We identify the torus with the unit interval [0,1) and let n,ν ∈ ℕ with 0 ≤ ν ≤ n-1 and N:= n+ν. Then we define the (partially equally spaced) knots $t_j$ = ⎧ j/(2n) for j = 0,…,2ν, ⎨ ⎩ (j-ν)/n for for j = 2ν+1,…,N-1. Furthermore, given n,ν we let $V_{n,\nu }$ be the space of piecewise linear continuous functions on the torus with knots $t_j:0\le j\le N-1$. Finally, let $P_{n,\nu }$ be the orthogonal projection operator from L²([0,1)) onto $V_{n,\nu }$. The main result is $li{m}_{n\to \infty ,\nu =1}\left|\right|P_{n,\nu }:L^{\infty }\to L^{\infty }\left|\right|=su{p}_{n\in \mathbb{N},0\le \nu \le n}\left|\right|P_{n,\nu }:L^{\infty }\to L^{\infty }\left|\right|=2+(33-18\surd 3)/13$. This shows in particular that the Lebesgue constant of the classical...

To each set of knots $t_i=i/2n$ for i = 0,...,2ν and $t_i=(i-\nu )/n$ for i = 2ν + 1,..., n + ν, with 1 ≤ ν ≤ n, there corresponds the space ${}_{\nu ,n}$ of all piecewise linear and continuous functions on I = [0,1] with knots $t_i$ and the orthogonal projection $P_{\nu ,n}$ of L²(I) onto ${}_{\nu ,n}$. The main result is $li{m}_{(n-\nu )\wedge \nu \to \infty }\left|\right|P_{\nu ,n}\left|\right|₁=su{p}_{\nu ,n:1\le \nu \le n}\left|\right|P_{\nu ,n}\left|\right|₁=2+(2-\surd 3)²$. This shows that the Lebesgue constant for the Franklin orthogonal system is 2 + (2-√3)².

Let $\sigma =\{{\sigma }_i:i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\mathbb{P}$, $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma \left(G\right)=\{{\sigma }_i:{\sigma }_i\cap \pi \left(G\right)\ne \varnothing \}$. A set $\mathscr{H}$ of subgroups of $G$ is said to be a complete Hall $\sigma$-set of $G$ if every non-identity member of $\mathscr{H}$ is a Hall ${\sigma }_i$-subgroup of $G$ and $\mathscr{H}$ contains exactly one Hall ${\sigma }_i$-subgroup of $G$ for every ${\sigma }_i\in \sigma \left(G\right)$. $G$ is said to be $\sigma$-full if $G$ possesses a complete Hall $\sigma$-set. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is $\sigma$-permutable in $G$ if $G$ possesses a complete Hall $\sigma$-set $\mathscr{H}$ such that $H{A}^x$= $A^{x}H$ for all $A\in \mathscr{H}$ and all $x\in G$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is $\sigma$-permutably embedded in...

Let A be a multiplicative subgroup of $\mathbb{Z}{*}_p$. Define the k-fold sumset of A to be $kA=x_1+...+x_k:x_i\in A,1\le i\le k$. We show that $6A\supseteq \mathbb{Z}{*}_p$ for $\left|A\right|>p^{11/23+ϵ}$. In addition, we extend a result of Shkredov to show that ${\left|2A\right|\gg \left|A\right|}^{8/5-ϵ}$ for $\left|A\right|\ll p^{5/9}$.

We study the group structure in terms of the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups, which is denoted by $n_p\left(G\right)$. The first part is on the group structure of finite group $G$ such that $n_p\left(G\right)=n_p(G/N)$, where $N$ is a normal subgroup of $G$. The second part is on the average Sylow number $\mathrm{asn}\left(G\right)$ and we prove that if $G$ is a finite nonsolvable group with $\mathrm{asn}\left(G\right)<39/4$ and $\mathrm{asn}\left(G\right)\ne 29/4$, then $G/F\left(G\right)\cong A_5$, where $F\left(G\right)$ is the Fitting subgroup of $G$. In the third part, we study the nonsolvable group with small sum of Sylow numbers.

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be conjugate-permutable if $H{H}^g=H^{g}H$ for all $g\in G$. More generaly, if we limit the element $g$ to a subgroup $R$ of $G$, then we say that the subgroup $H$ is $R$-conjugate-permutable. By means of the $R$-conjugate-permutable subgroups, we investigate the relationship between the nilpotence of $G$ and the $R$-conjugate-permutability of the Sylow subgroups of $A$ and $B$ under the condition that $G=AB$, where $A$ and $B$ are subgroups of $G$. Some results known in the literature are improved...

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$. We say that $H$ satisfies the $\Pi$-property in $G$ if for any chief factor $L/K$ of $G$, $|G/K:N_{G/K}(HK/K\cap L/K)|$ is a $\pi (HK/K\cap L/K)$-number. We study the influence of some $p$-subgroups of $G$ satisfying the $\Pi$-property on the structure of $G$, and generalize some known results.

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be $ss$-supplemented in $G$ if there exists a subgroup $K$ of $G$ such that $G=HK$ and $H\cap K$ is $s$-permutable in $K$. In this paper, we first give an example to show that the conjecture in A. A. Heliel’s paper (2014) has negative solutions. Next, we prove that a finite group $G$ is solvable if every subgroup of odd prime order of $G$ is $ss$-supplemented in $G$, and that $G$ is solvable if and only if every Sylow subgroup of odd order of $G$ is $ss$-supplemented in $G$. These results...

We show that a finite nonabelian characteristically simple group $G$ satisfies $n=\left|\pi \right(G\left)\right|+2$ if and only if $G\cong A_5$, where $n$ is the number of isomorphism classes of derived subgroups of $G$ and $\pi \left(G\right)$ is the set of prime divisors of the group $G$. Also, we give a negative answer to a question raised in M. Zarrin (2014).

Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a group $G$. The structure of $N$ is given when the $G$-conjugacy class sizes of $N$ is a set of a special kind. In fact, we give the structure of a normal subgroup $N$ under the assumption that the set of $G$-conjugacy class sizes of $N$ is $(p_{1n_1}^{a_{1n_1}},\cdots ,p_{11}^{a_{11}},1)\times \cdots \times (p_{r{n}_r}^{a_{r{n}_r}},\cdots ,p_{r1}^{a_{r1}},1)$, where $r>1$, $n_i>1$ and $p_{ij}$ are distinct primes for $i\in \{1,2,\cdots ,r\}$, $j\in \{1,2,\cdots ,n_i\}$.

We prove that any first order ${ℱ}_2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operator transforming projectable general connections on an $(m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2)$-dimensional fibred-fibred manifold $p=(p,p):(p_Y:Y\to Y)\to (p_M:M\to M)$ into general connections on the vertical prolongation $VY\to M$ of $p:Y\to M$ is the restriction of the (rather well-known) vertical prolongation operator $𝒱$ lifting general connections $\overline{\Gamma }$ on a fibred manifold $Y\to M$ into $𝒱\overline{\Gamma }$ (the vertical prolongation of $\overline{\Gamma }$) on $VY\to M$.

Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. Subgroup $H$ is said to be weakly $ℳ$-supplemented in $G$ if there exists a subgroup $B$ of $G$ such that (1) $G=HB$, and (2) if $H_1/H_G$ is a maximal subgroup of $H/H_G$, then $H_{1}B=B{H}_1<G$, where $H_G$ is the largest normal subgroup of $G$ contained in $H$. We fix in every noncyclic Sylow subgroup $P$ of $G$ a subgroup $D$ satisfying $1<\left|D\right|<\left|P\right|$ and study the $p$-nilpotency of $G$ under the assumption that every subgroup $H$ of $P$ with $\left|H\right|=\left|D\right|$ is weakly $ℳ$-supplemented in $G$. Some recent results are generalized. ...
