Let $M^n$ be a connected subminifold of a Euclidean space $E^m$, equipped with the induced metric. Denoty by $\Delta$ the Laplacian operator of $M^n$ and by x the position vector. A well-known T. Takahashi's theorem [13] says that $\delta x = \lambda x$ for some constant $\lambda$ if and only if $M^n$ is either minimal subminifold of $E^m$ or minimal submanifold in a hypersphere of $E^m$. In [9], O. Garay studied the hypersurfaces $M^n$ in $E^{n+1}$ satisfying $\delta x = Dx$, where D is a diagonal matrix, and he classified such hypersurfaces. Garay's condition can be seen as a generalization of T.

An n-dimensional complex space form $M_n(c)$ is a Kaehlerian manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature c. As is well known, complete and simply connected complex space forms are a complex projective space $P_n C$, a complex Euclidean space $C_n$ or a complex hyperbolic space $H_n C$ according as c > 0, c = 0 or c < 0.

The notions of implicative semigroup and ordered filter were introduced by M. W. Chan and K. pp. Shum [3]. The first is a generalization of implicative semilattice (see W. C. Nemitz [6] and T. S. Blyth [2]) and has a close relation with the implication in mathematical logic and set theoretic difference (see G. Birkhoff [1] and H. B. Curry [4]). For the general development of implicative semilattice theory the ordered filters play an important role, which is shown by W. C. Nemitz [6].

In order to research the logical system whose propositional value is given in a lattice, Y. Xu [4] proposed the concept of lattice implication algebras, and discussed their some properties in [3] and [4]. Y. Xu and K. Qin [5] introduced the notions of filter and implicative filter in a lattice implication algebra, and investigated their properties. In this paper, in the first place, we give an equivalent condition of a filter, and provide some equivalent conditions that a filter is an implicative filter in a lattice implication algebra. By using these results, we construct an extension property for implicative filter.

To develope the theory of BCI-algebras, the idel theory plays an important role. The first author [4] introduced the notion of T-ideal in BCI-algebras. In this paper, we first construct a special set, called T-part, in a BCI-algebra X. We show that the T-part of X is a subalgebra of X. We give equivalent conditions that the T-part of X is an ideal. By using T-part, we provide an equivalent condition that every ideal is a T-ideal.

Hong et al. [2] and Jun et al. [4] introduced the notion of k-nil radical in a BCI-algebra, and investigated its some properties. In this paper, we discuss the further properties on the k-nil radical. Let A be a subset of a BCI-algebra X. We show that the k-nil radical of A is the union of branches. We prove that if A is an ideal then the k-nil radical [A;k] is a p-ideal of X, and that if A is a subalgebra, then the k-nil radical [A;k] is a closed p-ideal, and hence a strong ideal of X.

Lehmann [13] introduced the concept of positive(negative) dependence together with some other dependence concepts. Since then, a great numerous multivariate inequalities have been obtained. For a references of available results, see Karlin and Rinott [12], Ebrahimi and Ghosh [8] and Sampson [14]. Whereas a number of dependence notions exist for multivariate processes (see Friday [10]), recently, Ebrahimi [7] introduced some new dependence concepts of the hitting times of stochastic processes.

In 1970's Goodykoontz gave characterizations of connectedness imkleinen and locally arcwise connectedness of $2^X$ only at singleton set {x} ${\epsilon} 2^X$ [5,6,7]. In [7], we gave necessary conditions for C(X) to be arcwise connected im kileinen at any point $A {\epsilon} C(X)$.

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of a random evolution. Some examples of random evolution can be found in Chapter 12 of [2].

It was the turning point in the "fixed point arena" when the notion of weak commutativity was introduced by Sessa [9] as a sharper tool to obtain common fixed points of mappings. As a result, all the results on fixed point theorems for commuting mappings were easily transformed in the setting of the new notion of weak commutativity of mappings. It gives a new impetus to the studying of common fixed points of mappings satisfying some contractive type conditions and a number of interesting results have been found by various authors. A bulk of results were produced and it was the centre of vigorous research activity in "Fixed Point Theory and its Application in various other Branches of Mathematical Sciences" in last two decades. A major break through was done by Jungck [3] when he proclaimed the new notion what he called "compatibility" of mapping and its usefulness for obtaining common fixed points of mappings was shown by him. There-after a flood of common fixed point theorems was produced by various researchers by using the improved notion of compatibility of mappings. of compatibility of mappings.

Let K be a nonempty subset of a normed linear space X and let x $\in$ X. An element k$_0$ in K satisfying $\$\mid$$x - k$_0$$\$\mid$$ = d(x, K) := (equation omitted) $\$\mid$$x - k$\$\mid$$ is called a best approximation to x from K. For any x $\in$ X, the set of all best approximations to x from K is denoted by P$_K$(x) = {k $\in$ K : $\$\mid$$ x - k $\$\mid$$ = d(x, K)}. (omitted)

The aim of this paper is to present theorems on the exitence of zeros for mappings defined on convex subsets of topological vector spaces with values in a vector space. In addition to natural assumptions of continuity, convexity, and compactness, the mappings are subject to some geometric conditions. In the first theorem, the mapping satisfies a "Darboux-type" property expressed in terms of an auxiliary numerical function. Typically, this functions is, in this case, related to an order structure on the target space. We derive an existence theorem for "obtuse" quasiconvex mappings with values in an ordered vector space. In the second theorem, we prove the existence of a "common zero" for an arbitrary (not necessarily countable) family of mappings satisfying a general "inwardness" condition againg expressed in terms of numerical functions (these numerical functions could be duality pairings (more generally, bilinear forms)). Our inwardness condition encompasses classical inwardness conditions of Leray-Schauder, Altman, or Bergman-Halpern types.

Let ${X_k : k = 1, 2, \cdots}$ be a sequence of independent, identically distributed integer-valued random variables with common distribution function F.

The existence of an operator-valued function space integral as an operator on $L_p(R) (1 \leq p \leq 2)$ was established for certain functionals which involved the Labesgue measure [1,2,6,7]. Johnson and Lapidus showed the existence of the integral as an operator on $L_2(R)$ for certain functionals which involved any Borel measures [5]. J. S. Chang and Johnson proved the existence of the integral as an operator from L_1(R)$ to $C_0(R)$ for certain functionals involving some Borel measures [3]. K. S. Chang and K. S. Ryu showed the existence of the integral as an operator from $L_p(R) to L_p'(R)$ for certain functionals involving some Borel measures [4].
