چکیده

This note offers a short, elementary proof of a result similar to Ptolemy’s theorem. Specifically, let di,j denote the distance between Pi and Pj . Let n be a positive integer and Pi, for 1 ≤ i ≤ 2n, be cyclically ordered points on a circle. If Ri := ∏ 1 ≤ j ≤ 2n j 6= i di,j , then n ∑

Groups with one conjugacy class of non-normal subgroups‎ - ‎a short proof

For a finite group $G$ let $nu(G)$ denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of $G$. We give a short proof of a theorem of Brandl, which classifies finite groups with $nu(G)=1$.

A short proof that Diffc(M) is perfect

In this note, we follow the strategy of Haller, Rybicki and Teichmann to give a short, self contained, and elementary proof that Diff0(M) is a perfect group, given a theorem of Herman on diffeomorphisms of the circle.

A new proof for the Banach-Zarecki theorem: A light on integrability and continuity

To demonstrate more visibly the close relation between thecontinuity and integrability, a new proof for the Banach-Zareckitheorem is presented on the basis of the Radon-Nikodym theoremwhich emphasizes on measure-type properties of the Lebesgueintegral. The Banach-Zarecki theorem says that a real-valuedfunction $F$ is absolutely continuous on a finite closed intervalif and only if it is continuo...
