In this paper, we use q-differential operator to recover the finite Heine $_2\Phi_1$ transformations given in [3]. Applying that, we also obtain some terminating q-series transformation formulas.

A Banach space operator A $\in$ B(X) is polaroid if the isolated points of the spectrum of A are poles of the resolvent of A; A is hereditarily polaroid, A $\in$ ($\mathcal{H}\mathcal{P}$), if every part of A is polaroid. Let $X^n\;=\;\oplus^n_{t=i}X_i$, where $X_i$ are Banach spaces, and let A denote the class of upper triangular operators A = $(A_{ij})_{1{\leq}i,j{\leq}n$, $A_{ij}\;{\in}\;B(X_j,X_i)$ and $A_{ij}$ = 0 for i > j. We prove that operators A $\in$ A such that $A_{ii}$ for all $1{\leq}i{\leq}n$, and $A^*$ have the single-valued extension property have spectral properties remarkably close to those of Jordan operators of order n and n-normal operators. Operators A $\in$ A such that $A_{ii}$ $\in$ ($\mathcal{H}\mathcal{P}$) for all $1{\leq}i{\leq}n$ are polaroid and have SVEP; hence they satisfy Weyl's theorem. Furthermore, A+R satisfies Browder's theorem for all upper triangular operators R, such that $\oplus^n_{i=1}R_{ii}$ is a Riesz operator, which commutes with A.

An associative ring R with identity is called a clean ring if every element of R is the sum of a unit and an idempotent. In this paper, we introduce the concept of f-clean rings. We study various properties of f-clean rings. Let C = $\(\array{A\;V\\W\;B}\)$ be a Morita Context ring. We determine conditions under which the ring C is f-clean. Moreover, we introduce the concept of rings having many full elements. We investigate characterizations of this kind of rings and show that rings having many full elements are closed under matrix rings and Morita Context rings.

Let {$X_n;n\;\geq\;1$} be a strictly stationary sequence of negatively associated random variables with mean zero and finite variance. Set $S_n\;=\;{\sum}^n_{k=1}X_k$, $M_n\;=\;max_{k{\leq}n}|S_k|$, $n\;{\geq}\;1$. Suppose $\sigma^2\;=\;EX^2_1+2{\sum}^\infty_{k=2}EX_1X_k$ (0 < $\sigma$ < $\infty$). We prove that for any b > -1/2, if $E|X|^{2+\delta}$(0<$\delta$$\leq$1), then $$lim\limits_{\varepsilon\searrow0}\varepsilon^{2b+1}\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}\frac{(loglogn)^{b-1/2}}{n^{3/2}logn}E\{M_n-\sigma\varepsilon\sqrt{2nloglogn}\}_+=\frac{2^{-1/2-b}{\sigma}E|N|^{2(b+1)}}{(b+1)(2b+1)}\sum^{\infty}_{k=0}\frac{(-1)^k}{(2k+1)^{2(b+1)}}$$ and for any b > -1/2, $$lim\limits_{\varepsilon\nearrow\infty}\varepsilon^{-2(b+1)}\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}\frac{(loglogn)^b}{n^{3/2}logn}E\{\sigma\varepsilon\sqrt{\frac{\pi^2n}{8loglogn}}-M_n\}_+=\frac{\Gamma(b+1/2)}{\sqrt{2}(b+1)}\sum^{\infty}_{k=0}\frac{(-1)^k}{(2k+1)^{2b+2'}}$$, where $\Gamma(\cdot)$ is the Gamma function and N stands for the standard normal random variable.

The mixed chord-integrals are defined. The Fenchel-Aleksandrov inequality and a general isoperimetric inequality for the mixed chordintegrals are established. Furthermore, the dual general Bieberbach inequality is presented. As an application of the dual form, a Brunn-Minkowski type inequality for mixed intersection bodies is given.

By using as main tool the theory of prime submodules this article is devoted to describing the structure of the minimal prime ideals of the equidimensional symmetric algebra of a finitely generated module.

The Weyl group of a compact connected Lie group is a reflection group. If such Lie groups are locally isomorphic, the representations of the Weyl groups are rationally equivalent. They need not however be equivalent as integral representations. Turning to the invariant theory, the rational cohomology of a classifying space is a ring of invariants, which is a polynomial ring. In the modular case, we will ask if rings of invariants are polynomial algebras, and if each of them can be realized as the mod p cohomology of a space, particularly for dihedral groups.

In this paper we will prove that the groups $D_{p+1}$(2) and $D_{p+1}$(3), where p is an odd prime number, are uniquely determined by their sets of order components. A main consequence of our result is the validity of Thompson's conjecture for the groups $D_{p+1}$(2) and $D_{p+1}$(3).

We consider the variational problem consisting of minimizing a polyconvex integrand for maps between manifolds. We offer a simple and direct proof of the existence of a minimizing map. The proof is based on Young measures.

For a bounded linear operator T on a separable complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we say that T is a quasi-class (A, k) operator if $T^{*k}|T^2|T^k\;{\geq}\;T^{*k}|T|^2T^k$. In this paper we prove that if T is a quasi-class (A, k) operator and f is an analytic function on an open neighborhood of the spectrum of T, then f(T) satisfies Weyl's theorem. Also, we consider the tensor product for quasi-class (A, k) operators.

In this paper, we introduce and study the generalized inverse $A^{(1,2)}_{T,S}$ with the prescribed range T and null space S of an adjointable operator A from one Hilbert $C^*$-module to another, and get some analogous results known for finite matrices over the complex field or associated rings, and the Hilbert space operators.

New integral inequalities concerning $\gamma$-convex and $\gamma$-concave functions are presented.

To study the relationship between the levels of chemical pollutants and the number of daily total hospital admissions for respiratory diseases and to find the effect of temperature/relative humidity on the admission number, Wong et al. [17] introduced the varying-coefficient single-index model (VCSIM). As pointed out, it is a popular multivariate nonparametric fitting technique. However, the tests of the model have not been very well developed. In this paper, based on the estimators obtained by the local linear technique, the average method and the one-step back-fitting technique in the VCSIM, the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) tests for varying-coefficient parts on the VCSIM are established. Under the null hypotheses the new proposed GLR tests follow the $\chi^2$-distribution asymptotically with scale constant and degree of freedom independent of the nuisance parameters, known as Wilks phenomenon. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the test procedure empirically. A real example is used to illustrate the performance of the testing approach.

We express Gauss sums for symplectic and orthogonal groups over finite fields as averages of exponential sums over certain maximal tori. Together with our previous results, we obtain some interesting identities involving various classical Gauss and Kloosterman sums.

We investigate the Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger type operator $H_2\;=\;(-\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^n})^2+V^2$ on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, where $\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^n}$ is the sublaplacian and the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse H$\ddot{o}$lder class $B_q$ for $q\geq\frac{Q}{2}$, where Q is the homogeneous dimension of $\mathbb{H}^n$. We shall establish the estimates of the fundamental solution for the operator $H_2$ and obtain the $L^p$ estimates for the operator $\nabla^4_{\mathbb{H}^n}H^{-1}_2$, where $\nabla_{\mathbb{H}^n}$ is the gradient operator on $\mathbb{H}^n$.
