In this paper, new and significant advances on the understanding the structure of p.p. rings and their generalizations have been made. Especially among them, it is proved that a commutative ring $R$ is a generalized p.p. ring if and only if…
We give a first-order definition of key polynomials, we show the links with previous definitions, that it is relevant to study key degrees, and to use a kind of valuations that we call partially multiplicative. We also prove or reprove…
In this short note, we establish some identities containing sums of binomials with coefficients satisfying third order linear recursive relations. As a result and in particular, we obtain general forms of earlier identities involving…
The goal of this paper is to present an algebraic approach to the basic results of the theory of linear recurrence relations. This approach is based on the ideas from the theory of representations of one endomorphisms (a special case of…
Isometric covariant representations play an important role in the study of Cuntz-Pimsner algebras. In this article, we study partial isometric covariant representations and explore under what conditions powers and roots of partial isometric…
Scientific discussions of the arrow of time often get quite confusing due to highly complex systems they deal with. Popular literature then often coveys messages that tend to get lost in translation. The purpose of this note is to demystify…
Extending earlier results of the authors on minimal polynomials of $p$-elements of finite groups of Lie type in cross-characteristic representations, this paper focuses on the case where Sylow $p$-subgroups are cyclic and $p$ is distinct…
We show that a problem on minimal periods of solutions of Lipschitz functional differential equations is closely related to the unique solvability of the periodic problem for linear functional differential equations. Sharp bounds for…
In this paper, we introduce and study two new classes of commutative rings, namely semi transitional rings and transitional rings, which extend several classical ideas arising from rings of continuous functions and their variants. A general…
For a prime $p$ and an integer $x$, the $p$-adic valuation of $x$ is denoted by $\nu_{p}(x)$. For a polynomial $Q$ with integer coefficients, the sequence of valuations $\nu_{p}(Q(n))$ is shown to be either periodic or unbounded. The first…
We consider Markov chains on partially ordered sets that generalize the success-runs and remaining life chains in reliability theory. We find conditions for recurrence and transience and give simple expressions for the invariant…
In this study, explicit differential equations representing commutative pairs of some well-known second-order linear time-varying systems have been derived. The commutativity of these systems are investigated by considering 30 second-order…
We define a fragment of monadic infinitary second-order logic corresponding to an abstract separation property. We use this to define the concept of a separation subclass. We use model theoretic techniques and games to show that separation…
By using combinatorics, we give a new proof for the recurrence relations of the characteristic polynomial coefficients, and then we obtain an explicit expression for the generic term of the coefficient sequence, which yields the trace…
In this paper, we introduce a class of $(P, \omega)$-partitions that we call periodic $(P, \omega)$-partitions, then prove that such $(P, \omega)$-partitions satisfy a homogeneous first-order matrix difference equation. After defining an…
We show that several orbital equations and orbital clusters of the quadratic (logistic) map coincide surprisingly with cyclotomic {\it period equations}, polynomials whose roots are Gaussian periods. An analytical expression for the field…
A consecutive pattern in a permutation $\pi$ is another permutation $\sigma$ determined by the relative order of a subsequence of contiguous entries of $\pi$. Traditional notions such as descents, runs and peaks can be viewed as particular…
Positively graded algebras are fairly natural objects which are arduous to be studied. In this article we query quotients of non-standard graded polynomial rings with combinatorial and commutative algebra methods.
Induction is typically formalized as a rule or axiom extension of the LK-calculus. While this extension of the sequent calculus is simple and elegant, proof transformation and analysis can be quite difficult. Theories with an induction…
Planar curves with periodically varying curvature arise in the natural sciences as the result of a wide variety of periodic processes. The total curvature of a periodic arc in such curves constrains their symmetry. It is shown how the total…
