We consider a non-associative generalization of MV-algebras. The underlying posets of our non-associative MV-algebras are not lattices, but they are related to so-called λ-lattices.

Strengthened fixed point property for ordered sets is formulated. It is weaker than the strong fixed point property due to Duffus and Sauer and stronger than the product property meaning that A × Y has the fixed point property whenever A has the former and Y has the latter. In particular, doubly chain complete ordered sets with no infinite antichain have the strengthened fixed point property whenever they have the fixed point property, which yields a transparent proof of the well-known theorem saying that doubly chain complete ordered sets with no infinite antichain have the product property whenever they have the fixed point property. The new proof does not require the axiom of choice.

Bounded commutative residuated lattice ordered monoids (Rℓ-monoids) are a common generalization of, e.g., Heyting algebras and BL-algebras, i.e., algebras of intuitionistic logic and basic fuzzy logic, respectively. Modal operators (special cases of closure operators) on Heyting algebras were studied in [MacNAB, D. S.: Modal operators on Heyting algebras, Algebra Universalis 12 (1981), 5–29] and on MV-algebras in [HARLENDEROVÁ,M.—RACHŮNEK, J.: Modal operators on MV-algebras, Math. Bohem. 131 (2006), 39–48]. In the paper we generalize the notion of a modal operator for general bounded commutative Rℓ-monoids and investigate their properties also for certain derived algebras.

In this note we are going to show that if M is a left module over a left noetherian ring R of the infinite cardinality λ ≥ |R|, then its injective hull E(M) is of the same size. Further, if M is an injective module with |M| ≥ (2λ)+ and K ≤ M is its submodule such that |M/K| ≤ λ, then K contains an injective submodule L with |M/L| ≤ 2λ. These results are applied to modules which are torsionfree with respect to a given hereditary torsion theory and generalize the results obtained by different methods in author’s previous papers: [A note on pure subgroups, Contributions to General Algebra 12. Proceedings of the Vienna Conference, June 3–6, 1999, Verlag Johannes Heyn, Klagenfurt, 2000, pp. 105–107], [Pure subgroups, Math. Bohem. 126 (2001), 649–652].

Let Λ = (λk) be a sequence of non-zero complex numbers. In this paper we introduce the strongly almost convergent generalized difference sequence spaces associated with multiplier sequences i.e. w 0[A,Δm,Λ,p], w 1[A,Λm,Λ,p], w ∞[A,Δm,Λ,p] and study their different properties. We also introduce ΔΛm-statistically convergent sequences and give some inclusion relations between w 1[Δm,λ,p] convergence and ΔΛm-statistical convergence.

In the present paper we study the Bézier variant of the well known Balazs-Kantorovich operators L n,α(f,x), α ≥ 1. We establish the rate of convergence for functions of bounded variation. For particular value α = 1, our main theorem completes a result due to Agratini [Math. Notes (Miskolc) 2 (2001), 3–10].

In [ANISZCZYK, B.-FRANKIEWICZ, R.: Non homeomorphic density topologies, Bull. Polish Acad. Sci. Math. 34 (1986), 211–213] the authors constructed 2c non-homeomorphic density topologies tied to the concept of measure. In [WROŃSKI, S.: The number of non-homeomorphic I-density topologies. Institute of Mathematics of Polish Academy of Sciences. Preprint 482, December 1990, XXXIV Semester in Banach Center, Theory of Real Functions] an analogous construction has been given for topologies tied to the concept of category. Here we present a generalization containing both the results mentioned above. This generalization based only on the topological ideas is independent of the concept of measure or category.

Stability of some classes of filters under the (infinite, Tikhonov) product operation is investigated. Applications to productivity of some types of set valued maps are given.

Strong laws are established for linear statistics that are weighted sums of a $$\tilde \rho $$ -mixing random sample. The results obtained generalize the results of Baxter et al. [SLLN for weighted independent indentically distributed random variables, J. Theoret. Probab. 17 (2004), 165–181] to $$\tilde \rho $$ -mixing random variables.

Sufficiency is one of the fundamental notions in mathematical statistics. In connection with the general linear Gauss-Markov model GM (y,Xβ, σ 2 V), there are some modifications of this notion such as linear sufficiency (Baksalary and Kala, Drygas) invariant linearly sufficiency (Oktaba, Kornacki, Wawrzosek) and quadratic sufficiency (Mueller). All these variants denote such transformations of the model GM that preserve properties essential in statistical inference. In the present paper we give mutual relations between above three classes of statistics.

It is natural to expect that lacunary almost convergence must be related to the some concept of lacunary almost bounded variations in the some view as almost convergence is related to almost bounded variation. The purpose of this paper is to examine this new concept in some details. Some inclusion theorems have been established.
