Let $pounds$ be the category of locally compact abelian groups and $A,Cin pounds$. In this paper, we define component extensions of $A$ by $C$ and show that the set of all component extensions of $A$ by $C$ forms a subgroup of $Ext(C,A)$ whenever $A$ is a connected group. We establish conditions under which the component extensions split and determine LCA groups which are component projective. ...

We define a new function-valued inner product on L2(G), called ?-bracket product, where G is a locally compact abelian group and ? is a topological isomorphism on G. We investigate the notion of ?-orthogonality, Bessel's Inequality and ?-orthonormal bases with respect to this inner product on L2(G).

the objective of this paper is to present a design procedure for compact plate-fin heat exchangers based on full utilization of pressure drop. since, design engineers need to indices for optimum selection of plates, an appropriate  index   is   developed  and   then based on the rapid design algorithm, developed by previous investigators, the best enveloped has been modified.  the developed ind...

a compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. directed hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. sets of extrema of birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...
