It is well known that, in forward inference in fuzzy logic, the generalized modus ponens is guaranteed by a functional inequality called the law of $T$-conditionality. In this paper, the $T$-conditionality for $T$-power based implications is deeply studied and the concise necessary and sufficient conditions for a power based implication $I^T$ being $T$-conditional are obtained. Moreover, the sufficient conditions under which a power based implication $I^T$ is $T^{*}$-conditional are discussed, this discussions...

In this note, we prove that there is no transcendental entire function $f\left(z\right)\in \mathbb{Q}\left[\right[z\left]\right]$ such that $f\left(\mathbb{Q}\right)\subseteq \mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathrm{den}f(p/q)=F\left(q\right)$, for all sufficiently large $q$, where $F\left(z\right)\in \mathbb{Z}\left[z\right]$.

Let $a$ and $b\in \mathbb{N}$. Denote by $R_{a,b}$ the set of all integers $n>1$ whose canonical prime representation $n=p_1^{{\alpha }_1}{p}_2^{{\alpha }_2}\cdots p_r^{{\alpha }_r}$ has all exponents ${\alpha }_i$ $(1\le i\le r)$ being a multiple of $a$ or belonging to the arithmetic progression $at+b$, $t\in {\mathbb{N}}_0:=\mathbb{N}\cup \left\{0\right\}$. All integers in $R_{a,b}$ are called generalized square-full integers. Using the exponent pair method, an upper bound for character sums over generalized square-full integers is derived. An application on the distribution of generalized square-full integers in an arithmetic progression is given. ...

Let $j\ge 2$ be a given integer. Let $H_k^{*}$ be the set of all normalized primitive holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight $k\ge 2$ for the full modulo group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. For $f\in H_k^{*}$, denote by ${\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}\left(n\right)$ the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficient of $j$th symmetric power $L$-function ($L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f)$) attached to $f$. We are interested in the average behaviour of the sum $$\sum _{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{n=a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2\le x}{(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5,a_6)\in {\mathbb{Z}}^6}}{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}^2\left(n\right),$$ where $x$ is sufficiently large, which improves the recent work of A. Sharma and A. Sankaranarayanan (2023).

Let $c_q\left(n\right)$ be the Ramanujan sum, i.e. $c_q\left(n\right)={\sum }_{d\left|\right(q,n)}d\mu (q/d)$, where μ is the Möbius function. In a paper of Chan and Kumchev (2012), asymptotic formulas for ${\sum }_{n\le y}{\left({\sum }_{q\le x}{c}_q\left(n\right)\right)}^k$ (k = 1,2) are obtained. As an analogous problem, we evaluate ${\sum }_{n\le y}{\left({\sum }_{n\le x}c{̂}_q\left(n\right)\right)}^k$ (k = 1,2), where $c{̂}_q\left(n\right):={\sum }_{d\left|\right(q,n)}d\left|\mu (q/d)\right|$.

A natural number $n$ is said to be a $(k,r)$-integer if $n=a^{k}b$, where $k>r>1$ and $b$ is not divisible by the $r$th power of any prime. We study the distribution of such $(k,r)$-integers in the Piatetski-Shapiro sequence $\left\{\lfloor n^c\rfloor \right\}$ with $c>1$. As a corollary, we also obtain similar results for semi-$r$-free integers.

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of class $C^2$ in $ℝ$N and let $K$ be a compact subset of $\partial \Omega$. Assume that $q\ge (N+1)/\left(N-1\right)$ and denote by $U_K$ the maximal solution of $-\Delta u+u^q=0$ in $\Omega$ which vanishes on $\partial \Omega \setminus K$. We obtain sharp upper and lower estimates for $U_K$ in terms of the Bessel capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$ and prove that $U_K$ is $\sigma$-moderate. In addition we describe the precise asymptotic behavior of $U_K$ at points $\sigma \in K$, which depends on the “density” of $K$ at $\sigma$, measured in terms of the capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$.

We prove that for a normed linear space $X$, if $f_1:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconvex with modulus $\omega$, $f_2:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconcave with modulus $\omega$ and $f_1\le f_2$, then there exists $f\in C^{1,\omega }\left(X\right)$ such that $f_1\le f\le f_2$. Using this result we prove a generalization of Ilmanen lemma (which deals with the case $\omega \left(t\right)=t$) to the case of an arbitrary nontrivial modulus $\omega$. This generalization (where a $C_{loc}^{1,\omega }$ function is inserted) gives a positive answer to a problem formulated by A. Fathi and M. Zavidovique in 2010.

A geometric progression of length k and integer ratio is a set of numbers of the form $a,ar,...,a{r}^{k-1}$ for some positive real number a and integer r ≥ 2. For each integer k ≥ 3, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a strictly decreasing sequence ${\left(a_i\right)}_{i=1}^{\infty }$ of positive real numbers with a₁ = 1 such that the set $G^{\left(k\right)}={\bigcup }_{i=1}^{\infty }(a_{2i},a_{2i-1}]$ contains no geometric progression of length k and integer ratio. Moreover, $G^{\left(k\right)}$ is a maximal subset of (0,1] that contains no geometric progression of length k and integer ratio. It is also proved that...

We investigate the average behavior of the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficients of the $j$th ($j\ge 2$ be any fixed integer) symmetric power $L$-function (i.e., $L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f)$), attached to a primitive holomorphic cusp form $f$ of weight $k$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ over certain sequences of positive integers. Precisely, we prove an asymptotic formula with an error term for the sum $$S_j^{*}:=\sum _{a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2\le x(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5,a_6)\in {\mathbb{Z}}^6}{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}^2(a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2),$$ where $x$ is sufficiently large, and $$L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f):=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}\left(n\right)}{n^s}.$$ When $j=2$, the error term which we obtain improves the earlier known result.

For an integer $k\ge 2$, let ${\left(n\right)}_n$ be the $k-$generalized Pell sequence which starts with $0,...,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is given by the linear recurrence $n=2n-1+n-2+\cdots +n-k$. In this paper, we find all $k$-generalized Pell numbers with only one distinct digit (the so-called repdigits). Some interesting estimations involving generalized Pell numbers, that we believe are of independent interest, are also deduced. This paper continues a previous work that searched for repdigits in the usual Pell sequence ${\left(P_n^{\left(2\right)}\right)}_n$. ...

In a Tychonoff space $X$, the point $p\in X$ is called a $C^{*}$-point if every real-valued continuous function on $C\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ can be extended continuously to $p$. Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a $C^{*}$-point. A classic example is the space ${𝐖}^{*}={\omega }_1+1$ consisting of the countable ordinals together with ${\omega }_1$. The point ${\omega }_1$ is known to be a $C^{*}$-point as well as a $P$-point. We supply a characterization of $C^{*}$-points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space...

The Golomb space ${\mathbb{N}}_{\tau }$ is the set $\mathbb{N}$ of positive integers endowed with the topology $\tau$ generated by the base consisting of arithmetic progressions $\{a+bn:n\ge 0\}$ with coprime $a,b$. We prove that the Golomb space ${\mathbb{N}}_{\tau }$ is topologically rigid in the sense that its homeomorphism group is trivial. This resolves a problem posed by T. Banakh at Mathoverflow in 2017.
