We study colorings of regular trees using subball complexity b(n), which is the number of colored n-balls up to color-preserving isomorphisms. We show that for any k-regular tree, for k > 1, there are colorings of intermediate complexity. We then construct colorings of linear complexity b(n) = 2n + 2. We also construct colorings induced from sequences of linear subword complexity which has exponential subball complexity.

The estimate of third Hankel determinant $$H_{3,1}(f)=\left|a_1\;a_2\;a_3\\a_2\;a_3\;a_4\\a_3\;a_4\;a_5\right|$$ of the analytic function $f(z)=z+a2z^2+a3z^3+{\cdots}$, for which ${\Re}(1+zf^{{\prime}{\prime}}(z)/f^{\prime}(z))>-1/2$ are investigated. The corrected version of a known results [2, Theorem 3.1 and Theorem 3.3] are also obtained.

This paper is concerned with a generalized 2D parabolic equation with a nonautonomous perturbation $$-{\Delta}u_t+{\alpha}^2{\Delta}^2u_t+{\mu}{\Delta}^2u+{\bigtriangledown}{\cdot}{\vec{F}}(u)+B(u,u)={\epsilon}g(x,t)$$. Under some proper assumptions on the external force term g, the upper semicontinuity of pullback attractors is proved. More precisely, it is shown that the pullback attractor $\{A_{\epsilon}(t)\}_{t{\epsilon}{\mathbb{R}}}$ of the equation with ${\epsilon}>0$ converges to the global attractor A of the equation with ${\epsilon}=0$.

In this paper, we investigate the insertion-of-factors-property (simply, IFP) on skew polynomial rings, introducing the concept of strongly ${\sigma}-IFP$ for a ring endomorphism ${\sigma}$. A ring R is said to have strongly ${\sigma}-IFP$ if the skew polynomial ring R[x;${\sigma}$] has IFP. We examine some characterizations and extensions of strongly ${\sigma}-IFP$ rings in relation with several ring theoretic properties which have important roles in ring theory. We also extend many of related basic results to the wider classes, and so several known results follow as consequences of our results.

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a generalized mixed equilibrium problem related to a continuous monotone mapping, the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem for a continuous monotone mapping, and the set of fixed points of a continuous pseudocontractive mapping in Hilbert spaces. Weak convergence for the proposed iterative algorithm is proved. Our results improve and extend some recent results in the literature.

Lagrange multiplier method for solving the contact problem in elasticity is considered. Based on lower semicontinuity of sensitivity functional we prove the convergence of modified dual scheme to corresponding saddle point.

The purpose of this paper is to classify all compact manifolds modeled on the 4-dimensional solvable Lie group $Sol_1^4$, and more generally, the crystallographic groups of $Sol_1^4$. The maximal compact subgroup of Isom($Sol_1^4$) is $D_4={\mathbb{Z}}_4{\rtimes}{\mathbb{Z}}_2$. We shall exhibit an infra-solvmanifold of $Sol_1^4$ whose holonomy is $D_4$. This implies that all possible holonomy groups do occur; the trivial group, ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ (5 families), ${\mathbb{Z}}_4$, ${\mathbb{Z}}_2{\times}{\mathbb{Z}}_2$ (5 families), and ${\mathbb{Z}}_4{\rtimes}{\mathbb{Z}}_2$ (2 families).

Let (R, m) be a commutative Noetherian local domain, M a non-zero finitely generated R-module of dimension n > 0 and I be an ideal of R. In this paper it is shown that if $x_1,{\ldots },x_t$ ($1{\leq}t{\leq}n$) be a sub-set of a system of parameters for M, then the R-module $H^t_{(x_1,{\ldots },x_t)}$(R) is faithful, i.e., Ann $H^t_{(x_1,{\ldots },x_t)}$(R) = 0. Also, it is shown that, if $H^i_I$ (R) = 0 for all i > dim R - dim R/I, then the R-module $H^{dimR-dimR/I}_I(R)$ is faithful. These results provide some partially affirmative answers to the Lynch's conjecture in [10]. Moreover, for an ideal I of an arbitrary Noetherian ring R, we calculate the annihilator of the top local cohomology module $H^1_I(M)$, when $H^i_I(M)=0$ for all integers i > 1. Also, for such ideals we show that the finitely generated R-algebra $D_I(R)$ is a flat R-algebra.

An operator T on a complex Hilbert space H is called skew symmetric if T can be represented as a skew symmetric matrix relative to some orthonormal basis for H. In this paper, we study skew symmetric operators with eigenvalues. First, we provide an upper-triangular operator matrix representation for skew symmetric operators with nonzero eigenvalues. On the other hand, we give a description of certain skew symmetric triangular operators, which is based on the geometric relationship between eigenvectors.

The Hausdorff topology induced by a fuzzy metric space under more weak assumptions is investigated in this paper. Another purpose of this paper is to obtain the Banach contraction theorem in fuzzy metric space based on a natural concept of Cauchy sequence in fuzzy metric space.

We dene new link invariants which are called the quasitoric braid index and the cyclic length of a link and show that the quasitoric braid index of link with k components is the product of k and the cycle length of link. Also, we give bounds of Gordian distance between the (p,q)-torus knot and the closure of a braid of two specific quasitoric braids which are called an alternating quasitoric braid and a blockwise alternating quasitoric braid. We give a method of modication which makes a quasitoric presentation from its braid presentation for a knot with braid index 3. By using a quasitoric presentation of $10_{139}$ and $10_{124}$, we can prove that $u(10_{139})=4$ and $d^{\times}(10_{124},K(3,13))=8$.

Let S be a semigroup with 0 and R be a ring with 1. We extend the definition of the zero-divisor graphs of commutative semigroups to not necessarily commutative semigroups. We define an annihilating-ideal graph of a ring as a special type of zero-divisor graph of a semigroup. We introduce two ways to define the zero-divisor graphs of semigroups. The first definition gives a directed graph ${\Gamma}$(S), and the other definition yields an undirected graph ${\overline{\Gamma}}$(S). It is shown that ${\Gamma}$(S) is not necessarily connected, but ${\overline{\Gamma}}$(S) is always connected and diam$({\overline{\Gamma}}(S)){\leq}3$. For a ring R define a directed graph ${\mathbb{APOG}}(R)$ to be equal to ${\Gamma}({\mathbb{IPO}}(R))$, where ${\mathbb{IPO}}(R)$ is a semigroup consisting of all products of two one-sided ideals of R, and define an undirected graph ${\overline{\mathbb{APOG}}}(R)$ to be equal to ${\overline{\Gamma}}({\mathbb{IPO}}(R))$. We show that R is an Artinian (resp., Noetherian) ring if and only if ${\mathbb{APOG}}(R)$ has DCC (resp., ACC) on some special subset of its vertices. Also, it is shown that ${\overline{\mathbb{APOG}}}(R)$ is a complete graph if and only if either $(D(R))^2=0,R$ is a direct product of two division rings, or R is a local ring with maximal ideal m such that ${\mathbb{IPO}}(R)=\{0,m,m^2,R\}$. Finally, we investigate the diameter and the girth of square matrix rings over commutative rings $M_{n{\times}n}(R)$ where $n{\geq} 2$.

We examine the relationship of the shape operator of a surface of Euclidean 3-space with its Gauss map of pointwise 1-type. Surfaces with constant mean curvature and right circular cones with respect to some properties of the shape operator are characterized when their Gauss map is of pointwise 1-type.
