Abstract

A De Morgan quasilattice is an algebra satisfying hyperidentities of the variety of De Morgan algebras (lattices). In this paper we give a functional representation of the free n-generated De Morgan quasilattice with two binary and one unary operations. Namely, we define the concept of super-De Morgan function and prove that the free De Morgan quasilattice with two binary and one unary operations on nfree generators is isomorphic to the De Morgan quasilattice of super-De Morgan functions of nvariables.

Abstract

The main aim of this article is to examine infinite groups whose non-abelian subgroups are subnormal. In this sense we obtain here description of such locally finite groups and, as a consequence we show several results related to such groups.

Automorphism groups of rational elliptic surfaces with section and constant J-map

Abstract

In this paper, the automorphism groups of relatively minimal rational elliptic surfaces with section which have constant J-maps are classified. The ground field is ℂ. The automorphism group of such a surface β: B → ℙ1, denoted by Au t(B), consists of all biholomorphic maps on the complex manifold B. The group Au t(B) is isomorphic to the semi-direct product MW(B) ⋊ Aut σ (B) of the Mordell-Weil groupMW(B) (the group of sections of B), and the subgroup Aut σ (B) of the automorphisms preserving a fixed section σ of B which is called the zero section on B. The Mordell-Weil group MW(B) is determined by the configuration of singular fibers on the elliptic surface B due to Oguiso and Shioda [9]. In this work, the subgroup Aut σ (B) is determined with respect to the configuration of singular fibers of B. Together with a previous paper [4] where the case with non-constant J-maps was considered, this completes the classification of automorphism groups of relatively minimal rational elliptic surfaces with section.

Properties of triangulations obtained by the longest-edge bisection

Francisco Perdomo, Ángel Plaza

Page range: 1796-1810

Abstract

The Longest-Edge (LE) bisection of a triangle is obtained by joining the midpoint of its longest edge with the opposite vertex. Here two properties of the longest-edge bisection scheme for triangles are proved. For any triangle, the number of distinct triangles (up to similarity) generated by longest-edge bisection is finite. In addition, if LE-bisection is iteratively applied to an initial triangle, then minimum angle of the resulting triangles is greater or equal than a half of the minimum angle of the initial angle. The novelty of the proofs is the use of an hyperbolic metric in a shape space for triangles.

Some global results for nonlinear fourth order eigenvalue problems

Page range: 1811-1828

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear fourth order eigenvalue problem. We show the existence of family of unbounded continua of nontrivial solutions bifurcating from the line of trivial solutions. These global continua have properties similar to those found in Rabinowitz and Berestycki well-known global bifurcation theorems.

Topological tools for the prescribed scalar curvature problem on S n

Page range: 1829-1839

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of the existence of conformal metrics with prescribed scalar curvature on the standard sphere S n, n ≥ 3. We give new existence and multiplicity results based on a new Euler-Hopf formula type. Our argument also has the advantage of extending well known results due to Y. Li [16].

Hopf hypersurfaces in complex two-plane Grassmannians with generalized Tanaka-Webster $$\mathfrak{D}^ \bot$$-parallel structure Jacobi operator

Eunmi Pak, Young Suh

Page range: 1840-1851

Abstract

Regarding the generalized Tanaka-Webster connection, we considered a new notion of $$\mathfrak{D}^ \bot$$-parallel structure Jacobi operator for a real hypersurface in a complex two-plane Grassmannian G 2(ℂm+2) and proved that a real hypersurface in G 2(ℂm+2) with generalized Tanaka-Webster $$\mathfrak{D}^ \bot$$-parallel structure Jacobi operator is locally congruent to an open part of a tube around a totally geodesic quaternionic projective space ℍP n in G 2(ℂm+2), where m = 2n.

Secant tree calculus

Dominique Foata, Guo-Niu Han

Page range: 1852-1870

Abstract

A true Tree Calculus is being developed to make a joint study of the two statistics “eoc” (end of minimal chain) and “pom” (parent of maximum leaf) on the set of secant trees. Their joint distribution restricted to the set {eoc-pom ≤ 1} is shown to satisfy two partial difference equation systems, to be symmetric and to be expressed in the form of an explicit three-variable generating function.

Commutativity of set-valued cosine families

Page range: 1871-1881

Abstract

Let K be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior in a real Banach space and let cc(K) denote the family of all nonempty convex compact subsets of K. If {F t: t ≥ 0} is a regular cosine family of continuous additive set-valued functions F t: K → cc(K) such that x ∈ F t(x) for t ≥ 0 and x ∈ K, then $F_t \circ F_s (x) = F_s \circ F_t (x)fors,t \geqslant 0andx \in K$.

A maximum degree theorem for diameter-2-critical graphs

Abstract

A graph is diameter-2-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. Let G be a diameter-2-critical graph of order n. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in G is at most ⌊n 2/4⌋ and that the extremal graphs are the complete bipartite graphs K ⌊n/2⌋,⌊n/2⌉. Fan [Discrete Math. 67 (1987), 235–240] proved the conjecture for n ≤ 24 and for n = 26, while Füredi [J. Graph Theory 16 (1992), 81–98] proved the conjecture for n > n 0 where n 0 is a tower of 2’s of height about 1014. The conjecture has yet to be proven for other values of n. Let Δ denote the maximum degree of G. We prove the following maximum degree theorems for diameter-2-critical graphs. If Δ ≥ 0.7 n, then the Murty-Simon Conjecture is true. If n ≥ 2000 and Δ ≥ 0.6789 n, then the Murty-Simon Conjecture is true.
