Partitions without sequences of consecutive integers as parts have been studied recently by many authors, including Andrews, Holroyd, Liggett, and Romik, among others. Their results include a description of combinatorial properties, hypergeometric representations for the generating functions, and asymptotic formulas for the enumeration functions. We complete a similar investigation of partition...

Helpful contributions on earlier versions were made by John Bailar, Carl Cranor, David Gee and David Kriebel. The goals of academic researchers may differ from those of regulatory agencies responsible for protecting the environment. Thus, research must take into account issues such as feasibility, merit a...

Dimension-independent Harnack inequalities are derived for a class of subordinate semigroups. In particular, for a diffusion satisfying the BakryEmery curvature condition, the subordinate semigroup with power α satisfies a dimension-free Harnack inequality provided α ∈ ` 1 2 , 1 ́ , and it satisfies the log-Harnack inequality for all α ∈ (0, 1). Some infinite-dimensional examples are also presen...

A new notion of partition-determined functions is introduced, and several basic inequalities are developed for the entropy of such functions of independent random variables, as well as for cardinalities of compound sets obtained using these functions. Here a compound set means a set obtained by varying each argument of a function of several variables over a set associated with that argument, wh...

jachymski [ proc. amer. math. soc., 136 (2008), 1359-1373] gave modified version of a banach fixed point theorem on a metric space endowed with a graph. in the present paper, (g, φ)-graphic contractions have been de ned by using a comparison function and studied the existence of fixed points. also, hardy-rogers g-contraction have been introduced and some fixed point theorems have been proved. s...

Sik,?It was with great interest that I read in J01'1 issue Colonel Wimberley's article on the out iea Dengue-like fever amongst the 15tli Sikhs, It struck me that if there is a differential diagnosis a < between ' Breakbone Dengue ' and the Seven-Day I e\ei c cribed by Major Leonard Rogers?then these interesting cases must fall under the latter heading?and this, in spi e the fact that the fever...
