We generalise the insertion into a binary heap to any directed acyclic graph (DAG) with one source vertex. This lets us formulate a general method for converting any such DAG into a data structure with priority queue interface. We apply our method to a hypercube DAG to obtain a sorting algorithm of complexity $\mathcal{O}(n\log^2 (n))$. As another curious application, we derive a relationship b...

Let $varphi(z)=z^m, z in mathbb{U}$, for some positive integer $m$, and $C_varphi$ be the composition operator on the Bergman space $mathcal{A}^2$ induced by $varphi$. In this article, we completely determine the point spectrum, spectrum, essential spectrum, and essential norm of the operators $C^*_varphi C_varphi, C_varphi C^*_varphi$ as well as self-commutator and anti-self-commutators of $C_...

the aim of this paper is to study semigroups possessing $e$-regular elements, where an element $a$ of a semigroup $s$ is {em $e$-regular} if $a$ has an inverse $a^circ$ such that $aa^circ,a^circ a$ lie in $ esubseteq e(s)$. where $s$ possesses `enough' (in a precisely defined way) $e$-regular elements, analogues of green's lemmas and even of green's theorem hold, where green's relations $mbox{$...

Species delimitation of geographically isolated forms is a long-standing problem in less studied insect groups. Often taxonomic decisions are based directly on morphologic variation, and lack a discussion regarding sample size and the efficiency of migration barriers or dispersal/migration capacity of the studied species. These problems are here exemplified in a water beetle complex from the Be...

let $l$ be a completely regular frame and $mathcal{r}l$ be the ringof continuous real-valued functions on $l$. we study the frame$mathfrak{o}(min(mathcal{r}l))$ of minimal prime ideals of$mathcal{r}l$ in relation to $beta l$. for $iinbeta l$, denoteby $textit{textbf{o}}^i$ the ideal${alphainmathcal{r}lmidcozalphain i}$ of $mathcal{r}l$. weshow that sending $i$ to the set of minimal prime ideals...
