Our purpose is to present a number of new facts about the structure of semipositive matrices, involving patterns, spectra and Jordon form, sums and products, and matrix equivalence, etc. Techniques used to obtain the results may be of independent interest. Examples include: any matrix with at least two columns is a sum, and any matrix with at least two rows, a product, of semipositive matrices. Any spectrum of a real matrix with at least 2 elements is the spectrum of a square semipositive matrix, and any real matrix, except for a negative scalar matrix, is similar to a semipositive matrix. M-matrices are generalized to the non-square case and sign patterns that require semipositivity are characterized., Jonathan Dorsey, Tom Gannon, Charles R.

Generalizing earlier results about the set of idempotents in a Banach algebra, or of self-adjoint idempotents in a C*-algebra, we announce constructions of nice connecting paths in the connected components of the set of elements in a Banach algebra, or of self-adjoint elements in a C*-algebra, that satisfy a given polynomial equation, without multiple roots. In particular, we prove that in the Banach algebra case every such non-central element lies on a complex line, all of whose points satisfy the given equation. We also formulate open questions., Endre Makai Jr., Jaroslav Zemánek., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Let X be a Banach space of analytic functions on the open unit disk and Γ a subset of linear isometries on X. Sufficient conditions are given for non-supercyclicity of Γ. In particular, we show that the semigroup of linear isometries on the spaces S^{p} (p>1), the little Bloch space, and the group of surjective linear isometries on the big Bloch space are not supercyclic. Also, we observe that the groups of all surjective linear isometries on the Hardy space H^{p} or the Bergman space L_{a}^{p} (1< p< ∞,p\neq 2) are not supercyclic., Abbas Moradi, Karim Hedayatian, Bahram Khani Robati, Mohammad Ansari., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
A maximum matching of a graph G is a matching of G with the largest number of edges. The matching number of a graph G, denoted by {\alpha }'(G), is the number of edges in a maximum matching of G. In 1966, Gallai conjectured that all the longest paths of a connected graph have a common vertex. Although this conjecture has been disproved, finding some nice classes of graphs that support this conjecture is still very meaningful and interesting. In this short note, we prove that Gallai’s conjecture is true for every connected graph G with {\alpha }'(G)\leq 3., Fuyuan Chen., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Let Q = (qn)n=1∞ be a sequence of bases with qi ≥ 2. In the case when the qi are slowly growing and satisfy some additional weak conditions, we provide a construction of a number whose Q-Cantor series expansion is both Q-normal and Q-distribution normal. Moreover, this construction will result in a computable number provided we have some additional conditions on the computability of Q, and from this construction we can provide computable constructions of numbers with atypical normality properties., Dylan Airey, Bill Mance, Joseph Vandehey., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
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
