A Characterization Of Nonprime Powers, Raul Duran Diaz, Luis Hernandez Encinas, Agustin Martin Muñoz, Jaime Muñoz Masque, Seok-Zun Song

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A criterion is presented in order to decide whether agiven integer is a prime power or not. The criterion associatesto each positive integer $m$ a finite set of integers$\mathcal{S}(m)$, each of them $\le m $ and the propertiesof this set are studied. The notion of complementary pairsin $\mathcal{S}(m)$ is introduced and it is proved that if one isable to determine a complementary pair $n,n^\prime $, thena partial factorization of the odd integer $m$ can be obtainedin polynomial time. Some particular cases and examples of these resultsare given.

On Tetravalent Normal Edge-Transitive Cayley Graphs On The Modular Group, Hesam Sharifi, Mohammad Reza Darafsheh

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A Cayley graph $\Gamma=Cay(G, S)$ on a group $G$ with respective toa subset $S\subseteq G$, $S=S^{-1}, 1\notın S$, is said to be normaledge-transitive if $N_{\mathbb{A}ut(\Gamma)}(\rho(G))$ is transitiveon edges of $\Gamma$, where $\rho(G)$ is a subgroup of $\mathbb{A}ut(\Gamma)$isomorphic to $G$. We determine all connected tetravalent normaledge-transitive Cayley graphs on the modular group of order $8n$in the case that every element of $S$ is of order $4n$.

On Generalized Kropina Change Of $M$Th Root Finsler Metrics With Special Curvature Properties, Bankteshwar Tiwari, Ghanashyam Kr. Prajapati

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In the present paper, we consider generalized Kropina change of $m$th root Finsler metrics and prove that every generalized Kropina change of $m$th root Finsler metrics with isotropic Berwald curvature, isotropic mean Berwald curvature, relatively isotropic Landsberg curvature, and relatively isotropic mean Landsberg curvature reduces to the Berwald metric, weakly Berwald metric, Landsberg metric, and weakly Landsberg metric, respectively. We also show that every generalized Kropina change of $m$th root Finsler metrics with almost vanishing $\textbf{H}$-curvature has vanishing $\textbf{H}$-curvature.


New Statistical Randomness Tests: 4-Bit Template Matching Tests, Fati̇h Sulak Jan 2017

New Statistical Randomness Tests: 4-Bit Template Matching Tests, Fati̇h Sulak

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For cryptographic algorithms, secret keys should be generated randomly as the security of the system depends on the key and therefore generation of random sequences is vital. Randomness testing is done by means of statistical randomness tests. In this work, we show that the probabilities for the overlapping template matching test in the NIST test suite are only valid for a specific template and need to be recalculated for the other templates. We calculate the exact distribution for all 4-bit templates and propose new randomness tests, namely template matching tests. The new tests can be applied to any sequence of …

Generalized Trial Equation Method And Its Applications Toduffing And Poisson-Boltzmann Equations, Ali̇ Özyapici Jan 2017

Generalized Trial Equation Method And Its Applications Toduffing And Poisson-Boltzmann Equations, Ali̇ Özyapici

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The trial equation method, which was proposed by Cheng-Shi Liu, is a very powerful method for solving nonlinear differential equations. After the original trial method, some modified versions of the trial equation method were introduced and applied to some famous nonlinear differential equations. Although each modified trial equation method provides a different perspective, they have some weaknesses according to the given differential equations. This is the main reason for introducing modified trial equation methods. This study aims to define a general representation of trial methods for solving nonlinear differential equations. The generalized trial equation method consists of the simple trial …


Solvability Of Boundary Value Problems For Coupled Impulsive Differential Equations With One-Dimensional P-Laplacians, Yuji Liu Jan 2017

Solvability Of Boundary Value Problems For Coupled Impulsive Differential Equations With One-Dimensional P-Laplacians, Yuji Liu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper is concerned with a boundary value problem of impulsive differential systems on the whole line with one-dimensional p-Laplacians. By constructing a weighted Banach space and defining a nonlinear operator, together with Schauder's fixed point theorem, sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of at least one solution are established (Theorems 3.1-3.3). Two examples are given to illustrate the main results.


Finite Volume Approximation Of The Relativistic Burgers Equation On A Schwarzschild-(Anti-)De Sitter Spacetime, Tuba Ceylan, Baver Okutmuştur Jan 2017

Finite Volume Approximation Of The Relativistic Burgers Equation On A Schwarzschild-(Anti-)De Sitter Spacetime, Tuba Ceylan, Baver Okutmuştur

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The relativistic versions of Burgers equations on the Schwarzschild, FLRW, and de Sitter backgrounds have recently been derived and analyzed numerically via finite volume approximation based on the concerned models. In this work, we derive the relativistic Burgers equation on a Schwarzschild-(anti-)de Sitter spacetime and introduce a second-order Godunov-type finite volume scheme for the approximation of discontinuous solutions to the model of interest. The effect of the cosmological constant is also taken into account both theoretically and numerically. The efficiency of the method for solutions containing shock and rarefaction waves are presented by several numerical experiments.

Subspace Condition For Bernstein's Lethargy Theorem, Asuman Güven Aksoy, Monairah Al-Ansari, Caleb Case, Qidi Peng

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider a condition on subspaces in order to improve bounds given in Bernstein's lethargy theorem for Banach spaces. Let $d_1 \geq d_2 \geq \dots d_n \geq \dots > 0$ be an infinite sequence of numbers converging to $0$, and let $Y_1 \subset Y_2 \subset \dots\subset Y_n \subset \dots \subset X$ be a sequence of closed nested subspaces in a Banach space $X$ with the property that $\overline{Y}_{n}\subset Y_{n+1}$ for all $n\ge1$. We prove that for any $c ın (0,1]$ there exists an element $x_c ın X$ such that$$ c d_n \leq \rho(x_c, Y_n) \leq \min (4, \tilde{a}) …

Sufficient Conditions For The Compactifiability Of A Closed One-Form Foliation, Irina Gelbukh

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We study the foliation defined by a closed $1$-form on a connected smooth closed orientable manifold.We call such a foliation compactifiable if all its leaves are closed in the complement of the singular set.In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for compactifiability of the foliation in homological terms.We also show that under these conditions, the foliation can be defined by closed $1$-forms with the ranks of their groups of periods in a certain range.In addition, we describe the structure of the group generated by the homology classes of all compact leaves of the foliation.

Minimizing Graph Of The Connected Graphs Whose Complements Are Bicyclic With Two Cycles, Muhammad Javaid Jan 2017

Minimizing Graph Of The Connected Graphs Whose Complements Are Bicyclic With Two Cycles, Muhammad Javaid

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In a certain class of graphs, a graph is called minimizing if the least eigenvalueof its adjacency matrix attains the minimum. A connected graph containing two or three cycles is called a bicyclic graph if its number of edges is equal to its number of vertices plus one. In this paper, we characterize the minimizinggraph among all the connected graphs that belong to a class of graphs whose complements are bicyclic with two cycles.

On Armendariz-Like Properties In Amalgamated Algebras Along Ideals, Abdeslam Mimouni, Najib Mahdou, Mounir El Ourrachi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $f: A\rightarrow B$ be a ring homomorphism and $J$ be an ideal of $B$. In this paper, we investigate the transfer of Armendariz-like properties to the amalgamation of $A$ with $B$ along $J$ with respect to $f$ (denoted by $A\bowtie^fJ)$ introduced and studied by D'Anna, Finocchiaro, and Fontana in 2009. Our aim is to provide necessary and sufficient conditions for $A\bowtie^fJ$ to be an Armendariz ring, nil-Armendariz ring, and weak Armendariz ring.


On The Bounds Of The Forgotten Topological Index, Suresh Elumalai, Toufik Mansour, Mohammad Ali Rostami Jan 2017

On The Bounds Of The Forgotten Topological Index, Suresh Elumalai, Toufik Mansour, Mohammad Ali Rostami

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The forgotten topological index is defined as the sum of cubes of the degrees of the vertices of the molecular graph $G.$ In this paper, we obtain, analyze, and compare various lower bounds for the forgotten topological index involving the number of vertices, edges, and maximum and minimum vertex degree. Then we give Nordhaus--Gaddum-type inequalities for the forgotten topological index and coindex. Finally, we correct the number of extremal chemical trees on 15 vertices.
