Let R be a factorial domain. In this work we investigate the connections between the arithmetic of Int(R) (i.e., the ring of integer-valued polynomials over R) and its monadic submonoids (i.e., monoids of the form {$g{\in}Int(R){\mid}g{\mid}_{Int(R)}f^k$ for some $k{\in}{\mathbb{N}}_0$} for some nonzero $f{\in}Int(R)$). Since every monadic submonoid of Int(R) is a Krull monoid it is possible to describe the arithmetic of these monoids in terms of their divisor-class group. We give an explicit description of these divisor-class groups in several situations and provide a few techniques that can be used to determine them. As an application we show that there are strong connections between Int(R) and its monadic submonoids. If $R={\mathbb{Z}}$ or more generally if R has sufficiently many "nice" atoms, then we prove that the infinitude of the elasticity and the tame degree of Int(R) can be explained by using the structure of monadic submonoids of Int(R).

H. R. Ebrahimi Vishki et al. conjectured in [1], that if every Jordan higher derivation on a trivial generalized matrix algebra $\mathcal{G}=(A,M,N,B)$ is a higher derivation, then either M = 0 or N = 0. In this note, we will give a class of counter examples.

In this paper we introduce rings that satisfy regular 1-stable range. These rings are left-right symmetric and are generalizations of unit 1-stable range. We investigate characterizations of these kind of rings and show that these rings are closed under matrix rings and Morita Context rings.

In the various module generalizations of the concepts of prime (semiprime) for a ring, the question "when are semiprime modules subdirect product of primes?" is a serious question in this context and it is considered by earlier authors in the literature. We continue study on the above question by showing that: If R is Morita equivalent to a right pre-duo ring (e.g., if R is commutative) then weakly compressible R-modules are precisely subdirect products of prime R-modules if and only if dim(R) = 0 and R/N(R) is a semi-Artinian ring if and only if every classical semiprime module is semiprime. In this case, the class of weakly compressible R-modules is an enveloping for Mod-R. Some related conditions are also investigated.

Motivated mainly by certain interesting recent extensions of the generalized hypergeometric function [Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 23 (2012), 659-683] by means of the incomplete Pochhammer symbols $({\lambda};{\kappa})_{\nu}$ and $[{\lambda};{\kappa}]_{\nu}$, we first introduce incomplete Fox-Wright function. We then define the families of incomplete extended Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function. We then systematically investigate several interesting properties of these incomplete extended Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function which include various integral representations, summation formula, fractional derivative formula. We also consider an application to probability distributions and some special cases of our main results.

Recently many authors have investigated so-called Aleph (${\aleph}$)-function and its various properties. Here, in this paper, we aim at establishing certain integral formulas involving the Aleph (${\aleph}$)-function. Precisely, integrals with product of Aleph (${\aleph}$)-function with Jacobi polynomials, Bessel Maitland function, general class of polynomials were under consideration. Some interesting special cases of our main result are also considered and shown to be connected with certain known ones.

In this paper, we generalize the extended Appell's and Lauricella's hypergeometric functions which have recently been introduced by Liu [9] and Khan [7]. Also, we aim at establishing some (presumbly) new integral representations and transforms for the extended generalized Appell's and Lauricella's hypergeometric functions.

In this research work, by using the random resolvent operator techniques associated with random ($A_t$, ${\eta}_t$, $m_t$)-monotone operators, is to established an existence and convergence theorems for a class of fuzzy system of random nonlinear equations with fuzzy mappings in Hilbert spaces. Our results improve and generalized the corresponding results of the recent works.

Starting from a t-norm T, it is possible to construct a class of new t-norms, so-called T-generalized t-norm. The purpose of this paper is to describe some properties of this class of generalized t-norms. An algebraic structure as well as a binary relation among t-norms are also investigated. Some open problems are discussed as well.

In this paper, we utilize the Nevanlinna theory and uniqueness theory of meromorphic function to investigate the differential-difference analogue of $Br{\ddot{u}}ck$ conjecture. In other words, we consider ${\Delta}_{\eta}f(z)=f(z+{\eta})-f(z)$ and f'(z) share one value or one small function, and then obtain the precise expression of transcendental entire function f(z) under certain conditions, where ${\eta}{\in}{\mathbb{C}}{\backslash}\{0\}$ is a constant such that $f(z+{\eta})-f(z){\not\equiv}0$.

In this paper, we prove some coincidence point theorems involving ${\varphi}-contraction$ in ordered partial metric spaces. We also extend newly introduced notion of g-comparability of a pair of maps for linear contraction in ordered metric spaces to non-linear contraction in ordered partial metric spaces. Thus, our results extend, modify and generalize some recent well known coincidence point theorems of ordered metric spaces.

In this paper, we introduce and investigate an interesting subclass of meromorphic bi-univalent functions defined on ${\Delta}=\{z{\in}{\mathbb{C}}$ : 1 < |z| < ${\infty}\}$. For functions belonging to this class, estimates on the initial coefficients are obtained. The results presented in this paper would generalize and improve some recent works of several earlier authors.

The aim of this paper is to investigate locally ${\phi}-conformally$ symmetric almost Kenmotsu manifolds with its characteristic vector field ${\xi}$ belonging to some nullity distributions. Also, we give an example of a 5-dimensional almost Kenmotsu manifold such that ${\xi}$ belongs to the $(k,\;{\mu})^{\prime}$-nullity distribution and $h^{\prime}{\neq}0$.

In this paper, we study slant curves in a 3-dimensional almost f-Kenmotsu manifold with proper mean curvature vector field.

This paper is concerned with the analysis of the busy period distribution in a batch arrival $M^X/G/1$ retrial queue. The expression for the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the length of the busy period is well known, but from this expression we cannot compute the moments of the length of the busy period by direct differentiation. This paper provides a direct method of calculation for the first and second moments of the length of the busy period.

Let D be a directed graph with p vertices and q arcs. A vertex out-magic total labeling is a bijection f from $V(D){\cup}A(D){\rightarrow}\{1,2,{\ldots},p+q\}$ with the property that for every $v{\in}V(D)$, $f(v)+\sum_{u{\in}O(v)}f((v,u))=k$, for some constant k. Such a labeling is called a V-super vertex out-magic total labeling (V-SVOMT labeling) if $f(V(D))=\{1,2,3,{\ldots},p\}$. A digraph D is called a V-super vertex out-magic total digraph (V-SVOMT digraph) if D admits a V-SVOMT labeling. In this paper, we provide a method to find the most vital nodes in a network by introducing the above labeling and we study the basic properties of such labelings for digraphs. In particular, we completely solve the problem of finding V-SVOMT labeling of generalized de Bruijn digraphs which are used in the interconnection network topologies.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce some strong convergence theorems for the problem of finding a common zero of a finite family of monotone operators and the problem of finding a common fixed point of a finite family of nonexpansive in Hilbert spaces by hybrid projection method.

We study the existence and uniqueness of S-asymptotically ${\omega}-periodic$ mild solutions for some partial functional integrodifferential equations with infinite delay and nonlocal conditions.

This paper is about the derivations of local volatilities for European quanto call option prices according to various types of payoffs. We derive the explicit formulas of local volatilities with constant foreign and domestic interest rates by adapting the method of Derman-Kani.
