We give a “naive” (i.e., using no additional set-theoretic assumptions beyond ZFC, the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of set theory augmented by the Axiom of Choice) example of a Boolean topological group G without infinite separable pseudocompact subsets having the following “selective” compactness property: For each free ultrafilter p on the set N of natural numbers and every sequence ( U n ) of non-empty open subsets of G, one can choose a point x n U n for all n N in such a way that the resulting sequence ( x n ) has a p-limit in G; that is, { n N : x n V } p for every neighbourhood V of x in G. In particular, G is selectively pseudocompact (strongly pseudocompact) but not selectively sequentially pseudocompact. This answers a question of Dorantes-Aldama and the first listed author. The group G above is not pseudo- ω -bounded either. Furthermore, we show that the free precompact Boolean group of a topological sum i I X i , where each space X i is either maximal or discrete, contains no infinite separable pseudocompact subsets.

The generalized Schur algorithm is a powerful tool allowing to compute classical decompositions of matrices, such as the Q R and L U factorizations. When applied to matrices with particular structures, the generalized Schur algorithm computes these factorizations with a complexity of one order of magnitude less than that of classical algorithms based on Householder or elementary transformations. In this manuscript, we describe the main features of the generalized Schur algorithm. We show that it helps to prove some theoretical properties of the R factor of the Q R factorization of some structured matrices, such as symmetric positive definite Toeplitz and Sylvester matrices, that can hardly be proven using classical linear algebra tools. Moreover, we propose a fast implementation of the generalized Schur algorithm for computing the rank of Sylvester matrices, arising in a number of applications. Finally, we propose a generalized Schur based algorithm for computing the null-space of polynomial matrices. Full article

A dynamical system is a triple ( A , G , α ) consisting of a unital locally convex algebra A, a topological group G, and a group homomorphism α : G Aut ( A ) that induces a continuous action of G on A. Furthermore, a unital locally convex algebra A is called a continuous inverse algebra, or CIA for short, if its group of units A × is open in A and the inversion map ι : A × A × , a a 1 is continuous at 1 A . Given a dynamical system ( A , G , α ) with a complete commutative CIA A and a compact group G, we show that each character of the corresponding fixed point algebra can be extended to a character of A.

We focus on the relationships among some consistency axioms in the framework of fuzzy choice functions. In order to help disclose the role of the t-norm in existing analyses, we start to study the situation that arises when we replace the standard t-norm with other t-norms. Our results allow us to conclude that unless we impose further structure on the domain of application for the choices, the use of the Łukasiewicz t-norm as a replacement for the standard t-norm does not guarantee a better performance.

A well-known result of Ferri and Galindo asserts that the topological group c 0 is not reflexively representable and the algebra WAP ( c 0 ) of weakly almost periodic functions does not separate points and closed subsets. However, it is unknown if the same remains true for a larger important algebra Tame ( c 0 ) of tame functions. Respectively, it is an open question if c 0 is representable on a Rosenthal Banach space. In the present work we show that Tame ( c 0 ) is small in a sense that the unit sphere S and 2 S cannot be separated by a tame function f ∈ Tame ( c 0 ) . As an application we show that the Gromov’s compactification of c 0 is not a semigroup compactification. We discuss some questions. Full article

This paper establishes the shape derivative of geometry-dependent objective functions for use in constrained variational problems. Using a Lagrangian approach, our differentiablity result is based on the theorem of Delfour–Zolésio on directional derivatives with respect to a parameter of shape perturbation. As the key issue of the paper, we analyze the bijection under the kinematic transport of geometries that is needed for function spaces and feasible sets involved in variational problems. Our abstract theoretical result is applied to the Brinkman flow problem under incompressibility and mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary conditions, and provides an analytic formula of the shape derivative based on the velocity method.

The aim of this paper is to establish the existence of some common fixed point results for generalized Geraghty ( α , ψ , ϕ ) -quasi contraction self-mapping in partially ordered metric-like spaces. We display an example and an application to show the superiority of our results. The obtained results progress some well-known fixed (common fixed) point results in the literature. Our main results cannot be specifically attained from the corresponding metric space versions. This paper is scientifically novel because we take Geraghty contraction self-mapping in partially ordered metric-like spaces via α admissible mapping. This opens the door to other possible fixed (common fixed) point results for non-self-mapping and in other generalizing metric spaces. Full article

Tickysim is a clock tick-based simulator for the inter-chip interconnection network of the SpiNNaker architecture. Network devices such as arbiters, routers, and packet generators store, read, and write forward data through fixed-length FIFO buffers. At each clock tick, every component executes a “read” phase followed by a “write” phase. The structures of any finite graph which represents numerical quantities are known as topological indices. In this paper, we compute degree-based topological indices of the Tickysim SpiNNaker Model ( T S M ) sheet. Full article

Starting from the 2001 Thomas Friedrich’s work on Spin ( 9 ) , we review some interactions between Spin ( 9 ) and geometries related to octonions. Several topics are discussed in this respect: explicit descriptions of the Spin ( 9 ) canonical 8-form and its analogies with quaternionic geometry as well as the role of Spin ( 9 ) both in the classical problems of vector fields on spheres and in the geometry of the octonionic Hopf fibration. Next, we deal with locally conformally parallel Spin ( 9 ) manifolds in the framework of intrinsic torsion. Finally, we discuss applications of Clifford systems and Clifford structures to Cayley–Rosenfeld planes and to three series of Grassmannians. Full article

In recent papers, new sets of Sheffer and Brenke polynomials based on higher order Bell numbers, and several integer sequences related to them, have been studied. The method used in previous articles, and even in the present one, traces back to preceding results by Dattoli and Ben Cheikh on the monomiality principle, showing the possibility to derive explicitly the main properties of Sheffer polynomial families starting from the basic elements of their generating functions. The introduction of iterated exponential and logarithmic functions allows to construct new sets of Bell–Sheffer polynomials which exhibit an iterative character of the obtained shift operators and differential equations. In this context, it is possible, for every integer r, to define polynomials of higher type, which are linked to the higher order Bell-exponential and logarithmic numbers introduced in preceding papers. Connections with integer sequences appearing in Combinatorial analysis are also mentioned. Naturally, the considered technique can also be used in similar frameworks, where the iteration of exponential and logarithmic functions appear. Full article

This paper presents a new efficient method for the numerical solution of a linear time-dependent partial differential equation. The proposed technique includes the collocation method with Legendre wavelets for spatial discretization and the three-step Taylor method for time discretization. This procedure is third-order accurate in time. A comparative study between the proposed method and the one-step wavelet collocation method is provided. In order to verify the stability of these methods, asymptotic stability analysis is employed. Numerical illustrations are investigated to show the reliability and efficiency of the proposed method. An important property of the presented method is that unlike the one-step wavelet collocation method, it is not necessary to choose a small time step to achieve stability. Full article
