The fixed infinitely differentiable function $\rho \left(x\right)$ is such that $\left\{n\rho \right(nx\left)\right\}$ is a regular sequence converging to the Dirac delta function $\delta$. The function ${\delta }_{𝐧}\left(𝐱\right)$, with $𝐱=(x_1,\cdots ,x_m)$ is defined by $${\delta }_{𝐧}\left(𝐱\right)=n_1\rho \left(n_1{x}_1\right)\cdots n_m\rho \left(n_m{x}_m\right).$$ The product $f\circ g$ of two distributions $f$ and $g$ in ${𝒟}_m^{\text{'}}$ is the distribution $h$ defined by $$\underset{n_1\to \infty }{error}\cdots \underset{n_m\to \infty }{error}\langle f_{𝐧}{g}_{𝐧},\phi \rangle =\langle h,\phi \rangle ,$$ provided this neutrix limit exists for all $\phi \left(𝐱\right)={\phi }_1\left(x_1\right)\cdots {\phi }_m\left(x_m\right)$, where $f_{𝐧}=f*{\delta }_{𝐧}$ and $g_{𝐧}=g*{\delta }_{𝐧}$.

For any insurance contract to be mutually advantageous to the insurer and the insured, premium setting is an important task for an actuary. The maximum premium ($P_{max})$ that an insured is willing to pay can be determined using utility theory. The main focus of this paper is to determine $P_{max}$ by considering different forms of the utility function. The loss random variable is assumed to follow different Statistical distributions viz Gamma, Beta, Exponential, Pareto, Weibull, Lognormal and Burr....

For a space $Z$, we denote by $ℱ\left(Z\right)$, $𝒦\left(Z\right)$ and ${ℱ}_2\left(Z\right)$ the hyperspaces of non-empty closed, compact, and subsets of cardinality $\le 2$ of $Z$, respectively, with their Vietoris topology. For spaces $X$ and $E$, $C_p(X,E)$ is the space of continuous functions from $X$ to $E$ with its pointwise convergence topology. We analyze in this article when $ℱ\left(Z\right)$, $𝒦\left(Z\right)$ and ${ℱ}_2\left(Z\right)$ have continuous selections for a space $Z$ of the form $C_p(X,E)$, where $X$ is zero-dimensional and $E$ is a strongly zero-dimensional metrizable space. We prove that $C_p(X,E)$ is weakly orderable...

We consider the equation $$-{\left(r\left(x\right)y^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)\right)}^{\text{'}}+q\left(x\right)y\left(x\right)=f\left(x\right),x\in ℝ(*)$$ where $f\in L_p\left(ℝ\right)$, $p\in (1,\infty )$ and $$\begin{array}{c}r>0,q\ge 0,\frac{1}{r}\in L_1^{\mathrm{loc}}\left(ℝ\right),q\in L_1^{\mathrm{loc}}\left(ℝ\right),\\ \underset{\left|d\right|\to \infty }{lim}{\int }_{x-d}^x\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{r\left(t\right)}·{\int }_{x-d}^{x}q\left(t\right)\mathrm{d}t=\infty .\end{array}$$ In an earlier paper, we obtained a criterion for correct solvability of ($*$) in $L_p\left(ℝ\right),$ $p\in (1,\infty ).$ In this criterion, we use values of some auxiliary implicit functions in the coefficients $r$ and $q$ of equation ($*$). Unfortunately, it is usually impossible to compute values of these functions. In the present paper we obtain sharp by order, two-sided estimates (an estimate of a function $f\left(x\right)$ for $x\in (a,b)$ through a function $g\left(x\right)$ is sharp by order if $c^{-1}\left|g\left(x\right)\right|\le \left|f\left(x\right)\right|\le c\left|g\left(x\right)\right|,$ ...

Un sottogruppo $H$ di un gruppo $G$ si dice «almost normal» se ha soltanto un numero finito di coniugati in $G$, e ovviamente l'insieme $an\left(G\right)$ costituito dai sottogruppi almost normal di $G$ è un sottoreticolo del reticolo $\mathcal{L}\left(G\right)$ di tutti i sottogruppi di $G$. In questo articolo vengono studiati gli isomorfismi tra reticoli di sottogruppi almost normal, provando in particolare che se $G$ è un gruppo supersolubile e $\overline{G}$ è un gruppo FC-risolubile tale che i reticoli $an\left(G\right)$ e $an\left(\overline{G}\right)$ sono isomorfi, allora anche $\overline{G}$ è supersolubile,...
