چکیده

In the paper (Theoret. Comput. Sci. 237 (2000)) Anderson present a theorem which characterizes any semiretract S by means of two retracts R and R!: The /rst part of the paper contains a counterexample for this characterization. Then some results are presented which /nally lead to the theorem which determines for a given semiretract S the minimal number of retracts R1; : : : ; Rm such that the equality S = ⋂m i=1 Ri holds. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Some properties of b-weakly compact operators on Banach lattices

In this paper we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for which each Banach lattice  is    space and we study some properties of b-weakly compact operators from a Banach lattice  into a Banach space . We show that every weakly compact operator from a Banach lattice  into a Banach space  is b-weakly compact and give a counterexample which shows that the inverse is not true but we prove ...

Minimization of Counterexamples in SPIN

We propose an algorithm to find a counterexample to some property in a finite state program. This algorithm is derived from SPIN’s one, but it finds a counterexample faster than SPIN does. In particular it still works in linear time. Compared with SPIN’s algorithm, it requires only one additional bit per state stored. We further propose another algorithm to compute a counterexample of minimal s...

ON COMULTIPLICATION AND R-MULTIPLICATION MODULES

We state several conditions under which comultiplication and weak comultiplication modulesare cyclic and study strong comultiplication modules and comultiplication rings. In particular,we will show that every faithful weak comultiplication module having a maximal submoduleover a reduced ring with a finite indecomposable decomposition is cyclic. Also we show that if M is an strong comultiplicati...

The Minimum Rank Problem: a counterexample

We provide a counterexample to a recent conjecture that the minimum rank of every sign pattern matrix can be realized by a rational matrix. We use one of the equivalences of the conjecture and some results from projective geometry. As a consequence of the counterexample we show that there is a graph for which the minimum rank over the reals is strictly smaller than the minimum rank over the rat...

Giuga's Conjecture on Primality

G. Giuga conjectured that if an integer n satisses n?1 P k=1 k n?1 ?1 mod n, then n must be a prime. We survey what is known about this interesting and now fairly old conjecture. Giuga proved that n is a counterexample to his conjecture if and only if each prime divisor p of n satisses (p ? 1) j (n=p ? 1) and p j (n=p ? 1). Using this characterization, he proved computationally that any counter...
