The minimum rank mr(G) of a simple graph G is defined to be the smallest possible rank over all symmetric real matrices whose (i, j)-th entry (for $i{\neq}j$) is nonzero whenever {i, j} is an edge in G and is zero otherwise. The corona $C_n{\circ}K_t$ is obtained by joining all the vertices of the complete graph $K_t$ to each n vertex of the cycle $C_n$. For any t, we obtain an upper bound of zero forcing number of $L(C_n{\circ}K_t)$, the line graph of $C_n{\circ}K_t$, and get some bounds of $mr(L(C_n{\circ}K_t))$. Specially for t = 1, 2, we have calculated $mr(L(C_n{\circ}K_t))$ by the cut-vertex reduction method.

Todd series are associated to maximal non-degenerate lattice cones. The coefficients of Todd series of a particular class of lattice cones are closely related to generalized Dedekind sums of higher dimension. We generalize this construction and obtain an explicit formula for coefficients of the Todd series. It turns out that every maximal non-degenerate lattice cone, hence the associated Todd series can be obtained in this way.

In this paper, we aim at establishing a generalized fractional integral version of Gr$\ddot{u}$ss type integral inequality by making use of the Gauss hypergeometric function fractional integral operator. Our main result, being of a very general character, is illustrated to specialize to yield numerous interesting fractional integral inequalities including some known results.

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of entire functions concerning differential polynomials and deficient value. The results extend and improve Theorem 2 in Yi [13].

Fox [2] presented an interesting identity for $_pF_q$ which is expressed in terms of a finite summation of $_pF_q$'s whose involved numerator and denominator parameters are different from those in the starting one. Moreover Fox [2] found a very interesting and general summation formula for $_3F_2(1/2)$ as a special case of his above-mentioned general identity with the help of Kummer's second summation theorem for $_2F_1(1/2)$. Here, in this paper, we show how two general summation formulas for $$_3F_2\[\array{\hspace{110}{\alpha},{\beta},{\gamma};\\{\alpha}-m,\;\frac{1}{2}({\beta}+{\gamma}+i+1);}\;{\frac{1}{2}}\]$$, m being a nonnegative integer and i any integer, can be easily established by suitably specializing the above-mentioned Fox's general identity with, here, the aid of generalizations of Kummer's second summation theorem for $_2F_1(1/2)$ obtained recently by Rakha and Rathie [7]. Several known results are also seen to be certain special cases of our main identities.

In this paper, we investigate horizontal lightlike hypersurfaces of Robertson-Walker spacetimes. Some results involving the unique existence of the screen distribution and the symmetry of the induced Ricci curvature tensor of horizontal lightlike hypersurfaces are presented. We also obtain some properties concerning the symmetry and the parallelism of the second fundamental forms of such lightlike hypersurfaces.

The object of the present paper is to study the second order parallel symmetric tensors and Ricci solitons on $(LCS)_n$-manifolds. We found the conditions of Ricci soliton on $(LCS)_n$-manifolds to be shrinking, steady and expanding respectively.

The purpose of this paper is to study real hypersurfaces immersed in a complex hyperbolic space $CH^n$ and especially to investigate certain curvature conditions for such real hypersurfaces to be the model hypersurfaces in classification theorem (said to be Theorem M-R) given by Montiel and Romero ([4]) in Section 3.
