Quasilinear Systems With Unpredictable Relay Perturbations, Mehmet Onur Fen, Fatma Fen Jan 2022

Quasilinear Systems With Unpredictable Relay Perturbations, Mehmet Onur Fen, Fatma Fen

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

It is rigorously proven under certain assumptions that a quasilinear system with discontinuous right-hand side possesses a unique unpredictable solution. The discontinuous perturbation function on the right-hand side is defined by means of an unpredictable sequence. A Gronwall-Coppel type inequality is utilized to achieve the main result, and the stability of the unpredictable solution is discussed. Examples with exponentially asymptotically stable and unstable unpredictable solutions are provided.

Representation Variety Of Free Or Surface Groups And Reidemeister Torsion, Fati̇h Hezenci̇, Yaşar Sözen

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For $G \in \left\{ \mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C}) , \mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})\right\} ,$ we consider $G-$valued representations of free or surface group with genus $ >1.$ We establish a formula for computing Reidemeister torsion of such representations in terms of Atiyah-Bott-Goldman symplectic form for $G.$ Furthermore, we apply the obtained results to hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

On Slack $2$-Geodesic Convex Set And Geodesic $E$-Pseudoconvex Function With Application, Akhlad Iqbal, Praveen Kumar, Izhar Ahmad

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We introduce a new class of sets named, slack $2$-geodesic convex set on Riemannian manifolds and verify by a nontrivial example. We define a geodesic $E$-pseudoconvex function with a suitable example. Some properties of geodesic $E$-quasiconvex function are discussed. We establish some relationships between slack $2$-geodesic convex set, geodesic $E$-pseudoconvex function and geodesic $E$-quasiconvex function. Moreover, an application of geodesic $E$-quasiconvex function to a nonlinear programming problem is also presented.

Jordan Maps And Zero Lie Product Determined Algebras, Matej Bresar Jan 2022

Jordan Maps And Zero Lie Product Determined Algebras, Matej Bresar

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $A$ be an algebra over a field $F$ with $(F)\ne 2$. If $A$ is generated as an algebra by $[[A,A],[A,A]]$, then for every skew-symmetric bilinear map $\Phi:A\times A\to X$, where $X$ is an arbitrary vector space over $F$, the condition that $\Phi(x^2,x)=0 $ for all $x\in A$ implies that $\Phi(xy,z) +\Phi(zx,y) + \Phi(yz,x)=0$ for all $x,y,z\in A$. This is applicable to the question of whether $A$ is zero Lie product determined and is also used in proving that a Jordan homomorphism from $A$ onto a semiprime algebra $B$ is the sum of a homomorphism and an antihomomorphism.

Invariants Of Symplectic And Orthogonal Groups Acting On $Gl(N,Cc)$-Modules, Vesselin Drensky, Elitza Hristova

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $GL(n) = GL(n, CC)$ denote the complex general linear group and let $G \subset GL(n)$ be one of the classical complex subgroups $OO(n)$, $SO(n)$, and $Sp(2k)$ (in the case $n = 2k$). We take a finite dimensional polynomial $GL(n)$-module $W$ and consider the symmetric algebra $S(W)$. Extending previous results for $G=SL(n)$, we develop a method for determining the Hilbert series $H(S(W)^G, t)$ of the algebra of invariants $S(W)^G$. Our method is based on simple algebraic computations and can be easily realized using popular software packages. Then we give many explicit examples for computing $H(S(W)^G, t)$. As an application, we …

Symmetric Polynomials In The Free Metabelian Associative Algebra Of Rank 2, Şehmus Findik

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $F$ be the free metabelian associative algebra generated by $x$ and $y$ over a field of characteristic zero. We call a polynomial $f\in F$ symmetric, if $f(x,y)=f(y,x)$. The set of all symmetric polynomials coincides with the algebra $F^{S_2}$ of invariants of the symmetric group $S_2$. In this paper, we give the full description of the algebra $F^{S_2}$.


Nonlinear Evolution Equations Related To Kac-Moody Algebras $A_R^{(1)}$: Spectral Aspects, Vladimir S. Gerdjikov Jan 2022

Nonlinear Evolution Equations Related To Kac-Moody Algebras $A_R^{(1)}$: Spectral Aspects, Vladimir S. Gerdjikov

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We analyze three types of integrable nonlinear evolution equations (NLEE) related to the Kac-Moody algebras $A_r^{(1)}$. These are $\mathbb{Z}_h$-reduced derivative NLS equations (DNLS), multicomponent mKdV equations and 2-dimensional Toda field theories (2dTFT). We outline the basic tools of this analysis: i) the gradings of the simple Lie algebras using their Coxeter automorphisms; ii) the construction of the relevant Lax representations; and iii) the spectral properties of the Lax operators and their reduction to Riemann-Hilbert problems. We also formulate the minimal set of scattering data which allow one to recover the asymptotics of the fundamental analytic solutions to $L$ and its …


Polynomial Identities In Matrix Algebras With Pseudoinvolution, Antonio Ioppolo Jan 2022

Polynomial Identities In Matrix Algebras With Pseudoinvolution, Antonio Ioppolo

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In this paper we deal with matrix superalgebras (i.e. algebras graded by $\mathbb{Z}_2$, the cyclic group of order $2$) endowed with a pseudoinvolution. The first goal is to present the classification of the pseudoinvolutions that it is possible to define, up to equivalence, in the full matrix algebra $M_n(F)$ of $n \times n$ matrices and on its subalgebra $UT_n(F)$ of upper-triangular matrices. Along the way we shall give the generators of the $T$-ideal of identities for the algebras $M_2(F)$, $UT_2(F)$ and $UT_3(F)$, endowed with all possible inequivalent pseudoinvolutions.


On The Restricted Graded Jacobson Radical Of Rings Of Morita Context, Puguh Wahyu Prasetyo, Hidetoshi Marubayashi, Indah Emilia Wijayanti Jan 2022

On The Restricted Graded Jacobson Radical Of Rings Of Morita Context, Puguh Wahyu Prasetyo, Hidetoshi Marubayashi, Indah Emilia Wijayanti

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The class of rings $\mathcal{J}=\{A (A,\circ)$ forms a group$\}$ forms a radical class and it is called the Jacobson radical class. For any ring $A$, the Jacobson radical $\mathcal{J}(A)$ of $A$ is defined as the largest ideal of $A$ which belongs to $\mathcal{J}$. In fact, the Jacobson radical is one of the most important radical classes since it is used widely in another branch of abstract algebra, for example, to construct a two-sided brace. On the other hand, for every ring of Morita context $T=\begin{pmatrix} R & V \\ W & S \end{pmatrix}$, we will show directly by the structure …

On Generalized Fibonacci And Lucas Hybrid Polynomials, N. Rosa Ait-Amrane, Hacene Belbachir, Eli̇f Tan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce a new generalization of Fibonacci and Lucas hybrid polynomials. We investigate some basic properties of these polynomials such as recurrence relations, the generating functions, the Binet formulas, summation formulas, and a matrix representation. We derive generalized Cassini's identity and generalized Honsberger formula for generalized Fibonacci hybrid polynomials by using their matrix representation.


Solvability In The Small Of $M$-Th Order Elliptic Equations In Weighted Grand Sobolev Spaces, Bilal Bilalov, Yusuf Zeren, Sabina Sadigova, Şeyma Çeti̇n Jan 2022

Solvability In The Small Of $M$-Th Order Elliptic Equations In Weighted Grand Sobolev Spaces, Bilal Bilalov, Yusuf Zeren, Sabina Sadigova, Şeyma Çeti̇n

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this work we consider the Sobolev spaces generated by the norm of the power weighted grand Lebesgue spaces. It is considered $m$-th order elliptic equation with nonsmooth coefficients on bounded domain in $R^{n} $. This space is nonseparable and by using shift operator we define the separable subspace of it, in which infinitely differentiable functions are dense. The investigation needs to establish boundedness property of convolution regarding weighted grand Lebesgue spaces. Then on scheme of nonweighted case we establish solvability (strong sense) in the small of $m$-th order elliptic equations in power weighted grand Sobolev spaces. Note that in …

On The Geometry Of Lift Metrics And Lift Connections On The Tangent Bundle, Esmaeil Peyghan, Davood Seifipour, Adara Blaga

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We study lift metrics and lift connections on the tangent bundle $TM$ of a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. We also investigate the statistical and Codazzi couples of $TM$ and their consequences on the geometry of $M$. Finally, we prove a result on $1$-Stein and Osserman structures on $TM$, whenever $TM$ is equipped with the complete lift connection.

In this paper, we characterize the operators which are unitarily equivalent to truncated Hankel operators. We show that every rank one operator and every $2\times 2$ matrix is unitarily equivalent to a truncated Hankel operator. Furthermore, we get that certain sum of tenser products of truncated Hankel operators is unitarily equivalent to a truncated Hankel operator.

Equicontinuity And Sensitivity On Countable Amenable Semigroup, Nader Asadi Karam, Mohammad Kbari Tootkaboni, Abbas Sahleh

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we obtain the classification of topological dynamical systems with a discrete action. The equicontinuity and sensitivity for amenable discrete countable semigroup action are shown by the left Følner sequence. We consider the notion of uniquely ergodic and mean equicontinuous on amenable discrete countable semigroup action and develop the notion of density with respect to the Følner sequence on equicontinuous and sensitivity.

$(P,Q)$-Chebyshev Polynomials For The Families Of Biunivalent Function Associating A New Integral Operator With $(P,Q)$-Hurwitz Zeta Function, Sarem H. Hadi, Maslina Darus

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In the present article, making use of the $(p,q)$-Hurwitz zeta function, we provide and investigate a new integral operator. Also, we define two families ${\mathcal{S}\mathcal{M}}_{p,q}\left(\xi ,\zeta,\delta,u,\tau \right)$ and ${\mathcal{S}\mathcal{C}}_{p,q}\left(\lambda, \zeta,\vartheta,u,\tau \right)$ of biunivalent and holomorphic functions in the unit disc connected with $(p,q)$-Chebyshev Polynomials. Then we find coefficient estimates $\left a_2\right $ and $\left a_3\right .$ Finally, we obtain Fekete-Szeg$\ddot{\mathrm{o}}$ inequalities for these families.

Quasi $J$-Submodules, Ece Yetki̇n Çeli̇kel, Hani Khashan Jan 2022

Quasi $J$-Submodules, Ece Yetki̇n Çeli̇kel, Hani Khashan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary $R$-module. The aim of this paper is to extend the notion of quasi $J$-ideals of commutative rings to quasi $J$-submodules of modules. We call a proper submodule $N$ of $M$ a quasi $J$-submodule if whenever $r\in R$ and $m\in M$ such that $rm\in N$ and $r\notin(J(R)M:M)$, then $m\in M$-$rad(N)$. We present various properties and characterizations of this concept (especially in finitely generated faithful multiplication modules). Furthermore, we provide new classes of modules generalizing presimplifiable modules and justify their relation with (quasi) $J$-submodules. Finally, for a submodule $N$ …


Initial Value Problem For Elastic System In Transversely Isotropic Inhomogeneous Media, Meltem Altunkaynak Jan 2022

Initial Value Problem For Elastic System In Transversely Isotropic Inhomogeneous Media, Meltem Altunkaynak

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider an initial value problem (IVP) for three dimensional elasticity system in a transversely isotropic inhomogeneous media. We will rewrite the problem in the form of Fourier images by means of Fourier transform method. After some arrangements, the problem is reduced to integral equations in the vector form. Using the properties of the vector integral equation and successive approximations method, an explicit formula for the solution of the IVP in transversely isotropic inhomogeneous media is constructed, and existence and uniqueness of the solution is stated. By a computational example, we illustrate the robustness of the method.

A Review On The Achievement Of Enzymatic Glycerol Carbonate Production, Selda Aydoğdu, Nurcan Kapucu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

High energy demand driven by decreasing fossil fuels, and global warming because of the burning of fossil fuels necessitates the utilization of renewable and clean energy. One of these renewable energy sources is biodiesel. The increasing trend of biodiesel over the last 20 years tends to result in increasing glycerol (Gly), which is produced during the biodiesel production in 10% ratio (w/w) as a by-product. Using Gly as raw material is an alternative way to produce bio-based new products such as glycerol carbonate (GlyC). GlyC is a value-added product of Gly/vegetable oil and this product can be used as a …
