A structure called d0-algebra is defined and studied, which leads to a new description of D-lattices and generalized D-lattices by means of only one totally defined operation.

Let k be a positive integer, and let G be a simple graph with vertex set V (G). A vertex of a graph G dominates itself and all vertices adjacent to it. A subset S ⊆ V (G) is a k-tuple dominating set of G if each vertex of V (G) is dominated by at least k vertices in S. The k-tuple domatic number of G is the largest number of sets in a partition of V (G) into k-tuple dominating sets. In this paper, we present a lower bound on the k-tuple domatic number, and we establish Nordhaus-Gaddum inequalities. Some of our results extends those for the classical domatic number.

For each of the relations “less than or equal to”, “less than”, “covered by”, and “covered by or equal to”, we characterize finite orders (also called posets) with the property that the pair of Galois closure operators induced by the relation in question coincides with the pair of closure operators introduced and applied in our previous paper in 2007. We also consider the “less than or equal to” relation between the set of join-irreducible elements and the set of meet-irreducible elements, and we show that the above-mentioned pairs of closure operators coincide for finite modular lattices.

There are two definitions of Γ-semigroups and investigations for both of them in the bibliography. The definition given by Sen in 1981, and the definition given by Sen and Saha in 1986. In this paper we show the way we pass from ordered semigroups to ordered Γ-semigroups no matter which one of the two definitions we use. Moreover we show that, exactly as in ordered semigroups, in many results of ordered Γ-semigroups points do not play any essential role, but the sets, which shows their pointless character. Under the methodology using in this paper, all the results of ordered semigroups can be transferred into ordered Γ-semigroups.

Napoleon’s quasigroups are idempotent medial quasigroups satisfying the identity (ab·b)(b·ba) = b. In works by V. Volenec geometric terminology has been introduced in medial quasigroups, enabling proofs of many theorems of plane geometry to be carried out by formal calculations in a quasigroup. This class of quasigroups is particularly suited for proving Napoleon’s theorem and other similar theorems about equilateral triangles and centroids.

We extend the V BG* property to the context of vector-valued functions and give some characterizations of this property. Necessary and sufficient conditions for vector-valued VBG* functions to be continuous or weakly continuous, except at most on a countable set, are obtained.

Making use of linear operator we investigate some inclusion relationships and some argument properties of certain meromorphically p-valent functions.

In this paper, we investigate the global stability and the periodic nature of solutions of the difference equation $y_{n + 1} = \frac{{\alpha + y_n^p }} {{\beta y_{n - 1}^p }} - \frac{{\gamma + y_{n - 1}^p }} {{\beta y_n^p }},n = 0,1,2,... $ where α, β, γ ∈ (0,∞), α(1 − p) − γ > 0, 0 < p < 1, every y n ≠ 0 for n = −1, 0, 1, 2, … and the initial conditions y−1, y0 are arbitrary positive real numbers. We show that the equilibrium point of the difference equation is a global attractor with a basin that depends on the conditions of the coefficients.

Recently the concepts of statistical convergence and ideal convergence have been studied in 2-normed and 2-Banach spaces by various authors. In this paper we define and study the notion of ideal convergence in random 2-normed space and construct some interesting examples.

Let G 1 and G 2 be locally compact groups and let ω 1 and ω 2 be weight functions on G 1 and G 2, respectively. For i = 1, 2, let also C 0(G i, 1/ω i) be the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions f on G i such that f/ω i vanish at infinity, and let H: C 0(G 1, 1/ω 1) → C 0(G 2, 1/ω 2) be a separating map; that is, a linear map such that H(f)H(g) = 0 for all f, g ∈ C 0(G 1, 1/ω 1) with fg = 0. In this paper, we study conditions under which H can be represented as a weighted composition map; i.e., H(f) = φ(f ℴ h) for all f ∈ C 0(G 1, 1/ω 1), where φ: G 2 → ℂ is a non-vanishing continuous function and h: G 2 → G 1 is a topological isomorphism. Finally, we offer a statement equivalent to that h is also a group homomorphism.

Let A and B be unital Banach algebras and let M be a unital Banach A,B-module. Forrest and Marcoux [6] have studied the weak amenability of triangular Banach algebra $\mathcal{T} = \left[ {_B^{AM} } \right]$ and showed that T is weakly amenable if and only if the corner algebras A and B are weakly amenable. When $\mathfrak{A}$ is a Banach algebra and A and B are Banach $\mathfrak{A}$-module with compatible actions, and M is a commutative left Banach $\mathfrak{A}$-A-module and right Banach $\mathfrak{A}$-B-module, we show that A and B are weakly $\mathfrak{A}$-module amenable if and only if triangular Banach algebra T is weakly $\mathfrak{T}$-module amenable, where $\mathfrak{T}: = \{ [^\alpha _\alpha ]:\alpha \in \mathfrak{A}\} $.

Some aspects of weak sufficiency of quantum statistics are investigated. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a weakly sufficient statistic for a given family of vector states, investigate the problem of its minimality, and find the relation between weak sufficiency and other notions of sufficiency employed so far.

Let {Y i: −∞ < i < ∞} be a doubly infinite sequence of identically distributed ρ-mixing random variables, and {a i: −∞ < i < ∞} an absolutely summable sequence of real numbers. In this paper we prove the complete moment convergence for the partial sums of moving average processes $\{ X_n = \sum\limits_{i = - \infty }^\infty {a_i Y_{i + n,} n \geqslant 1} \} $ based on the sequence {Y i: −∞ < i < ∞} of ρ-mixing random variables under some suitable conditions.

Let (u n) be a sequence of real numbers. In this paper we introduce some Tauberian conditions in terms of regularly generated sequences for (A, k) summability method.
