We introduce the notion of indivisible sequences and show that to any indivisible sequence $\{S, \Psi: S \to R\}$ we can associate faithfully flat ring maps $R \to R'$ that are not descendable. As a corollary, we obtain the first example of…

Consider the self-map F of the space of real-valued test functions on the line which takes a test function f to the test function sending a real number x to f(f(x))-f(0). We show that F is discontinuous, although its restriction to the…

For a positive integer $n$ let $\mathcal{X}_n$ be either the algebra $M_n$ of $n \times n$ complex matrices, the set $N_n$ of all $n \times n$ normal matrices, or any of the matrix Lie groups $\mathrm{GL}(n)$, $\mathrm{SL}(n)$ and…

For a locally Lipschitz continuous function $f:X\to\mathbb{R}$ the generalized gradient $\partial f(x)$ of Clarke is used to develop some (set-valued) gradient on a set $A\subset X$. Existence, uniqueness and some approximation are…

In this paper we extend some set theoretic concepts of numerical semigroups for arbitrary sub-semigroups of natural numbers. Then we characterized gapsets which leads to a more efficient computational approach towards numerical semigroups…

We prove that the Lalescu sequence is monotonically decreasing.

Let X be a compact (resp. compact and nonsingular) real algebraic variety and let Y be a homogeneous space for some linear real algebraic group. We prove that a continuous (resp. C^infinity) map f:X-->Y can be approximated by regular maps…

We define and study the categorical sequence of a space, which is a new formalism that streamlines the computation of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a space X by induction on its CW skeleta. The k-th term in the categorical sequence…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate the concepts of down continuity and down compactness. A real valued function $f$ on a subset $E$ of $\R$, the set of real numbers is down continuous if it preserves downward half Cauchy sequences,…

In this paper we prove that if $f$ is a self-mapping of a nonempty subset $K$ of a normed space $X$ that satisfies some mild conditions, then the minimal displacement of large iterations $f^n$ always dominates that of $f$ along certain…

We prove that for every integer sequence $I$ satisfying Dold relations there exists a map $f : \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, such that $\mathrm{Per(f)} = \mathrm{Fix(f)} = \{o\}$, where $o$ denotes the origin, and $(i(f^n,…

We show that for a given initial point the typical, in the sense of Baire category, nonexpansive compact valued mapping $F$ has the following properties: there is a unique sequence of successive approximations and this sequence converges to…

Let $f$ be a postcritically finite rational map. We prove that, as $n$ large enough, there exists an $f^n$-invariant (finite connected) graph on $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$ such that it contains the postcritical set of $f$.

We give a condition on weighted mean matrices so that their $l^p$ norms are determined on decreasing sequences when the condition is satisfied. We apply our result to give a proof of a conjecture of Bennett and discuss some related results.

The Lambek calculus provides a foundation for categorial grammar in the form of a logic of concatenation. But natural language is characterized by dependencies which may also be discontinuous. In this paper we introduce the displacement…

We consider the intersection map on the family of non-empty $\omega$-Scott-open sets of the lattice of opens of a topological space. We prove that in a certain class of topological spaces the intersection map forms a continuous retraction…

Given a ring $R$ with center $Z(R)$, we say a linear map $f:R\rightarrow R$ is commuting if $[f(x),x]=0$ for all $x\in R$. Such a map has a standard form if there exists $\lambda\in R$ and additive $\mu:R\rightarrow Z(R)$ such that…

A continous map $f: \mathbb{C}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{C}^N$ is $k$-regular if the image of any $k$ points spans a $k$-dimensional subspace. It is an important problem in topology and interpolation theory, going back to Borsuk and Chebyshev,…

We show that many existing divisibility sequences can be seen as sequences of determinants of matrix divisibility sequences, which arise naturally as Jacobian matrices associated to groups of maps on affine spaces.

If $f:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$, with $a<b$, is continuous and such that $a$ and $b$ are mapped in opposite directions by $f$, then $f$ has a fixed point in $I$. Suppose that $f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ is map and $X$ is a continuum. We extend…
