The crossing numbers of Cartesian products of paths, cycles or stars with all graphs of order at most four are known. The crossing numbers of G□C n for some graphs G on five and six vertices and the cycle C n are also given. In this paper, we extend these results by determining the crossing number of the Cartesian product G □ C n, where G is a specific graph on six vertices.

The notion of relatively uniform convergence has been applied in the theory of vector lattices and in the theory of archimedean lattice ordered groups. Let G be an abelian lattice ordered group. In the present paper we introduce the notion of weak relatively uniform convergence (wru-convergence, for short) on G generated by a system M of regulators. If G is archimedean and M = G +, then this type of convergence coincides with the relative uniform convergence on G. The relation of wru-convergence to the o-convergence is examined. If G has the diagonal property, then the system of all convex ℓ-subgroups of G closed with respect to wru-limits is a complete Brouwerian lattice. The Cauchy completeness with respect to wru-convergence is dealt with. Further, there is established that the system of all wru-convergences on an abelian divisible lattice ordered group G is a complete Brouwerian lattice.

We investigate the sequence of integers x 1, x 2, x 3, … lying in {0, 1, …, [β]} in a so-called Rényi β-expansion of unity 1 = $\sum\limits_{j = 1}^\infty {x_j \beta ^{ - j} } $ for rational and transcendental numbers β > 1. In particular, we obtain an upper bound for two strings of consecutive zeros in the β-expansion of unity for rational β. For transcendental numbers β which are badly approximable by algebraic numbers of every large degree and bounded height, we obtain an upper bound for the Diophantine exponent of the sequence X = (xj)j=1∞ in terms of β.

We study neighborhoods with respect to a categorical closure operator. In particular, we discuss separation and compactness obtained from neighborhoods in a natural way and compare them with the usual closure separation and closure compactness. We also introduce a concept of convergence based on using centered systems of subobjects, which naturally generalizes the classical filter convergence in topological spaces. We investigate behavior of the convergence introduced and show, among others, that it relates to the separation and compactness in natural ways.

In the family of all measures equivalent to the Borel measure µ defined in a metric space X, we look for measures generating the same density points (preserving µ-density at fixed point x 0 ∈ X).

In this paper we study absolutely continuous and σ-finite variational measures corresponding to Mawhin, F- and BV -integrals. We obtain characterization of these σ-finite variational measures similar to those obtained in the case of standard variational measures. We also give a new proof of the Radon-Nikodým theorem for these measures.

By making use of critical-point theory, some new solvability conditions for boundary value problems of second-order discrete systems with a parameter are obtained.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the spaces of sequences that are strongly almost (ω, λ, q)-summable with respect to a modulus function. We give some relations related to these sequence spaces. It is also shown that if a sequence is strongly (ω, λ, q)-summable with respect to a modulus function, then it is S(λ q)-statistically convergent.

In this paper, we define the new generalized difference sequence spaces [V, λ, F, p, q]0(Δvm), [V, λ, F, p, q]1(Δvm) and [V, λ, F, p, q]∞(Δvm). We also study some inclusion relations between these spaces.

In the present paper, we propose a modification of the integrated Szász-Mirakyan operators having the weight function of general Beta basis function. We study some direct results on the modified operators. It is also observed that our modified operators have better estimates over the original operators.

In this paper we study the geometry of isometric reflection vectors. In particular, we generalize known results by proving that the minimal face that contains an isometric reflection vector must be an exposed face. We also solve an open question by showing that there are isometric reflection vectors in any two dimensional subspace that are not isometric reflection vectors in the whole space. Finally, we prove that the previous situation does not hold in smooth spaces, and study the orthogonality properties of isometric reflection vectors in those spaces.

We establish a stability result concerning the functional equation: $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^m {f\left( {mx_i + \sum\limits_{j = 1,j \ne i}^m {x_j } } \right) + f\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^m {x_i } } \right) = 2f\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^m {mx_i } } \right)} $ in a large class of complete probabilistic normed spaces, via fixed point theory.

Let A = (A,⊕,−,∼, 0, 1) be a GMV-algebra and ρ: A × A → A the distance function on A defined by ρ(x, y) = (x∨y)−(x∧y) for each x, y ∈ A. In this note it is shown that a mapping f: A → A such that ρ(a, b) = ρ(f(a), f(b)) for each a, b ∈ A is a bijection and satisfies the following condition f([c ∧ d, c ∨ d]) = [f(c) ∧ f(d), f(c) ∨ f(d)] for each c, d ∈ A.
