• Existence of Integral and Anti-periodic Boundary Valued Problem of
Fractional Order $$0<\alpha \le 3$$ 0 < α ≤ 3
• Authors: Mohammed M. Matar
Pages: 959 - 973
Abstract: We are concerned with the existence of solutions of a class of fractional differential equations with anti-periodic and integral boundary conditions involving the Caputo fractional derivative with order $$\alpha \in (0,3]$$ . We give three results based on Banach fixed-point theorem, and Schauder fixed-point theorems.

• A Viral Model with Intracellular Delay and Humoral Immunity
• Authors: Hong Xiang; Yong-Lu Tang; Hai-Feng Huo
Pages: 1011 - 1023
Abstract: In this paper, a classical of virus dynamics model with intracellular delay and humoral immunity is introduced. By using suitable Lyapunov functionals and the Lasalle invariant principle, the global stability of the equilibria is proved. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our results. The effect of delay and humoral immunity is also discussed.

• A Non-abelian Tensor Product of Hom–Lie Algebras
• Authors: J. M. Casas; E. Khmaladze; N. Pacheco Rego
Pages: 1035 - 1054
Abstract: Non-abelian tensor product of Hom–Lie algebras is constructed and studied. This tensor product is used to describe universal ( $$\alpha$$ )-central extensions of Hom–Lie algebras and to establish a relation between cyclic and Milnor cyclic homologies of Hom-associative algebras satisfying certain additional condition.

• Homomorphic Images of Circuits in $$\hbox {PSL}(2,{\mathbb {Z}})$$ PSL ( 2
, Z ) -Space
• Authors: Qaiser Mushtaq; Abdul Razaq
Pages: 1115 - 1133
Abstract: Each conjugacy class of actions of $$PGL\left( {2,{\mathbb {Z}}} \right)$$ on the projective line over a finite field $$F_q$$ denoted by $$PL\left( {F_q } \right)$$ , can be represented by a coset diagram $$D\left( {\theta ,q} \right)$$ , where $$\theta \in F_q$$ and q is a prime power. The coset diagrams are composed of fragments, and the fragments are further composed of two or more circuits at a certain common point. Professor Graham Higman raised a question: for what values of q and $$\theta$$ , can a fragment $$\gamma$$ be found in $$D\left( {\theta ,q} \right) '$$ Mushtaq in 1983 found that the condition for the existence of a fragment in $$D\left( {\theta ,q} \right)$$ is a polynomial f in $${\mathbb {Z}}\left[ z \right]$$ . In this paper, we answer the question: how many polynomials are obtained from the fragments, composed by joining the circuits $$\left( {n_1 ,n_2 } \right)$$ and $$\left( {m_1 ,m_2 } \right)$$ , where $$n_2 <n_1 <m_2 <m_1$$ , at all points of connection.

• On the Structure of Third-Power Associative Absolute Valued Algebras
• Authors: José Antonio Cuenca Mira
Pages: 1135 - 1148
Abstract: This paper deals with pairs of nonzero idempotents e and f of a third-power associative absolute valued algebra A satisfying $$(ef)e= e(fe)$$ and $$(fe)f=f(ef)$$ (pairwise flexible idempotents), and the role that they play on the structure of A. We show that if g is a nonzero idempotent of A such that the nonzero idempotents commuting with g are pairwise flexible, then the subalgebra that they generate $$B_g$$ is isometrically isomorphic to $${\mathbb {R}}$$ , $$\mathop {{\mathbb {C}}}\limits ^{\star }$$ , $$\mathop {{\mathbb {H}}}\limits ^{\star }$$ , or $$\mathop {{\mathbb {O}}}\limits ^{\star }$$ . Our main theorem proves the equivalence of the following assertions: (i) for every two different nonzero idempotents e and f, the nonzero idempotents of A that commute with $$(e-f)^2$$ are pairwise flexible; (ii) each pair of nonzero idempotents of A generates a finite-dimensional subalgebra; and (iii) either A is isometrically isomorphic to $${\mathbb {R}}$$ , $${\mathbb {C}}$$ , $${\mathbb {H}}$$ , $${\mathbb {O}}$$ , $$\mathop {{\mathbb {C}}}\limits ^{\star }$$ , $$\mathop {{\mathbb {H}}}\limits ^{\star }$$ or $$\mathop {{\mathbb {O}}}\limits ^{\star }$$ , or A contains a subalgebra B, which contains all idempotents of A and is isometrically isomorphic to the division absolute valued algebra $${\mathbb {P}}$$ of the Okubo pseudo-octonions. More consequences on the structure of A related with the presence of pairwise flexible idempotents are given, among them several generalizations of some well-known theorems.

• A Numerical Algorithm Based on RBFs for Solving an Inverse Source Problem
• Authors: A. Shidfar; Z. Darooghehgimofrad
Pages: 1149 - 1158
Abstract: In this paper, a meshless numerical scheme for solving an inverse source problem is considered. The proposed scheme is based on approximating the solution employing the thin plate spline (TPS) radial basis function (RBF). Applying this radial basis function results in a badly ill-condition system of equations. The Tikhonov regularization method is employed for solving this system of equations. Determination of regularization parameter is based on generalized cross-validation (GCV) technique. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and ability of this method.

• A Generalized Contraction Principle Under w-Distance for a Partially
Ordered Metric Space
• Authors: Rakesh Batra; Sachin Vashistha
Pages: 1159 - 1174
Abstract: Fixed point results for generalized weak contractions under w-distance are proved using discontinuous control functions that are more relaxed than functions used in related work for metric spaces. Later, we apply our theory to coupled coincidence point problems and existence of solution of Fredholm type integral equation. We present examples to justify our claims.

• Hille and Nehari-Type Oscillation Criteria for Third-Order Emden–Fowler
Neutral Delay Dynamic Equations
• Authors: Yizhuo Wang; Zhenlai Han; Shurong Sun; Ping Zhao
Pages: 1187 - 1217
Abstract: We establish some oscillation criteria for the third-order Emden–Fowler neutral delay dynamic equations of the form: \begin{aligned} (a(t)(x(t)+r(t)x(\tau (t)))^{\Delta \Delta })^\Delta +p(t)x^\gamma (\delta (t))=0 \end{aligned} on a time scale $$\mathbb {T}$$ , where $$\gamma >0$$ is a quotient of odd positive integers, and a and p are real-valued positive rd-continuous functions defined on $$\mathbb {T}$$ . Due to the different values of $$\gamma$$ , we give not only the oscillation criteria for superlinear neutral delay dynamic equations, but also the oscillation criteria for sublinear neutral delay dynamic equations based on the Hille and Nehari-type oscillation criteria. Our results extend and improve some known results in the literature and are new even for the corresponding third-order differential equations and difference equations as our special cases.

• Accuracy Variations in Residual Distribution and Finite Volume Methods on
Triangular Grids
• Authors: Hossain Chizari; Farzad Ismail
Pages: 1231 - 1264
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical and numerical approach in studying accuracy deterioration of residual distribution and cell-vertex finite volume methods on triangular grids. Results herein demonstrate that both methods preserve the order-of-accuracy reasonably well for uniformly skewed triangular grids and the $$L_2$$ errors of both second-order accurate methods behave similarly with values of the same magnitude. On the other hand, the first-order finite volume method has an $$L_2$$ error of about an order of magnitude higher than its residual distribution counterpart. Both first-order methods are unable to preserve the order-of-accuracy for high-frequency data when the grids are highly skewed although the residual distribution approach has a slightly better performance. Both second-order methods perform quite decently for high-frequency data on uniformly skewed grids. However, the order-of-accuracy of finite volume methods excessively deteriorate when the grids are skewed non-uniformly unlike the residual distribution methods which preserve the order-of-accuracy.

• On the Brush Number of the Cartesian Product of Tree with Path or Cycle
• Authors: Gek Ling Chia; Ta Sheng Tan
Pages: 1265 - 1275
Abstract: In this paper, we are interested in the brush number of a graph—a concept introduced by McKeil, Messinger, Nowakowski and Pralat. Our main aim in this paper is to study the brush number of the Cartesian product of a tree with a path, and a tree with a cycle. Based on an optimal cleaning process of a tree, we describe cleaning processes that give upper bounds to the brush number of $$T\times P_n$$ and $$T\times C_n$$ . We also show that these bounds are tight if T is a star, a double star and some generalisation of a star.

• Argument Properties of Analytic Functions Associated with the Fixed
Coefficients
• Authors: Young Jae Sim; Oh Sang Kwon; Nak Eun Cho
Pages: 1291 - 1306
Abstract: In the present paper, we derive a property of analytic functions $$p(z) = 1 + p_{n}z^{n} + \cdots$$ with fixed initial coefficients in their series expansion, which satisfy the condition $$-\pi \beta /2 < \arg p(z_{1}) < \arg p(z) < \arg p(z_{2}) = \pi \alpha /2$$ , for some $$z_{1}$$ and $$z_{2}$$ with $$z_{1} = z_{2} =r<1$$ and for all z with $$z <r$$ , where $$0<\alpha \le 2$$ and $$0<\beta \le 2$$ . Using this property, we obtain some sufficient conditions for normalized analytic functions $$f(z) = z + a_{n+1}z^{n+1} + \cdots$$ by considering the fixed initial coefficients to satisfy $$-\pi \beta /2 < \arg \left\{ zf'(z)/f(z) - \gamma \right\} < \pi \alpha /2$$ for all z in the unit disk $${\mathbb {U}}$$ on the complex plane, where $$0 \le \alpha , \beta < 1$$ , and $$\gamma =0$$ or 1 / 2.

• Some Results on Products of Finite Groups
• Authors: Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches; Luis M. Ezquerro; A. A. Heliel; M. M. Al-Shomrani
Pages: 1341 - 1351
Abstract: Subgroups $$A$$ and $$B$$ of a finite group are said to be mutually permutable (respectively, M-permutable and $${{\mathrm{sn}}}$$ -permutable) if $$A$$ permutes with every subgroup (respectively, every maximal subgroup and every subnormal subgroup) of $$B$$ and viceversa. If every subgroup of $$A$$ permutes with every subgroup of $$B$$ , then the product is said to be totally permutable. These kinds of products have received much attention in the last twenty years. The aim of this paper is to analyse the behaviour of finite pairwise mutually permutable, mutually M-permutable, mutually $${{\mathrm{sn}}}$$ -permutable and totally permutable products with respect to certain classes of groups including the supersoluble groups, widely supersoluble groups, and also the classes of $$PST$$ -, $$PT$$ - and $$T$$ -groups.

• On $$(n,k)$$ ( n , k ) -Quasi- $$*$$ ∗ -paranormal Operators
• Authors: Qingping Zeng; Huaijie Zhong
Pages: 1363 - 1376
Abstract: For nonnegative integers $$n$$ and $$k$$ , we introduce in this paper a new class of $$(n,k)$$ -quasi- $$*$$ -paranormal operators satisfying \begin{aligned} T^{1+n}(T^{k}x) ^{1/(1+n)} T^{k}x ^{n/(1+n)} \ge T^*(T^{k}x) \text { for all } x \in H. \end{aligned} This class includes the class of $$n$$ - $$*$$ -paranormal operators and the class of $$(1,k)$$ -quasi- $$*$$ -paranormal operators contains the class of $$k$$ -quasi- $$*$$ -class $$A$$ operators. We study the basic properties of $$(n,k)$$ -quasi- $$*$$ -paranormal operators, like relations of this new class of operators with other classes known in the literature, their matrix representation, and properties of their spectra.

• Transmission Dynamics of an Epidemic Model with Vaccination, Treatment and
Isolation
• Authors: Qianqian Cui; Qiang Zhang; Zhipeng Qiu; Xiaomin Yang
Abstract: This paper focuses on the global stability of an epidemic model with vaccination, treatment and isolation. The basic reproduction number $${\mathcal {R}}_0$$ is derived. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of equilibria are obtained. Numerical simulations are performed to verify and complement the theoretical results. Furthermore, we consider the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of the basic reproduction number $${\mathcal {R}}_0$$ . The results show that the transmission rate, the fraction of infected receives treatment, vaccination rate, the isolation rate are crucial to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. These suggest that public health workers design the control strategies of disease should consider the influence of vaccination, treatment and isolation.

• Heterogeneous Ramsey Algebras and Classification of Ramsey Vector Spaces
• Authors: Zu Yao Teoh; Wen Chean Teh
Abstract: Carlson introduced the notion of a Ramsey space as a generalization to the Ellentuck space. When a Ramsey space is induced by an algebra, Carlson suggested a study of its purely combinatorial version now called Ramsey algebra. Some basic results for homogeneous algebras have been obtained. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a Ramsey algebra for heterogeneous algebras and derive some basic results. Then, we study the Ramsey-algebraic properties of vector spaces.

• Finite s -Geodesic Transitive Graphs Which Are Locally Disconnected
• Authors: Wei Jin
Abstract: It was previously shown that there is a bijection between the family of locally disconnected 2-geodesic transitive graphs $$\Gamma$$ and a certain family of partial linear spaces $${\mathcal {S}}(\Gamma )$$ . In this paper, we first determine a relationship between the 2-geodesic transitivity of $$\Gamma$$ and the local s-arc transitivity of the incidence graph of $${\mathcal {S}}(\Gamma )$$ . Next, we give a reduction theorem for the family of locally disconnected s-geodesic transitive graphs.

• A General Representation Theorem of a Kind of Super B -Quasi-Ehresmann
Semigroups
• Authors: Gang Li; K. P. Shum
Abstract: We first study the structure of a special generalized regular semigroup, namely the B-semiabundant semigroup which can be expressed as the join of the pseudo-varieties of finite groups and finite aperiodic groups. In the literature, the weakly B-semiabundant semigroups have recently been thoughtfully investigated and considered by Wang. One easily observes that the class of good B-semiabundant semigroups is a special class of semigroups embraces all abundant (and hence regular) semigroups. In particular, a super B-quasi-Ehresmann semigroup is an analogy of an orthodox semigroup within the class of B-semiabundant semigroups. Thus, the class of super B-quasi-Ehresmann semigroups is obviously a subclass of the class of good B-quasi-Ehresmann semigroups which contains all orthodox semigroups. Thus, the super B-quasi-Ehresmann semigroup behaves similarly as the Clifford subsemigroups within the class of regular semigroups. Consequently, a super B-quasi-Ehresmann semigroup is now recognized as an important generalized regular semigroup. Our aim in this paper is to describe the properties and intrinsic structure of a super B-quasi-Ehresmann semigroup whose band of projections is right regular, right normal, left semiregular, left seminormal, regular, left quasinormal or normal, respectively. Hence, our representation theorem of the super B-quasi-Ehresmann semigroups improves, strengthens and generalizes the well-known “standard representation theorem of an orthodox semigroup” established by He et al. (Commun. Algebra 33:745–761, 2005). Finally, a general representation theorem in the category of Ehresmann semigroups is given.
