 Remarks on partial $b$-metric spaces and fixed point theorems 231$-$240 N. V. Dung, V. T. L. Hang

Abstract

In this paper, we prove some properties of a partial b-metric space in the sense of Shukla. As applications, we show that fixed point theorems on partial $b$-metric spaces can be implied from certain fixed point theorems on $b$-metric spaces. We also give examples to illustrate the results.

Keywords: Fixed point; $b$-metric; partial metric; partial $b$-metric.

 Quasi-regularity of harmonic maps based on Blaschke products 241$-$247 R. Elmarghani

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to find conditions which guarantee quasiregularity of a harmonic map of the unit disk $D$ of the form $f(z)={Re}B_1(z)+i{Im}B_2(z)$, where $B_1, B_2$ are automorphisms of $D$.

Keywords: Quasiconformal maps; harmonic maps; quasiregular maps.

 The metric dimension of comb product graph 248$-$258 S.W. Saputro, N. Mardiana, I.A. Purwasih

Abstract

A set of vertices $W$ \textit{resolves} a graph $G$ if every vertex is uniquely determined by its coordinate of distance to the vertices in $W$. The minimum cardinality of a resolving set of $G$ is called the \textit{metric dimension} of $G$. In this paper, we consider a graph which is obtained by the comb product between two connected graphs. Let $o$ be a vertex of $H$. The \textit{comb product} between $G$ and $H$, denoted by $G\rhd_o H$, is a graph obtained by taking one copy of $G$ and $|V(G)|$ copies of $H$ and identifying the $i$-th copy of $H$ at the vertex $o$ to the $i$-th vertex of $G$. We give an exact value of the metric dimension of $G\rhd_o H$ where $H$ is not a path or $H$ is a path where the vertex $o$ is not a leaf. We also give the sharp general bounds of $\beta(G\rhd_o P_n)$ for $n\geq 2$ where the vertex $o$ is a leaf of $P_n$.

Keywords: Basis; comb product; metric dimension; resolving set.

 Existence of three weak solutions for a quasilinear Dirichlet problem 271$-$280 S. Shokooh, G.A. Afrouzi

Abstract

The aim of this note is to establish the existence of three solutions for a two-point boundary value problem. The approach is based on variational methods. Some particular cases and two concrete examples are then presented.

 Symmetric tilings in the square lattice 281$-$295 M. Muzika Dizdarević

Abstract

We apply the method of Gröbner bases to polyomino tilings, following and developing the ideas of Bodini and Nouvel. The emphasis is, in the spirit of the paper M. Muzika Dizdarević, R.~T. Živaljević, \emph{Symmetric polyomino tilings, tribones, ideals and Gröbner bases}, Publ. Inst. Math. \textbf{98} (112) (2015), 1--23., on tiling problems with added symmetry conditions. The main problem studied in the paper covers case of tiling by three-in-line polyominoes, centrally symmetric with respect to the origin.

Keywords: Symmetric Z-tiling; ring of invariants; Gröbner bases.
