In this paper, we introduce the D-ratio of a rational map $f:{\mathbb{P}}^n{\dashrightarrow}{\mathbb{P}}^n$, defined over ${\bar{\mathbb{Q}}}$, whose indeterminacy locus is contained in a hyperplane H on ${\mathbb{P}}^n$. The D-ratio r(f; ${\bar{V}}$) characterizes endomorphisms and provides a useful height inequality on ${\mathbb{P}}^n({\bar{\mathbb{Q}}}){\backslash}H$. We also provide a dynamical application: preperiodic points of dynamical systems of small D-ratio are of bounded height.

A ${\ast}-ring$ R is called ${\ast}-regular$ if every principal one-sided ideal of R is generated by a projection. In this note, several characterizations of ${\ast}-regular$ rings are provided. In particular, it is shown that a matrix ring $M_n(R)$ is ${\ast}-regular$ if and only if R is regular and $1+x^*_1x_1+{\cdots}+x^*_{n-1}x_{n-1}$ is a unit for all $x_i$ of R; which answers a question raised in the literature recently.

We will find a necessary and sufficient condition for unit Killing vector fields to be minimal and provide an application of the obtained result.

In the first part of this paper we show that, under some conditions, a polynomially demicompact operator can be demicompact. An example involving the Caputo fractional derivative of order ${\alpha}$ is provided. Furthermore, we give a refinement of the left and the right Weyl essential spectra of a closed linear operator involving the class of demicompact ones. In the second part of this work we provide some sufficient conditions on the inputs of a closable block operator matrix, with domain consisting of vectors which satisfy certain conditions, to ensure the demicompactness of its closure. Moreover, we apply the obtained results to determine the essential spectra of this operator.

The classification of the self-dual codes over Galois rings GR(p, 2) and $GR(p^2,2)$ of length 4 is completed for all primes p up to equivalence in terms of automorphism group. We obtain all inequivalent classes and the number of each classes of self-dual codes for all primes.

We observe the structure of a kind of unit-IFP ring that is constructed by Antoine, in relation with units and nilpotent elements. This article concerns the same argument in a more general situation, and study the structure of one-sided zero divisors in such rings. We also provide another kind of unit-IFP ring.

For a connected graph G, an r-maximum edge-coloring is an edge-coloring f defined on E(G) such that at every vertex v with $d_G(v){\geq}r$ exactly r incident edges to v receive the maximum color. The r-maximum index $x^{\prime}_r(G)$ is the least number of required colors to have an r-maximum edge coloring of G. In this paper, we show how the r-maximum index is affected by adding an edge or a vertex. As a main result, we show that for each $r{\geq}3$ the r-maximum index function over the graphs admitting an r-maximum edge-coloring is unbounded and the range is the set of natural numbers. In other words, for each $r{\geq}3$ and $k{\geq}1$ there is a family of graphs G(r, k) with $x^{\prime}_r(G(r,k))=k$. Also, we construct a family of graphs not admitting an r-maximum edge-coloring with arbitrary maximum degrees: for any fixed $r{\geq}3$, there is an infinite family of graphs ${\mathcal{F}}_r=\{G_k:k{\geq}r+1\}$, where for each $k{\geq}r+1$ there is no r-maximum edge-coloring of $G_k$ and ${\Delta}(G_k)=k$.

The aim of this work is to introduce several different volume computational methods of graph polytopes associated with various types of finite simple graphs. Among them, we obtained the recursive volume formula (RVF) that is fundamental and most useful to compute the volume of the graph polytope for an arbitrary finite simple graph.

Let $f=h+{\bar{g}}$ be a harmonic mapping of the unit disk ${\mathbb{D}}$ with the holomorphic part h satisfying that h is injective and $h({\mathbb{D}})$ is an M-linearly connected domain. In this paper, we obtain the sufficient and necessary conditions for f to be bi-Lipschitz, which is in particular, quasiconformal. Moreover, some distortion theorems are also obtained.

We study the polarity of cohomogeneity two isometric actions on Riemannian manifolds of constant negative curvature.

In this paper, we investigate the fractional p&q-Kirchhoff type system $$\{M_1([u]^p_{s,p})(-{\Delta})^s_pu+V_1(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{p-2}u\\{\hfill{10}}={\ell}k^{-1}F_u(x,\;u,\;v)+{\lambda}{\alpha}(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{m-2}u,\;x{\in}{\Omega}\\M_2([u]^q_{s,q})(-{\Delta})^s_qv+V_2(x){\mid}v{\mid}^{q-2}v\\{\hfill{10}}={\ell}k^{-1}F_v(x,u,v)+{\mu}{\alpha}(x){\mid}v{\mid}^{m-2}v,\;x{\in}{\Omega},\\u=v=0,\;x{\in}{\partial}{\Omega},$$ where ${\Omega}{\subset}{\mathbb{R}}^N$ is an unbounded domain with smooth boundary ${\partial}{\Omega}$, and $0<s<1<p{\leq}q$ and sq < N, ${\lambda},{\mu}>0$, $1<m{\leq}k<p^*_s$, ${\ell}{\in}R$, while $[u]^t_{s,t}$ denotes the Gagliardo semi-norm given in (1.2) below. $V_1(x)$, $V_2(x)$, $a(x):{\mathbb{R}}^N{\rightarrow}(0,\;{\infty})$ are three positive weights, $M_1$, $M_2$ are continuous and positive functions in ${\mathbb{R}}^+$. Using variational methods, we prove existence of infinitely many high-energy solutions for the above system.

Let $X=\{X_t\}_{t{\geq}0}$ be a $L{\acute{e}}vy$ process in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ and ${\Omega}$ be an open subset of ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ with finite Lebesgue measure. The quantity $H_{\Omega}(t)={\int_{\Omega}}{\mathbb{P}}^x(X_t{\in}{\Omega})$ dx is called the heat content. In this article we consider its generalized version $H^{\mu}_g(t)={\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}}{\mathbb{E}^xg(X_t){\mu}(dx)$, where g is a bounded function and ${\mu}$ a finite Borel measure. We study its asymptotic behaviour at zero for various classes of $L{\acute{e}}vy$ processes.

In this note, it is proven that the slice Bergman kernels for some axially symmetric slice domains are zero-free by a simple method.

Polynomials with all the coefficients in {0, 1} and constant term 1 are called Newman polynomials, whereas polynomials with all the coefficients in {-1, 1} are called Littlewood polynomials. By exploiting an algorithm developed earlier, we determine the set of Littlewood polynomials of degree at most 12 which divide Newman polynomials. Moreover, we show that every Newman quadrinomial $X^a+X^b+X^c+1$, 15 > a > b > c > 0, has a Littlewood multiple of smallest possible degree which can be as large as 32765.

The paper introduces a modified subgradient extragradient method for solving equilibrium problems involving pseudomonotone and Lipschitz-type bifunctions in Hilbert spaces. Theorem of weak convergence is established under suitable conditions. Several experiments are implemented to illustrate the numerical behavior of the new algorithm and compare it with a well known extragradient method.

For $r{\geq}2$, let ${\mathcal{H}}$ be an r-uniform hypergraph with n vertices and m hyperedges. Let R be a random vertex set obtained by choosing each vertex of ${\mathcal{H}}$ independently with probability p. Let ${\mathcal{H}}[R]$ be the subhypergraph of ${\mathcal{H}}$ induced on R. We obtain an upper bound on the matching number ${\nu}({\mathcal{H}}[R])$ and a lower bound on the independence number ${\alpha}({\mathcal{H}}[R])$ of ${\mathcal{H}}[R]$. First, we show that if $mp^r{\geq}{\log}\;n$, then ${\nu}(H[R]){\leq}2e^{\ell}mp^r$ with probability at least $1-1/n^{\ell}$ for each positive integer ${\ell}$. It is best possible up to a constant factor depending only on ${\ell}$ if $m{\leq}n/r$. Next, we show that if $mp^r{\geq}{\log}\;n$, then ${\alpha}({\mathcal{H}}[R]){\geq}np-{\sqrt{3{\ell}np\;{\log}\;n}-2re^{\ell}mp^r$ with probability at least $1-3/n^{\ell}$.

Let f and g be nonconstant meromorphic (entire, respectively) functions in the complex plane such that f and g are of finite order, let a and b be nonzero complex numbers and let n be a positive integer satisfying $n{\geq}21$ ($n{\geq}12$, respectively). We show that if the difference polynomials $f^n(z)+af(z+{\eta})$ and $g^n(z)+ag(z+{\eta})$ share b CM, and if f and g share 0 and ${\infty}$ CM, where ${\eta}{\neq}0$ is a complex number, then f and g are either equal or at least closely related. The results in this paper are difference analogues of the corresponding results from.

In this paper, our central focus is upon gamma and beta q-distributions from a probabilistic viewpoint. The gamma and the beta q-distributions are characterized by investing the nature of the joint q-probability density function through the q-independence property and the q-Laplace transform.

In this paper, we prove that if every bounded ${\mathcal{A}}$-harmonic function on a complete Riemannian manifold M is asymptotically constant at infinity of p-nonparabolic ends of M, then each bounded ${\mathcal{A}}$-harmonic function is uniquely determined by the values at infinity of p-nonparabolic ends of M, where ${\mathcal{A}}$ is a nonlinear elliptic operator of type p on M. Furthermore, in this case, every bounded ${\mathcal{A}}$-harmonic function on M has finite energy.

We study additive decompositions (and generalized additive decompositions with a zero-dimensional scheme instead of a finite sum of rank 1 tensors), which are not of minimal degree (for sums of rank 1 tensors with more terms than the rank of the tensor, for a zero-dimensional scheme a degree higher than the cactus rank of the tensor). We prove their existence for all degrees higher than the rank of the tensor and, with strong assumptions, higher than the cactus rank of the tensor. Examples show that additional assumptions are needed to get the minimally spanning scheme of degree cactus +1.

In this paper we study the initial value problem of the non-relativistic Vlasov-Darwin system with generalized variables (VDG). We first prove local existence and uniqueness of a nonnegative classical solution to VDG in three space variables, and establish the blow-up criterion. Then we show that it converges to the well-known Vlasov-Poisson system when the light velocity c tends to infinity in a pointwise sense.

In this paper, following a criterion of E. Yang and L. Yin we discuss whether on the Siegel half-space of genus $g{\geq}2$ a holomorphic derivative exists.
