Parry showed that every continuous transitive piecewise monotonic map τ of the interval is conjugate (by an order preserving homeomorphism) to a uniformly piecewise linear map T (i.e., one with slopes ±s). In the current article, it is shown that the map T is unique. This is proven by showing that any order-preserving conjugacy between two continuous transitive uniformly piecewise linear maps i...

Let G = [ A M N B ] be a generalized matrix algebra defined by the Morita context (A,B,A MB,B NA,ΦMN ,ΨNM) . In this article we mainly study the question of whether there exist the so-called “proper” Jordan derivations for the generalized matrix algebra G . It is shown that if one of the bilinear pairings ΦMN and ΨNM is nondegenerate, then every antiderivation of G is zero. Furthermore, if the ...

The concept of a coset-preserving skew-morphism is a generalization of the widely studied t-balanced skew-morphisms of regular Cayley maps which are in turn generalizations of group automorphisms. In case of abelian groups, all skew-morphisms of regular Cayley maps are roots of coset-preserving skew-morphisms, and therefore, classification of cosetpreserving skew-morphisms of finite abelian gro...

We give a description of a weakly continuous rank preserving map on a reflexive algebra on complex Hilbert space with commutative completely distributive subspace lattice. We show that the implementation of a rank preserving map can be described by the combination of two different types of maps. We also show that a rank preserving map can be implemented by only one type if the corresponding lat...

We give a description of a rank preserving map on a reflexive algebra on complex Hilbert space with commutative completely distributive subspace lattice. We show that the implementation of a rank preserving map can be described by the combination of two different types of maps. We also show that a rank preserving map can be implemented by only one type if the corresponding lattice is irreducibl...

in this paper,  we introduce  the notion of $m$-fuzzifying interval spaces, and discuss the relationship between $m$-fuzzifying interval spaces and $m$-fuzzifying convex structures.it is proved that  the category  {bf mycsa2}  can be embedded in  the category  {bf  myis}  as a reflective subcategory, where  {bf mycsa2} and   {bf  myis} denote  the category of $m$-fuzzifying convex structures of...

We introduce implicit zero-knowledge arguments (iZK) and simulation-sound variants thereof (SSiZK); these are lightweight alternatives to zero-knowledge arguments for enforcing semi-honest behavior. Our main technical contribution is a construction of efficient two-flow iZK and SSiZK protocols for a large class of languages under the (plain) DDH assumption in cyclic groups in the common referen...

Asphalt (cheap and available in huge amount in Jordan) was converted into activated carbon powder by chemical treatment with sulphuric and nitric acids at 450 8C. The final product was characterized and found effective as adsorbent material. Its cation exchange capacity reaches 191.2 meq/100-g carbons when treated with 30 wt% acid/asphalt ratio without airflow rate injection and 208 meq/100-g c...

Let A be a C∗-algebra. Let E and F be Hilbert A-modules with E being full. Suppose that θ : E → F is a linear map preserving orthogonality, i.e., 〈θ(x), θ(y)〉 = 0 whenever 〈x, y〉 = 0. We show in this article that if, in addition, A has real rank zero, and θ is an A-module map (not assumed to be bounded), then there exists a central positive multiplier u ∈M(A) such that 〈θ(x), θ(y)〉 = u〈x, y〉 (x...
