Notes On Magnetic Curves In 3d Semi-Riemannian Manifolds, Zehra Özdemi̇r, İsmai̇l Gök, Yusuf Yayli, Fai̇k Nejat Ekmekci̇ Jan 2015

Notes On Magnetic Curves In 3d Semi-Riemannian Manifolds, Zehra Özdemi̇r, İsmai̇l Gök, Yusuf Yayli, Fai̇k Nejat Ekmekci̇

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A magnetic field is defined by the property that its divergence is zero in three-dimensional semi-Riemannian manifolds. Each magnetic field generates a magnetic flow whose trajectories are curves $\gamma $, called magnetic curves. In this paper, we investigate the effect of magnetic fields on the moving particle trajectories by variational approach to the magnetic flow associated with the Killing magnetic field on three-dimensional semi-Riemannian manifolds. We then investigate the trajectories of these magnetic fields and give some characterizations and examples of these curves.

Warped Product Skew Semi-Invariantsubmanifolds Of Order $1$ Of A Locallyproduct Riemannian Manifold, Hakan Mete Taştan Jan 2015

Warped Product Skew Semi-Invariantsubmanifolds Of Order $1$ Of A Locallyproduct Riemannian Manifold, Hakan Mete Taştan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We introduce warped product skew semi-invariant submanifolds of order $1$ of a locally product Riemannian manifold. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a skew semi-invariant submanifold of order 1 to be a locally warped product. We also establish an inequality between the warping function and the squared norm of the second fundamental form for such submanifolds. The equality case is also discussed.


Invariant Distributions And Holomorphic Vector Fields In Paracontact Geometry, Mircea Crasmareanu, Laurian Ioan Piscoran Jan 2015

Invariant Distributions And Holomorphic Vector Fields In Paracontact Geometry, Mircea Crasmareanu, Laurian Ioan Piscoran

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Having as a model the metric contact case of V. Brînzănescu; R. Slobodeanu, we study two similar subjects in the paracontact (metric) geometry: a) distributions that are invariant with respect to the structure endomorphism $\varphi $; b) the class of vector fields of holomorphic type. As examples we consider both the $3$-dimensional case and the general dimensional case through a Heisenberg-type structure inspired also by contact geometry.

On Certain Minimal Non-$\Mathfrak{Y}$-Groups For Some Classes $\Mathfrak{Y}$, Ahmet Arikan, Selami̇ Ercan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $\{\theta_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of words. If there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $\theta_m(G)=1$ for every $m\geq n$, then we say that $G$ satisfies (*) and denote the class of all groups satisfying (*) by $\mathfrak{X}_{\{\theta_n\}_{n=1}^\infty}$. If for every proper subgroup $K$ of $G$, $K\in \mathfrak{X}_{\{\theta_n\}_{n=1}^\infty}$ but $G\notin\mathfrak{X}_{\{\theta_n\}_{n=1}^\infty}$, then we call $G$ a minimal non-$\mathfrak{X}_{\{\theta_n\}_{n=1}^\infty}$-group. Assume that $G$ is an infinite locally finite group with trivial center and $\theta_i(G)=G$ for all $i\geq 1$. In this case we mainly prove that there exists a positive integer $t$ such that for every proper normal subgroup $N$ of $G$, either …


The Prime Tournaments $T$ With $\Mid\! W_{5}(T) \!\Mid = \Mid\! T \!\Mid -2$, Houmem Belkhechine, Imed Boudabbous, Kaouthar Hzami Jan 2015

The Prime Tournaments $T$ With $\Mid\! W_{5}(T) \!\Mid = \Mid\! T \!\Mid -2$, Houmem Belkhechine, Imed Boudabbous, Kaouthar Hzami

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We consider a tournament $T=(V, A)$. For $X\subseteq V$, the subtournament of $T$ induced by $X$ is $T[X] = (X, A \cap (X \times X))$. A module of $T$ is a subset $X$ of $V$ such that for $a, b\in X$ and $ x\in V\setminus X$, $(a,x)\in A$ if and only if $(b,x)\in A$. The trivial modules of $T$ are $\emptyset$, $\{x\}(x\in V)$, and $V$. A tournament is prime if all its modules are trivial. For $n\geq 2$, $W_{2n+1}$ denotes the unique prime tournament defined on $\{0,\dots,2n\}$ such that $W_{2n+1}[\{0,\dots,2n-1\}]$ is the usual total order. Given a prime tournament $T$, …


Sharp Lower Bounds For The Zagreb Indices Of Unicyclic Graphs, Batmend Horoldagva, Kinkar Das Jan 2015

Sharp Lower Bounds For The Zagreb Indices Of Unicyclic Graphs, Batmend Horoldagva, Kinkar Das

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The first Zagreb index $M_1$ is equal to the sum of the squares of the degrees of the vertices, and the second Zagreb index $M_2$ is equal to the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices of the respective graph. In this paper we present the lower bound on $M_1$ and $M_2$ among all unicyclic graphs of given order, maximum degree, and cycle length, and characterize graphs for which the bound is attained. Moreover, we obtain some relations between the Zagreb indices for unicyclic graphs.


Quadratic Recursive Towers Of Function Fields Over $\Mathbb{F}_2$, Henning Stichtenoth, Seher Tutdere Jan 2015

Quadratic Recursive Towers Of Function Fields Over $\Mathbb{F}_2$, Henning Stichtenoth, Seher Tutdere

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $\FF=(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be a quadratic recursive tower of algebraic function fields over the finite field $\F_2$, i.e. $\FF$ is a recursive tower such that $[F_n:F_{n-1}]=2$ for all $n\geq 1$. For any integer $r\geq 1$, let $\beta_r(\FF):=\lim_{n\to \infty} B_r(F_n)/g(F_n)$, where $B_r(F_n)$ is the number of places of degree $r$ and $g(F_n)$ is the genus, respectively, of $F_n/\F_2$. In this paper we give a classification of all rational functions $f(X,Y)\in \F_2(X,Y)$ that may define a quadratic recursive tower $\FF$ over $\F_2$ with at least one positive invariant $\beta_r(\FF)$. Moreover, we estimate $\beta_1(\FF)$ for each such tower.


Split Extension Classifiers In The Category Of Precrossed Modules Of Commutative Algebras, Yaşar Boyaci, Tufan Sai̇t Kuzpinari, Enver Önder Uslu Jan 2015

Split Extension Classifiers In The Category Of Precrossed Modules Of Commutative Algebras, Yaşar Boyaci, Tufan Sai̇t Kuzpinari, Enver Önder Uslu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We construct an actor of a precat$^{1}$-algebra and then by using the natural equivalence between the categories of precat$^{1}$-algebras and that of precrossed modules, we construct the split extension classifier of the corresponding precrossed module, which gives rise to the representability of actions in the category of precrossed modules of commutative algebras under certain conditions.


Defect Polynomials And Tutte Polynomials Of Some Asymmetric Graphs, Eunice Mphako-Banda, Toufik Mansour Jan 2015

Defect Polynomials And Tutte Polynomials Of Some Asymmetric Graphs, Eunice Mphako-Banda, Toufik Mansour

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We give explicit expressions of the Tutte polynomial of asymmetric complete flower graph and asymmetric incomplete flower graph. We then express these Tutte polynomials as generating functions and decode some valuable information about the asymmetric complete flower graph and asymmetric incomplete flower graph. Furthermore, we convert the Tutte polynomials into coboundary polynomials and give explicit expressions of the $k$-defect polynomials of these structures. Finally, we conclude that nonisomorphic graphs in this class have the same Tutte polynomials, the same chromatic polynomials, and the same defect polynomials.


Fiber Product Preserving Bundle Functors On Fibered-Fibered Manifolds, Wlodzimierz M. Mikulski Jan 2015

Fiber Product Preserving Bundle Functors On Fibered-Fibered Manifolds, Wlodzimierz M. Mikulski

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We introduce the concept of modified vertical Weil functors on the category $\F_2\M_{m_1,m_2}$ of fibered-fibered manifolds with $(m_1,m_2)$-dimensional bases and their local fibered-fibered maps with local fibered diffeomorphisms as base maps. We then describe all fiber product preserving bundle functors on $\F_2\M_{m_1,m_2}$ in terms of modified vertical Weil functors.


On Pseudohyperbolic Space Motions, Tunahan Turhan, Nural Yüksel, Ni̇hat Ayyildiz Jan 2015

On Pseudohyperbolic Space Motions, Tunahan Turhan, Nural Yüksel, Ni̇hat Ayyildiz

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In the present paper, the geometrical instantaneous invariants of the motion $H_{_{m}}/H_{_{f}}\ $in dual Lorentzian $3$-space are determined. Depending on this, the dual Lorentzian instantaneous screw axis of the motion of $K_{_{m}}$ with respect to the dual pseudohyperbolic space $K_{_{m}}$ is constructed. On the other hand, we show that, in each position of $H_{_{m}}$, the fixed and moving axodes have the instantaneous screw axis of this position in common. We also give relations between the geodetic curvature and the curvature of the polodes.


On Condition $(Pwp)_{W}$ For $S$-Posets, Xingliang Liang, Yanfeng Luo Jan 2015

On Condition $(Pwp)_{W}$ For $S$-Posets, Xingliang Liang, Yanfeng Luo

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Golchin and Rezaei (Commun Algebra 2009; 37: 1995--2007) introduced the weak version of Condition $(PWP)$ for $S$-posets, called Condition $(PWP)_{w}$. In this paper, we continue to study this condition. We first present a necessary and sufficient condition under which the $S$-poset $A(I)$ satisfies Condition $(PWP)_{w}$. Furthermore, we characterize pomonoids $S$ over which all cyclic (Rees factor) $S$-posets satisfy Condition $(PWP)_{w}$, and pomonoids $S$ over which all Rees factor $S$-posets satisfying Condition $(PWP)_{w}$ have a certain property. Finally, we consider direct products of $S$-posets satisfying Condition $(PWP)_{w}$.

Existence Of Unique Solution To Switchedfractional Differential Equations With $P$-Laplacian Operator, Xiufeng Guo Jan 2015

Existence Of Unique Solution To Switchedfractional Differential Equations With $P$-Laplacian Operator, Xiufeng Guo

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study a class of nonlinear switched systems of fractional order with $p$-Laplacian operator. By applying a fixed point theorem for a concave operator on a cone, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution for an integral boundary value problem with switched nonlinearity under some suitable assumptions. An illustrative example is included to show that the obtained results are effective.


Special Proper Pointwise Slant Surfaces Of A Locally Product Riemannian Manifold, Mehmet Gülbahar, Erol Kiliç, Semra Saraçoğlu Çeli̇k Jan 2015

Special Proper Pointwise Slant Surfaces Of A Locally Product Riemannian Manifold, Mehmet Gülbahar, Erol Kiliç, Semra Saraçoğlu Çeli̇k

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The structure of pointwise slant submanifolds in an almost product Riemannian manifold is investigated and the special proper pointwise slant surfaces of a locally product manifold are introduced. A relation involving the squared mean curvature and the Gauss curvature of pointwise slant surface of a locally product manifold is proved. Two examples of proper pointwise slant surfaces of a locally product manifold, one of which is special and the other one is not special, are given.


Optimality Criteria For Sum Of Fractional Multiobjective Optimization Problem With Generalized Invexity, Deepak Bhati, Pitam Singh Jan 2015

Optimality Criteria For Sum Of Fractional Multiobjective Optimization Problem With Generalized Invexity, Deepak Bhati, Pitam Singh

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The sum of a fractional program is a nonconvex optimization problem in the field of fractional programming and it is difficult to solve. The development of research is restricted to single objective sums of fractional problems only. The branch and bound methods/algorithms are developed in the literature for this problem as a single objective problem. The theoretical and algorithmic development for sums of fractional programming problems is restricted to single objective problems. In this paper, some new optimality conditions are proposed for the sum of a fractional multiobjective optimization problem with generalized invexity. The optimality conditions are obtained by using …


A Note On The Unit Distance Problem For Planar Configurations With $\Mathbb{Q}$-Independent Direction Set, Mark Herman, Jonathan Pakianathan Jan 2015

A Note On The Unit Distance Problem For Planar Configurations With $\Mathbb{Q}$-Independent Direction Set, Mark Herman, Jonathan Pakianathan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $T(n)$ denote the maximum number of unit distances that a set of $n$ points in the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ can determine with the additional condition that the distinct unit length directions determined by the configuration must be $\mathbb{Q}$-independent. This is related to the Erd\"os unit distance problem but with a simplifying additional assumption on the direction set that holds ``generically''. We show that $T(n+1)-T(n)$ is the Hamming weight of $n$, i.e. the number of nonzero binary coefficients in the binary expansion of $n$, and find a formula for $T(n)$ explicitly. In particular, $T(n)$ is $\Theta(n log(n))$. Furthermore, we describe …

Moduli Spaces Of Arrangements Of 11 Projective Lines With A Quintuple Point, Meirav Amram, Cheng Gong, Mina Teicher, Wan-Yuan Xu Jan 2015

Moduli Spaces Of Arrangements Of 11 Projective Lines With A Quintuple Point, Meirav Amram, Cheng Gong, Mina Teicher, Wan-Yuan Xu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we try to classify moduli spaces of arrangements of 11 lines with quintuple points. We show that moduli spaces of arrangements of 11 lines with quintuple points can consist of more than 2 connected components. We also present defining equations of the arrangements whose moduli spaces are not irreducible after taking quotients by the complex conjugation by Maple and supply some "potential Zariski pairs".


The Iteration Digraphs Of Finite Commutative Rings, Yangjiang Wei, Gaohua Tang Jan 2015

The Iteration Digraphs Of Finite Commutative Rings, Yangjiang Wei, Gaohua Tang

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For a finite commutative ring $S$ (resp., a finite abelian group $S$) and a positive integer $k\geqslant2$, we construct an iteration digraph $G(S, k)$ whose vertex set is $S$ and for which there is a directed edge from $a\in S$ to $b\in S$ if $b=a^k$. We generalize some previous results of the iteration digraphs from the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ of integers modulo $n$ to finite commutative rings, and establish a necessary and sufficient condition for $G(S, k_1)$ and $G(S, k_2)$ to be isomorphic for any finite abelian group $S$.


Some Concrete Operators And Their Properties, Mehmet Gürdal, Mubariz T. Garayev, Suna Saltan Jan 2015

Some Concrete Operators And Their Properties, Mehmet Gürdal, Mubariz T. Garayev, Suna Saltan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We consider integration and double integration operators, the Hardy operator, and multiplication and composition operators on Lebesgue space $L_{p}\left[ 0,1\right] $ and Sobolev spaces $W_{p}^{\left( n\right) }\left[ 0,1\right] $ and $W_{p}^{\left( n\right) }\left( \left[ 0,1\right] \times\left[ 0,1\right] \right) ,$ and we study their properties. In particular, we calculate norm and spectral multiplicity of the Hardy operator and some multiplication operators, investigate its extended eigenvectors, characterize some composition operators in terms of the extended eigenvectors of the Hardy operator, and calculate the numerical radius of the integration operator on the real $L_{2}\left[ 0,1\right] $ space. The main method for our investigation …


Bifurcation And Dynamics Of A Normal Form Map, Reza Khoshsiar Ghaziani Jan 2015

Bifurcation And Dynamics Of A Normal Form Map, Reza Khoshsiar Ghaziani

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper investigates the dynamics and stability properties of a so-called planar truncated normal form map. This kind of map is widely used in the applied context, especially in normal form coefficients of n-dimensional maps. We determine analytically the border collision bifurcation curves that characterize the dynamic behaviors of the system. We first analyze stability of the fixed points and the existence of local bifurcations. Our analysis shows the presence of a rich variety of local bifurcations, namely stable fixed points, periodic cycles, quasiperiodic cycles that are constraints to stable attractors called invariant closed curves, and chaos, where dynamics of …

Balanced Pair Algorithm For A Class Of Cubic Substitutions, Tarek Sellami Jan 2015

Balanced Pair Algorithm For A Class Of Cubic Substitutions, Tarek Sellami

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article we introduce the balanced pair algorithm associated with 2 unimodular Pisot substitutions having the same incidence matrix. We are interested in beta-substitution related to the polynomial x^3 - ax^2 - bx-1 for a \geq b \geq 1. Applying the balanced pair algorithm to these substitutions, we obtain a general formula for the associated intersection substitution.


Arithmetical Rank Of The Edge Ideals Of Some N-Cyclic Graphs With A Common Edge, Guangjun Zhu, Feng Shi, Yan Gu Jan 2015

Arithmetical Rank Of The Edge Ideals Of Some N-Cyclic Graphs With A Common Edge, Guangjun Zhu, Feng Shi, Yan Gu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we present some lower bounds and upper bounds on the arithmetical rank of the edge ideals of some n-cyclic graphs with a common edge. For some special n-cyclic graphs with a common edge, we prove that the arithmetical rank equals the projective dimension of the corresponding quotient ring.


Zero Triple Product Determined Generalized Matrix Algebras, Dong Han Jan 2015

Zero Triple Product Determined Generalized Matrix Algebras, Dong Han

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we prove that the generalized matrix algebra G = \left[ A M N B \right] is a zero triple product (resp. zero Jordan triple product) determined if and only if A and B are zero triple products (resp. zero Jordan triple products) determined under certain conditions. Then the main results are applied to triangular algebras and full matrix algebras.
