Let Sa (h) denote the class of analytic functions f on the unit disc E with f (0) =0 = f′ (0) −1 satisfying , where (a real), denotes the Hadamard product of Ka with f, and h is a convex univalent function on E, with Re h > 0. Let . It is proved that F ε Sa (h) whenever f ε Sa (h) and also that for a ≥ 1. Three more such classes are introduced and studied here. The method of differential subordination due to Eenigenburg et al. is used.

A convex body K in En containing no lattice points, has one-deimensional projections of lengths X1, X2, …, Xn on the coordinate axes. We show that for n ≥ 2 and 1 ≤ Xi ≤ n/(n−1) (1 ≤ i ≤ n),

and this bound can not be improved.

A theorem of T. Ando, R. Nagel and H. Uhlig on the positivity of generators of some positive semigroups in Banach lattices can not be generalized to general ordered Banach spaces.

Blackett and Wolfson studied the near-ring Aff (V) consisting of all affine transformations of a vector space V. This notion is generalized here, and the rear-ring Aff (G) consisting of affine-like maps of a nilpotent group G is introduced. The ideal structure, and the multiplication rule for Aff (G) are determined. Finally a near-ring S is introduced which generalized both Aff (G), and Gonshor's abstract affine near-rings. The ideals of S are determined.

k-Quasi-hyponormal operators are defined and some inclusion relations between these operators and k-paranormal operators are shown.

A.P.J. van der Walt introduced the concept of a weakly prime left ideal of an associative ring with unity. It is the purpose of the present paper to extend to general, that is not necessarily with unity associative rings, this concept as well as almost all results of van der Walt for rings with unity.

The salient feature of the essential completion process is that for most common distributive lattices it will yield a completely distributive lattice. In this note it is shown that for those distributive lattices which have at least one completely distributive essential extension the essential completion is minimal among the completions by infinitely distributive lattices. Thus in its setting the essential completion of a distributive lattice behaves in much the some way as the one-point compactification of locally compact topological space does in its setting.

A new cardinal inequality, |K (X)| ≤ 2L∗(X) · psw (X), is proved in this paper. It strengthens the result of D.K. burke and R. Hodel the |K (X)| ≤ 2e (X) · psw (X).

A conjecture of Littlewood States that for arbitrary , and any ε > 0 there exist m0 ≠ 0, m1,…,mn so that . In this paper we show this conjecture holds for all = (ξ1,…,ξn) such that 1, ξ1,…,ξn is a rational bass of a real algebraic number field of degree n+1.

In this paper, we show that the fixed point set of Zp-actions, p an odd prime, on a finitistic space X of type (a, b) is non-empty, whenever b ≡ 0 (mod p). We also prove a similar result for circle group actions of finitistic spaces of (a, 0) type.

It is known that a finite non-abelian group G has a proper centralizer of order if, for example, |G| is even and |Z(G)| is odd, or whenever G is solvable. Often the exponent can be improved to , for example when G is supersolvable, or metabelian, or |G = pαqβ. Here we show more generally that this improvement is possible in many situations where G is factorizable into the product of two subgroups. In particular, much more evidence is presented to support the conjecture that some proper centralizer has order whenever G is a finite non-abelian solvable group.

It is well-known that any derivation on a commutative von Neumann algebra is implemented by a bounded operator. In this note we present a simple alternative proof, which generalizes the result further within Hilbert space, and to reflexive Banach spaces.

This paper establishes the radius of convexity, distortion and covering theorems for the class

where

−1 ≤ B < A ≤ 1, w(0) = 0, |w (z)| < 1 in the unit disc. Coefficient bounds for functions in are also derived.

Integral formulations for the three classical single phase Stefan problems involving the infinite slab and inward solidifying cylinders and spheres are utilized to generate standard analytical approximations. These approximations include the pseudo steady state estimate, large Stefan number expansions, upper and lower bounds, approximations based on integral iteration and related results such as formal series solutions. In order to demonstrate the applicability and limitations of the integral formulations three generalizations of the classical stefan problem are considered briefly. These problems are diffusion with two simultaneous chemical reactions, a Stefan problem with two moving boundaries and the genuine two phase Stefan problem.
