 On certain linear operator defined by basic hypergeometric functions 1$-$7 Rabha W. Ibrahim

Abstract

By employing the basic hypergeometric series, we introduce here a linear operator for analytic functions. By means of this linear operator, we define and investigate a class of analytic functions. Also, as an application of Jack's lemma, sufficient conditions for univalence, starlikeness and strong starlikeness of certain analytic functions are obtained.

Keywords: Basic hypergeometric function; subordination; starlike; close to convex; univalent function; S\v{a}l\v{a}gean differential operator; Jack's lemma.

 A new characterization of spaces with locally countable $sn$-networks 8$-$13 Luong Quoc Tuyen

Abstract

In this paper we prove that a space $X$ is with a locally countable $sn$-network (resp., weak base) if and only if it is a compact-covering (resp., compact-covering quotient) compact and $ss$-image of a metric space, if and only if it is a sequentially-quotient (resp., quotient) $\pi$- and $ss$-image of a metric space, which gives a new characterization of spaces with locally countable $sn$-networks (or weak bases).

Keywords: Weak base; $sn$-network; $\sigma$-strong network; locally countable; compact-covering; compact map; $\pi$-map.

 Certain subclasses of uniformly starlike and convex functions defined by convolution with negative coefficients 14$-$28 M.K. Aouf, A.A. Shamandy, A.O. Mostafa and A.K. Wagdy

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to obtain coefficient estimates, distortion theorems, convex linear combinations and radii of close-to-convexity, starlikeness and convexity for functions belonging to the class $TS(g,\lambda;\alpha,\beta)$. Furthermore partial sums $f_{n}(z)$ of functions $f(z)$ in the class $TS(g,\lambda;\alpha,\beta)$ are considered and sharp lower bounds for the ratios of real part of $f(z)$ to $f_{n}(z)$ and $f'(z)$ to $f_{n}'(z)$ are determined.

Keywords: Analytic function; Hadamard product; distortion theorems; partial sums.

 Common fixed points for generalized nonlinear contractive mappings in metric spaces 29$-$34 Sumit Chandok

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a common fixed point theorem for generalized nonlinear contractive mappings in complete metric spaces by generalizing and extending some known results. As a consequence, a common fixed point theorem for a Banach operator pair is obtained.

Keywords: Common fixed point; $f$-weakly contractive maps; generalized $f$-weakly contractive maps; weakly compatible maps; Banach operator pair.

 Functions from $L_p$-spaces and Taylor means 35$-$45 Prem Chandra, S. S. Thakur and Ratna Singh

Abstract

In this paper, we take up Taylor means to study the degree of approximation of $fın L_p$ ($p\ge1$) under the $L_p$-norm and obtain a general theorem which is used to obtain four more theorems that improve some earlier results obtained by Mohapatra, Holland and Sahney [J. Approx. Theory 45 (1985), 363--374]. One of our theorems provides the Jackson order as the degree of approximation for a subspace of $Lip(\a,p)$ ($0<\a<1$, $p\ge1$) and generalizes a result due to Chui and Holland [J. Approx. Theory 39 (1983), 24--38].

Keywords: Taylor means; degree of approximation.

 Strong convergence of implicit iterates with errors for non-Lipschitzian asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive type mappings in Banach spaces 46$-$57 G. S. Saluja

Abstract

In this paper we prove that an implicit iterative process with errors converges strongly to a common fixed point for a finite family of asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive type mappings on unbounded sets in a uniformly convex Banach space. Our results unify, improve and generalize the corresponding results of Ud-din and Khan, Sun, Wittman, Xu and Ori and many others.

Keywords: Asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive type mapping; implicit iteration process with errors; common fixed point; strong convergence; uniformly convex Banach space.

 On the space of $p$-summable sequences 58$-$63 M. Idris, S. Ekariani and H. Gunawan

Abstract

On the space $\ell^p$ of $p$-summable sequences (of real numbers), one can derive a norm from the 2-norm as indicated by Gunawan [H. Gunawan, {The space of $p$-summable sequences and its natural $n$-norms}, Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. {64} (2001), 137--147]. The purpose of this note is to establish the equivalence between such a norm and the usual norm on $\ell^p$. We show that our result is useful in understanding the topology of $\ell^p$ as a 2-normed space.

Keywords: $p$-summable sequence space; norm equivalence.

 Fuzzy ideals in Laskerian rings 74$-$81 Tariq Shah and Muhammad Saeed

Abstract

We introduce strongly primary fuzzy ideals and strongly irreducible fuzzy ideals in a unitary commutative ring and fixed their role in a Laskerian ring. We established that: A finite intersection of prime fuzzy ideals (resp. primary fuzzy ideals, irreducible fuzzy ideals and strongly irreducible fuzzy ideals) is a prime fuzzy ideal (resp. primary fuzzy ideal, irreducible fuzzy ideal and strongly irreducible fuzzy ideal). We also find that, a fuzzy ideal of a ring is prime if and only if it is semiprime and strongly irreducible. Furthermore we characterize that: (1) Every nonzero fuzzy ideal of a one dimensional Laskerian domain can be uniquely expressed as a product of primary fuzzy ideals with distinct radicals, (2) A unitary commutative ring is (strongly) Laskerian if and only if its localization is (strongly) Laskerian with respect to every fuzzy ideal.

Keywords: Fuzzy ideal; prime fuzzy ideal; primary fuzzy ideal; (strongly) irreducible fuzzy ideal; (strongly) Laskerian ring.

 Generalized distance and fixed point theorems in partially ordered probabilistic metric spaces 82$-$93 Reza Saadati

Abstract

Recently, Ćirić, Mihe\c{t} and Saadati [Topoplogy Appl. 156 (2009), 2838-2844] proved a common fixed point theorem in partially ordered probabilistic metric spaces. In this paper, we consider the generalized distance in probabilistic metric spaces introduced by Saadati, et. al., [Bull. Iranian Math. Soc. 35:2 (2009), 97--117] and prove some fixed point theorems in partially ordered probabilistic metric spaces.

Keywords: Non-decreasing mapping; coincidence; fixed point; common fixed point; complete metric space; generalized distance.

 Property (gz) for bounded linear operators 94$-$103 H. Zariouh

Abstract

A bounded linear operator $T$ acting on a Banach space possesses property (gaw) if $\sigma(T)\setminus E_a(T)=\sigma_{BW}(T)$, where $\sigma_{BW}(T)$ is the B-Weyl spectrum of $T$, $\sigma(T)$ is the usual spectrum of $T$ and $E_a(T)$ is the set of all eigenvalues of $T$ which are isolated in the approximate point spectrum of $T$. In this paper we introduce and study the new spectral properties (z), (gz), (az) and (gaz) as a continuation of [M. Berkani, H. Zariouh, {ıt New extended Weyl type theorems}, Mat. Vesnik {\bf 62} (2010), 145--154], which are related to Weyl type theorems. Among other results, we prove that $T$ possesses property (gz) if and only if $T$ possesses property (gaw) and $\sigma_{BW}(T)=\sigma_{SBF_+^-}(T)$; where $\sigma_{SBF_+^-}(T)$ is the essential semi-B-Fredholm spectrum of $T$.

Keywords: Property (z); property (gz); property (az); essential semi-B-Fredholm spectrum.

 Growth of polynomials with prescribed zeros 137$-$142 M. S. Pukhta

Abstract

In this paper, we study the growth of polynomials of degree $n$ having all their zeros on $|z|=k$, $k\leq 1$. Using the notation $M(p,t)=\max_{|z|=t}|p(z)|$, we measure the growth of $p$ by estimating $\big\{\frac{M(p,t)}{M(p,1)}\big\}^s$ from above for any $t\geq 1$, $s$ being an arbitrary positive integer. Also in this paper we improve the results recently proved by K. K. Dewan and Arty Ahuja [Growth of polynomials with prescribed zeros, J. Math. Ineq. 5 (2011), 355--361].

Keywords: Polar derivative; polynomial; Zygmund inequality; zeros.
