چکیده

To a sequence (sn)n≥0 of real numbers we associate the sequence of Hankel matrices Hn = (si+j), 0 ≤ i, j ≤ n. We prove that if the corresponding sequence of Hankel determinants Dn = detHn satisfy Dn > 0 for n < n0 while Dn = 0 for n ≥ n0, then all Hankel matrices are positive semi-definite, and in particular (sn) is the sequence of moments of a discrete measure concentrated in n0 points on the real line. We stress that the conditions Dn ≥ 0 for all n do not imply the positive semi-definiteness of the Hankel matrices. AMS Subject Classification: Primary 44A60; Secondary 15A15

Univalent holomorphic functions with fixed finitely many coefficients involving Salagean operator

By using generalized Salagean differential operator a newclass of univalent holomorphic functions with fixed finitely manycoefficients is defined. Coefficient estimates, extreme points,arithmetic mean, and weighted mean properties are investigated.

A characterization of finitely generated multiplication modules

 Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a finitely generated unital $R$-module. In this paper, first we give necessary and sufficient conditions that a finitely generated module to be a multiplication module. Moreover, we investigate some conditions which imply that the module $M$ is the direct sum of some cyclic modules and free modules. Then some properties of Fitting ideals o...

MULTIPLICATION MODULES THAT ARE FINITELY GENERATED

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary $R$-module. An $R$-module $M$ is called a multiplication module if for every submodule $N$ of $M$ there exists an ideal $I$ of $R$ such that $N = IM$. It is shown that over a Noetherian domain $R$ with dim$(R)leq 1$, multiplication modules are precisely cyclic or isomorphic to an invertible ideal of $R$. Moreover, we give a charac...

Separated finitely supported $Cb$-sets

The monoid $Cb$ of name substitutions and the notion of finitely supported $Cb$-sets introduced by Pitts as a generalization of nominal sets. A simple finitely supported $Cb$-set is a one point extension of a cyclic nominal set. The support map of a simple finitely supported $Cb$-set is an injective map. Also, for every two distinct elements of a simple finitely supported $Cb$-set, there exists...

On Regularity of Acts

In this article we give a characterization of monoids for which torsion freeness, ((principal) weak, strong) flatness, equalizer flatness or Condition (E) of finitely generated and (mono) cyclic acts and Condition (P) of finitely generated and cyclic acts implies regularity. A characterization of monoids for which all (finitely generated, (mono) cyclic acts are regular will be given too. We als...
