in this paper, we investigate various kinds of extensions of twin-good rings. moreover, we prove that every element of an abelian neat ring r is twin-good if and only if r has no factor ring isomorphic to z2  or z3. the main result of [24] states some conditions that any right self-injective ring r is twin-good. we extend this result to any regular baer ring r by proving that every element of a...

Analysis of linked Medicare/Medicaid data files from four New England States (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire) confirm that dually eligible beneficiaries used a disproportionate amount of both Medicare and Medicaid resources in 1995, driven largely by the significant subset of the population that used institutional long-term care (LTC). If States and the Federal Government ...

Locally flat Finsler metrics arise from information geometry. Some speciel locally dually flat Finsler metrics had been studied in Cheng et al. [3] and Xia [4] respectively. As we konw, a new class of Finsler metrics called general (α, β)-metrics are introduced, which are defined by a Riemannian metrics α and 1-form β. These metrics generalize (α, β)-metrics naturally. In this paper, we give a ...

A divergence function defines a Riemannian metric g and dually coupled affine connections ∇ and ∇∗ with respect to it in a manifold M . When M is dually flat, that is flat with respect to ∇ and ∇∗, a canonical divergence is known, which is uniquely determined from (M, g,∇,∇∗). We propose a natural definition of a canonical divergence for a general, not necessarily flat, M by using the geodesic ...

One of most famous theorems in computational geometry is the duality between Voronoi diagram and Delaunay triangulation in Euclidean space. This paper proposes an extension of that theorem to the Voronoi diagram and Delaunay-type triangulation in dually at space. In that space, the Voronoi diagram and the triangulation can be computed e ciently by using potential functions. We also propose high...

We address two properties for Abelian topological groups: “every closed subgroup is dually closed” and “every closed subgroup is dually embedded.” We exhibit a pair of topological groups such that each has both of the properties and the product has neither, which refutes a remark of N. Noble. These examples are the additive group of integers topologized with respect to a convergent sequence as ...

in this article we study two different generalizations of von neumann regularity, namely strong topological regularity and weak regularity, in the banach algebra context. we show that both are hereditary properties and under certain assumptions, weak regularity implies strong topological regularity. then we consider strong topological regularity of certain concrete algebras. moreover we obtain ...

in this paper we construct antimagic labelings of the regular complete multipartite graphs and we also extend the construction to some families of regular graphs.
