abstract. let r be a 2-torsion free ring with identity. in this paper, first we prove that any jordan left derivation (hence, any left derivation) on the full matrix ringmn(r) (n  2) is identically zero, and any generalized left derivation on this ring is a right centralizer. next, we show that if r is also a prime ring and n  1, then any jordan left derivation on the ring tn(r) of all n×n up...

let a be a unital r-algebra and m be a unital a-bimodule. it is shown that every jordan derivation of the trivial extension of a by m, under some conditions, is the sum of a derivation and an antiderivation.

The explicit double sum for the associated Laguerre polynomials is derived combinatorially. The moments are described using certain statistics on permutations and permutation tableaux. Another derivation of the double sum is provided using only the moment generating function.

In this talk, I survey several Q-linear relations for multiple L-values of Arakawa-Kaneko type. T. Arakawa and M. Kaneko proved in 2004 the so-called derivation relation, which is proved as a corollary of the regularized double shuffle relation. Kaneko firstly formulated an extension of the derivation relation by modeling a Hopf algebra introduced by A. Connes and H. Moscovici. G. Kawashima and...

soil water retention curve is one of the crucial input parameters in any modeling study on water flow and solute transport in soils. direct measurement of soil water retention curve is time-consuming and costly. alternatively, pedotransfer functions (ptfs) may be used to indirectly estimate the soil water retention curve from easily measured soil properties. many equations for the soil water re...
