This note presents an implicit function theorem for generalized equations, simultaneously generalizing Robinson’s implicit function theorem for strongly regular generalized equations and Clarke’s implicit function theorem for equations with Lipschitz-continuous mappings.

The purpose of this paper is to define a new equivalence relation τ∗ on divisible hypergroups and to show that this relation is the smallest strongly regular relation (the fundamental relation) on commutative divisible hypergroups. We show that τ∗ ̸= β∗, τ∗ ̸= γ∗ and, we define a divisible hypergroup on every nonempty set. We show that the quotient of a finite divisible hypergroup by τ∗ is the tr...

We provide a new construction of the strongly regular graphs associated with the two sporadic simple groups M22 and HS. Further, we give some new constructions of other known strongly regular graphs by taking the orbits of a certain subgroup of M22 on the planes of the Hermitian variety H(5, 4). These geometric constructions can be used to produce cap codes with large parameters and automorphis...

For every n positive integer we show the construction of a strongly regular graph of order at most 2 which contains every graph of ordered n as a subgraph. The estimation concerning the construction is best possible.

Various studies have investigated the temporal aspects of non­ native speech and their relation to perceived fluency, because fluency constitutes an important aspect of second language proficiency. For this purpose it is important to determine which measures are most strongly correlated with perceived fluency and how these measures vary. In the present study objective measures related to percei...

In a previous paper it was established that there are at least 27 non-isomorphic strongly regular (40, 12, 2, 4) graphs. Using a different and more efficient method we have re-investigated these graphs and have now been able to determine them all, and so complete the classification. We have discovered that there are precisely 28 non-isomorphic (40, 12, 2, 4) strongly regular graphs. The one tha...

Let ∆ be one of the dual polar spaces DQ(8, q), DQ−(7, q), and let e : ∆ → Σ denote the spin-embedding of ∆. We show that e(∆) is a two-intersection set of the projective space Σ. Moreover, if ∆ ∼= DQ−(7, q), then e(∆) is a (q + 1)-tight set of a nonsingular hyperbolic quadric Q(7, q) of Σ ∼= PG(7, q). This (q + 1)-tight set gives rise to more examples of (q + 1)-tight sets of hyperbolic quadri...
