In this paper, left derivations and Jordan left derivations in full and upper triangular matrix rings over unital associative rings are characterized.

In this paper, a new inequality for generalized convex functions which is related to the left side of generalized Hermite-Hadamard type inequality is obtained. Some applications for some generalized special means are also given.

We take an algorithmic and computational approach to a basic problem in abstract algebra: determining the correct generalization to dialgebras of a given variety of nonassociative algebras. We give a simplified statement of the KP algorithm introduced by Kolesnikov and Pozhidaev for extending polynomial identities for algebras to corresponding identities for dialgebras. We apply the KP algorith...

We study analyticity, differentiability, and semismoothness of Löwner’s operator and spectral functions under the framework of Euclidean Jordan algebras. In particular, we show that many optimization-related classical results in the symmetric matrix space can be generalized within this framework. For example, the metric projection operator over any symmetric cone defined in a Euclidean Jordan a...

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. By a Bres̃ar generalized derivation of R we mean an additive map g : R→ R such that g (xy) = g (x) y + xd (y) for all x, y ∈ R, where d is a derivation of R. And an additive mapping f : R → R is called a generalized derivation in the sense of Nakajima if it satisfies f(xy) = f(x)y + xf(y) − xf(1)y for all x, y ∈ R. In this paper we extend some results o...
