Uncountably many bounded positive solutions for a second order nonlinear neutral delay partial difference equation

In this paper we consider the second order nonlinear neutral delay partial difference equation $Delta_nDelta_mbig(x_{m,n}+a_{m,n}x_{m-k,n-l}big)+ fbig(m,n,x_{m-tau,n-sigma}big)=b_{m,n}, mgeq m_{0},, ngeq n_{0}.$Under suitable conditions, by making use of the Banach fixed point theorem, we show the existence of uncountably many bounded positive solutions for the above partial difference equation...

On solubility of groups with finitely many centralizers

For any group G, let C(G) denote the set of centralizers of G.We say that a group G has n centralizers (G is a Cn-group) if |C(G)| = n.In this note, we prove that every finite Cn-group with n ≤ 21 is soluble andthis estimate is sharp. Moreover, we prove that every finite Cn-group with|G| < 30n+1519 is non-nilpotent soluble. This result gives a partial answer to aconjecture raised by A. Ashrafi in ...

A Characterization of the Suzuki Groups by Order and the Largest Elements Order

One of the important problems in group theory is characterization of a group by a given property, that is, to prove there exist only one group with a given property. Let  be a finite group. We denote by  the largest order of elements of . In this paper, we prove that some Suzuki groups are characterizable by order and the largest order of elements. In fact, we prove that if  is a group with  an...

Complex hyperbolic free groups with many parabolic elements

We consider in this work representations of the of the fundamental group of the 3-punctured sphere in PU(2, 1) such that the boundary loops are mapped to PU(2, 1). We provide a system of coordinates on the corresponding representation variety, and analyse more specifically those representations corresponding to subgroups of (3, 3,∞)-groups. In particular we prove that it is possible to construc...
