Let $E={\bigcup }_{n=1}^{\infty }{I}_n$ be the union of infinitely many disjoint closed intervals where $I_n=[a_n$, $b_n]$, $0<a_1<b_1<a_2<b_2<\cdots <b_n<\cdots$, ${lim}_{n\to \infty }{b}_n=\infty .$ Let $\alpha \left(t\right)$ be a nonnegative function and ${\left\{{\lambda }_n\right\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ a sequence of distinct complex numbers. In this paper, a theorem on the completeness of the system $\left\{t^{{\lambda }_n}{log}^{m_n}t\right\}$ in $C_0\left(E\right)$ is obtained where $C_0\left(E\right)$ is the weighted Banach space consists of complex functions continuous on $E$ with $f\left(t\right){\mathrm{e}}^{-\alpha \left(t\right)}$ vanishing at infinity.

In this paper we prove two results. The first is an extension of the result of G. D. Jones [4]: (A) Every nontrivial solution for $$\left\}\begin{array}{c}{(-1)}^n{u}^{\left(2n\right)}+f(t,u)=0,\text{in}(\alpha ,\infty ),u^{\left(i\right)}\left(\xi \right)=0,i=0,1,\cdots ,n-1,\text{and}\xi \in (\alpha ,\infty ),\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ must be unbounded, provided $f(t,z)z\ge 0$, in $E\times ℝ$ and for every bounded subset $I$, $f(t,z)$ is bounded in $E\times I$. (B) Every bounded solution for ${(-1)}^n{u}^{\left(2n\right)}+f(t,u)=0$, in $ℝ$, must be constant, provided $f(t,z)z\ge 0$ in $ℝ\times ℝ$ and for every bounded subset $I$, $f(t,z)$ is bounded in $ℝ\times I$.

A function $f:ℝ\to ℝ$ is said to have the $n$-th Laplace derivative on the right at $x$ if $f$ is continuous in a right neighborhood of $x$ and there exist real numbers ${\alpha }_0,...,{\alpha }_{n-1}$ such that $s^{n+1}{\int }_0^{\delta }{e}^{-st}[f(x+t)-{\sum }_{i=0}^{n-1}{\alpha }_i{t}^i/i!]dt$ converges as $s\to +\infty$ for some $\delta >0$. There is a corresponding definition on the left. The function is said to have the $n$-th Laplace derivative at $x$ when these two are equal, the common value is denoted by $f_{\langle n\rangle }\left(x\right)$. In this work we establish the basic properties of this new derivative and show that, by an example, it is more general than...

In this paper the context of independent sets $J_L^p$ is assigned to the complete lattice (P(M),⊆) of all subsets of a non-empty set M. Some properties of this context, especially the irreducibility and the span, are investigated.

Let $Q(u,v)$ be a positive definite binary quadratic form with arbitrary real coefficients. For large real $x$, one may ask for the number $B\left(x\right)$ of primitive lattice points (integer points $(m,n)$ with $gcd(M,n)=1$) in the ellipse disc $Q(u,v)\le x$, in particular, for the remainder term $R\left(x\right)$ in the asymptotics for $B\left(x\right)$. While upper bounds for $R\left(x\right)$ depend on zero-free regions of the zeta-function, and thus, in most published results, on the Riemann Hypothesis, the present paper deals with a lower estimate. It is proved that the absolute...
