On C^1 Robust Singular Transitive Sets For Three-Dimensional Flows, Carlos Arnoldo Morales, Maria José Pacífico, Enrique Ramiro Pujals

Publications and Research

Abstract:

The main goal of this paper is to study robust invariant transitive sets containing singularities for C¹ flows on three-dimensional compact boundaryless manifolds:they are partially hyperbolic with volume expanding central direction. Moreover, they are either attractors or repellers. Robust here means that this property cannot be destroyed by small C¹-perturbations of the flow.

Résumé:

Le but de ce travail est d'étudier des ensembles invariants robustes ayant des singularités pour des flots C¹ sur des variétés tridimensionelles : ce sont des ensembles hyperboliques singuliers. << Robuste >> veut dire ici que cette propriété ne peut être détruite par des …

Timelike Ruled Surfaces In The Minkowski 3-Space-Ii, A. Turgut, H. H. Hacisali̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper is devoted to a study of timelike ruled surfaces in three dimensional Minkowski space obtained by a spacelike straight line moving along a timelike curve. The central point, the curve of striction and the distribution parameter of a timelike ruled surface in Minkowski 3-space are considered, and some theorems relating to their structure are obtained. In addition, some results about developable timelike ruled surfaces are also given.

About Some Classical Functional Equations, Nicolae Neamtu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The purpose of this paper is to give a new method of finding the solution of Lobashevsky's functional equation and those of other classical functional equations. At the beginning we present the properties of solution $f, \; f \neq 0$, of Lobachevsky's functional equation. Using only the boundedness property on $(-r, r)$, we deduce the continuity, convexity and differentiability properties of the solution.

On Certain Varieties Of Semigroups, A. Tiefenbach

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we generalize the class of completely regular semigroups (unions of groups) to the class of local monoids, that is the class of all semigroups where the local subsemigroups \( aSa \) are local submonoids. The sublattice of this variety \( (\mathbf{L}(\caL(\cam)) \) covers another lattice isomorphic to the lattice of all bands \( ([x^2 = x]). \) Every bundvariety \( \cau \) has as image the variety \( \Phi - \cau, \) which is the class of all semigroups, where \( \Phi \) is a \( \cau \)-congruence \( (a \Phi b \Leftrightarrow aSa = bSb). \) …

Theorems On Three-Term Relations For Hardy Sum, Y. Şi̇mşek

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Some three-term and mixed three-term relations for Hardy sums were given by Goldberg [7]. His proofs are based on Bernd's transformation formulae for the logarithms of the classical Theat-functions. Pettet and Sitaramachandararo [9] proved elementary proofs for all of Goldberg's results and also proved some three-term relations of Dedekind sums. In this paper, some new theorems on three-term relations for hardy sums were found by applying derivative operator to three-term polynomial relation. Furthermore, proofs of the reciprocity relations for Hardy sums are presented in a more concise way from the original proofs of Berndt [2, 3, 4] and Goldberg [7].

On The Action Of Steenrod Operations On Polynomial Algebras, İ. Karaca

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let \( \bba \) be the mod-\( p \) Steenrod Algebra. Let \( p \) be an odd prime number and \( Z_{p} = Z/pZ \). Let \( P_{s} = Z_{p} [x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{s}]. \) A polynomial \( N \in P_{s} \) is said to be hit if it is in the image of the action \( A \otimes P_{s} \ra P_{s}. \) In [10] for \( p=2, \) Wood showed that if \( \a(d+s) > s \) then every polynomial of degree \( d \) in \( P_{s} \) is hit where \( \a(d+s) \) denotes the number of ones in the …

Derivation Of Separable Amplitude Equations By Multiple Scales Method, Mehmet Naci̇ Özer, Dursun Eser

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The method of multiple scales is used to derive separable nonlinear Schrödinger equations as amplitude equation from three component 2D nonlinear Klein-Gordon Equation. We further discuss the integrability of the derived separable amplitude equations and reduce them into finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems. Finally we give first integrals for the reduced systems.

Direct Sums And The Schur Property, Betül Tanbay

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

It is a known fact that $\ell^1$, the dual space of the null sequences $c_0$, has the Schur property, that is, weakly convergent sequences in $\ell^1$ are norm convergent. In this paper, we prove that if $(X_{\alpha})_{\alpha\in I}$ are Banach spaces and $X=(\oplus_{\alpha\in I}X_{\alpha})_1$ their $l_1$-sum, then the space $X$ has the Schur property iff each factor $X_{\alpha}$ has it.

Normal Subgroups Of Hecke Groups On Sphere And, İsmai̇l Naci̇ Cangül, Osman Bi̇zi̇m

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We use regular map theory to obtain all normal subgroups of Hecke groups of genus 0 and 1. The existence of a regular map corresponding uniquely to every normal subgroup of Hecke groups H(\lambda_q) is a result of Jones and Singerman, and it is frequently used here to obtain normal subgroups. It is found that when q is even, H(\lambda_q) has infinitely many normal subgroups on the sphere, while for odd q, this number is finite. The total number of normal subgroups of H(\lambda_q) on a torus is found to be either 0 or infinite. The latter case appears iff …

Dynamical System Topology Preserved In The Presence Of Noise, Judy A. Kennedy, James A. Yorke

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We first give a precise definition of the terms ``topological horseshoe'' and ``generalized quadrilateral'' and then examine the behavior of a homeomorphism F on a locally compact, separable, locally connected metric space X (X is usually a manifold in applications) such that F restricted to some generalized quadrilateral Q in X is a topological horseshoe map. For a set Q \subset X we define and describe (1) the permanent set Z of Q to be \{x\in X:F^n(x)\in Q for all integers n\}, and (2) the entrainment set of Q to be E(Q)=\{x\in X: F^{-n} (x)\in Q for all sufficiently large …

On The Cohomology Ring Of The Infinite Flag Manifold Lg/D, Cenap Özel

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this work, we discuss the calculation of cohomology rings of LG / T. First we describe the root system and Weyl group of LG, then we give some homotopy equivalences on the loop groups and homogeneous spaces, and investigate the cohomology ring structures of LSU_2 /T and \Omega SU_2. Also we prove that BGG-type operators correspond to partial derivation operators on the divided power algebras.

Gn.3(C) Is Prime If N Is Odd, John Ferdinands

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

A finite CW complex X is said to be prime if for every Hurewicz fibration F → E → B with E homotopy equivalent to X, and B and F homotopically equivalent to finite CW complexes, either B or F is contractible. We show that the 3-plane complex Grassmannian Gn.3(C) is prime if n is odd.

Generalized Inverse Estimator And Comparison With Least Squares Estimator, S. Sakallıoğlu, F. Akdeniz

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Trenkler [13] described an iteration estimator. This estimator is defined as follows: for $0 < \gamma < 1/\lambda_i \max$ \[ \hat{\beta}_{m, \gamma} = \gamma \sum^m_{i=0} (1-\gamma X'X)^i X'y , \] where $\lambda_i$ are eigenvalues of $X'X$. In this paper a new estimator (generalized inverse estimator) is introduced based on the results of Tewarson [11]. A sufficient condition for the difference of mean square error matrices of least squares estimator and generalized inverse estimator to be positive definite (p.d.) is derived.

Characterisations Of Slender Groups, Thomas Kelly

Masters

Chapter 1 summarises some necessary results concerning free, divisible, algebraically compact and cotorsion groups. A detailed proof of the well-known result that the Specker group P is ℵ1 free but not free is included and the structure of the quotient group P/S is determined. The basic properties of slender groups are examined and cotorsion groups of cardinality less than or equal to that of the continuum are shown to be epimorphic images of P. Chapter II presents Nunke’s characterisation of slender groups. This approach establishes that homomorphic images of the Specker group P are the direct sum of a cotorsion …

A Mathematical Model For Fibroblast And Collagen Orientation, J. C. Dallon, J. A. Sherratt

Faculty Publications

Due to the increasing importance of the extracellular matrix in many biological problems, in this paper we develop a model for fibroblast and collagen orientation with the ultimate objective of understanding how fibroblasts form and remodel the extracellular matrix, in particular its collagen component. The model uses integro-differential equations to describe the interaction between the cells and fibers at a point in space with various orientations. The equations are studied both analytically and numerically to discover different types of solutions and their behavior. In particular we examine solutions where all the fibroblasts and collagen have discrete orientations, a localized continuum …

On The Differential Prime Radical Of A Differential Ring, Djavvat Khadjiev, Fethi̇ Çallialp

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we have obtained the following results for a differential ring (associative or nonassociative): (1) For a differential ring ({\cal D}-ring) we introduce definitions of a {\cal D}-prime {\cal D}-ideal, {\cal D}-semiprime {\cal D}-ideal and a strongly {\cal D}-nilpotent element. We define the {\cal D}-prime radical as the intersection of all {\cal D}-prime {\cal D}-ideals. For any {\cal D}-ring the {\cal D}-prime radical, the intersection of all {\cal D}-semiprime {\cal D}-semiprime {\cal D}-ideals and the set of all strongly {\cal D}-nilpotent elements are equal. (2) For a {\cal D}-ring we introduce a definition of an s-nilpotent {\cal D}-ideal. …
