimension 3 such that H 3(K;ℤ) = 0 and $$ M_{Q_8 } $$ the orbit space of the 3-sphere $$ \mathbb{S}^3 $$ with respect to the action of the quaternion group Q 8 determined by the inclusion Q 8 ⊆ $$ \mathbb{S}^3 $$. Given a point a ∈ $$ M_{Q_8 } $$, we show that there is no map f:K → $$ M_{Q_8 } $$ which is strongly surjective, i.e., such that MR[f,a]=min{#(g −1(a))|g ∈ [f]} ≠ 0.

The construction of nonseparable and compactly supported orthonormal wavelet bases of L 2(R n); n ≥ 2, is still a challenging and an open research problem. In this paper, we provide a special method for the construction of such wavelet bases. The wavelets constructed by this method are dyadic wavelets. Also, we show that our proposed method can be adapted for an eventual construction of multidimensional orthogonal multiwavelet matrix masks, candidates for generating multidimensional multiwavelet bases.

Our aim in this paper is mainly to prove some existence results for solutions of generalized variational-like inequalities with (η,h)-pseudo-monotone type III operators defined on non-compact sets in topological vector spaces.

In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of kernels by monochromatic paths in the corona of digraphs. Using these results, we are able to prove the main result of this paper which provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the corona of digraphs to be monochromatic kernel-perfect. Moreover we calculate the total numbers of kernels by monochromatic paths, independent by monochromatic paths sets and dominating by monochromatic paths sets in this digraphs product.

Let n, s and t be three integers with s ≥ 1, t ≥ 0 and n = 3s + 4t. Let G be a graph of order n such that the minimum degree of G is at least (n + s)/2. Then G contains a 2-factor with s + t components such that s of them are triangles and t of them are quadrilaterals.

Asymptotic expressions for remainder terms of the mid-point, trapezoid and Simpson’s rules are given. Corresponding formulas with finite sums are also given.

The initial boundary value problem for a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear damping in a bounded domain is considered. By modifying the method, which is put forward by Li, Tasi and Vitillaro, we sententiously proved that, under certain conditions, any solution blows up in finite time. The estimates of the life-span of solutions are also given. We generalize some earlier results concerning this equation.

A strongly pseudoconvex function is generalized to non-smooth settings. A complete characterization of the strongly pseudoconvex radially lower semicontinuous functions is obtained.

In 1939 Agnew presented a series of conditions that characterized the oscillation of ordinary sequences using ordinary square conservative matrices and square multiplicative matrices. The goal of this paper is to present multidimensional analogues of Agnew’s results. To accomplish this goal we begin by presenting a notion for double oscillating sequences. Using this notion along with square RH-conservative matrices and square RH-multiplicative matrices, we will present a series of characterization of this sequence space, i.e. we will present several necessary and sufficient conditions that assure us that a square RH-multiplicative(square RH-conservative) be such that $$ P - \mathop {limsup}\limits_{(m,n) \to \infty ;(\alpha ,\beta ) \to \infty } \left| {\sigma _{m,n} - \sigma _{\alpha ,\beta } } \right| \leqslant P - \mathop {limsup}\limits_{(m,n) \to \infty ;(\alpha ,\beta ) \to \infty } \left| {s_{m,n} - s_{\alpha ,\beta } } \right| $$ for each double real bounded sequences {s k;l} where $$ \sigma _{m,n} = \sum\limits_{k,l = 1,1}^{\infty ,\infty } {a_{m,n,k,l,} s_{k,l} } . $$ In addition, other implications and variations are also presented.

This paper is devoted to research on local properties of functions and multidimensional singular integrals in terms of their mean oscillation. The conditions guaranteeing existence of a derivative in the L p-sense at a given point are found. Spaces which remain invariant under singular integral operators are considered.

In this paper, the concept of multi-valued weak contraction of Berinde and Berinde [8] for the Picard iteration in a complete metric space is extended to the case of multi-valued weak contraction for the Jungck iteration in a complete b-metric space. While our main results generalize the recent results of Berinde and Berinde [8], they also extend, improve and unify several classical results pertainning to single and multi-valued contractive mappings in the fixed point theory. Our results also improve the recent results of Daffer and Kaneko [16].
