On Modules Which Satisfy The Radical Formula, Bülent Saraç, Yücel Tiraş Jan 2013

On Modules Which Satisfy The Radical Formula, Bülent Saraç, Yücel Tiraş

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, the authors prove that every representable module over a commutative ring with identity satisfies the radical formula. With this result, they extend the class of modules satisfying the radical formula from that of Artinian modules to a larger one. They conclude their work by giving a description of the radical of a submodule of a representable module.


On Theta Pair For A Proper Subalgebra, Ali Reza Salemkar, Sara Chehrazi, Hamid Mohammadzadeh Jan 2013

On Theta Pair For A Proper Subalgebra, Ali Reza Salemkar, Sara Chehrazi, Hamid Mohammadzadeh

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For a proper subalgebra K of a finite dimensional Lie algebra L, a pair (A,B) of subalgebras of L is called a \theta-pair if L = \langle A,K\rangle, B is the largest ideal of L contained in A\cap K and for each proper subalgebra C/B of A/B which is an ideal of L/B, we have L\neq C+K. In this article, using this concept, we give some characterizations of solvability and supersolvability of a finite dimensional Lie algebra.

Generalized Sobolev-Shubin Spaces, Boundedness And Schatten Class Properties Of Toeplitz Operators, Ayşe Sandikçi, Ahmet Turan Gürkanli

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let w and \omega be two weight functions on R^{2d} and 1 \leq p,q \leq \infty. Also let M(p,q,\omega) (R^d) denote the subspace of tempered distributions S' (R^d) consisting of f \in S' (R^d) such that the Gabor transform V_g f of f is in the weighted Lorentz space L(p,q,\omega d\mu) (R^{2d}) . In the present paper we define a space Q_{g,w}^{M(p,q,\omega) (R^d) as counter image of M(p,q,\omega) (R^d) under Toeplitz operator with symbol w. We show that Q_{g,w}^{M(p,q,\omega)}(R^d) is a generalization of usual Sobolev-Shubin space Q_s (R^d). We also investigate the boundedness and Schatten-class properties of Toeplitz operators.

On The Nilpotent Graph Of A Ring, Mohammad Javad Nikmehr, Soheila Khojasteh

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let R be a ring with unity. The nilpotent graph of R, denoted by \Gamma_N(R), is a graph with vertex set Z_N(R)^* = {0 \neq x \in R \mid xy \in N(R) for some 0 \neq y \in R}; and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy \in N(R), where N(R) is the set of all nilpotent elements of R. Recently, it has been proved that if R is a left Artinian ring, then diam(\Gamma_N(R)) \leq 3. In this paper, we present a new proof for the above result, where R is a finite …

Products Of Conjugacy Classes And Products Of Irreducible Characters In Finite Groups, Mohammad Reza Darafsheh, Sajjad Mahmood Robati

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let G be a finite group. If A and B are two conjugacy classes in G, then AB is a union of conjugacy classes in G and \eta(AB) denotes the number of distinct conjugacy classes of G contained in AB. If \chi and \psi are two complex irreducible characters of G, then \chi\psi is a character of G and again we let \eta(\chi\psi) be the number of irreducible characters of G appearing as constituents of \chi\psi. In this paper our aim is to study the product of conjugacy classes in a finite group and obtain an upper bound for \eta …

Second Order Approximations In Sequential Point Estimation Of The Probability Of Zero In Poisson Distribution, Eisa Mahmoudi, Mohammad Hatami Kamin Jan 2013

Second Order Approximations In Sequential Point Estimation Of The Probability Of Zero In Poisson Distribution, Eisa Mahmoudi, Mohammad Hatami Kamin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In the analysis of the count data, the Poisson model becomes overtly restrictive in the case of over-dispersed or under-dispersed data. When count data are under-dispersed, specific models such as generalized linear models (GLM) are proposed. Other examples are the zero-inflated Poisson model (ZIP) and zero-truncated Poisson model (ZTP), which have been used in literature to deal with an excess or absence of zeros in count data. Thus having a knowledge of the probability of zeros and its estimation in Poisson distribution can be significant and useful. Some estimation problems with unknown parameter cannot attain minimum risk where the sample …

Global And Finitistic Dimension Of Hopf-Galois Extensions, Ling Liu, Qiaoling Guo

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let H be a Hopf algebra over a field k and A/B a right H-Galois extension. Then in this note a spectral sequence for Ext will be constructed which yields the estimate for global dimension of A in terms of the corresponding data for H and B. As an application, we obtain the Maschke-type theorems for crossed products and twisted smash products. Finally, the relationship of finitistic dimensions between A and B will be given, if H is semisimple.

Generalized Derivations Of Prime Rings On Multilinear Polynomials With Annihilator Conditions, Nurcan Argaç, Çağri Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let K be a commutative ring with unity, R be a prime K-algebra with characteristic not 2, U be the right Utumi quotient ring of R, C the extended centroid of R, I a nonzero right ideal of R and a a fixed element of R. Let g be a generalized derivation of R and f(X_1,..., X_n) a multilinear polynomial over K. If ag(f(x_1,...,x_n))f(x_1,...,x_n)=0 for all x_1,...,x_n \in I, then one of the following holds: (1) aI=ag(I)=0; (2) g(x)=bx+[c,x] for all x\in R, where b,c\in U. In this case either [c,I]I=0=abI or aI=0=a(b+c)I; (3) [f(X_1,...,X_n),X_{n+1}]X_{n+2} is an identity for I.


Strongly Gorenstein Flat And Gorenstein Fp-Injective Modules, Chunhua Yang Jan 2013

Strongly Gorenstein Flat And Gorenstein Fp-Injective Modules, Chunhua Yang

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we first study the properties of strongly Gorenstein flat (resp. Gorenstein FP-injective) modules which are special Gorenstein projective (resp. Gorenstein injective) modules, and use them to prove that the global strongly Gorenstein flat dimension and the global Gorenstein FP-injective dimension of a ring R are identical when R is n-FC or commutative coherent. Finally, we show that if R is a commutative Noetherian ring, then, for any R-module M, SGfd_RM=Gpd_RM, and hence SGfd_RM< \infty if and only if Gfd_RM

Some Properties On The Baer-Invariant Of A Pair Of Groups And V_G-Marginal Series, Mohammad Reza Rismanchian, Mehdi Araskhan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The aim of this paper is to present some properties of the Baer-invariant of a pair of groups with respect to a given variety of groups V. We derive some equalities and inequalities of the Baer-invariant of a pair of finite groups, as long as V is considered to be a Schur-Baer variety. Moreover, we present a relative version of the concept of lower marginal series and give some isomorphisms among V_G-marginal factor groups. Also, we conclude a generalized version of the Stallings' theorem.

We prove a growth theorem for a function to belong to the class \sum(\mu;a) and generalize a Weierstrass-Enneper representation type theorem for the minimal surfaces given in [5] to spacelike minimal surfaces which lie in 3-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space L^3. We also obtain some estimates of the Gaussian curvature of the minimal surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space R^3 and of the spacelike minimal surfaces in L^3.


(P,\\Lambda)-Koszul Algebras And Modules, Ii, Jiafeng Lu Jan 2013

(P,\\Lambda)-Koszul Algebras And Modules, Ii, Jiafeng Lu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper is a continuous work of [14], where the notions of (p,\lambda)-Koszul algebra and (p,\lambda)-Koszul module were first introduced. More precisely, some new criteria for a positively graded algebra to be (p,\lambda)-Koszul are provided. We also generalize (p,\lambda)-Koszul objects to the nongraded case and define the so-called quasi-(p,\lambda)-Koszul objects. Further, the relationships between (quasi-) (p,\lambda)-Koszul modules and minimal Horseshoe Lemma are established.

Sasakian Finsler Manifolds, Ayşe Funda Yaliniz, Nesri̇n Çalişkan Jan 2013

Sasakian Finsler Manifolds, Ayşe Funda Yaliniz, Nesri̇n Çalişkan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this study, almost contact Finsler structures on vector bundle are defined and the condition of normality in terms of the Nijenhuis torsion N_{\phi} of almost contact Finsler structure is obtained. It is shown that for a K-contact structure on Finsler manifold \nabla_X \xi =-\frac{1}{2} \phi X and the flag curvature for plane sections containing \xi are equal to \frac{1}{4}. By using the Sasakian Finsler structure, the curvatures of a Finsler connection \nabla on V are obtained. We prove that a locally symmetric Finsler manifold with K-contact Finsler structure has a constant curvature \frac{1}{4}. Also, the Ricci curvature on Finsler …

On Nash\'S 4-Sphere And Property 2r, Motoo Tange

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

D. Nash defined a family of homotopy 4-spheres in [11]. Proving that his manifolds S_{m,n,m',n'} are all real S^4, we show that they have handle decomposition with no 1-handles, two 2-handles and two 3-handles. The handle structures give new potential counterexamples to the Property 2R conjecture.

Circulating Current Analysis Between Strands In Armature Winding Of A Turbo-Generator Using Analytical Model, Karim Abbaszadeh, Farhad Rezaee Alam Jan 2013

Circulating Current Analysis Between Strands In Armature Winding Of A Turbo-Generator Using Analytical Model, Karim Abbaszadeh, Farhad Rezaee Alam

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, the circulating current analysis between strands is studied while considering the different transpositions in the active part and without considering the transposition in the end winding region. First, this analysis is done while only considering the slot region, and then the end winding region is added to the model. The model used for this analysis is a circuit model, including the resistance and inductance of the strands and their induced back-electromotive force (EMF). The back-EMF sources and inductances are calculated through a 2D finite element analysis (FEA) of the active part and a 3D FEA for the …


Current-Mode Quadrature Oscillator Based On Cccdtas With Noninteractive Dual-Current Control For Both Condition Of Oscillation And Frequency Of Oscillation, Adirek Jantakun, Winai Jaikla Jan 2013

Current-Mode Quadrature Oscillator Based On Cccdtas With Noninteractive Dual-Current Control For Both Condition Of Oscillation And Frequency Of Oscillation, Adirek Jantakun, Winai Jaikla

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The realization of 2 current-mode quadrature oscillators using current-controlled current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CCCDTAs) and grounded capacitors is presented. The proposed oscillators can provide 2 sinusoidal output currents with a 90° phase difference. They enable noninteractive dual-current control for both the condition of oscillation and the frequency ofi oscillation. The high-output impedances of the configurations enable the circuit to be cascaded without additional current buffers. The use of only grounded capacitors is ideal for integration. The circuit performances are depicted through PSpice simulations; they show good agreement to theoretical anticipation.

Modified Iterated Extended Kalman Particle Filter For Single Satellite Passive Tracking, Panlong Wu, Jianshou Kong, Yuming Bo

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Single satellite-to-satellite passive tracking techniques have great significance in space surveillance systems. A new passive modified iterated extended Kalman particle filter (MIEKPF) using bearings-only measurements in the Earth-Centered Inertial Coordinate System is proposed. The modified iterated extended Kalman filter (MIEKF), with a new maximum likelihood iteration termination criterion, is used to generate the proposal distribution of the MIEKPF. Moreover, a new measurement update equation of the MIEKF is derived by modifying the objective function of the Gauss--Newton iteration. The approximated second-order linearized state propagation equation, Jacobian matrix of state transfer, and measurement equations are derived in satellite 2-body movement. The …
