Applications Of The Golden Ratio On Riemannian Manifolds, Cristina-Elena Hretcanu, Mircea Craşmareanu Jan 2009

Applications Of The Golden Ratio On Riemannian Manifolds, Cristina-Elena Hretcanu, Mircea Craşmareanu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The Golden Ratio is a fascinating topic that continually generates new ideas. The main purpose of the present paper is to point out and find some applications of the Golden Ratio and of Fibonacci numbers in Differential Geometry. We study a structure defined on a class of Riemannian manifolds, called by us a Golden Structure. A Riemannian manifold endowed with a Golden Structure will be called a Golden Riemannian manifold. Precisely, we say that an (1,1)-tensor field \widetilde{P} on a m-dimensional Riemannian manifold (\widetilde{M}, \widetilde{g}) is a Golden Structure if it satisfies the equation \widetilde{P}^{2}=\widetilde{P}+I (which is similar to that …

Lebesgue-Stieltjes Measure On Time Scales, Asli Deni̇z, Ünal Ufuktepe Jan 2009

Lebesgue-Stieltjes Measure On Time Scales, Asli Deni̇z, Ünal Ufuktepe

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The theory of time scales was introduced by Stefan Hilger in his Ph. D. thesis in 1988, supervised by Bernd Auldbach, in order to unify continuous and discrete analysis [5]. Measure theory on time scales was first constructed by Guseinov [4], then further studies were made by Guseinov-Bohner [1], Cabada-Vivero [2] and Rzezuchowski [6]. In this article, we adapt the concept of Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure to time scales. We define Lebesgue-Stieltjes \Delta and \nabla-measures and by using these measures, we define an integral adapted to time scales, specifically Lebesgue-Stieltjes \Delta-integral. We also establish the relation between Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure and Lebesgue-Stieltjes \Delta-measure, …


Korovkin Type Error Estimates For Positive Linear Operators Involving Some Special Functions, Ogün Doğru, Esra Erkuş-Duman Jan 2009

Korovkin Type Error Estimates For Positive Linear Operators Involving Some Special Functions, Ogün Doğru, Esra Erkuş-Duman

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In the present paper, we introduce a new sequence of linear positive operators with the help of generating functions. We obtain some Korovkin type approximation properties for these operators and compute rates of convergence by means of the first and second order modulus of continuities and Peetre´s K-functional. In order to obtain explicit expressions for the first and second moment of our operators, we obtain a functional differential equation including our operators. Furthermore, we deal with a modification of our operators converging to integral of function f on the interval (0,1).


Strong Convergence Theorems By An Extragradient Method For Solving Variational Inequalities And Equilibrium Problems In A Hilbert Space, Poom Kumam Jan 2009

Strong Convergence Theorems By An Extragradient Method For Solving Variational Inequalities And Equilibrium Problems In A Hilbert Space, Poom Kumam

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce an iterative process for finding the common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for monotone, Lipschitz-continuous mappings. The iterative process is based on the so-called extragradient method. We show that the sequence converges strongly to a common element of the above three sets under some parametric controlling conditions. This main theorem extends a recent result of Yao, Liou and Yao [Y. Yao, Y. C. Liou and J.-C. Yao, ''An Extragradient Method for Fixed …

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Motivated by [1], we study on \tau-lifting modules (rings) and \tau-semiperfect modules (rings) for a preradical \tau and give some equivalent conditions. We prove that; i) if M is a projective \tau-lifting module with \tau(M) \subseteq \delta(M), then M has the finite exchange property; ii) if R is a left hereditary ring and \tau is a left exact preradical, then every \tau-semiperfect module is \tau--lifting; iii) R is \tau-lifting if and only if every finitely generated free module is \tau-lifting if and only if every finitely generated projective module is \tau-lifting; iv) if \tau (R) \subseteq \delta (R), then R …

Perturbation Of Closed Range Operators, Mohammad Sal Moslehian, Ghadir Sadeghi Jan 2009

Perturbation Of Closed Range Operators, Mohammad Sal Moslehian, Ghadir Sadeghi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let T, A be operators with domains D(T) \subseteq D(A) in a normed space X. The operator A is called T-bounded if Ax \leq a x +b Tx for some a, b\geq 0 and all x \in D(T). If A has the Hyers--Ulam stability then under some suitable assumptions we show that both T and S: = A+T have the Hyers--Ulam stability. We also discuss the best constant of Hyers--Ulam stability for the operator S. Thus we establish a link between T-bounded operators and Hyers--Ulam stability.

In this paper, we introduce a modification of the Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operators, which preserve the linear functions. This type of operator modification enables better error estimation on the interval [1/2,+\infty) than the classical Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operators. We also obtain a Voronovskaya-type theorem for these operators.
