In this note we answer a question concerning lineability of the set of non-absolutely summing operators.
One of the distinct features of this century has been the population of older adults which has been on a constant rise. Elderly people have several needs and requirements due to physical disabilities, cognitive issues, weakened memory and…
The article presents the main milestones of the science and technology biography of Ivan Edward Sutherland. The influence of the family and the school on the development of its research competencies is shown, and little-known biographical…
The paper presents a counterexample to the Hodge conjecture.
As the percentage of elderly people in developed countries increases worldwide, the healthcare of this collective is a worrying matter, especially if it includes the preservation of their autonomy. In this direction, many studies are being…
