A graph G is a k-tree if either G is the complete graph on k + 1 vertices, or G has a vertex v whose neighborhood is a clique of order k and the graph obtained by removing v from G is also a k-tree. Clearly, a k-tree has at least k + 1 vertices, and G is a 1-tree (usual tree) if and only if it is a 1-connected graph and has no K_{3} -minor. In this paper, motivated by some properties of 2-trees, we obtain a characterization of k-trees as follows: if G is a graph with at least k + 1 vertices, then G is a k-tree if and only if G has no K_{k+2} -minor, G does not contain any chordless cycle of length at least 4 and G is k-connected., De-Yan Zeng, Jian-Hua Yin., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
A theorem of Burnside asserts that a finite group G is p-nilpotent if for some prime p a Sylow p-subgroup of G lies in the center of its normalizer. In this paper, let G be a finite group and p the smallest prime divisor of |G|, the order of G. Let P \in Syl_{p} (G). As a generalization of Burnside’s theorem, it is shown that if every non-cyclic p-subgroup of G is self-normalizing or normal in G then G is solvable. In particular, if P \not\cong \left\langle {a,b;{a^{{p^{n - 1}}}} = 1,{b^2} = 1,{b^{ - 1}}ab = {a^{1 + {p^{n - 2}}}}} \right\rangle, where n\geq 3 for p > 2 and n\geq 4 for p = 2, then G is p-nilpotent or p-closed., Jiangtao Shi., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
We deal with the construction of sequences of irreducible polynomials with coefficients in finite fields of even characteristic. We rely upon a transformation used by Kyuregyan in 2002, which generalizes the Q-transform employed previously by Varshamov and Garakov (1969) as well as by Meyn (1990) for the synthesis of irreducible polynomials. While in the iterative procedure described by Kyuregyan the coefficients of the initial polynomial of the sequence have to satisfy certain hypotheses, in the present paper these conditions are removed. We construct infinite sequences of irreducible polynomials of nondecreasing degree starting from any irreducible polynomial., Simone Ugolini., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
A general theorem (principle of a priori boundedness) on solvability of the boundary value problem ${\rm d} x={\rm d} A(t)\cdot f(t,x),\quad h(x)=0$ is established, where $f\colon[a,b]\times\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^n$ is a vector-function belonging to the Carathéodory class corresponding to the matrix-function $A\colon[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ with bounded total variation components, and $h\colon\operatorname{BV}_s([a,b],\mathbb{R}^n)\to\mathbb{R}^n$ is a continuous operator. Basing on the mentioned principle of a priori boundedness, effective criteria are obtained for the solvability of the system under the condition $x(t_1(x))=\mathcal{B}(x)\cdot x(t_2(x))+c_0,$ where $t_i\colon\operatorname{BV}_s([a,b],\mathbb{R}^n)\to[a,b]$ $(i=1,2)$ and $\mathcal{B}\colon\operatorname{BV}_s([a,b],\mathbb{R}^n)\to\mathbb{R}^n$ are continuous operators, and $c_0\in\mathbb{R}^n$., Malkhaz Ashordia., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
We consider the annihilator of certain local cohomology modules. Moreover, some results on vanishing of these modules will be considered., Ahmad Khojali., and Obsahuje bibliografii
We give a simple proof that critical values of any Artin L-function attached to a representation ̺ with character χ̺ are stable under twisting by a totally even character χ, up to the dim̺-th power of the Gauss sum related to χ and an element in the field generated by the values of χ̺ and χ over Q. This extends a result of Coates and Lichtenbaum as well as the previous work of Ward., Peng-Jie Wong., and Seznam literatury
Let $G$ be a finite group. A normal subgroup $N$ of $G$ is a union of several $G$-conjugacy classes, and it is called $n$-decomposable in $G$ if it is a union of $n$ distinct $G$-conjugacy classes. In this paper, we first classify finite non-perfect groups satisfying the condition that the numbers of conjugacy classes contained in its non-trivial normal subgroups are two consecutive positive integers, and we later prove that there is no non-perfect group such that the numbers of conjugacy classes contained in its non-trivial normal subgroups are 2, 3, 4 and 5., Ruifang Chen, Xianhe Zhao., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
We prove two Dyakonov type theorems which relate the modulus of continuity of a function on the unit disc with the modulus of continuity of its absolute value. The methods we use are quite elementary, they cover the case of functions which are quasiregular and harmonic, briefly hqr, in the unit disc., Miloš Arsenović, Miroslav Pavlović., and Seznam literatury
We propose a new method for studying stability of second order delay differential equations. Results we obtained are of the form: the exponential stability of ordinary differential equation implies the exponential stability of the corresponding delay differential equation if the delays are small enough. We estimate this smallness through the coefficients of this delay equation. Examples demonstrate that our tests of the exponential stability are essentially better than the known ones. This method works not only for autonomous equations but also for equations with variable coefficients and delays., Ravi P.

An S-closed submodule of a module M is a submodule N for which M/N is nonsingular. A module M is called a generalized CS-module (or briefly, GCS-module) if any S-closed submodule N of M is a direct summand of M. Any homomorphic image of a GCS-module is also a GCS-module. Any direct sum of a singular (uniform) module and a semi-simple module is a GCS-module. All nonsingular right R-modules are projective if and only if all right R-modules are GCS-modules., Qingyi Zeng., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
