TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the study of fractal operator theory for multivalued operators on complete b-metric spaces to the case of complete or compact metric spaces.
Abstract: Fractals and multivalued fractals play an important role in biology, quantum mechanics, computer graphics, dynamical systems, astronomy and astrophysics, geophysics, etc. Especially, there are important consequences of the iterated function (or multifunction) systems theory in several topics of applied sciences. It is known that examples of fractals and multivalued fractals are coming from fixed point theory for single-valued and multivalued operators, via the so-called fractal and multi-fractal operators. On the other hand, the most common setting for the study of fractals and multi-fractals is the case of operators on complete or compact metric spaces. The purpose of this paper is to extend the study of fractal operator theory for multivalued operators on complete b-metric spaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce anti-invariant Riemannian submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemanian manifold and give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Langrangian submersion to be totally geodesic.
Abstract: We introduce anti-invariant Riemannian submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We give an example, investigate the geometry of foliations which are arisen from the definition of a Riemannian submersion and check the harmonicity of such submersions. We also find necessary and sufficient conditions for a Langrangian Riemannian submersion, a special anti-invariant Riemannian submersion, to be totally geodesic. Moreover, we obtain decomposition theorems for the total manifold of such submersions.

TL;DR: In this paper, asymptotic properties of the third-order neutral differential equation were studied. But the objective of this paper was not to study the convergence of non-oscillatory solutions of (E) to zero, but to establish sufficient conditions that all nonoscillatorial solutions converge to zero or all oscillatory solutions are oscillatory.
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to study asymptotic properties of the third-order neutral differential equation $$ \left[ {a\left( t \right)\left( {\left[ {x\left( t \right) + p\left( t \right)x\left( {\sigma \left( t \right)} \right)} \right]^{\prime \prime } } \right)^\gamma } \right]^\prime + q\left( t \right)f\left( {x\left[ {\tau \left( t \right)} \right]} \right) = 0, t \geqslant t_0 . \left( E \right) $$ . We will establish two kinds of sufficient conditions which ensure that either all nonoscillatory solutions of (E) converge to zero or all solutions of (E) are oscillatory. Some examples are considered to illustrate the main results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the basic geometric classes of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space, determined by conditions on their invariants, can be interpreted in terms of the properties of two geometric figures: the tangent indicatrix and the normal curvature ellipse.
Abstract: In the tangent plane at any point of a surface in the four-dimensional Euclidean space we consider an invariant linear map ofWeingarten-type and find a geometrically determined moving frame field. Writing derivative formulas of Frenet-type for this frame field, we obtain eight invariant functions. We prove a fundamental theorem of Bonnet-type, stating that these eight invariants under some natural conditions determine the surface up to a motion. We show that the basic geometric classes of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space, determined by conditions on their invariants, can be interpreted in terms of the properties of two geometric figures: the tangent indicatrix, which is a conic in the tangent plane, and the normal curvature ellipse. We construct a family of surfaces with flat normal connection.

TL;DR: A new proof is given showing that it is not possible to define in monadic second-order logic (MSO) a choice function on the infinite binary tree and how the result can be used to prove the inherent ambiguity of languages of infinite trees.
Abstract: We give a new proof showing that it is not possible to define in monadic second-order logic (MSO) a choice function on the infinite binary tree. This result was first obtained by Gurevich and Shelah using set theoretical arguments. Our proof is much simpler and only uses basic tools from automata theory. We show how the result can be used to prove the inherent ambiguity of languages of infinite trees. In a second part we strengthen the result of the non-existence of an MSO-definable well-founded order on the infinite binary tree by showing that every infinite binary tree with a well-founded order has an undecidable MSO-theory.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that there is also an equivalence of the singular derived categories of the fibers f−1(0) and g−1 (0) of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface in a weighted projective space.
Abstract: Let X and Y be two smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks and consider a pair of functions f: X → \( \mathbb{A}^1 \), g:Y → \( \mathbb{A}^1 \). Assuming that there exists a complex of sheaves on X × \( \mathbb{A}^1 \)Y which induces an equivalence of Db(X) and Db(Y), we show that there is also an equivalence of the singular derived categories of the fibers f−1(0) and g−1(0). We apply this statement in the setting of McKay correspondence, and generalize a theorem of Orlov on the derived category of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface in a weighted projective space, to products of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in simplicial toric varieties with nef anticanonical class.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for any connected graph G of order n ≥ 3 and δ(G) ≥ 2, the maximum number of edges in a matching in G can be characterized with sdγghazi t�� (G)=2γ�γ� (G)−1.
Abstract: A set S of vertices of a graph G = (V, E) without isolated vertex is a total dominating set if every vertex of V(G) is adjacent to some vertex in S. The total domination number γ t (G) is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G. The total domination subdivision number sdγt (G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the total domination number. Karami, Khoeilar, Sheikholeslami and Khodkar, (Graphs and Combinatorics, 2009, 25, 727–733) proved that for any connected graph G of order n ≥ 3, sdγ t (G) ≤ 2γ t (G) − 1 and posed the following problem: Characterize the graphs that achieve the aforementioned upper bound. In this paper we first prove that sdγ t (G) ≤ 2α′(G) for every connected graph G of order n ≥ 3 and δ(G) ≥ 2 where α′(G) is the maximum number of edges in a matching in G and then we characterize all connected graphs G with sdγ t (G)=2γ t (G)−1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterised Green's relations and ideals in E(X, σ) under composition of all linear transformations β of a vector space V such that W ⊆ ker β, where W is a fixed subspace of V.
Abstract: Suppose σ is an equivalence on a set X and let E(X, σ) denote the semigroup (under composition) of all α: X → X such that σ ⊆ α ∘ α −1. Here we characterise Green’s relations and ideals in E(X, σ). This is analogous to recent work by Sullivan on K(V, W), the semigroup (under composition) of all linear transformations β of a vector space V such that W ⊆ ker β, where W is a fixed subspace of V.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if T: A → B is a surjective mapping, not assumed to be linear, satisfying r(T(a) + T(b)) = r(a + b) for all a; b ∈ A, where e is unit element of A, then T is an algebra isomorphism.
Abstract: Let A and B be unital, semisimple commutative Banach algebras with the maximal ideal spaces MA and MB, respectively, and let r(a) be the spectral radius of a. We show that if T: A → B is a surjective mapping, not assumed to be linear, satisfying r(T(a) + T(b)) = r(a + b) for all a; b ∈ A, then there exist a homeomorphism φ: MB → MA and a closed and open subset K of MB such that $$ \widehat{T\left( a \right)}\left( y \right) = \left\{ \begin{gathered} \widehat{T\left( e \right)}\left( y \right)\hat a\left( {\phi \left( y \right)} \right) y \in K \hfill \\ \widehat{T\left( e \right)}\left( y \right)\overline {\hat a\left( {\phi \left( y \right)} \right)} y \in M_\mathcal{B} \backslash K \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. $$ for all a ∈ A, where e is unit element of A. If, in addition, \( \widehat{T\left( e \right)} = 1 \) and \( \widehat{T\left( {ie} \right)} = i \) on MB, then T is an algebra isomorphism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors initiated the study of signed k-domination in digraphs and presented some sharp lower bounds for γkS(D) in terms of the order, the maximum and minimum outdegree and indegree, and the chromatic number.
Abstract: Let k ≥ 1 be an integer, and let D = (V; A) be a finite simple digraph, for which dD− ≥ k − 1 for all v ɛ V. A function f: V → {−1; 1} is called a signed k-dominating function (SkDF) if f(N−[v]) ≥ k for each vertex v ɛ V. The weight w(f) of f is defined by \( \sum olimits_{v \in V} {f(v)} \). The signed k-domination number for a digraph D is γkS(D) = min {w(f|f) is an SkDF of D. In this paper, we initiate the study of signed k-domination in digraphs. In particular, we present some sharp lower bounds for γkS(D) in terms of the order, the maximum and minimum outdegree and indegree, and the chromatic number. Some of our results are extensions of well-known lower bounds of the classical signed domination numbers of graphs and digraphs.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the moduli space of anti-self-dual connections on a (4,4)-manifold is also hypercomplex, and admits a strong HKT metric.
Abstract: A hypercomplex manifold is a manifold equipped with three complex structures I, J, K satisfying the quaternionic relations. Let M be a 4-dimensional compact smooth manifold equipped with a hypercomplex structure, and E be a vector bundle on M. We show that the moduli space of anti-self-dual connections on E is also hypercomplex, and admits a strong HKT metric. We also study manifolds with (4,4)-supersymmetry, that is, Riemannian manifolds equipped with a pair of strong HKT-structures that have opposite torsion. In the language of Hitchin’s and Gualtieri’s generalized complex geometry, (4,4)-manifolds are called “generalized hyperkahler manifolds”. We show that the moduli space of anti-self-dual connections on M is a (4,4)-manifold if M is equipped with a (4,4)-structure.

TL;DR: It is proved that the isomorphism relation for ω-tree-automatic boolean algebras is not determined by the axiomatic system ZFC and is neither a Σ21- set nor a Π21-set.
Abstract: An ω-tree-automatic structure is a relational structure whose domain and relations are accepted by Muller or Rabin tree automata. We investigate in this paper the isomorphism problem for ω-tree-automatic structures. We prove first that the isomorphism relation for ω-tree-automatic boolean algebras (respectively, partial orders, rings, commutative rings, non commutative rings, non commutative groups, nilpotent groups of class n ≥ 2) is not determined by the axiomatic system ZFC. Then we prove that the isomorphism problem for ω-tree-automatic boolean algebras (respectively, partial orders, rings, commutative rings, non commutative rings, non commutative groups, nilpotent groups of class n ≥ 2) is neither a Σ21-set nor a Π21-set.
