This paper is intended as a discussion of some generalizations of the notion of a reversible ring, which may be obtained by the restriction of the zero commutative property from the whole ring to some of its subsets. By the INCZ property we will mean the commutativity of idempotent elements of a ring with its nilpotent elements at zero, and by ICZ property we will mean the commutativity of idempotent elements of a ring at zero. We will prove that the INCZ property is equivalent to the abelianity even for nonunital rings. Thus the INCZ property implies the ICZ property. Under the assumption on the existence of unit, also the ICZ property implies the INCZ property. As we will see, in the case of nonunital rings, there are a few classes of rings separating the class of INCZ rings from the class of ICZ rings. We will prove that the classes of rings, that will be discussed in this note, are closed under extending to the rings of polynomials and formal power series.

The aim of this paper is to extend the applicability of Gauss-Newton method for solving underdetermined nonlinear least squares problems in cases not covered before. The novelty of the paper is the introduction of a restricted convergence domain. We find a more precise location where the Gauss-Newton iterates lie than in earlier studies. Consequently the Lipschitz constants are at least as small as the ones used before. This way and under the same computational cost, we extend the local as well the semilocal convergence of Gauss-Newton method. The new developmentes are obtained under the same computational cost as in earlier studies, since the new Lipschitz constants are special cases of the constants used before. Numerical examples further justify the theoretical results.

In this paper, we study conformally flat (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metrics in the form $F={\alpha}(1+{\sum_{j=1}^{m}}\;a_j({\frac{\beta}{\alpha}})^j)$ with $m{\geq}2$, where ${\alpha}$ is a Riemannian metric and ${\beta}$ is a 1-form on a smooth manifold M. We prove that if such conformally flat (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metric F is of weakly isotropic scalar curvature, then it must has zero scalar curvature. Moreover, if $a_{m-1}a_m{\neq}0$, then such metric is either locally Minkowskian or Riemannian.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of combinatorial Auslander-Reiten (AR) quivers for commutation classes [${\tilde{w}}]$ of w in a finite Weyl group. This combinatorial object is the Hasse diagram of the convex partial order ${\prec}_{[{\tilde{w}}]}$ on the subset ${\Phi}(w)$ of positive roots. By analyzing properties of the combinatorial AR-quivers with labelings and reflection functors, we can apply their properties to the representation theory of KLR algebras and dual PBW-basis associated to any commutation class [${\tilde{w}}_0$] of the longest element $w_0$ of any finite type.

A fullness conjecture of Kuznetsov says that if a smooth projective variety X admits a full exceptional collection of line bundles of length l, then any exceptional collection of line bundles of length l is full. In this paper, we show that this conjecture holds for X as the blow-up of ${\mathbb{P}}^3$ at a point, a line, or a twisted cubic curve, i.e., any exceptional collection of line bundles of length 6 on X is full. Moreover, we obtain an explicit classification of full exceptional collections of line bundles on such X.

We establish some Hessian comparison theorems and volume comparison theorems for Riemann-Finsler manifolds under various line radial integral curvature bounds. As their applications, we obtain some results on first eigenvalue, Gromov pre-compactness and generalized Myers theorem for Riemann-Finsler manifolds under suitable line radial integral curvature bounds. Our results are new even in the Riemannian case.

Let ${\Sigma}_k(p)$ be the class of univalent meromorphic functions defined on the unit disc ${\mathbb{D}}$ with k-quasiconformal extension to the extended complex plane ${\hat{\mathbb{C}}}$, where $0{\leq}k<1$. Let ${\Sigma}^0_k(p)$ be the class of functions $f{\in}{\Sigma}_k(p)$ having expansion of the form $f(z)=1/(z-p)+{\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}}\;b_nz^n$ on ${\mathbb{D}}$. In this article, we obtain sharp area distortion and weighted area distortion inequalities for functions in ${\sum_{k}^{0}}(p)$. As a consequence of the obtained results, we present a sharp upper bound for the Hilbert transform of characteristic function of a Lebesgue measurable subset of ${\mathbb{D}}$.

In this paper, we investigate weak laws of large numbers for weighted coordinatewise pairwise negative quadrant dependence random vectors in Hilbert spaces in the case that the decay order of tail probability is r for some 0 < r < 2. Moreover, we extend results concerning Pareto-Zipf distributions and St. Petersburg game.

We study the set of critical exponents of discrete groups acting on regular trees. We prove that for every real number ${\delta}$ between 0 and ${\frac{1}{2}}\;{\log}\;q$, there is a discrete subgroup ${\Gamma}$ acting without inversion on a (q+1)-regular tree whose critical exponent is equal to ${\delta}$. Explicit construction of edge-indexed graphs corresponding to a quotient graph of groups are given.

In 1935, D. H. Lehmer introduced and investigated generalized Euler numbers $W_n$, defined by $${\frac{3}{e^t+e^{wt}e^{w^2t}}}={\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}}W_n{\frac{t^n}{n!}}$$, where ${\omega}$ is a complex root of $x^2+x+1=0$. In 1875, Glaisher gave several interesting determinant expressions of numbers, including Bernoulli and Euler numbers. These concepts can be generalized to the hypergeometric Bernoulli and Euler numbers by several authors, including Ohno and the second author. In this paper, we study more general numbers in terms of determinants, which involve Bernoulli, Euler and Lehmer's generalized Euler numbers. The motivations and backgrounds of the definition are in an operator related to Graph theory. We also give several expressions and identities by Trudi's and inversion formulae.

For any $m{\times}n$ nonbinary Boolean matrix A, its spanning column rank is the minimum number of the columns of A that spans its column space. We have a characterization of spanning column rank-1 nonbinary Boolean matrices. We investigate the linear operators that preserve the spanning column ranks of matrices over the nonbinary Boolean algebra. That is, for a linear operator T on $m{\times}n$ nonbinary Boolean matrices, it preserves all spanning column ranks if and only if there exist an invertible nonbinary Boolean matrix P of order m and a permutation matrix Q of order n such that T(A) = PAQ for all $m{\times}n$ nonbinary Boolean matrix A. We also obtain other characterizations of the (spanning) column rank preserver.

We estimate the essential norms of Volterra-type integral operators $V_g$ and $I_g$, and multiplication operators $M_g$ with holomorphic symbols g on a large class of generalized Fock spaces on the complex plane ${\mathbb{C}}$. The weights defining these spaces are radial and subjected to a mild smoothness conditions. In addition, we assume that the weights decay faster than the classical Gaussian weight. Our main result estimates the essential norms of $V_g$ in terms of an asymptotic upper bound of a quantity involving the inducing symbol g and the weight function, while the essential norms of $M_g$ and $I_g$ are shown to be comparable to their operator norms. As a means to prove our main results, we first characterized the compact composition operators acting on the spaces which is interest of its own.

An ideal of a commutative ring is called a d-ideal if it contains the annihilator of the annihilator of each of its elements. Denote by DId(A) the lattice of d-ideals of a ring A. We prove that, as in the case of f-rings, DId(A) is an algebraic frame. Call a ring homomorphism "compatible" if it maps equally annihilated elements in its domain to equally annihilated elements in the codomain. Denote by $SdRng_c$ the category whose objects are rings in which the sum of two d-ideals is a d-ideal, and whose morphisms are compatible ring homomorphisms. We show that $DId:\;SdRng_c{\rightarrow}CohFrm$ is a functor (CohFrm is the category of coherent frames with coherent maps), and we construct a natural transformation $RId{\rightarrow}DId$, in a most natural way, where RId is the functor that sends a ring to its frame of radical ideals. We prove that a ring A is a Baer ring if and only if it belongs to the category $SdRng_c$ and DId(A) is isomorphic to the frame of ideals of the Boolean algebra of idempotents of A. We end by showing that the category $SdRng_c$ has finite products.

We list all subfields of cyclotomic function fields over rational function fields with class number three. We also determine all the imaginary abelian extensions with relative class number three, explicitly.
