Characterization Of Substantially And Quasi-Substantially Efficient Solutions In Multiobjective Optimization Problems, Latif Pourkarimi, Masoud Karimi
Characterization Of Substantially And Quasi-Substantially Efficient Solutions In Multiobjective Optimization Problems, Latif Pourkarimi, Masoud Karimi
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we study the notion of substantial efficiency for a given multiobjective optimization problem. We provide two characterizations for substantially efficient solutions: the first one is based on a scalar problem and the second one is in terms of a stability concept. Moreover, this paper introduces the notion of quasi-substantial efficiency. Similar to those of substantial efficiency, two characterizations for quasi-substantially efficient solutions are obtained.

Computation Of Conditional Expectation Based On The Multidimensional J-Process Using Malliavin Calculus Related To Pricing American Options, Mohamed Kharrat
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this work, we extend the uni-dimensional results, already found by Jerbi and Kharrat, for the multidimensional case: we compute the Malliavin weights related to the conditional expectation $\mathbb{E}(P_{t}(X_{t}) (X_{s}))$ for $0 \leq s \leq t$, where the only state variable follows a multidimensional J-process.

Factorization With Respect To A Divisor-Closed Multiplicative Submonoid Of A Ring, Ashkan Nikseresht, Abdulrasool Azizi
Factorization With Respect To A Divisor-Closed Multiplicative Submonoid Of A Ring, Ashkan Nikseresht, Abdulrasool Azizi
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we consider factorizations of elements of a divisor-closed multiplicative submonoid of a ring and also factorizations of elements of a module as a product of elements coming from a divisor-closed multiplicative submonoid of the ring and another element of the module. In particular, we study uniqueness and some other properties of such factorizations and investigate the behavior of these factorizations under direct sum and product of rings and modules.
Ranges And Kernels Of Derivations, Mohamed Ech Chad
Ranges And Kernels Of Derivations, Mohamed Ech Chad
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper we establish some properties concerning the class of operators $A\in {\cal L(H)}$ that satisfy $\overline{ { \cal R }(\delta_{A})}\cap\{A\}'=\{0\}$, where $\overline{ { \cal R }(\delta_{A})}$ is the norm closure of the range of the inner derivation $\delta_{A},$ defined on ${\cal L(H)}$ by $\delta_{A}(X)=AX-XA$. Here ${\cal H}$ stands for a Hilbert space; as a consequence, we show that the set $\{ A \in { \cal L(H)}\;\;/\;\;\overline{ { \cal R }(\delta_{A})}\cap\{A\}'=\{0\} \}$ is norm-dense. We also describe some classes of operators $A,\;B$ for which we have $\overline{ { \cal R }(\delta_{A,B})}\cap\ker(\delta_{A^{\ast},B^{\ast}})=\{0\}$ ($\ker(\delta_{A^{\ast},B^{\ast}})$ is the kernel of the generalized derivation …

On The Rate Of $L_P$-Convergence Of Balakrishnan—Rubin-Type Hypersingular Integrals Associated To The Gauss-Weierstrass Semigroup, Meli̇h Eryi̇ği̇t, Seli̇m Çobanoğlu
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
We introduce a family of Balakrishnan—Rubin-type hypersingular integrals depending ona parameter $\varepsilon$ and generated by the Gauss—Weierstrass semigroup. Then the connection between the order of $L_p$—smoothness of a $L_p$—function $\varphi$and the rate of $L_p$-convergence of these families to $\varphi$, as $\varepsilon$ tends to 0, is obtained.
Generalized Drazin Invertibility Of The Product And Sum Of Two Elements In A Banach Algebra And Its Applications, Honglin Zou, Dijana Mosic, Jianlong Chen
Generalized Drazin Invertibility Of The Product And Sum Of Two Elements In A Banach Algebra And Its Applications, Honglin Zou, Dijana Mosic, Jianlong Chen
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
Let $a,b$ be two commutative generalized Drazin invertible elements in a Banach algebra; the expressions for the generalized Drazin inverse of the product $ab$ and the sum $a+b$ were studied in some current literature on this subject. In this paper, we generalize these results under the weaker conditions $a^{2}b=aba$ and $b^{2}a=bab$. As an application of our results, we obtain some new representations for the generalized Drazin inverse of a block matrix with the generalized Schur complement being generalized Drazin invertible in a Banach algebra, extending some recent works.

In this paper, sufficient criteria that guarantee the existence of stochastic asymptotic stability of the zero solution of the nonautonomous second-order stochastic delay differential equation \eqref{3e1} were established with the aid of a suitable Lyapunov functional. Two examples are given in the last section to illustrate our main result.
$\Mathcal{Vw}$-Gorenstein Complexes, Renyu Zhao, Wei Ren
$\Mathcal{Vw}$-Gorenstein Complexes, Renyu Zhao, Wei Ren
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
Let $\mathcal{V,W}$ be two classes of modules. In this paper, we introduce and study $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein complexes as a common generalization of $\mathcal{W}$-complexes, Gorenstein projective (resp., Gorenstein injective) complexes, and $G_C$-projective (resp., $G_C$-injective) complexes. It is shown that under certain hypotheses a complex $X$ is $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein if and only if each $X^n$ is a $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein module. This result unifies the corresponding results of the aforementioned complexes. As an application, the stability of $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein complexes is explored.

Dynamics Of A Predator-Prey System With A Mate-Finding Allee Effect On Prey, Ruiwen Wu, Xiuxaing Liu
Dynamics Of A Predator-Prey System With A Mate-Finding Allee Effect On Prey, Ruiwen Wu, Xiuxaing Liu
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
We consider a predator--prey system with nonmonotonic functional response and a hyperbolic type of mate-finding Allee effect on prey. A detailed mathematical analysis of the system, including the stability and a series of bifurcations (a saddle-node, a Hopf, and a Bogdanov--Takens bifurcation), has been given. The mathematical results show that the system is highly sensitive to the parameters and initial status. It exhibits a stable limit cycle, or different types of heteroclinic curves, or a homoclinic loop when parameters take suitable values.
Generalized Trial Equation Method And Its Applications Toduffing And Poisson-Boltzmann Equations, Ali̇ Özyapici
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 …
Stability Of Nonmonotone Critical Traveling Waves Forspatially Discrete Reaction-Diffusion Equations With Time Delay, Ge Tian, Guobao Zhang, Zhao-Xing Yang
Stability Of Nonmonotone Critical Traveling Waves Forspatially Discrete Reaction-Diffusion Equations With Time Delay, Ge Tian, Guobao Zhang, Zhao-Xing Yang
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
This paper is concerned with the existence and stability of critical traveling waves (waves with minimal speed $c=c_*$) for a nonmonotone spatially discrete reaction-diffusion equation with time delay. We first show the existence of critical traveling waves by a limiting argument. Then, using the technical weighted energy method with some new variations, we prove that the critical traveling waves $\phi(x+c_{*}t)$ (monotone or nonmonotone) are time-asymptotically stable when the initial perturbations are small in a certain weighted Sobolev norm.

Numerical Method For Solving Linear Stochasticito-Volterra Integral Equations Driven By Fractional Brownian Motion Using Hat Functions, Bentol Hoda Hashemi, Morteza Khodabin, Khosrow Maleknejad
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we present a numerical method to approximate the solution of linear stochastic Ito-Volterra integral equations driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $ H \in (0,1)$ based on a stochastic operational matrix of integration for generalized hat basis functions. We obtain a linear system of algebraic equations with a lower triangular coefficients matrix from the linear stochastic integral equation, and by solving it we get an approximation solution with accuracy of order $ \emph{O}(h^2)$. This numerical method shows that results are more accurate than the block pulse functions method where the rate of convergence is $ …
A Two-Obstacle Problem With Variable Exponent And Measure Data, Hongtao Li, Xiaojuan Chai
A Two-Obstacle Problem With Variable Exponent And Measure Data, Hongtao Li, Xiaojuan Chai
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
We consider a two-obstacle problem with measure data. For measures that do not charge sets of zero $p(\cdot)$-capacity, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solution. On the other hand, for the measure concentrated on a set with zero $p(\cdot)$-capacity, we prove a nonexistence result in the sense that when one looks for solutions via approximation, one cannot find a reasonable solution; see Theorem 2.3 and Remark 2.1 below.
Simultaneous Strong Proximinality In Banach Spaces, Sahil Gupta, Tulsi Dass Narang
Simultaneous Strong Proximinality In Banach Spaces, Sahil Gupta, Tulsi Dass Narang
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
Several researchers have discussed the problem of strong proximinality in Banach spaces. In this paper, we generalize the notion of strong proximinality and define simultaneous strong proximinality. It is proved that if $W$ is a simultaneously approximatively compact subset of a Banach space $X$ then $W$ is simultaneously strongly proximinal and the converse holds if the set of all best simultaneous approximations to every bounded subset $S$ of $X$ from $W$ is compact. We show that simultaneously strongly Chebyshev sets are precisely the sets that are simultaneously strongly proximinal and simultaneously Chebyshev. It is also proved that if $F$ and …

Asymptotic For A Second-Order Evolution Equation With Convex Potential Andvanishing Damping Term, Ramzi May
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this short note, we recover by a different method the new result due to Attouch, Chbani, Peyrouqet, and Redont concerning the weak convergence as $t\rightarrow+\infty$ of solutions $x(t)$ to the second-order differential equation $x^{\prime\prime}(t)+\frac{K}{t}x^{\prime}(t)+\nabla\Phi(x(t))=0,$ where $K>3$ and $\Phi$\ is a smooth convex function defined on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}.$ Moreover, we improve their result on the rate of convergence of $\Phi(x(t))-\min\Phi.$

$Cc$-Normal Topological Spaces, Lutfi Kalantan, Manal Alhomieyed
$Cc$-Normal Topological Spaces, Lutfi Kalantan, Manal Alhomieyed
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
A topological space $X$ is called \it $CC$-normal \rm if there exist a normal space $Y$ and a bijective function $f:X\longrightarrow Y$ such that the restriction $f_{ _A}:A\longrightarrow f(A)$ is a homeomorphism for each countably compact subspace $A\subseteq X$. We will investigate this property and produce some examples to illustrate the relation between $CC$-normality and other weaker kinds of normality.

When Zero-Divisor Graphs Are Divisor Graphs, Emad Abu Osba, Osama Alkam
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
Let $R$ be a finite commutative principal ideal ring with unity. In this article, we prove that the zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ is a divisor graph if and only if $R$ is a local ring or it is a product of two local rings with at least one of them having diameter less than $2$. We also prove that $\Gamma(R)$ is a divisor graph if and only if $\Gamma(R[x])$ is a divisor graph if and only if $\Gamma(R[[x]])$ is a divisor graph.
A Goal Programming Approach For Solving The Random Interval Linear Programming Problem, Ziba Arjmandzadeh, Mohammadreza Safi
A Goal Programming Approach For Solving The Random Interval Linear Programming Problem, Ziba Arjmandzadeh, Mohammadreza Safi
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
This paper presents a goal programming model for solving linear programming problems involving random interval coefficients. In this model, a random interval with known characters is considered as the aspiration level (target) of the objective function. The original problem involving random interval parameters is transformed into a biobjective equivalent problem using the proposed model. Defining an auxiliary variable, an approach for solving the biobjective problem is presented. Two numerical examples are carried out to show the efficiency of the proposed model.

Arithmetic Properties Of $\Ell$-Regular Overpartition Pairs, Megadahalli Siddanaika Mahadeva Naika, Chandrappa Shivashankar
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we investigate the arithmetic properties of $\ell$-regular overpartition pairs. Let $\overline{B}_{\ell}(n)$ denote the number of $\ell$-regular overpartition pairs of $n$. We will prove the number of Ramanujan-like congruences and infinite families of congruences modulo 3, 8, 16, 36, 48, 96 for $\overline{B}_3(n)$ and modulo 3, 16, 64, 96 for $\overline{B}_4(n)$. For example, we find that for all nonnegative integers $\alpha$ and $n$, $\overline{B}_{3}(3^{\alpha}(3n+2))\equiv 0\pmod{3}$, $\overline{B}_{3}(3^{\alpha}(6n+4))\equiv 0\pmod{3}$, and $\overline{B}_{4}(8n+7)\equiv 0\pmod{64}$.

Penalty-Free Method For Nonsmooth Constrained Optimization Via Radial Basis Functions, Fardin Rahmanpour, Mohammad Mehdi Hosseini, Farid Mohammad Maalek Ghaini
Penalty-Free Method For Nonsmooth Constrained Optimization Via Radial Basis Functions, Fardin Rahmanpour, Mohammad Mehdi Hosseini, Farid Mohammad Maalek Ghaini
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
We consider a general class of nonlinear constrained optimization problems, where derivatives of the objective function and constraints are unavailable. This property of problems can often impede the performance of optimization algorithms. Most algorithms usually determine a quasi-Newton direction and then use line search techniques. We propose a smoothing algorithm without the need to use a penalty function. A new algorithm is developed to modify the trust region and to handle the constraints based on radial basis functions (RBFs). The value of the objective function is reduced according to the relation of the predicted reduction of constraint violation achieved by …
